Finally! After years of us working to raise awareness about the importance of parental self-care, the Surgeon General has sounded the alarm. According to the just-released Surgeon General advisory, parents are stressed out in a way unseen by previous generations.

On this episode we tell our baby-making stories. (cue "awwwww.") Natascha and I had very different experiences on our roads to pregnancy, although we were both of "advanced maternal age" (cue "ewwwww!")

Every July, Alegre enters numbers into a spreadsheet that she's been keeping for over 20 years. She calls it her Family Fiscal Year-End. It's how she tracks the "big picture" financial numbers that affect her family. It lets them know how they are doing on saving for retirement and paying off debt. It's also taught her how to have a long-term vision for her finances because it can be difficult to see the upward trajectory on a daily basis, but over the years, the ups and downs have a way of smoothing out into a consistent, upward trajectory that's exciting. We also talk about the run-up to the new school year which is about a month away, and how we are helping our kiddos prepare.
