The number that broke my brain wasn't the birth cost. It was the daycare quote.Vivian Tu, finance expert, Your Rich BFF, and New York Times bestselling author, came on to talk about the actual financial reality of becoming a parent — not the "start a 529" version you've heard a hundred times.The version where even financially stable people feel underwater in year one, and why that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.We got into the STRIP method (her framework for getting your money actually organized), why retirement has to come before your kid's college fund, what "net new costs" look like when you're a new parent, and how the money stories you inherited before age 7 are still running your financial life right now.No fluff. No shame. Just the honest conversation about money and motherhood most people aren't having.Tell Me I'm a Good Mom — new episodes every Wednesday hosted by Lo Bosworth Natale — first time mom and CEO of Love WellnessSponsors:Hatch: Visit www.hatch.co/baby to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.Nuna: Check out nunababy.com or popping into your local Nordstrom to test it out—📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth📖 Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth🛍️ Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth—Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
