This one’s for all of us who grew up with “just make it work” energy—and are ready to do things differently.
In today’s powerful episode, we’re joined by the incredible Kallai Plummer, founder of The Kal + Co, operations expert, and host of That Big CEO Energy podcast. Kallai is sharing her real, raw story of financial survival, motherhood, breaking cycles, and building a business that puts her family and her freedom first.
Kallai grew up with a single mom who made it all work behind the scenes—but didn’t talk about money. Later, she found herself in a similar spot as a young single mom, following the “do it right” playbook of college, career, 9-to-5… and still feeling stuck.
Together, we unpack:
The generational patterns around money (and silence) that so many of us are navigatingWhy saving money can feel uncomfortable when you’ve never seen it modeledHow our upbringing shapes not just our finances—but our relationships, communication, and even self-worthWhy it’s so important to let our kids in on age-appropriate money convosWhat it really looks like to walk away from burnout and build a business on your termsAnd how to create safety, strategy, and sustainability—at home and in business
Whether you’re a single mom, a business owner, or just someone trying to change your money story, this episode is full of heart, healing, and straight-up real talk.
The biggest takeaway?
You’re not stuck. You’re learning. And you can teach your kids something different. 💛
