The Money Hungry Mama

In this deeply honest episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, I sit down with women’s mental health therapist Shannon Maraldo, founder of House of Grace Counseling, to talk about postpartum depression, mom burnout, grief, faith, and building a business in the middle of motherhood.We discuss what postpartum depression really feels like, why you are not your sadness, how to tolerate hard seasons one day at a time, and how to trust God’s plan when your own plan falls apart.Shannon shares her journey from teacher to stay-at-home mom to private practice owner — and the courage it takes to build something that lights you on fire.If you’re a mom feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly struggling, this episode will remind you: you are not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone.Connect with Shannon:Instagram: @houseofgracecounseling33Website: https://houseofgracecounseling.comConnect with MHM: 📘 The Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744Instagram: @themoneyhungrymamaJoin the Free Fb Community:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FVmxXpM3J/Join the Mompreneur Table: https://themoneyhungrymama.mykajabi.com/offers/2WWDS5xE/checkoutGrab the free “Find Your Perfect Hustle” guide here:https://themoneyhungrymama.myflodesk.com/findyourperfecthustleGrab the free “Mompreneur Marketing Makeover” guide here: https://themoneyhungrymama.myflodesk.com/mompreneurmarketingmakeover

January is loud. Everywhere you turn it’s new year, new goals, new habits, new routines, new bodies, new businesses—and for moms, that pressure can feel overwhelming instead of motivating.In this episode, Brittany challenges the idea that you need a “new you” to move forward. Because motherhood already changed you in ways no planner, vision board, or January reset ever could. You didn’t wake up to a blank slate—you woke up as someone who has been reshaped by responsibility, love, exhaustion, and showing up even when it’s hard.We talk about why real growth doesn’t look flashy or Instagram-worthy, why consistency beats motivation every time, and how quiet, steady action is what actually builds confidence, businesses, and momentum. If you’re tired of restarting every January, changing directions too fast, or feeling like you’re behind, this episode is your permission slip to stop reinventing and start trusting the woman you already are.You’ll hear why steadiness matters more than perfection, how small actions compound over time, and why staying—even when it’s boring or uncomfortable—is often the breakthrough you’re waiting for.This isn’t about becoming better.It’s about becoming steadier.If you’re a mom building something, dreaming of more, or simply trying to find yourself again in the middle of motherhood—this one’s for you.
