In this episode of the Shine Brighter Together podcast, Monique Melton dives into a conversation many folks are unsure how to start—talking with children about money, overconsumption, and the values we want them to hold. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone with kids in your life, Monique invites you to consider how your own early experiences with money might still shape your habits today—and how that impacts the children watching and learning from you.
From doing a personal inventory to noticing how kids respond to money conversations, Monique offers approachable ways to talk about needs vs. wants, build healthier attitudes about consumerism, and teach values like contentment, resource-sharing, and thoughtful spending. She also explores the importance of raising children with values that don't rely on constant buying, especially in a world designed to promote consumption at every turn.
Tune in to learn how to make space for these meaningful conversations in everyday moments, and hear why being different from the status quo isn't a bad thing—it's often where real growth begins.
