Hi, this is Monica Packer from About Progress, and you're listening to a preview of a very special episode.

Today's episode is a shortened preview of More Personal. My private premium ad-free podcast for members of the Supporters Club, where I

lean into the personal side of personal development. Each Friday, I air a unique episode to this

special podcast for Bestie and Ride or Die members of the Supporters Club. Each episode is a different

feature from the book report to casual convos to honest reviews,

occasionally the marriage movie club, and now my hobby year as well as working on things.

It's a lot of fun to create. It does feel more personal, more relaxed, but also at times

more serious and real and layered because there's fewer people there. It's behind a paywall.

And because of that, I tend to have a little bit more freedom to really speak my mind more transparently, just like I would

to any friend. Today's episode is a reflection of that. It's a casual conversation with my podcast

manager, Taylor. And we are discussing the perilous financial positions that state

at home moms face. You're going to hear in the episode that this isn't just specifically tied

to stay at home moms. It's for anyone who is more in the primary parent position and perhaps

works less or makes less than their partner, if at all. And how tricky of a situation that is. It was inspired by other conversations

we've had as well as other deep dives I've had as well, so there will be some crossover there.

And like I said at the beginning of this episode, this is a preview and a shortened one at that.

So if you want to listen to the full thing, all you've got to do is go to aboutprogress.com

and sign up as a

bestie or ride or die member of the Supporters Club. Supporters make it so I don't have to put

about progress behind a paywall or add a significant number of ads. Both of those things are still

possible if we don't add more to the supporters club. So if you don't want to see this podcast go

anywhere, I highly
