On Friday, the 13th Annual Plutus Awards happened in Orlando Florida, hosted by David & John of Debt Free Guys. The Plutus Awards honors creators in the independent financial media.
Some of you may remember that the podcast Joyce and I run, Mom Autism Money, was nominated for two awards this year: Best New Personal Finance Podcast and Best Financial Content for Underserved Communities.
Thank you to all of you who helped nominate us! I have some news for you…
WE WON!

Best Financial Content for Underserved Communities
Mom Autism Money won the award for Best Financial Content for Underserved Communities, presented by Queer Money Podcast.
We were floored. We had hoped to get nominated, and were thrilled when that happened.
To learn that we won was next level.
Mom Autism Money
Mom Autism Money centers financial education for parents of Autistic children. Part of the reason we created the podcast is because there is so little navigable personal finance information for disabled people and their families.
If we — as personal finance writers who have both been in this space for over ten years — had questions, we knew most other parents needed access to this information, too.
We feel so lucky to be able to contribute this super niche financial literacy content to the community, and the community’s support in return means everything.

That said, we were up against some pretty phenomenal competition. Part of the reason it was so unexpected to win was because the creators in this category have all accomplished amazing things while serving their communities.
Today, I want to encourage you to check them ALL out.
