Life Lessons from the University of Hard Knocks
Manage episode 414606094 series 3570405
When you hear the words 'tough love,' what comes to mind? For me, Jo, it's the pivotal moment my father cut the financial cord, setting the stage for the true-to-life tales of grit & growth you'll hear on today's Raising Rich Podcast. Joined by my daughter Laine, we're laying bare the emotional odyssey from the cushioned life of a university student—to the unceremonious title of UDO (University Dropout) & the bleak realities that followed.
Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through the transitions & tribulations that chiseled my independence & financial acumen, painting a vivid picture of those formative years that many will find all too familiar.
Yet, life's canvas isn't solely painted with broad strokes of hardship; it's the delicate intermingling of love, laughter, and letdowns that truly defines us. In a chapter of my life where romance & reality danced the tango, you'll be privy to the bittersweet nostalgia of a burgeoning love that blossomed amidst the economic drought of the 90s recession.
Together, Laine & I reflect on the fairy-tale beginnings, the idyllic home in 'Woop Woop,' & the house parties that masked the looming financial strains. As the fairy tale waned & reality bit back, you'll hear how resilience took root in the aftermath of a marriage unraveling and the life lessons that ensued!
Follow our mother daughter journey towards financial freedom!
