The one thing I want to make sure that people understand stepmom specifically is you can't be resentful and in control of your life at the same time.

You're sitting in a place of resentment, feeling triggered every time the money goes out to her every single month, spending time thinking about what you've lost, what's going out of your finances, how that's impacting what you can do.

want you to understand by the end of this episode what that resentment is actually doing to you

and your financial future. I'm also going to share a little behind the scenes of my life and my experience
