The Money Hungry Mama

Every wellness voice in the mompreneur space will tell you to practice self-care. Take a bath. Put your phone away. Tune out.Jyoti calls it something completely different. And once you hear it, you cannot un-hear it."I don't call it self-care. I call it presence with yourself. It's not about tuning out. It's about tuning in — to what you actually need, not the noise of what everybody else needs."Jyoti is the founder of The Beauty Way — a clean, non-toxic body care line paired with daily mantras designed for busy mamas who cannot commit to 30-minute meditations or weekly yoga classes but who desperately need a moment of themselves in the day.She built the whole company as a stay-at-home mom with a one-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. She started while showering. She built while nap-timing. And she launched with an audience she had spent SIX MONTHS quietly cultivating before the products were even ready.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Brittany sits down with Jyoti to talk about the daily practice that changes everything: the shower ritual with a mantra, the "Sunday reset" that goes on the family calendar, the difference between martyr-mom self-care and the kind of presence that actually feeds you.Plus: how Jyoti's mom modeled radical self-care in the 80s and 90s before anyone was talking about it, why she emailed Oprah Daily's director and got a response within 30 minutes (the audacious ask lives on), the six-month audience buildup that made her launch actually LAND, why she refuses to make fear-based decisions, and why she believes women building wealth is one of the most powerful movements happening in the world right now.For every mama who has been told to "practice self-care" and quietly wondered why it never actually feels like a break. 💛Find Jyoti: @thebeautyway_co on Instagram | thebeautywayco.comGrab your copy of The Money Hungry Mama Guide -  https://a.co/d/04HXaEwG

Every episode of this podcast has featured a mama hungry for income. Growth. Freedom. More.Jessica is hungry for something else entirely.She is a 22-year registered nurse. She has spent two decades sitting with people during their worst moments — illness, loss, suffering. And two years ago she decided she wanted to be part of someone's HAPPIEST moments instead.So she launched Blooming Rose Paint and Create. A birthday party and craft-event business. Not to replace her nursing income. Not to scale to seven figures. Not to quit her day job.For joy.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Brittany sits down with Jessica to talk about the version of mompreneurship almost nobody names — the one that isn't about the money at all. The one that is about JOY. About community. About being fully present in the version of yourself that gets to CREATE something instead of just survive it.And here is what stopped me cold when Jessica answered the "what does being a Money Hungry Mama mean to you" question:"To me it means chasing your dreams. Not necessarily wealth. I'm hungry for joy and happiness and fulfillment. Freedom as far as being with your kids more. And having that with your kids right beside you."Mama, if you have been feeling like a fraud in the mompreneur space because you don't want to build a seven-figure empire — this episode is your permission slip.You can be hungry for JOY. That counts.Plus: how Jessica started her whole business with a Canva flyer and 4 moms at a playground, the collaboration-over-competition mindset that has grown her network, the maternity leave comeback (three weeks postpartum with a stuffy party!) and what she wishes she had known, why her 8-year-old daughter is already in training to inherit the business, and the honest conversation about how HARD it is to come back after a leave when the algorithm has moved on without you.For every mama whose hustle is her happy place. This one is for you. 💛Find Jessica: @thebloomingrosepaintandcreate on Instagram

I said something in this week's episode that I did not realize was a confession.I told my guest that I only use AI for "silly things." Outfit ideas. Recipe swaps. Silly little searches while I fold laundry.She stopped me cold."Brittany, what you're calling silly? That's someone else's business. When you look up outfits, someone's outfit business gets found. When you search for a gift, someone's gift business gets found. Your silly is someone else's product being discovered."Mama. Chills.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, I sit down with Lexi Birmingham — a former corporate sales VP who quit her 15-year job during maternity leave, taught herself Claude in six months while her son slept, and built Bermo Co: a talent growth marketplace that runs on custom AI infrastructure.Lexi is the smartest AI voice I have talked to in months. She is not the person telling you to let AI write your captions. She is the person teaching you how to build an AI infrastructure that runs your business behind the scenes while you keep your voice, your writing, and your family time completely intact.This is the conversation for the mama who has been told to STAY AWAY from AI — but who is quietly worried she is being left behind. Both things can be true. AI can be a threat to your authentic voice AND the most powerful business infrastructure you have ever had access to. Lexi teaches you how to hold both.Plus: the six months she spent on maternity leave learning Claude, how she cut 90% of her business subscriptions by building her own AI tools, why GEO is replacing SEO (and what 60% of your buyers are actually searching), the "gap scan" she runs for startups that surfaces where their revenue is quietly slipping, and the "lobster roll in Miami" moment where she decided to quit her corporate job for good.For every mama who has been afraid of AI. And every mama who is quietly wondering if she should be more afraid of being LEFT BEHIND by it. 💛Find Lexi: @bermo.co on Instagram | bermoco.comPre-Order The Money Hungry Mama Guide - https://a.co/d/04HXaEwG

