206. Mindset Reset: Money Freedom Start With Better Choices Not A Bigger Paycheck
Hi Mamas,
Summer is coming, and with it… vacations, ice cream stops, amusement parks, and... all the extra expenses. But here's a secret: you don't have to earn more to enjoy more. You just have to get a little more intentional with what you already have.
In today’s Monday Mindset episode, I’m diving into a powerful reminder from Rachel Cruze:
“You don’t have to make more money. You just have to make better choices with the money you already have.”
You’ll hear a personal story from our spring break trip, why making better choices changed everything for our family (even back when I was couponing every grocery trip!), and how small decisions today can create massive freedom tomorrow.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why freedom starts with tiny, unsexy decisions
✨ A simple mindset shift that makes saving feel empowering, not restrictive
✨ Five easy money moves you can make this week to create breathing room for summer
💖 This week’s challenge:
Choose one intentional money move from today’s list… whether it’s canceling an unused subscription, meal planning your dinners, or setting up a summer savings account… and share it with us in the Work-Life Balance For Working Moms Or DM me on Instagram @mom.wife.career.life. I’d love to cheer you on!
Ready to create more freedom, more joy, and way less financial stress this summer?

Spring isn’t just for scrubbing baseboards and decluttering closets—it’s a chance to reset, refocus, and realign with the version of yourself you’re becoming. 🌿 In this episode, I’m recording from my brand-new creative space (with a window view that’s giving all the spring vibes), and I’m inviting you to embrace a fresh start—inside and out.
We’re diving into a powerful quote:
“Out with the old, in with the intentional.”

✅ A mindset shift that makes spring cleaning more meaningful
✅ A simple, doable challenge to declutter one thing this week
✅ Real-life examples to help you start small and stay consistent
✅ Encouragement to trade chaos for calm—one drawer, one decision at a time
Let’s turn down the noise, clear the mental clutter, and create space for more of what matters.
💖 This week’s challenge:
Pick one small thing to let go of—physical, digital, emotional, or mental.
Then replace it with one intentional habit, action, or boundary.
Come share what you're releasing and inviting in over in our free Facebook group: Work-Life Balance For Working Moms💛

"Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

In this Monday Mindset episode of Mom Wife Career Life, Kerri Patt is unpacking one of her all-time favorite quotes—and what it means for working moms who are tired of constantly dropping everything to clean up someone else’s chaos. Whether it’s a last-minute work task or your kid forgetting a school costume until the morning of, we’ve all been there. But here’s the truth: being helpful doesn’t mean being a human fire extinguisher. 🔥
This episode is a powerful reminder that boundaries and ownership go hand in hand. You’ll learn how to lovingly protect your time and reflect on the times we’ve accidentally created chaos for others. It’s real, relatable, and exactly the kind of mindset shift we need to start the week strong.

Why saying “no” is actually saying yes to your peace
How to stop absorbing other people’s last-minute chaos
A loving check-in for when we might be the ones causing the fire drill
How to teach your kids (and coworkers!) the power of responsibility

✨ Pause & Protect
✨ Pause & Plan
This episode will leave you feeling empowered to honor your time, strengthen your boundaries, and walk into your week with more clarity and calm.
💖 My challenge for you this week mamas:
✨ Pause & Protect: Practice the pause before jumping into someone else’s chaos—ask yourself if it’s truly yours to fix.
