80. How Moms Can Build a Healthy, Guilt-Free Relationship with Money with Lindsey Konchar
27 May 2025
00:41:48
Does money make you anxious? Do you feel stuck in guilt, avoidance, or overwhelm every time you try to budget or think about the future? In this episode, we're rewriting the money story many moms have carried for far too long — and replacing it with confidence, clarity, and freedom.
I’m joined by Lindsey, a financial therapist who combines behavioral therapy with practical money education to help women feel excited — yes, excited! — about their finances. Lindsey believes money isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the stories we carry, the habits we’ve formed, and the opportunities we can create.
Together, we explore:
✅ Understand your money story and where to begin. Learn how to recognize patterns of anxiety or avoidance around money — and take the first small, manageable steps toward a healthier mindset.
✅ Practice realistic financial self-care in motherhood. Discover what it actually looks like to care for your financial well-being when time, energy, and focus are limited — including how to set simple, values-based goals.
✅ Spend with intention, not guilt. Shift from impulse or emotionally-driven spending to more mindful, aligned choices that support the life and motherhood you want — even when money feels tight.
✅ Empower your family through better money conversations. Get tips for talking about money with your partner (without fighting!) and learn how to start teaching your kids healthy money habits in everyday moments.
Whether you’re working through money stress, trying to set goals, or just want to feel more in control, this episode will meet you with grace and give you tools to move forward — one step at a time.
🎧 Tune in and learn how to create a money story that actually supports the life and motherhood you want.
