    105: You Make Good Money… So Why Are You Still Stressed?

    You’d think making six figures would finally make you feel secure with money… but what if it doesn’t? In this episode, I’m breaking down why more income isn’t actually the solution to feeling stressed, anxious, or “bad” with money... and why so many women are still struggling, even at higher income levels. I’m sharing the “leaky bucket” analogy to help you see exactly where your money is slipping away (and why it keeps happening on autopilot). We’ll talk about the real reasons behind overspending, lifestyle creep, and emotional spending, and how your nervous system, beliefs, and identity are quietly running the show behind the scenes. Because the truth is: no amount of money will fix a broken relationship with it. If you’ve ever wondered why your numbers look fine… but it still doesn’t feel good, this episode will connect the dots and show you where to start. ✨ Inside this episode:  Why more money doesn’t equal more security  The 5 “holes” draining your finances (without you realizing it)  How your nervous system and identity shape your money habits  What actually needs to shift to feel calm, confident, and in control This is deeper than budgeting. This is about finally feeling safe with your money. xoxo, Rachel Where to find me: Instagram: @heyrachelcoons Join me for my free training to cut your grocery bill by $600 every month: Register HERE

    Today’s episode is a personal update you’ve been asking for. A few months ago, I shared my experience starting a GLP-1—and since then, my DMs have been full of questions about what’s changed, what I’m still doing, and how I’m feeling now. In this episode, I’m giving you an honest, real-life update on my peptide journey, where I’m at today, why I chose to continue, and the biggest differences I’ve experienced over time. We talk about: Why I’m still microdosing tirzepatideThe unexpected benefits beyond weight lossThe additional peptides I’ve added (and why)What I’ve learned about energy, sleep, and muscle growthCommon side effects (like hair loss) and what might actually be causing themWhy this isn’t a “magic fix” and what still matters mostThis is not medical advice... just my personal experience and what’s been working for me. If you’ve been curious about GLP-1s, peptides, or just wanted a real update from my journey, this episode is for you. And if you still have questions, send me a message on Instagram.

    In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m sitting down with Jenna for a real, unfiltered coaching conversation about the money struggles so many women face but don’t always talk about out loud. We talk about how to budget without feeling restricted, what to do when unexpected expenses hit, and why money stress is often about so much more than the numbers. This conversation gets into the real emotions behind spending, debt payoff, fear, freedom, family, and learning how to trust yourself with money. If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do with your money but still struggle to actually feel calm and confident doing it, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Stephanie shares: How she went from burned out + stressed about food/groceries to feeling organized and confident againThe mindset shift from “I never have enough” (even when the pantry is full) to a calmer, more abundant relationship with moneyWhy grocery delivery (yes, even if it costs money!) became a time-freedom game changerHow Shop the Shelf challenges helped her actually use what she already had and waste less (“cash in the trash” 😅)The ripple effect this had on her family—more teamwork, less stress, and better money conversationsAnd how her language with her kids changed from “we can’t afford that” to “we’re choosing to spend differently right now” (😭 so good)If you’ve been wondering if change is possible for you—especially if you’re already “good with budgeting” but still feel that underlying money stress—this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to overhaul everything overnight. You just need a starting point… and a simple system that actually works in real mom life. 💛 Want to ask a question or connect?
