If an episode about math has you sweating, we get it. It’s estimated that 93% of adults have math anxiety –– so it’s no wonder we have anxiety around everything that math touches.

Whether you’re a parent or guardian to a child in this age range or have experienced math and money-related anxiety, this episode is for you. You’ll learn more about why math anxiety exists, how young girls are often more likely to experience it, and what we can do to help ease this anxiety as adults to become more math-confident in all areas of our lives.
