When the topic of movement arises, it often evokes thoughts of exercise. However, we tend to underestimate the constant positioning and motion our bodies undergo throughout the day, affecting our muscles and joints. In today’s episode, author and biomechanist, Katy Bowman and I delved into the concept of "rethinking our position" and explored strategies for nurturing healthier movements of our body parts. (This conversation is an insightful follow-up to her first time on the show, back on EP192.)

What if teaching kids about money didn’t require complicated systems, allowances, or stress? Today’s guest has spent years studying how children actually learn about money - not through lectures or rules, but through lived experience. And after watching families struggle with stress, confusion, and mismatched expectations, he realized something powerful: kids don’t need more information about money - they need practice.

Stephen Day is an economist, educator, and the author of Teach a Kid to Save. Drawing from research and real-life parenting, Stephen created a simple “family mini economy” model that helps kids learn responsibility, saving, and work ethic through everyday routines at home.

In this episode, we talk about how to set up a family mini economy, the difference between family responsibilities and paid work, and why habits matter more than rigid rules. Stephen shares realistic ways to teach kids about earning, spending, and saving.
