It’s happened. So Money is now on YouTube. After 2,000 episodes.

I have mixed feelings about it. But while I sort through my emotions, I would love a follow 🥰 

I started my career on camera. I’ve loved the last 11 years being off camera with my podcast. But it’s ok. I’m ok. I really am. 😅

Midlife is when retirement stops feeling abstract and starts getting personal. Some days I feel like I’m just getting started and other days…I be refreshing that retirement account balance.

A few reminders, I’m telling myself:

💰💰Your 40s and 50s are often peak earning years, which means even small increases in investing now can have a big long-term impact.

📍Retirement is not an age. It’s a number and a plan.

💻 Refreshing your portfolio 14 times a day does not count as financial planning. We recently engaged with a new financial planner to help us understand all the different retirement scenarios in our future. 

It’s an opportunity to get real but also understand options. Highly recommend.

18 months ago we launched The Montclair Pod thinking we’d make a dozen episodes and call it a day.

Instead, it became something much bigger: a community, a newsroom, and one of the most meaningful things we’ve ever built.

Today, we’re incredibly honored to be featured in the Columbia Journalism Review, which shares the story behind how two Columbia Journalism School grads accidentally built a hyperlocal news podcast that now reaches thousands of listeners and has become a trusted source for Montclair. 

We’re grateful to every person who’s listened, shared an episode, sent us a tip, challenged us, or stopped us at the grocery store to talk about a story. You’ve shaped this show every bit as much as we have.

If you’ve ever wondered how The Montclair Pod got started, why we do this, and where we’re headed next, we’d love for you to give the story a read.

It’s the topic that won’t go away. And if you’re an upcoming author, you’d be lying if you said you didn’t care if you made the list. We all care. It’s a nice thing. But it’s not the only thing. And it’s nothing we can control.

At Book to Brand, @richellefredson and I only talk about what’s in our control as aspiring authors who care to write and publish an impactful book. And the good news is there’s A LOT that is in our control.

Our live, intimate workshop is happening Friday, Oct 9 in NYC.

Too many aspiring authors get hung up on the fact that they’re not “big” on social media. They dismiss their ability to secure a book deal because of it.

But what are we hearing from insiders? Publishers have gotten burned by major deals handed to TikTok “stars.” 

The 2026 lesson for those seeking a book deal: Forget “platform.” Think community. Show how you have influence in other, more meaningful ways in your proposal.

This is just one takeaway we’ll be bringing to Book to Brand in the fall. And “we” includes literary agents, top publishers and recently published authors who look forward to engaging with each and every one of our guests.

Book to Brand is happening October 9 in NYC.

Early bird pricing ends in a few days. 

Check out booktobrand.co for the breakdown.

A manager once told me to change my name to Tina. I got laid off mid-haircut. I almost transferred out of Penn State. None of it was the plan. All of it became the story.

Cash flow stress is universal. Whether you’re earning more than ever or stretching every dollar, that feeling of “Where is my money going?” can sneak up on anyone.

The good news? Improving your cash flow doesn’t always require a major lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes, it starts with taking a fresh look at the bills we’ve stopped questioning.
One place to check: your wireless plan. 📱

As a longtime advocate for spending intentionally—not just spending less—I’m always looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing convenience. That’s why I’m excited to partner with @boostmobile , a wireless provider that offers a $25 Forever Unlimited Plan. That’s data, talk, and text for $25 a month, and the price doesn’t go up. There are no contracts, no minimum line requirements, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can keep the phone you love. 

Sometimes the fastest path to financial momentum is keeping more of the money you already make.
