Topics that many women are afraid to speak up and ask about.We then sit down with a financially confident woman who lets us in on her secrets of success. What does she do that we all should be doing?And finally, since most of us are parents who want to be good financial role models. Sandy ends the show with “A Seat at the Kids Table.” This is the part of the show were the kids get involved. We listen in on their responses to important money questions.
