Ep 7: Doing Your Best, Life as a Mom, & Remembering to Laugh With Cat & Nat
b'It\\u2019s just me, Jamie, hosting the show today! When Doug went to drop our daughter off at daycare, the car broke down, so he can\\u2019t join me. The show must go on, though, and I can\\u2019t wait for you to hear this conversation with today\\u2019s guests! I think you\\u2019ll love Cat & Nat, who are amazingly funny and offer refreshing perspectives on parenting. Cat and Nat are basically twins with different parents. They\\u2019ve been friends since high school, and even have husbands with the same name. Today, their lives are deeply intertwined, as you\\u2019ll hear in this conversation! These two amazing women stumbled their way into becoming mom millionaires, and they want to help you become a mom millionaire too! As a stay-at-home mom, it can be hard to watch your husband feeling the stress of being the only breadwinner, and you might even feel guilty about spending the money that he earns. Finding your own financial success relieves this stress on both of you. Since you\\u2019re listening to this podcast, you probably already know that Doug and I met on Married at First Sight. Since Cat and Nat don\\u2019t know that story, though, I\\u2019ll tell it to them (including with some background on my time on The Bachelor), and I think you might enjoy hearing it from this different perspective! You\\u2019ll also hear about one of the most awkward moments that I had with Doug. Of course I wish that Doug could have been here for this conversation, but it was super fun (and even funny, I think!) even though he couldn\\u2019t be here. Tune in to hear all about being a real mom from two moms who really get it, and who are here to offer the perfect combination of fantastic advice, non-judgmental understanding, and a big dose of fun. I think you\\u2019ll love these two as much as I do!\\xa0Today\\u2019s Guests: Shawniece on Instagram Jephte on Instagram Shawniece on Twitter Jephte on Twitter\\xa0In This Episode: [00:37] - Welcome to the show!
