In this REWIND episode, I speak with Josina Kamerling from the CFA Institute and discuss how parents can help their kids, especially girls, think critically about the financial advice they encounter on social media. We cover essential conversations that empower children to evaluate information effectively and build a solid understanding of money management.

For those interested in more on this topic, this episode references Josina Kamerling from the CFA Insitute's paper The Finfluencer Appeal: Investing in the Age of Social Media.

In this episode of Banking on Girls, I sit down with Dr. Darla Bishop—author of How to Afford Everything, Madeline’s Money Adventure (for ages 4–8), and How to Afford College and Grad School. Darla brings her signature mix of humor, wisdom, and real talk to help people of all ages build a healthier relationship with money.

From being a doula to a military spouse, healthcare consultant, and now a voice in financial education, Darla shares her own money journey—and how she’s raising her daughter to be money-smart and confident.

We talk about:
💸 Why so many people are afraid to look at their finances
🎓 Smart ways to pay for college and grad school (especially if you have more than one kid heading there!)
👩‍👧 The impact your words have on your child’s money mindset
💡 How to build financial habits that feel good—not guilt-ridden
