Why is childcare so expensive, so unreliable, and so difficult to find? Childcare isn't just a family issue, it's an economic crisis. The rising cost, limited availability, and lack of societal support for working parents are forcing many women to make impossible choices between their careers and their families.

Paige Connell, a working mom of four and content creator, is here to expose the cracks in the childcare system and how they disproportionately hold women back in their careers and financial growth.

The rising cost of childcare is outpacing housing and grocery prices, forcing many women to scale back or leave the workforce altogether. Paige shares why this is a systemic issue, not just a personal problem, and what needs to change for families to truly thrive.

We discuss the harsh realities of the childcare crisis:

• Why childcare costs more than rent or a mortgage in most states
• The hidden ways childcare struggles push women out of the workforce
• How society still treats childcare as a "mom's problem" instead of a family issue
• Why summer camps, before-and-after school care, and school closures create an endless cycle of stress
• How single and divorced moms face even greater challenges with childcare costs and scheduling
• What women can do to advocate for better solutions at home and in policy

If you've ever felt like you're drowning in the logistics and cost of childcare, you're not alone. Paige is leading important conversations on equity in parenting, careers, and financial independence.

Reinvention isn't just something that happens, it's something you create. Whether it's after a divorce, a career shift, or a major life change, midlife is actually the perfect time to redefine yourself and step into a new chapter with confidence.

Huge changes after 40 can feel overwhelming but they don't have to be. Karen Covy, divorce coach, lawyer, and host of the Off the Fence podcast, helps women reclaim their power, redefine success, and reinvent themselves at any age.

Many women feel stuck in old identities, afraid to start over. Karen breaks down the three essential keys to reinvention and how to move forward with confidence and clarity.

How to reinvent yourself at any stage, according to Karen:

• Why midlife is the best time to make big changes
• The three keys to reinvention: mindset, vision, and action
• How to take action even when you feel lost or afraid

Money and relationships are deeply connected, yet most of us were never taught how to manage finances in a partnership. Whether you're dating, engaged, married, or recently divorced, having a clear money plan is the key to financial security and a strong, healthy relationship.

In this solo session, Tracy Coenen is breaking down how to take control of your financial future within relationships so you can build both security and freedom. She tackles common money myths, the importance of financial independence, and how to have those tricky money conversations without damaging your relationship.

How to build financial confidence in love:

• Why separate finances don't mean you don't trust each other
• The top financial myths keeping couples stuck and the truth behind them
• How to structure joint and individual accounts for a healthy balance
• The best way to talk about money with your partner, without fights or awkwardness
• The #1 mistake women make in relationships that leaves them financially vulnerable
• Creating a financial plan that supports both your individual and shared goals

Love and money can coexist beautifully when you have the right financial boundaries and strategies in place.

Five steps to a successful love and money plan:

• Know where you stand financially. Track your income, debts, assets, and credit score.
• Establish financial independence. Keep at least one bank account and credit card in your name.
• Master money conversations. Use structured "money dates" to talk about finances with your partner.
• Safeguard your assets. Prenups, postnups, estate planning, and legal protections matter.
• Plan for the future. Think beyond today and create a strategy for retirement, investments, and long-term security.
