In this episode of the podcast, my guest and I have a much needed conversation on how to teach kids about money. In this episode, Amina and I Talk about:

Her background and her aha moment with money
When she started thinking about teaching her kids about money
Age appropriate money lessons for kids
What NOT to say to kids about money
Raising sons in today's society
Partnership in Parenting

It is such a rich conversation and I recommend it for all parents, and aspiring parents.

Amina Odukoya works as a product manager in the finance industry, and before that spent several years in frontline roles across retail, small business, and corporate banking. She's also a mum to two boys.

Her interests sit at the intersection of money, identity, and access, especially supporting first generation immigrants in the UK to understand money and financial systems in a way that actually makes sense, without jargon or shame. She also cares deeply about mentorship and helping people have an easier and less isolating career journey than many of us experienced.

Outside of work and parenting, she enjoyd dancing, travelling, cycling, writing poetry, crafting, and finding joy in ordinary, everyday life.
