Summary
In this episode: community, building fun into your life, college planning, fear, following threads, and travel rewards.
This week we are rejoined by Ginger for another installment of the Round-Up, where we catch up and discuss our favorite takeaways from this past month's episodes. From learning how to best prepare your child for the college application process, to the importance of introspection to pinpoint and work with your fears, and finally to re-framing your fearing relationship with money. It's been a great month with content full of information that all listeners can relate to, no matter what part of the FI journey they are in!
