Intro

Odiva Vasell: (00:00)
Hello, all you fabulous fempreneurs. Welcome. Today, we have a very special treat for you. Today, we are here with Krista McLellen, and she is a woman who helps other women get comfortable with the F word, and so we are going to let her tell you more about herself and tell you exactly how she does that. Welcome, welcome Krista.

Krista McLellan: (00:33)
Thank you so much for having me. Yes, I caught the F word, the other F word: finances, and that actually came from my grandfather. He ran a trucking company, so yes, I learned to curse like a truck driver from a young age, and he said to me one time (I was very little), and he slipped a truck driver’s word curse, and he said, “Notice, they have no problem dropping that word, but they have a hard time coming to talk to me about their paycheck.”

Odiva Vasell: (01:06)
Wow.

Krista McLellan: (01:08)
And so, as I have been a bookkeeper, and I help small businesses, and one of the hardest things that they have to do is to talk about their money. All I could think of is my grandfather said it right, and it was, “We really need to get comfortable talking about our money, healing some of our money trauma, our history, so that we can rewrite that story and then be able to understand it so that we can take control. Because if we don’t understand, how can we take control? And once we take control, we’re on the path to freedom.”

Odiva Vasell: (01:46)
Wow, that’s beautiful, Krista. And, oh, you hit home on so many points. Talking about our finances can be like a trauma, and it’s passed down from generation to generation. I’ve seen that in my own family. And it’s sad that we cannot talk to each other about money unless it’s in a negative way. How do you start the process of the conversation? I’m guessing you’ve already done that in your family. How do you start the process of the conversation about finances with people who are just blocked?