You looked down at your baby and something pulled — I don't want to leave her. I want to figure out how to stay.

Brittany shares the urgent care moment that started it all ("with every mouth comes a loaf of bread"), why the pull to stay home isn't selfish, and how she built a work-from-home life so she never had to hand her kids to someone else.For every mom searching for a side hustle, a work-from-home income, or a way off the maternity-leave cliff — there's a third door, and it's not on the menu they gave you.🎧 Then join the FREE Find Your Perfect Hustle class on September 17 — https://themoneyhungrymama.myflodesk.com/freewebinarStay hungry, mama

I have a confession, mama.Before I built The Money Hungry Mama into what it is today, I tried thirty side hustles. Thirty. Because every time I saw someone else winning at something new, I thought I could do that too. I chased every shiny thing. I burned out. I quit. I started over. I called it "figuring things out."Meanwhile, this week's guest was quietly doing something I could not do at the time.Vanessa Rose Watts is the owner of Pumpkin Lee Prints — a custom invitation and event design business she has been building for twenty years. No storefront. No website (still doesn't have one, four years into planning to make one). No TikTok dances. No viral trends. No pivots. No off-ramps.Just twenty years of the same beautiful work, done a little better every year.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Brittany sits down with Vanessa Rose to talk about the growth philosophy that saved her from every trap most mompreneurs fall into — and gave Brittany the words for what she wishes someone had told her ten years ago."Stay in your lane. When you're ready to grow, make it a two-lane road. Then a three-lane road. But it's still YOUR road. It's branches off the same tree — not nine different plants in your garden."This is the conversation for the mama who has been chasing every trend, jumping between hustles, exhausted from being pulled in a thousand directions — and quietly wondering if there is a different way.There is. Vanessa Rose has been living it for two decades.Plus: how she built her business entirely on word-of-mouth and referrals (no paid ads, no dance trends), why "being your own marketing" beats copying what everyone else is doing, the elementary teacher pivot that changed her life, how to know when it's time to expand your lane, why the "excited bug" of trying every new thing is the biggest threat to your business, and why the mama who says yes to less makes more.For every mama who has been made to feel like her slow build is falling behind. It's not. It's compounding. 💛Find Vanessa Rose: @pumpkinlyprints on InstagramWebsite: Pumpkinlypaperie.comThe Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026. https://a.co/d/04HXaEwGFb group → https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FVmxXpM3J/

Before Estee Levin had her son, she said yes to every opportunity that came her way. Every wedding. Every late night. Every gig that was tired-but-worth-it. Every stress filled overworked opportunity that felt like it might lead somewhere.She never said no.Then she became a mother.And motherhood did not restrict her business — it did something much more powerful. It refined what she was willing to say yes to.In this episode, Brittany sits down with Estee Levin — host of Not Your Average Mom Pod, a full-time PR professional, and the owner of her own wedding planning business — to break down the principle that most mompreneurs never fully name for themselves:The Refined Yes.Motherhood does not shrink your ambition, mama. It sharpens it. Every yes now has to earn its place around your family. Every opportunity has to fit the season you're in. Every chase has to be worth the hour it will take from someone you love.The mama who says yes to less makes more — because every yes she gives is now aimed.This is the conversation for the mompreneur who has been drowning in commitments she said yes to for the wrong reasons, the mama who has been comparing her pace to her pre-baby self, and the woman who needs permission to want less and mean it more.Plus: how Estee grew up in the wedding industry (her dad co-owned a Jersey wedding boat), why the best wedding planners come from the venue side, how to start a wedding planning side hustle without quitting your day job, the two-weddings-a-month rhythm that works around family life, why she did her first solo wedding for FREE and what it opened up, and the boundary shift most first-time moms don't see coming.For every mama whose yes has been costing her family more than it earns. 💛Find Estee: @notyouraveragemompod on Instagram The Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026https://a.co/d/04HXaEwG

