You can make a budget and stick to it!

Sarah is in the trenches with you if you are trying to figure out budgeting and better spending habits for your family. Listening to her you really start to feel like you won’t get bogged down! She gives you clear steps to help you get a handle on spending. Her grocery saving tips alone are gold! Cutting out stuff that are “nice to haves” not “need” to haves are key! Can’t wait for more episodes!

Motivated to be Financially Free

The podcast I wish I had when I was starting my family!

Sarah does a fabulous job breaking down tips and strategies to help you achieve your families financial dreams. She even makes “budgeting” seem almost fun! 🤩 I wish I had this podcast to listen to when I was a new mom trying to raise 3 boys on a tight budget! That being said, as an empty nester I’m planning on using some of the tips Sarah shares inside the podcast.
