Loading player...
In this episode of Mother’s Corner, host Barbara Jaffter welcomes Kirsty Scully, a certified financial planner whose professional expertise is deeply rooted in her personal story of survival. At age 28, while ten weeks pregnant with her first child, Kirsty lost her husband in a tragic aircraft accident. She shares how this shattering experience forced her into a deeper dependence on God and awakened an unexpected strength to rebuild her life as a single mother. Kirsty provides a unique blend of spiritual encouragement and practical financial wisdom, urging single mothers to move from a "victim" mindset to one of independence and stewardship. She details five essential tools for financial independence, covering earning power, insurance protection, consistent saving, using correct investment vehicles, and seeking professional advice. The conversation emphasizes that financial planning is not an act of fear or a lack of faith, but a powerful expression of love and responsibility for one's family.
