The Heyrachelcoons Podcast

If you've tried budgeting apps, spreadsheets, or cutting expenses but still feel like you're drowning financially... this episode is for you.In today's video, I'm breaking down why most moms don't actually have money problems—they're stuck in survival mode, battling subconscious beliefs, emotional burnout, and chaotic habits that make it feel impossible to move forward.We'll cover: ✅ The 3 hidden reasons you're stuck in a financial loop ✅ Why logic and numbers alone won't fix your money stress ✅ How to shift out of chaos mode and into calm, confident action ✅ And how to finally build momentum—even if you've failed in the pastThis isn't about shame. It's about healing your relationship with money and creating a system that works for real moms with real lives.

Nearly half of Americans are trapped in credit card debt, but chances are it's not because they're lazy, irresponsible, or lacking knowledge. If you've downloaded every budgeting app, created detailed spreadsheets, and still can't seem to make progress, you're not alone. The real culprit might be what I call "chaos mode" – a state where your nervous system operates in constant financial survival.The path out of chaos mode begins with awareness, not action. Before jumping into yet another budgeting attempt, take time to notice your emotional responses to money and regulate your nervous system. Learn to build safety with money before implementing systems, focus on small wins over dramatic restriction, and surround yourself with supportive community.Ready to dig deeper? Join my free training in mid-May where we'll work on mindset, strategy, and creating the support system you need to transform your financial life. The link is in the show notes – because healing your relationship with money wasn't meant to be a solo journey. xoxo,RachelWhere to find me:Instagram: @heyrachelcoonsTikTok: @heyrachelcoonsJoin my FREE live training What kind of grocery shopper are you?

Ever feel like you're doing everything right with your family budget but still struggling financially? You might be caught in what I call "the saver's trap" – that frustrating cycle of constantly cutting expenses while overlooking the power of generating additional income.In this episode, I share why I've always been passionate about finding creative ways to make money on my own terms. As stay-at-home parents, we often think our financial contribution is limited to stretching the family budget through careful spending. While that's valuable, there's another side to the equation that can be transformative: bringing in extra money without sacrificing your primary role at home.This isn't about complex business models or working 40+ hours weekly – it's about spotting opportunities, leveraging your existing skills, and thinking differently about your capabilities. Whether it's selling items online, offering services based on your talents, or creating something people want, even an extra $300 monthly can dramatically change your financial situation. xoxo,RachelWhere to find me:Instagram: @heyrachelcoonsTikTok: @heyrachelcoonsJoin my FREE live training What kind of grocery shopper are you?

Do you ever wonder why you keep repeating the same financial patterns despite knowing better? That feeling of being stuck in a money rut isn't random – it's likely caused by subconscious money blocks secretly running the show behind the scenes.As we explore in this eye-opening episode, your subconscious mind controls a staggering 95% of your decisions and behaviors around money. These deep-seated beliefs were largely programmed during childhood or even inherited through generations, creating an invisible framework that determines how you interact with money today. The truth is, no matter how much conscious knowledge you have about budgeting or investing, if your subconscious is working against you, you'll keep hitting the same financial walls.Ready to break free from your money blocks and create the financial life you deserve? This episode gives you the tools to start that transformation now. xoxo,RachelWhere to find me:Instagram: @heyrachelcoonsTikTok: @heyrachelcoonsJoin my FREE live training What kind of grocery shopper are you?

The recent market volatility has many investors feeling anxious as major indices have dropped by 14%. But what if I told you that market downturns actually create some of the best wealth-building opportunities?When markets tumble, our emotions tempt us to make destructive financial moves. Panic selling locks in losses. Trying to time market bottoms proves futile even for experts. Halting investments means missing chances to buy assets at discount prices. These emotional reactions undermine wealth creation far more than market fluctuations themselves.Remember that market volatility is not just normal – it's necessary for creating the long-term returns that build wealth. By focusing on what you can control and maintaining perspective, you can transform these uncertain periods from times of anxiety into opportunities for financial growth.  xoxo,RachelWhere to find me:Instagram: @heyrachelcoonsTikTok: @heyrachelcoonsJoin my FREE live training What kind of grocery shopper are you?