Your audience is not ignoring you, mama. They are counting.Modern consumers need to see your content, your message, your name, or your product roughly 24 times before they take action. Twenty-four touch points. That's not a psychological quirk — that's the math of an oversaturated attention economy where every mama scrolling has 40 open tabs in her brain at any moment.Most mompreneurs quit at touch point 6, 8, maybe 12 — because the silence feels like proof that nobody cares.The silence doesn't mean nobody cares. The silence means they haven't hit their threshold yet.In this episode, Brittany sits down with Lisa Vara — the owner of Lux Virtual Services and a mama who launched her whole business at 55 after a divorce forced her hand — to break down The 24-Touch Truth: the principle that separates the mompreneurs who quit at post #12 from the mompreneurs who quietly build empires by post #24.Lisa built her business almost entirely on word of mouth + consistent Instagram + one incredible networking event. No paid ads. No massive social budget. Just consistent, patient showing up until the right people found her.If you have ever felt invisible on social media, if you have ever wondered whether your content is even landing, if you have ever wanted to quit because nothing seems to be working — this episode is your permission slip to keep going.Plus: how Lisa turned 35 years of admin expertise into a business almost overnight, why networking events pay for themselves ten times over, why the "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room" rule applies to every mom in business, what to look for when hiring your first virtual assistant, and Lisa's honest advice to any mama trying to make her first $500 online.For every mama who is showing up when it feels like no one is watching.

Sami Sopko is a mom of three from Cleveland and a co-founder of BuilderBox — a STEM learning kit built for kids (including neurodivergent kids) who don't want to follow the "rules" of a typical activity box.Earlier this year, she had a crazy idea. What if she DM'd a famous celebrity from her hometown and asked him to help her get her boxes into local school districts?Two moms from Cleveland. One short DM. Sent to someone she'd never met.Within a few minutes, he responded: "I got you."The video announcing the donation got 32 million views in a single day.In this episode, Sami — a listener-turned-guest and one of Brittany's own audience members — walks Brittany through the entire story, the philosophy behind BuilderBox, and the principle that changed the trajectory of her whole business: the audacious ask.Most mompreneurs never ask. They don't send the DM. They don't email the school district. They don't reach out to the sponsor. Because they assume the answer will be no.Sami is proof that the mama who asks is the mama who builds something extraordinary.Plus: how she built BuilderBox from her garage as a mom of three, why she started marketing on Instagram BEFORE the product was ready, why she deliberately chose NOT to do a subscription model, how she's building for neurodivergent kids first, the co-founder dynamic that makes her business work, and why motherhood has actually made her a BETTER CEO than she was pre-kids.For every mama sitting on a DM she's been too scared to send.

Most business advice tells you to be likable. To smooth your edges. To attract "everyone."Alesha Courtney did the opposite — and built a thriving online health coaching business helping women ditch diet culture and stop calorie counting for good.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Alesha — a nutritionist, personal trainer, dog mama, and former brick-and-mortar studio owner — tells Brittany why being opinionated is not a bug, it's the whole strategy. Alesha filters aggressively. She has strong opinions. She loses followers on purpose. And her ideal clients find her BECAUSE of it, not despite it.This is the conversation for the mompreneur who has been softening her voice, hedging her opinions, and trying to please everyone — and quietly wondering why her business isn't landing.Plus: how Alesha turned her own eating disorder recovery into a decade-long career, why she closed her all-women's studio after COVID and went fully online, how she built a personal brand that AI can't touch, why 2026 is the year of storytelling and human-first content, and her simple advice to every woman thinking about starting: just start. Start messy.

