Does money feel like one more thing on your already overflowing plate?

Today, I’m joined by Shana and Vanessa — the dynamic duo behind Budget Besties — two best friends and master financial coaches who help women stop stressing about money and start feeling in control again.

These ladies are fun, real, and completely judgment-free. They break down budgeting in a way that actually fits your life, your dreams, and your family — no guilt, no spreadsheets required.

We’re talking about what it really means to be “bougie on a budget” — spending intentionally, saving for what matters, and creating a system that supports both peace and purpose in your financial life.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

✨ Why so many moms feel shame or stress when it comes to money (and how to change that mindset)

✨ How to create a budget that works automatically — no micromanaging required

✨ The difference between being cheap and being intentional

✨ How to set up a system that helps you spend smarter and still enjoy your life

Budgeting doesn’t have to feel heavy or restrictive — it can actually bring freedom. When you give your money a job, you gain peace of mind, more confidence, and space to focus on what really matters.
