In today's essential episode of Can You Say Mama, we navigate the often tricky but crucial world of family finances and future planning, with a surprising twist into the land of parenting - starting potty training!
We kick off the conversation by delving into the dynamics of shared finances. Whether you're merging accounts with a partner or managing family expenses, we discuss strategies for effective and fair financial collaboration. Our hosts share their insights on maintaining harmony and transparency in shared financial responsibilities.
Next, we underscore the importance of financial literacy for children. It's never too early to start talking to your kids about money and introduce your children to the concept of money management, savings, and the value of money - setting them up for a financially responsible future.
Then, we shift gears to discuss the crucial yet often overlooked step of seeing a financial planner. Learn why it's important to have a professional in your corner, helping you navigate investments, savings, retirement plans, and more. Our hosts demystify the process and highlight how a financial planner can be a game-changer in your financial journey. Furthermore, we delve into the sensitive but necessary topic of setting up a will and Power of Attorney (POA). Understand the importance of these documents in protecting your assets and ensuring your wishes are honored.
Lastly, for our parent listeners, we take an unexpected yet relatable detour into the world of starting potty training. Are we ready to take this next step with our toddlers or will this be a huge mistake? Listen to find out!
Join us for this informative and engaging episode where we tackle money matters head-on and even dive into the adventures of parenting!

In this new episode of Can You Say Mama, we stray from all mom talk to delve into some of the most fascinating and lesser-explored corners of human experience and mysteries. We catch up with each other from the holidays, dive into our potential future travel plans, and you'll get a review of the Nixit Cup!
We tackle a rarely discussed phenomenon: men experiencing PMS-like symptoms. Our hosts shed light on this intriguing subject, exploring the psychological and physiological aspects that might explain these experiences. Is it a myth, or is there a deeper scientific explanation waiting to be uncovered?
As we move on, we chat about full moons and when Mercury is in retrograde - is this true, or a popular millenial excuse?
Then, we dive into the world of dreams and psychic phenomena. Have you ever had a dream that predicted the future? We share stories from Cassie who has experienced eerily accurate psychic dreams, and discuss what we have to say about these mysterious occurrences.
Finally, we jet off to Miami, a city known for its vibrant culture and, as some believe, extraterrestrial visitors. We'll examine the reports of alien sightings and unexplained phenomena that have turned Miami into a hotbed of UFO activity. Are these visitors from another world, or is there a more earthly explanation?
Join us for this journey into the unknown, where science meets the mystical, and the ordinary meets the extraordinary!