Stephanie Lopez is a Vice President of Finance at a global consulting firm. She is also the owner of Aquatots Tom's River — a swim school with 57 employees that opened just two years ago. And a mom of four kids under seven. And she has never quit her corporate job.Let me say that again, mama: she has never quit.In this episode, Stephanie walks Brittany through the structural tool that makes her impossible-sounding life actually work. She calls it her "blackout period" — a daily non-negotiable window from 4:30 to 8:30pm where she does ZERO work, ZERO email, and is 100% present with her kids. Then her side hustle begins at 8:30 and runs until 11:30 every night.That four-hour container is the difference between burning out and building a 57-employee business while keeping her dream corporate role.This is the conversation for every mama who has been told she has to QUIT to build something big — and who is finally ready to learn the system that makes building-AND-keeping actually work.Plus: how she and her husband took their 401k and put their house on the line to open Aquatots, why waiting 9 extra months for the perfect location was the smartest move they made, the marketing strategy that took her from 200 pre-sales to 700 in one week, and the mistake she'd undo if she could (rushing the opening because of financial pressure).For the mama who's been told she has to choose.

In January 2023 — the dead of winter, the wrong season for a gardening business, with no other income and three daughters depending on her — Mari Guadagno quit her 25-year corporate sales job at Xerox and went all-in on her container design business.Her daughters' first reaction? "Mom, it's January. How are you going to pay the mortgage?"Mari panicked. Until the angels answered.In this episode, Mari — a single mom of three girls and the founder of Willow and Oak Custom Planters — walks Brittany through the moment she realized her hobby was a real business, the COVID pivot that gave her permission to dream again, the text message that arrived in the exact moment she was second-guessing the biggest decision of her life, and the marketing strategy that built her business from zero to thriving in 4 years with almost zero online ads.This is the conversation for the mama who has been at a corporate job too long, the single mom who has been told she can't "play small," and every woman wondering if it's too late to start something. Mari is proof it isn't.Plus: why friends saying "you should get paid for this" is the universe trying to tell you something, why service-based local businesses are an underrated path to entrepreneurship, and how Mari is teaching her three girls what it really means to bet on yourself.For every mama who has been waiting for the "right time" to leap. 💛Find Mari: @willowandoakcustomplanters on Instagram | willowandoakcustomplanters.comFb grouphttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FVmxXpM3J/ The Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744Instagram: @themoneyhungrymama

Louisa Vilardi had her best business year ever in 2025. She made the money. She hit the growth. She scaled her photography business in ways she'd been dreaming about for a decade. And it felt awful.Because the cost of that growth was her family.In this episode, Louisa — a former high school English teacher turned 10-year photography business owner and mama of three — walks Brittany through the framework she uses every January to make sure her business is growing the right way, not just the fast way. She calls it Refine and Release: keep what's working, release what's draining you, and stop measuring success by money alone.This is the conversation for every mompreneur who has ever felt the icky in between of "my business is growing but my family is paying the price" and who needs permission to scale back without it meaning failure.Plus: how Louisa built her business secretly during maternity leave (no website, no Instagram, no LLC), the pay-what-you-can pricing model she used to launch, the moment her mom passed away weeks after her son was born and changed her whole "why," the "two costs to every success" framework, and the fully-clothed-jump-in-the-ocean story that taught her how to take leaps in business.For the mama who is tired of the lie that more = better. 💛Find Louisa: @louisavilardiphotography on Instagram | louisavilardi.com The Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744Instagram: @themoneyhungrymamaJoin the Free Fb Community:https://forms.gle/9V2zaH7A78s9SyXo8

hyllis King wasted almost two years buying online business courses, trying different models, and spinning her wheels — looking for the "next thing" to pivot into after her 13-year home daycare needed to close. And then one day she stumbled onto a pediatric sleep consulting certification and realized the truth that almost every mompreneur misses:"It was right there in front of me the whole time. I was so busy looking over here that I didn't see what's right here."In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Phyllis — a former kindergarten teacher, school social worker, mom of four notoriously bad sleepers, and 13-year home daycare owner — walks Brittany through how she built TWO thriving businesses using only the expertise she already had. And how every mama listening is probably standing on her next business idea right now without realizing it.Plus: pediatric sleep training that ISN'T "leave them to cry it out," giving moms permission to change their minds, why "the first pancake" theory will save your sanity, how to know when it's time to pivot, and the brutal truth about how public school squeezes out experienced teachers (and what to do when your career ousts you).If you have ever thought "I need to learn something new before I can start a business" — please, mama, listen to this one first. 💛Find Phyllis: @beyondsleepsolutions on Instagram | beyondsleepsolutions.comPre Order -> https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744

