In this season finale of Herm’s House Podcast, Kristin and Herm reflect on birthdays, getting older, and the beautiful chaos that comes with family life — all while realizing that recovery takes a little longer than it used to.

They talk candidly about celebrating another year around the sun, navigating health conversations that come with aging, and finding humor in the little reminders that time is, in fact, moving fast. From family adventures and milestone moments to honest reflections on what this season of the podcast has meant to them, this episode feels like sitting around the table at the end of a long, full season.

As they close out both the episode and the season, Kristin and Herm share their gratitude for the Herm’s House community, talk about why rest and recharging matter, and tease what’s ahead for Season Three. It’s reflective, funny, heartfelt — and very on brand for Herm’s House.

We didn’t grow up learning how to budget, invest, or plan for the future — but somehow we’re expected to have it all figured out as adults.

In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm sit down for an honest conversation about family finances, financial planning, and the money habits we inherited (for better or worse). They reflect on how their upbringing shaped their relationship with money, why having a financial advisor isn’t just for the wealthy, and what it looks like to unlearn bad habits while raising kids of their own.

The conversation blends real-life parenting challenges, nostalgia for the MTV era, and the reality of adulthood — where financial decisions carry more weight and planning ahead matters more than ever.

This episode is for anyone who grew up on pop culture, learned money lessons the hard way, and is trying to do things differently for their family.

💡 Episode Highlights

• Why financial advisors are for everyday families — not just the wealthy
• How childhood experiences shape adult money habits
• Breaking unhealthy financial patterns
• Budgeting and planning for long-term stability
• Inflation, adulthood, and why “winging it” doesn’t work anymore
• Parenting through financial responsibility
• Nostalgia, MTV, and how culture has changed
• The importance of open conversations about money at home

🔊 Sound Bites

• “We didn’t grow up learning this stuff.”
• “You need a plan to get there.”
• “You don’t do your own dental work — why do your own finances?”

As 2025 comes to a close, Herm’s House Podcast takes a moment to slow down and reflect on a year filled with growth, parenting milestones, coaching memories, and big family transitions.

In this episode, Kristin and Herm talk about why New Year’s resolutions aren’t enough, how mindfulness and intention shaped their year, and what it’s like watching your kids grow faster than you’re ready for. From launching the podcast and building a new studio space, to coaching youth sports and navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids, this conversation is honest, reflective, and deeply relatable.

Instead of focusing on January goals, this episode is about setting intentions all year long, creating a supportive family environment, and learning how to hold pride and letting go at the same time.

If you’re a parent, a coach, or someone navigating change while trying to stay present — this one’s for you.

• Why goals matter more than New Year’s resolutions
• Parenting through growth, change, and milestones
