E17 - The Under-Discussed Financial Struggles of Motherhood
Hey Mamas! In today’s episode, we’re talking about the *under-discussed* *FINANCIAL STRUGGLES of motherhood. *
Motherhood is *beautiful*, and *challenging*, and *EXPENSIVE*. It comes at a high cost...depending on your situation, it can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and without a doubt, *financially *demanding.
And in addition to the obvious *expenses*…..society tends to overlook so many *other* factors that can negatively affect our finances after becoming a mom - and in turn, can negatively affect our relationships, our self-confidence, our sense of identity and self-worth, our feeling of independence, and SO much more.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home-mom, a working mom, a mom trying to balance solo or co-parenting, a person or family struggling with infertility treatments, or just some *OTHER* version of superwoman….I *PROMISE* there is something in this episode for you.
Today, I’ll be sharing my conversation with Eileen Joy - she’s a money coach behind the successful online business ‘Moms Who Money’. Eileen truly walks the walk and talks the talk….we’re going to chat about how *her* *experience* hitting a personal and financial rock bottom as a single mom, led to her 'getting her shit together’, and learning *EVERYTHING* she possibly could about money.
Eileen now coaches overwhelmed moms on how to *talk about* and *manage* their money….no shame, no guilt, no embarrassment. She’s here today to break down the *most common financial struggles of motherhood*, and to share some simple* steps* we can take, and systems we can all implement to lighten our financial troubles!
