Money feels heavy for a lot of moms — and this episode is here to lighten that load.

I’m sitting down with Juliana, a family financial health coach who helps moms and families navigate debt, budgeting, and big life transitions without shame, fear, or rigid rules.

We talk about what living paycheck to paycheck really looks like today, why debt isn’t always the villain it’s made out to be, and how motherhood completely shifts the way we think about money. Juliana shares practical, realistic advice for getting started — even if you’re scared to look at your bank account or feel behind.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I should know this by now”
or
“Why does money feel so stressful?”

This conversation is for you.

Because you don’t need perfection — you need clarity, support, and a plan that fits your real life.

Stay money hungry, mama.

What if this season of your life isn’t the delay — but the beginning?

In today’s episode of Money Hungry Mama, I’m joined by Samantha Hernandez, owner of Mauve Shoppe and mom of three, for a real conversation about building a boutique business while raising a family.

We talk about starting from a dining room table, the behind-the-scenes work no one shows on Instagram, the moment a zoning issue forced her into her next level, and how opening a brick-and-mortar helped her reclaim her identity after motherhood.

This episode is for the mom who feels the pull to build something of her own — but wonders if she waited too long, started too late, or should be further along by now.

You’re not behind.
You’re not late.
You’re just getting started.

✨ Listen in if you’re craving permission, perspective, and a reminder that your dream still counts.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Sophia Shinal — executive leadership coach and founder of Girls Gone Mild Adventures — to talk about courage, community, and what it really looks like to build something meaningful from scratch.

• How to trust your gut and start before you feel ready
• Why she’s “not afraid of the no”
• What it takes to grow a business with kids
• The truth about social media burnout
• How to identify and quiet your inner saboteurs
• Building confidence after years in corporate life
• Creating community that actually feels good

This conversation is inspiring, grounded, and full of moments that make you say, “Oh my gosh, I needed that.”

Today’s episode will hit you straight in the gut—in the best possible way.

I’m sitting down with Jenn Eisenberg, CEO of Bold Arts, who built a thriving kids’ creative business that has lasted over a decade. But it wasn’t the success that stopped me in my tracks… it was the moment she almost walked away from all of it.

Jenn takes you inside the exact chapter every entrepreneur eventually hits:
the keep swimming or give up moment.
The moment where the pressure, the fear, the identity shift, the motherhood load, and the sheer weight of building something from nothing collide.

And then—she shares the decision that changed everything.

This conversation is a masterclass in grit, heart, and what happens when a woman finally decides to stop whispering about her dreams and start owning them.

If you’re in the thick of it… if you’re tired… if you’re questioning everything… this episode will remind you:
You’re not done.
You’re just in the middle of your breakthrough.

Listen for this line:
“If I’m not going to own it now, when will I? This is it.”

Share this episode with a mom who needs to hear that her dream still matters.

Today’s episode is the definition of start before you’re ready.

I’m sitting down with Miriam Edelstein, founder of Sounds of Harmony Studio, who went from sitting on her parents’ kitchen floor with no job, no insurance, and no plan… to building a thriving multi-location kids’ music and therapy business across New Jersey.

And here’s the plot twist:
She did it with zero startup money and without a physical studio.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

✨ Turning a single idea into a full-time business
✨ How pop-up classes grew faster than a traditional studio
✨ The unexpected revenue stream she never saw coming
✨ Why birthday parties became a major moneymaker
✨ The power of moms’ groups, Google reviews, and organic marketing
✨ Hiring your first team member and the “I’m actually doing this” moment
✨ Why every business has highs, lows, and the grit-filled middle
✨ How becoming a mom reshaped her ambition and direction
✨ What music therapy REALLY is — and why it’s in demand

If you’re a mom sitting on an idea, scared to start, or waiting for the “right time,” Miriam’s story is the sign you’ve been asking for.

You don’t need money to start. You need courage, consistency, and one small step forward.

