  • 206. Mindset Reset: Money Freedom Start With Better Choices Not A Bigger Paycheck
    Apr 21 2025

    Hi Mamas,

    Summer is coming, and with it… vacations, ice cream stops, amusement parks, and... all the extra expenses. But here's a secret: you don't have to earn more to enjoy more. You just have to get a little more intentional with what you already have.

    In today’s Monday Mindset episode, I’m diving into a powerful reminder from Rachel Cruze:

    “You don’t have to make more money. You just have to make better choices with the money you already have.”

    You’ll hear a personal story from our spring break trip, why making better choices changed everything for our family (even back when I was couponing every grocery trip!), and how small decisions today can create massive freedom tomorrow.

    In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why freedom starts with tiny, unsexy decisions ✨ A simple mindset shift that makes saving feel empowering, not restrictive ✨ Five easy money moves you can make this week to create breathing room for summer

    💖 This week’s challenge:

    Choose one intentional money move from today’s list… whether it’s canceling an unused subscription, meal planning your dinners, or setting up a summer savings account… and share it with us in the Work-Life Balance For Working Moms Or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life. I’d love to cheer you on!

    Ready to create more freedom, more joy, and way less financial stress this summer? Let’s get intentional… and let's get started! 🎉

    Hi Mamas,

    The waitlist is now OPEN!!! Don’t miss out on a special discount for signing up today!

    Join here... Mornings Made Simple Waitlist! 😊☀️

    Spring isn’t just for scrubbing baseboards and decluttering closets—it’s a chance to reset, refocus, and realign with the version of yourself you’re becoming. 🌿 In this episode, I’m recording from my brand-new creative space (with a window view that’s giving all the spring vibes), and I’m inviting you to embrace a fresh start—inside and out.

    We’re diving into a powerful quote: “Out with the old, in with the intentional.”

    This short but deep reminder is your permission slip to release what’s no longer serving you—physically, mentally, emotionally—and replace it with intentional habits that support the life you're building.

    You’ll walk away with: ✅ A mindset shift that makes spring cleaning more meaningful ✅ A simple, doable challenge to declutter one thing this week ✅ Real-life examples to help you start small and stay consistent ✅ Encouragement to trade chaos for calm—one drawer, one decision at a time

    Let’s turn down the noise, clear the mental clutter, and create space for more of what matters.

    💖 This week’s challenge:

    Pick one small thing to let go of—physical, digital, emotional, or mental. Then replace it with one intentional habit, action, or boundary.

    Come share what you're releasing and inviting in over in our free Facebook group: Work-Life Balance For Working Moms💛

    Or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life—I’d love to cheer you on!

    Apr 1 2025

    Hi Mamas,

    Ready to stop feeling like every month is a blur? In today’s episode, we’re getting into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for intentional living: the monthly review.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    ✨ Why monthly reviews are your secret weapon for time management and peace of mind

    📒 The 5 questions to ask yourself at the end of every month

    🔄 How to recognize what routines and goals are actually working for you

    💬 The emotional reset question that sets the tone for a better month ahead

    🙌 Why celebrating small wins (even surviving a tough week) really matters

  • 200. My Real Talk on Mindset, Consistency and Showing Up, Even When It's Hard
    Mar 31 2025

    Hi Mamas,

    The Mornings Made Simple Workshop Waitlist is now OPEN!!! Get your name on there and get a $20 discount! Join here... Mornings Made Simple Waitlist! 😊☀️

    🎉 TWO. HUNDRED. EPISODES. Can you even believe it?! Whether you’ve been here from the very first episode or this is your first time pressing play, I just want to say: THANK YOU. This episode is straight from the heart—and a little longer than our usual Monday mindset shorties—but it’s a milestone moment, and I’m inviting you behind the scenes of how we got here.

    In today’s raw and real episode, I’m sharing the unfiltered truth of what it took to show up for 200 episodes in less than 2 years (yes, I said two episodes a week while juggling mom life, a 9–5, marriage, and building a business). Spoiler alert: It wasn’t magic. It was mindset, consistency, and faith… with a side of early mornings and lots of grace.

    I’ll walk you through:

    • How I kept going when no one was listening yet
    • What helped me stay consistent through the chaos
    • The power of routines (especially my morning one!)
    • The role faith, marriage, and YOU… my listeners… played in this journey
    • Why I believe success is possible for you, too

    Let’s celebrate this milestone together and remind ourselves what’s possible when we choose belief over doubt, and consistency over perfection. This one’s for every working mom out there building something big, one small step at a time!

    Let’s keep this conversation going! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms!
