I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.

There's a really important overlap between family planning and financial planning. In the bookstore,

these genres are, of course, separate. But after going through this myself, I can honestly say

they should be in the same section. I personally have spent tens of thousands of dollars trying

to have this baby. And I think I'll talk about it at some point. But for now, I'm thinking a lot about a DM that I got about budgeting for a baby. And because that is so top of mind for me right now, I wanted to go ahead and answer it. As I mentioned yesterday, this will be my last episode of Money Rehab before going on maternity leave. But if you miss that episode yesterday, don't worry, money rehab is still going to be here for you every single day.

While I'm out, the show is going to be guest hosted by some of the smartest people I know in

business and personal finance. Like Tracy Denezio, who built and sold the luxury resale company

Tradesi, Peter Tuckman, who you know and loved as the stock broker on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and a fellow Eminen podcast host,

Minda Hartz, who's the best-selling author of the memo and is an expert on workplace culture.

Mos Huanunu, who's been a journalist for 500 years.

He hosts my favorite Daily News podcast, Mo News, which is actually joining the M&N family.

Yay.

Claire Wasserman, who is an expert on pay negotiation, real estate extraordinaire John Grauman, attorney, but a very cool one, Pamela Maas, who you probably know from Instagram as

law mother, and our very own EP Morgan LaVoy and more. And if you think you'll miss me too much,

do not worry. You will hear my lovely voice very soon even while I'm on,

hope you love it, even while I'm on Mat Leave. I have some special episodes that I have taped,

but I haven't shared yet, like the listener intervention that I'm doing with Bank of America

on the financial topics that matter the most on your road to financial independence,

and some special holiday episodes that you'll hear closer as we get to the

end of the year. I wanted to try and give myself and my husband some time with our daughter,

but I also wanted to make sure that your days would still be full of stories and tips and tricks

to make your money work harder for you. And I think you're really going to like this,
