The other day I sent an email to Sarah Li Cain, owner of the blog High Fiving Dollars. I told her not to fall out of her seat because the podcast episode we recorded last summer was about to go live this week. She “lol’d” and teased me a little bit and that’s why Sarah so assume-she goes with the flow. In this episode we talk about freelance writing, moving to new countries, family, and her money story. Even though it has been almost a year (ahem) I found this interview to be engaging, entertaining, funny, and very relevant. Please excuse the background noise as I had to record from a coffee shop because the electricity was out on my block that day.

## Want to Start a Blog?

I love blogging! It has been an incredible experience, transformed my life, and connected me with a ton of amazing people. Blogging is a pretty cheap activity and I recommend hosting your blog with Siteground. Many bloggers have begun leaving HostGator and BlueHost and moving to Siteground. Myself included! Read why I’m leaving HostGator and BlueHost (I have 2 blogs one on each hosting platform) and moving to Siteground. If you’re a new blogger Siteground will cost around $3.95 a month (depending on the size of your audience). They have great customer service and tutorials on how to host your new WordPress blog on Siteground.
