The Mother Load: Carrying the Mental & Financial Weight
Mother’s Day just passed, and while we loved the sweet cards and breakfast in bed (burnt toast and all), there’s something we don’t talk about enough—our relationship with money.
In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it’s really like to manage money as a mom. From the lessons we absorbed as kids to the juggling act we pull off every day—this one’s for the moms doing their best with what they’ve got (and making it stretch like magic).
I consider myself a bit of an expert on this topic because, well… I’m a mom. And every day I’m figuring out how to raise good humans, build a stable future, and not lose my mind while doing it.
Here’s what we cover:
The money mindset we inherited (and how we’re unlearning it)
The emotional side of finances and mom guilt
Real talk about budgeting, sacrifice, and celebrating small wins
Simple ways to talk to our kids about money (without the awkwardness)
Why showing up and being real is more valuable than anything money can buy
And stick around for an encouraging message at the end—because you deserve it.
Quote to Remember:“Our kids aren’t watching how much we spend—they’re watching how we handle things. That’s the real legacy.”
