    Jan 15 2026
    If 2025 felt like quiet survival mode—shedding old skin, releasing patterns, and outgrowing beliefs—this episode is your permission slip to move differently in 2026. In the first Moms Making Dough episode of the year, host Kendra Hewittbreaks down the energy shift from the “Year of the Snake” into the Year of the Fire Horse (officially beginning Feb 17), and what it means for your money mindset, finances, time, and momentum. This isn’t about manifesting without action—it’s about clarity. About noticing what got cleared in your life and using that path to build real financial confidence. If you’re a working mom, entrepreneur, or high-achiever who’s tired of hustle patterns, performance pressure, and survival-based decisions, this conversation will meet you right where you are. You’ll reflect on the money stories you’re ready to release, where you need to drop the reins (control), and how to step into unbridled momentum—with courage, support, and space to expand. Think: less forcing, more flow… but grounded in truth, strategy, and what actually matters. What You’ll Learn / Highlights The mindset shift from shedding (2025) to momentum (2026) 3 reflection questions to identify what you outgrew and what to release How to spot old money stories and survival-based financial decisions Why hustle patterns keep moms stuck (and how to let them go) The “drop the reins” metaphor: control vs. trust in your finances The powerful framework: Called Out vs. Called Up vs. Called In What to “call in” this year: support, creativity, community, space Learn more about Kendra Hewitt by visiting the following links: Website: https://kendrahewitt.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassbusinesscoaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kendra.hewitt/ Identifying Your Money Blueprint - Free Download: https://kendrahewitt.com/moneyblueprint Learn more about your ad choices.

    Nov 20 2025
    Are you doing all the “right” money things and still feeling anxious, guilty, or behind? In this episode of Moms Making Dough, we dive into healing your money story and finding real financial peace as a mom — not just chasing the buzzword “financial freedom.”3rd-generation attorney, mom, and mentor Meg shares how she turned generational money patterns, big financial decisions, and entrepreneurship into a grounded, more peaceful relationship with money. What You’ll Learn / Episode Highlights How Meg’s money story began with her grandfather’s law practice, wealth, and service — and what she actually kept (and rejected) from that model The difference between financial freedom vs. financial peace (and why peace starts with non-reactivity, not a number in your bank account) How to see money as energy and flow, instead of a verdict on your worth as a woman, mom, or entrepreneur The “baby steps” mindset that helped Meg and her husband move into their dream home when the numbers on paper said “no way” Why most women over-give and under-receive — and how to practice receiving (from friends, clients, and money itself) without guilt The real talk about being a mom, business owner, and leader: boundaries, burnout, and knowing when not to look at your bank accounts How to question the “rules” of money, roles in partnership, and business so you can design your life instead of living by default Learn more about Kendra Hewitt by visiting the following links: Website: https://kendrahewitt.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassbusinesscoaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kendra.hewitt/ Identifying Your Money Blueprint - Free Download: https://kendrahewitt.com/moneyblueprint Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Lie You’ve Been Told About Being “Bad with Money”

    The Lie You’ve Been Told About Being “Bad with Money”
    Nov 14 2025
    Feeling stuck in survival mode with your money, no matter how hard you work? In this episode we dive into money mindset for moms and how to move from scarcity and hustle to freedom and financial peace. Join host Kendra Hewitt and retired financial advisor Maggie Daugherty as they sit “around the campfire” to unpack real money stories, not curated influencer feeds—so you can make, manage, and multiply your money with confidence. What You’ll Learn / Highlights How growing up as 1 of 8 kids, wearing hand-me-downs and eating last at dinner, shaped Maggie’s early money story. The moment she realized she never wanted a boss again—and how she built a commission-based career that paid her even on vacation. The simple investing approach she used to help teachers build multi–six figure retirement accounts starting with just $50 per paycheck. The “latte factor” and now the “app factor”—and how tiny daily decisions quietly steal your wealth. A practical money audit exercise you can do on your phone to finally see where your cash is really going. How a devastating car accident, chronic pain, and pain meds almost derailed everything—and the mindset work that brought her back. The scariest move she made in business (hiring her first assistant) and why it became the key to scaling her impact and income. What it actually looks like to sell your business, retire, and live in financial peace while still serving others in a new way. Maggie’s final message to women who don’t feel “financially savvy” and doubt their value.
