• 294. How to Stop Using Credit Cards & Create a Budget That Runs on Autopilot with The Budget Besties
    Feb 17 2026

    Hi mama,

    If you feel like you make good money… but somehow still feel stressed about it — this episode is for you.

    In part two of our mini money mindset series, I’m sitting down with Shana and Vanessa… the Budget Besties… to talk about how working moms can:

    • Stop relying on credit cards • Dig out of holiday debt • Avoid the “Amazon black hole” • Create separate spending buckets that actually work • Set up a simple budget system that runs on autopilot • Teach kids healthy money habits early

    We’re talking about real life budgeting…. not restriction, not shame, not tracking every penny — but building a system that supports your goals, your family, and your future.

    If you’ve ever said: “I’ll figure it out later.” “I make good money… why does it feel tight?” “I don’t even know where it’s all going…”

    This conversation will change how you think about money.

    Plus, we dive into: ✔️ The Christmas debt hangover ✔️ Why credit cards feel like a black hole ✔️ How to automate your budget so it works even when life gets crazy ✔️ Giving your kids their own accounts and financial responsibility ✔️ How to divide holiday spending by 12 so next year feels calm

    Because becoming intentional with your time also means becoming intentional with your money.

    Future you is cheering you on!

  • 293. Working Mom Mindset: Who’s Really in Control of Your Money? Breaking the Cycle of Unconscious Spending
    Feb 16 2026

    Hi Mamas,

    Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨

    This week, we’re continuing our mini money mindset series, and today’s episode is all about awareness — not restriction, guilt, or perfection.

    If you’ve ever felt like money stress sneaks up on you… If you’ve ever opened your bank app and thought, “How did that happen?” If you’ve ever added things to cart when you were tired, overwhelmed, or just done…

    You are not alone.

    In this episode, we break down the quote:

    “You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you.” — Dave Ramsey

    And we talk about what that really means for busy working moms juggling careers, kids, and everything in between.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why most overspending happens on autopilot
    • How awareness creates control… without cutting joy
    • Why money systems matter more than willpower
    • The difference between being restrictive and being intentional

    💡 This Week’s Challenge:

    Identify one area where you spend money without really thinking about it… just one.

    For me, it’s Amazon (which is why I challenged myself to a full month without spending there). For you, it might be eating out, Target runs, or impulse purchases online.

    Your job isn’t to fix everything. Your job is to notice.

    Because once you see it… change becomes possible.

  • 292. 15 Easy Ways I Cut Costs And Saved Money This Month
    Feb 10 2026
    Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! If money has felt tighter lately… and the idea of “budgeting” already makes you tired…you are not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing real, practical ways I’ve personally cut costs and saved money in this season of life… without extreme rules, guilt, or sacrificing the things that matter most. Between senior year expenses, college prep, travel plans, and everyday life, our family needed to get more intentional with spending. And in just one month, small changes added up to real savings. This episode is for busy working moms who want: ✔️ Less financial stress ✔️ More clarity around spending ✔️ Simple habits that actually stick ✔️ Permission to do money differently in this season In this episode, you’ll learn: How to spot and eliminate silent spenders draining your account • Why meal planning before shopping saves more than you think • How “shopping your house” reduces both clutter and spending • Why setting a short no-spend window builds awareness fast • How to automate savings… even if it’s a small amount • Where generic brands make sense (and where splurging does) • Easy ways to save on insurance, toiletries, kids’ activities, and experiences • The mindset shift that stops overspending without shame This isn’t about being perfect with money. It’s about becoming conscious instead of reactive. Most overspending isn’t reckless… it’s unconscious. And once you start noticing patterns instead of judging yourself, everything shifts. 💡 Links and Resources Mentioned: Budget Besties Simplified Budgeting System – grab their beautiful, clean budgeting system that will help you tell your money where to go instead of wondering where it went!🌟 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide — Your go-to for cutting grocery bills and dinner stress If this episode helped you, take a screenshot and share it with another mama who could use a little financial breathing room.

