What you can actually control in your everyday budget 💪


This one’s personal.

I was recently a guest on the Inspector Mama® Podcast and we got real about budgeting for mamas—especially the parts no one talks about.

🎧 LISTEN HERE

What we dive into:

The everyday budget you can control, like letting go of that pressure to “do it all.”

• How my mindset shift—“budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about intention”—changed how I approach money in real life.

• Real talk on mom guilt: why prioritizing your financial peace isn’t selfish, it’s survival.

🎧 LISTEN NOW

Major nuggets 💡

• You don’t need a perfect income to start—focus on what you can tweak right now.

• I share exact moments I hit a wall—like after my second baby—and how I got off the paycheck-to-paycheck treadmill.

• We peel back the shame around budgeting—it’s not about spreadsheets, it’s about feeling grounded.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What’s the right budget for my life?” or “How do I stop feeling guilty about money?”—this episode was made for you.

🎧 Tune in now and let me know what hits home.
