Feeling stuck in debt—like no matter what you do, you just can’t get ahead?

In today’s episode of the Money Mom Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason you're still in debt (and it’s probably not what you think). This isn’t just about credit cards or car payments—it’s about emotional spending, inherited money beliefs, and those deep-rooted habits that quietly keep you stuck.

I’ll walk you through:

• The emotional triggers that drive overspending (hello, stress shopping 👋)
• Why “I’m just not good with money” is a belief that’s keeping you broke
• The types of debt that are silently draining your future
• How to shift your money mindset and actually start getting unstuck

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your finances, this episode is here to remind you: it’s not too late to change. You can break the cycle, ditch the shame, and take back control of your money—for good.

In this powerful episode of The Money Mom Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend and mindset expert, Dr. Stephanie Lopez—former NASA executive coach turned anxiety and emotional wellness mentor—to talk all things emotional regulation, motherhood, and money stress.

Steph shares her unexpected journey from leading leadership trainings at NASA to helping women dismantle anxiety, heal emotional wounds, and feel safe in their own lives again. We dive deep into how anxiety really shows up (spoiler: it’s not always what you think), how to decode your emotions using the "emotion wheel," and why nervous system regulation is the secret to transforming your money story.

We also talk about:

• The difference between stress and anxiety (and why it matters)
• How emotional spending and avoidance create money chaos
• Practical tools to regulate your emotions before facing financial decisions
• What your body is trying to tell you when it’s in fight-or-flight
• How to get off the hamster wheel of shame, panic, and self-judgment

This is an episode every overwhelmed mama needs. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “fine” on the outside but unraveling on the inside—this one’s for you.

Summer is here—and if the thought of feeding your kids all day long (plus hosting guests) makes your grocery budget want to scream... you are NOT alone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why grocery costs tend to skyrocket in the summer, what you can do about it, and how to create structure that saves you money and your sanity—without becoming the food police.

We’ll chat:

• Why snack attacks are blowing your budget (and what to do instead)
• Easy ingredient-based snack swaps that actually fill kids up
• The #1 habit that will help you stop the all-day pantry grazing
• My favorite budget-friendly hosting hacks for barbecues, out-of-town guests, and big summer dinners
• And why a little structure (and a lot of intention) can help you enjoy the season without overspending

Summer doesn’t have to mean financial chaos. You can feed your people, stay on budget, and still soak up these sweet days with your kids. 💛
