Putting Food on the Table: Coaching Clients Through Grocery Budgets | EP 234

from The Financial Coaches Podcast · host Maria Casillas and Cody Sizemore

Groceries are one of the most frustrating budget categories for many clients. Prices fluctuate. Needs change week to week. And when money is tight, many families end up paying bills first and figuring out food last. In this episode of The Financial Coaches Podcast, Cody and Maria talk about how financial coaches can help clients approach food spending differently — starting with the idea of “putting food on the table first.” Inside this episode, you’ll learn: • Why many families accidentally prioritize bills over food • The psychology behind grocery spending stress • Simple grocery budget formulas coaches can use with clients • Why separating grocery money into its own account can be powerful • Practical strategies for helping clients stay within their grocery budget • A creative “experiment night” idea that can stretch food dollars while engaging the whole family Because helping families put food on the table with confidence is one of the most practical ways financial coaches create real change. 🎧 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode Ready to grow your coaching practice with the right support and community? 🚨 Join The Financial Coaches Network Connect with other Financial Coaches inside our private Patreon community: 👉 www.patreon.com/NewMoneyHabitsFinancialCoaches 🔥 Launch or Level Up Your Coaching Practice Learn more about our signature course, Getting Started as a Financial Coach, from New Money Habits: 👉 www.newmoneyhabits.com/coaches/webinar/gsfc-registration ✅ Join Our Free Facebook Community Find support, encouragement, collaboration, and real conversations with aspiring and established coaches: 👉 www.facebook.com/groups/nmhcoaches ✅ Get Connected Inside Financial Coaches+ Whether you’re just getting started or already serving clients, you don’t have to do this alone.
