Milk Money | The Podcast for Moms Building Businesses

motherhood is already a full-time job, but for a lot of us, it isn't the only thing we want to be.

Milk Money is where we talk about the part of motherhood that doesn't always make it into the polished Instagram posts: building a business while raising kids, wanting an identity outside of motherhood, navigating mom guilt, protecting your time and energy, and figuring out how to build a life that actually works for the woman living it.

Whether you call yourself a mompreneur, mom entrepreneur, working mom, business owner, founder, or just a mom who has a little voice saying there has to be more, we saved you a seat.

Meet Your Hostess

I'm Stephanie Lemes — mom, wife, business owner, creative, and the woman behind the mic. I started Milk Money because I was searching for the podcast I needed in this season of my life and couldn't find it.

There were plenty of business podcasts for women. Plenty of motherhood podcasts. But I wanted the conversations that lived in the messy middle — what happens when you're building a business, raising tiny humans, figuring out who you are, and trying not to lose yourself somewhere along the way.

So I decided to create the booth I couldn't find.

Milk Money is for the mom who loves being a mom and still wants something that's hers, is building a business between school drop-off, nap time and bedtime, has big dreams but limited time and energy, or simply wants honest conversations about motherhood and entrepreneurship instead of another highlight reel.

You don't need a six-figure business. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to know there's more to your story.

Every week, we're pulling up a chair for honest, unfiltered conversations about motherhood, ambition, business, identity, relationships, health, money, and all the messy bits in between. You'll hear from moms building businesses in all kinds of seasons and stages — and hopefully leave each episode feeling a little less alone.

Because sometimes the best thing another mom can give you isn't advice. It's proof that you're not the only one.

Welcome to the Diner.

Picture a retro roadside diner — checkered floors, coffee refills, chrome, cherry-red booths, jukeboxes, and a bell letting everyone know your order is up.

Why a diner? Because diners are open 24/7, just like motherhood.

There is no clocking out. No true off-shift. So at Milk Money, we're flipping the script: the women doing all the serving finally get to sit down.

Pull up a seat. Stay awhile. Pour it all out.

We'll talk about the wins, the doubts, the pivots, the guilt, the ambition, the chaos, and the dreams that didn't disappear when you became a mom. Expect guest conversations, solo episodes, listener questions, and eventually a phone line where you can call in, ask a question, vent, or just say the thing you haven't been able to say anywhere else.

Because this booth is yours, too.