Follow Miriam on Instagram (@soundsofharmonystudio) to support her business — it’s free and it matters more than you know.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Julia — the powerhouse who built two completely different businesses from scratch: SassClass, NYC’s iconic beginner-friendly women’s empowerment dance studio, and Little Local Magic, a rapidly growing New Jersey mom community redefining what connection, confidence, and motherhood can look like.

Julia quit her corporate job cold turkey with no plan… and ended up creating a safe space where thousands of women have rediscovered their confidence, feminine energy, and joy. Then, as a mom of two, she followed a new spark — building a local community that helps moms meet friends, find magic in the mundane, and discover incredible local experiences.

Inside this conversation, we cover:

✨ How SassClass became NYC’s go-to dance studio for beginners
✨ The surprising challenges (and beauty) of teaching women from scratch
✨ The mindset shift that transformed her business during the pandemic
✨ Why hiring + delegating was the turning point in scaling
✨ How Little Local Magic grew through storytelling, partnerships, and community
✨ The truth about running two purpose-driven businesses as a mom
✨ What “being a Money Hungry Mama” means to her

If you’re a mom building a business — or dreaming of starting one — this episode will inspire you, ground you, and remind you of the magic you bring to the table.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it.

Today’s conversation is the reminder every mom, creator, and woman with a dream needs to hear. When life forced Amy Norman — a bridal makeup artist and former true-crime producer — out of her corporate job, she could have panicked. Instead? She stepped into the biggest season of her life.

And here’s the truth:
You’re one brave decision away from your entire life looking different.

In this episode, Amy shares:
• What really happened the day she was laid off
• How she went FULL-TIME in her makeup artistry business without missing a beat
• Why saying yes (even to free opportunities) changed everything
• The confidence shift every mom goes through
• How collaboration beats competition every single time
• Why there’s more than enough room — and clients — for all of us
• The exact mindset that keeps her driven, determined, and unafraid to go after what she wants

This isn’t just a story about makeup.
It’s a story about starting over, betting on yourself, and choosing possibility over fear.

If you've been doubting your next step… listen to this. It will wake something up in you.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or secretly wondering if you’re “messing up” your kids… take a deep breath, mama. Today’s episode is a warm hug, a reality check, and a gentle reset all in one.

I’m sitting down with Anna Richardella, founder of Anchor Family Solutions, parent coach, behavior analyst, and mama of two little boys. Anna opens up about postpartum anxiety and rage, starting a business while juggling babies, how to understand your child’s behavior (instead of trying to control it), and why so many moms blame themselves for things that aren’t their fault.

We talk about:
✨ The difference between behavior understanding vs. behavior control
✨ Why mom guilt hits so hard — and how to soften it
✨ What “neuroaffirming support” actually looks like
✨ How to help your child feel seen, safe, and understood
✨ Why it’s never too late to get support
✨ The small shifts that create calmer homes and more confident kids

This conversation is real, raw, and deeply encouraging. If motherhood has felt heavy lately… this one’s for you.

What happens when a corporate marketer and a construction worker trade in the 9-to-5 grind for a dream—and a coffee grinder?

In this episode, I sit down with Beth, co-owner of The Coffee Zone NJ, to talk about what it really takes to start a business from the ground up while raising a family. Beth opens up about the late nights, the fear, the failures, and the freedom that come with betting on yourself.

We talk about:
✨ The truth about the “hard parts” of entrepreneurship no one warns you about
✨ Why consistency matters more than perfection
✨ How to balance motherhood, marriage, and running a business seven days a week
✨ The moment she realized success isn’t just about money—it’s about peace, possibility, and purpose

If you’ve ever dreamed of creating something that’s yours—something built from passion and persistence—this episode is your permission slip to start messy, stay consistent, and keep the faith that it’s all going to be worth it.

Because like Beth says, “It’s not as easy as you think, but it’ll be worth it.”
