So a hundred thousand years ago, in 1999, I hopped on my bicycle with a hundred other people. We rode from Seattle, Washington to Washington DC in 48 days.  It was a super fun time. It was a fundraiser for the American Lung Association because when you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.   2. Who inspires you the most and why? My oldest daughter is incredibly inspiring because she is so smart and she’s so driven. She’s 15. She has the normal amount of 15 year old,  the self-consciousness, but there are other parts of her where she’s like, I know that this is right, and I am not going to be deterred in any way. I don’t care what other people think about me.   3. What books are you reading now or have read and loved that you’d recommend? The Psychology of Money by Morgan Hausel Tipped: The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals by Barbara Sloan 4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey? Know what you want and write down what your goals. It doesn’t necessarily have to be you plural. It can be you singular. I think that being on the same page with your partner is so valid. Know what you want as a mom, know what you want as a for your financial situation and then work backwards.   Additional Resources Investor Mama: Make some money  Bigger Pockets Money Podcast First-Time Home Buyer: The Complete Playbook to Avoiding Rookie Mistakes by Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench  How to Sell Your Home: The Essential Guide to a Fast, Stress-Free, and Profitable Sale by Mindy Jensen   Connect with Mindy Twitter Facebook Email: [email protected] Instagram Bigger Pockets