  • 291. Working Mom Mindset: How Tiny Habits Create Big Stress for Busy Moms
    Feb 9 2026

    Hi Mamas,

    Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or emotionally exhausted… but couldn’t point to one specific reason… this episode is for you.

    In this Monday Mindset episode, we’re unpacking a powerful truth inspired by a Benjamin Franklin quote:

    “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.”

    While this quote is often applied to money, it speaks just as loudly to time, energy, and mental load… especially for working moms.

    Because most overwhelm doesn’t come from one big mistake. It comes from dozens of tiny drains we barely notice.

    In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why small, habitual “leaks” create big stress over time • How convenience, obligation, and default decisions quietly drain you • Why awareness… not guilt… is the key to sustainable change • How to stop judging yourself and start noticing patterns • A simple mindset shift that creates immediate breathing room

    This episode is not about doing more or fixing everything at once. It’s about paying attention… without shame… and reclaiming your sense of control.

    💛 This week’s gentle challenge: This week, your challenge is to notice one small leak in your life… whether it’s related to time, money, energy, or emotional bandwidth. Write it down. Name it. And ask yourself if it’s still serving this season of your life.

    No fixing. No pressure. Just awareness.

    👉 Come share what small leak you noticed this week inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms… because your joy might just inspire another mom to find hers too.

    Feb 3 2026

    Hi mama,

    Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today!

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about what’s really happening in your brain and body when stress is high… and how to find clarity without forcing yourself to “get it together.”

    ✨ In this episode, we cover:

    • Why stress and anxiety make everything feel equally important
    • The difference between urgent and important (and why stress blurs the line)
    • Why calm has to come before clarity
    • Simple grounding questions to help you identify what truly matters today
    • How to separate real problems from mental noise
    • Using non-negotiables to anchor your decisions when life feels heavy
    • A powerful “zoom-out” test to regain perspective
    • Why what truly matters is often quiet… not loud or urgent

    🌿 This episode is for the mom who:

    • Feels overwhelmed and on edge
    • Struggles to prioritize when everything feels important
    • Wants to protect her energy and mental health
    • Needs permission to slow down and breathe

    You don’t need perfect clarity. You don’t need to solve everything today.

    You just need one steady truth to come back to… especially when life feels loud.

    Jan 26 2026
    Hi Mamas, 💛 💛 💛 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… Grab it today to help set those boundaries with your cell phones and create a little more peace in your days! 💛 💛 💛 It sounds simple… almost too simple for the moment we’re living in. But in today’s episode., we’re slowing things down and sitting with that truth — especially as working moms navigating a world that feels tense, divided, and heavy. This wasn’t the episode I had planned… but after recent events and the emotions many of us are carrying, staying silent didn’t feel right. So today, we’re talking about what love actually looks like in times like these… not as a feeling, but as a daily practice and a form of leadership. Because as moms, we are often the emotional anchors of our homes. And how we respond to the world… shapes how our children see it. In this episode, we explore: Why love is not naïve… it’s grounding and powerfulHow division strips away compassion, and how we reclaim itThe difference between reacting and responding with intentionWhat “loving your neighbor” looks like in everyday momentsHow our words and behaviors model empathy for our kidsWhy choosing kindness is an act of strength, not weakness We talk about how love doesn’t mean: Agreeing with everyoneIgnoring injusticePretending everything is fine Instead, real love looks like: Curiosity instead of assumptionListening instead of reactingHumanity before ideology And most importantly… love starts small. In our homes. In our conversations. In how our kids hear us talk about others. This Week’s Gentle Challenge 💛 Take a look around your community and ask yourself: Where is one place I can show more love this week? Not in a grand, overwhelming way — but in a simple, human one. And then… go do it. Because when we choose love in our small corner of the world, it ripples outward. If this episode resonated with you, please share it with another mom who may be feeling the weight of the world right now.
