A Scoop of Vanilla

A Scoop of Vanilla

By Lindsey Swanson CFP®

A Scoop of Vanilla is brought to you by Lindsey Swanson a Certified Financial Planner professional and the founder of Stripper Financial Planning. We started this pod to share honest discussions with real people – not a sales pitch of our best selves, but a snapshot from different perspectives. The name, A Scoop of Vanilla, is a play on the fact that, despite working with stigmatized groups, we at Stripper Financial Planning are aggressively vanilla. While the interviews tend to all tie back to the topic of money, the focus is open conversations about topics that challenge & change us.
