🎉 Episode 100 of The Money Mom Podcast! 🎉
Today’s episode is extra special because we’re celebrating our 100th episode with a real-life Money Mom Club member story—one that so many moms are going to see themselves in.

I’m joined by Stephanie Griffin, a mom of two (including a teen boy + a college kid!) who moved from the East Coast to California and found herself overwhelmed by the cost of living, inflation, and the never-ending “feed everyone all day” cycle—especially after COVID hit.

In this conversation, Stephanie shares:

• How she went from burned out + stressed about food/groceries to feeling organized and confident again
• The mindset shift from “I never have enough” (even when the pantry is full) to a calmer, more abundant relationship with money
• Why grocery delivery (yes, even if it costs money!) became a time-freedom game changer
• How 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 conversations
• And 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.
