In this episode of Mommas Making Commas, I sit down with Lindsey Korell — an operations strategist and former COO — for a conversation every woman building income needs to hear.

Lindsey’s story is powerful and sobering.

After experiencing a heart attack, Lindsey was forced to step away from her business completely. And in that moment, she realized something terrifying but all too common:
👉 when she wasn’t working, her business wasn’t making money.
Instead, debt was piling up and everything depended on her being “on.”

That wake-up call changed everything.

In this episode, we talk honestly about:

• Why so many women unknowingly build businesses that rely entirely on their presence

• How control can feel like safety — but actually becomes the biggest risk

• Why income tied to your constant effort isn’t sustainable long term

• What it really means to build a business that can support retirement, selling, or stepping back

• Why documenting and sharing standard operating procedures (SOPs) isn’t corporate fluff — it’s freedom

One of the biggest takeaways?
If your business can’t run without you, you don’t own a business — you own a very demanding job.

Lindsey shares how systems, structure, and clear decision paths don’t remove your power — they protect your health, your family, and your future.

This conversation is especially for women who:

• Want income but not at the cost of their health

• Feel like everything depends on them

• Dream of stepping back someday — without everything falling apart

• Know deep down that “doing it all” isn’t the answer anymore

What if being “rich” had nothing to do with making more money and everything to do with how you use what you already have?

In this episode of Mommas Making Commas, we’re having an honest, grounding conversation about financial literacy for women who want peace, clarity, and confidence with their money—whether or not they want to earn more income.

This episode is for the momma who:

• Feels overwhelmed by money decisions

• Wants financial goals without burnout

• Is tired of the “just make more money” narrative

• Desires freedom, security, and options for her family

• Rich vs. Financially Independent
What it really means to be “rich” (having enough right now) versus being financially independent (money working for you long-term).

• What If You Don’t Want to Make More Money?
Why financial goals aren’t about income and how clarity, intention, and simple systems create peace.

• Debt Repayment That Actually Works
A simple breakdown of snowball vs. avalanche strategies and why the best plan is the one you’ll stick to.

• Shifting the Money Mindset
How to move from “I need more” to “I’m using what I have wisely” without shame or restriction.

• Building Toward Financial Independence - Gently
How small, consistent choices today create future freedom without sacrificing your present life.

• You can feel rich today while building financial independence tomorrow

• Awareness is power, not punishment

• Progress matters more than perfection

• Financial peace doesn’t require hustle, it requires intention

💛 In This Episode, We Cover:🌱 Key Takeaways:

f you’ve been thinking about starting something—
A business.
A health routine.
A financial reset.
A hard conversation.

Let me ask you this: why aren’t you doing it yet?

Because thinking feels productive… but action is what actually changes your life.

In this episode i share an example of how my daughters and I overcame this thinking to action when launching a business together and how you can apply the same methods and approach to any area of your life!

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the real reason so many women struggle with predictable income, and it has nothing to do with talent, time, or even opportunity.

It’s because we’re constantly chasing hype instead of building habits.

We cover:
✨ Why bouncing between projects, companies, and strategies destroys momentum
✨ What “shiny object syndrome” looks like in real life (and why it feels productive but isn’t)
✨ The quiet ways hype-chasing creates burnout and income rollercoasters
✨ Six red flags that signal you're sabotaging your own consistency
✨ The mindset shift from excitement-driven to execution-driven
✨ What successful, consistent earners do differently
✨ Practical steps to choose a lane, stay rooted, and build trust
✨ How to create systems that work even when you’re tired, bored, or busy

You’ll walk away with the clarity to:
✔️ Recognize when you’re distracting yourself with noise
✔️ Anchor your business in daily rhythm vs emotional adrenaline
✔️ Choose direction over dopamine
✔️ Build the boring foundations that lead to beautiful results

Spoiler:
Consistency isn’t flashy.
It’s not trendy.
But it is the secret to building income that follows you month after month, instead of forcing you to start over every time hype wears off.

Tune in, take notes, and get ready to swap chaos for clarity.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why burnout isn’t caused by doing too much, but by doing the wrong things

• Common time wasters that drain energy without moving the needle

• How to evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of your time

• What a simple time audit looks like (and why it’s so powerful)

• The difference between a day you own vs. a day that owns you

• Why how you start your day matters more than how busy it is

• The role of gratitude, mindset, and intention in daily momentum

• Identifying your daily non-negotiables for health, wealth, and peace

• Why carving out time for you is not selfish, it’s essential

Kate shares how to:

• Pair habits you already do with habits that move you forward

• Build health and income routines into real life (school runs, coffee breaks, evenings)

• Keep systems simple enough to sustain, even on hard days

Because success isn’t about intensity.
It’s about consistency that compounds.

Ask yourself:

• What time do I wake up and does it support the life I want?

• Do I practice gratitude or intention daily, even briefly?

• What are my top 3 non-negotiables each day?

• Where is my time leaking without real return?

• What one habit could I stack this week to support my health or wealth?

Small shifts create big momentum.

• Health and wealth without hustle

• Owning your time instead of reacting to it

• Simple habits that support long-term success

• Building a life that feels calm, aligned, and intentional

Season 3 of Mommas Making Commas is officially here and the word guiding us into 2026 is Rooted 🌱

In this kickoff episode, Kate shares the heart behind launching Season 3 now, reflects on her own journey of building a business in the margins of motherhood, and invites you into a simpler, more sustainable way of pursuing your health, wealth, and life goals without burnout.

From breastfeeding babies and sending messages on coffee breaks to creating reliable, repeat income and leaving a full-time job, this episode is about what actually works when life is full and time is limited.

If you’re tired of starting over every January, chasing motivation, or feeling like success always comes at a cost, this season is for you.

• What it means to get rooted in purpose, systems, and identity

• How Kate built a business in the margins of motherhood

• Why consistency beats intensity every time

• The power of focusing on 2–3 priorities over the next 12 weeks

• Sustainable health goals without crash dieting or gimmicks

• Why strength training matters in every decade of life

• Building income without being glued to your phone

• Leaving a “good” job to protect health, peace, and family

• Creating clear financial goals (even when it feels uncomfortable)

• Navigating money and relationships as a team

• Designing a life that supports who you’re becoming, not who you’re trying to impress

As you listen, ask yourself:

• What did I survive, build, or learn in 2025 that I haven’t acknowledged yet?

• What no longer serves the woman I’m becoming?

• Who do I want to be 12 weeks from now?

• What small, consistent actions can I commit to in the areas that matter most?

You don’t need a massive overhaul.
You need a rhythm you can sustain.
