    Today, we’re revisiting what we loved about Nikki's conversation with Yvonne Jimerson of Redefining Posh, who gives Nikki some tough love about having the right money mindset in this episode of the Love Your Mom Life podcast.

    As moms, we often don't think twice when it comes to spending money on our families or our kids. But when it's time to invest in ourselves or dish out dough to make our own lives easier? Most of us tend to cringe and tell ourselves that we "can't" afford it or that we "shouldn't" spend money on ourselves. But those kinds of limiting beliefs about money actually aren't serving us!

    Yvonne, an experienced accountant who now helps professional women get out of debt, explains what it means as a woman and a mom to have the "right" money mindset. Tune in to hear all about it, and about where imposter syndrome and personal finances may be intersecting in your own mom life.
