Let's Play Money
Let’s Play Money is the podcast that helps parents and grandparents raise money-smart kids through play, storytelling, and simple coaching conversations.
Hosted by certified coach and children’s author Mara Williams, each 20–30 minute episode blends creativity with practicality — turning everyday moments into powerful money lessons for kids. From a farmers market business to bake sales to pet-sitting, Mara’s playful, story-based approach makes financial literacy fun, easy to understand, and engaging for the whole family.
Each episode begins with a guest sharing their first money memory, explores a topic from Mara’s Financial Literacy Triangle (play, literacy, coaching), and wraps up with a lightning round inspired by her book series, The Little Books of Big Business.
Because money lessons don’t need to be boring — they just need to begin.

"What’s Inside the Box? A Hands-On Look at Let’s Play Money"
Welcome back to Let’s Play Money — the podcast that helps parents and grandparents raise money-smart kids through play, storytelling, and simple coaching conversations.
I’m Mara Williams — author, coach, and big believer that learning about money should feel like playtime, not pressure.
Today’s episode is something a little different — I’m unboxing the very first Let’s Play Money subscription box, with some very special help from my producer’s 4-year-old daughter. We’re coloring together, flipping through the packets, and giving you a peek inside the kind of hands-on learning that makes this program work.
If you’ve been curious about what’s inside the box — or how these playful tools really look in action — you’ll love this behind-the-scenes look.
Because when it comes to teaching kids about money, everything you need might just be right inside the box.
