Moms Makin’ Dough

Are you doing all the “right” money things and still feeling anxious, guilty, or behind? In this episode of Moms Makin’ Dough, we dive into healing your money story and finding real financial peace as a mom, not just chasing the buzzword “financial freedom.” 3rd-generation attorney, mom, and mentor Meg shares how she turned generational money patterns, big financial decisions, and entrepreneurship into a grounded, more peaceful relationship with money.

What You’ll Learn:

→ How Meg’s money story began with her grandfather’s law practice, wealth, and service, and what she actually kept (and rejected) from that model

→ The difference between financial freedom vs. financial peace (and why peace starts with non-reactivity, not a number in your bank account)

→ How to see money as energy and flow, instead of a verdict on your worth as a woman, mom, or entrepreneur

→ The “baby steps” mindset that helped Meg and her husband move into their dream home when the numbers on paper said “no way”

→ Why most women over-give and under-receive, and how to practice receiving (from friends, clients, and money itself) without guilt

→ The real talk about being a mom, business owner, and leader: boundaries, burnout, and knowing when not to look at your bank accounts

→ How to question the “rules” of money, roles in partnership, and business so you can design your life instead of living by default

Feeling stuck in survival mode with your money, no matter how hard you work? In this episode we dive into the money mindset for moms and how to move from scarcity and hustle to freedom and financial peace.

Join host Kendra Hewitt and retired financial advisor Maggie Daugherty as they sit “around the campfire” to unpack real money stories, not curated influencer feeds, so you can make, manage, and multiply your money with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

→ How growing up as 1 of 8 kids, wearing hand-me-downs and eating last at dinner, shaped Maggie’s early money story.

→ The moment she realized she never wanted a boss again, and how she built a commission-based career that paid her even on vacation.

→ The simple investing approach she used to help teachers build multi–six figure retirement accounts starting with just $50 per paycheck.

→ The “latte factor” and now the “app factor”, and how tiny daily decisions quietly steal your wealth.

→ A practical money audit exercise you can do on your phone to finally see where your cash is really going.

→ How a devastating car accident, chronic pain, and pain meds almost derailed everything, and the mindset work that brought her back.

→ The scariest move she made in business (hiring her first assistant) and why it became the key to scaling her impact and income.

→ What it actually looks like to sell your business, retire, and live in financial peace while still serving others in a new way.

→ Maggie’s final message to women who don’t feel “financially savvy” and doubt their value.

Ever feel that knot-in-your-stomach money stress, random bills, missed details, and a calendar that won’t slow down? In this episode, we tackle the real question: how do you move from anxious and scattered to calm, clear, and in charge of your finances… even in a high-spending season?

Host Kendra Hewitt gets real about a week packed with school routines, tax deadlines, and surprise expenses (hi, rogue squirrel 🙃). Instead of spiraling, she walks you through the mindset and simple systems she used to shift from scarcity to strategy. Using the powerful picture of a lioness, focused, patient, and purposeful, you’ll learn how to pause the panic, sort the noise, and take your next best step with courage.

You’ll hear a vulnerable story from 2018, a season of pivots and fear, and how that Animal Kingdom safari became a lifelong metaphor: the lioness hunts with intention. No frantic moves. Just steady, strategic action to provide for her pride. From there, we break down a practical, repeatable plan you can run every week, so your money life starts matching your values.

5 Takeaways

Separate facts from feelings so you can make decisions you trust.

Create simple organizing systems (think labeled bins + “touch it once” for receipts).

Use theme months (Insurance Month, Estate Planning Month, Taxes Month) to focus your energy.

“A lioness doesn’t panic, she plans her next move.”