By the time Lindsey Gann's four kids had all moved out, she didn't know who she was anymore. She had been their mom since she was 21 — and when the house went silent, the question came for her: who am I, if not their mom? She didn't have an answer. She had a depression.Then one night, doom-scrolling Amazon, she ordered a clay starter kit. That clay became Bold and Bloom — a hand-sculpted floral jewelry line for "moms who have spent years being everything for everyone else and are finally ready to feel like themselves again."In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Lindsey shares the empty-nest depression nobody warned her about, the question every mama needs to start asking now (no matter how young your kids are), how she built a business from scratch in her 40s, the focus rule that saved her business ("pick one thing"), and her redefinition of what it actually means to be a Money Hungry Mama.If you've ever felt yourself disappearing into the role of "mom" — this one is for you. 💛Find Lindsey: @_boldandbloom on Instagram | shopboldandbloom.com

Tova Halpern's whole career was supposed to follow a script. Miami theater kid → musical theater conservatory → NYU → Broadway producer → dream job at a New Jersey regional theater. And then she had her first baby. And eight weeks later, her company told her: "If you don't come back on Monday, you're fired."She didn't come back. She was fired. And then — slowly, painfully, brilliantly — she built something the system could never have given her: Fresh Theater Arts, a 15-person educational theater company with Broadway partnerships and waitlists 20 kids deep.In this episode of The Money Hungry Mama Podcast, Tova shares the rebuild — including maternity leave as a business owner, how to plan for sick days with no PTO, the "yes and" mindset that builds resilient businesses, why direct marketing still wins in 2026, and the side hustle that's bringing her the most unexpected joy.For every mama who's ever been told no. 💛Pre-Order https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744

Lauren Boss is the definition of a money hungry mama. After a corporate layoff in 2023, she didn't go back to a 9–5 — she went bigger.

January is loud. Everywhere you turn it’s new year, new goals, new habits, new routines, new bodies, new businesses—and for moms, that pressure can feel overwhelming instead of motivating.In this episode, Brittany challenges the idea that you need a “new you” to move forward. Because motherhood already changed you in ways no planner, vision board, or January reset ever could. You didn’t wake up to a blank slate—you woke up as someone who has been reshaped by responsibility, love, exhaustion, and showing up even when it’s hard.We talk about why real growth doesn’t look flashy or Instagram-worthy, why consistency beats motivation every time, and how quiet, steady action is what actually builds confidence, businesses, and momentum. If you’re tired of restarting every January, changing directions too fast, or feeling like you’re behind, this episode is your permission slip to stop reinventing and start trusting the woman you already are.You’ll hear why steadiness matters more than perfection, how small actions compound over time, and why staying—even when it’s boring or uncomfortable—is often the breakthrough you’re waiting for.This isn’t about becoming better.It’s about becoming steadier.If you’re a mom building something, dreaming of more, or simply trying to find yourself again in the middle of motherhood—this one’s for you. Stay hungry. 💛Connect with MHM: The Money Hungry Mama Guide — coming Sept 8, 2026https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/money-hungry-mama-brittany-plumeri/1148503744Instagram: @themoneyhungrymamaJoin the Free Fb Community:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FVmxXpM3J/Join the Mompreneur Table: https://themoneyhungrymama.mykajabi.com/offers/2WWDS5xE/checkoutGrab the free “Find Your Perfect Hustle” guide here:https://themoneyhungrymama.myflodesk.com/findyourperfecthustleGrab the free “Mompreneur Marketing Makeover” guide here: https://themoneyhungrymama.myflodesk.com/mompreneurmarketingmakeover

Today’s episode will hit you straight in the gut—in the best possible way.I’m sitting down with Jenn Eisenberg, CEO of Bold Arts, who built a thriving kids’ creative business that has lasted over a decade. But it wasn’t the success that stopped me in my tracks… it was the moment she almost walked away from all of it.Jenn takes you inside the exact chapter every entrepreneur eventually hits:the keep swimming or give up moment.The moment where the pressure, the fear, the identity shift, the motherhood load, and the sheer weight of building something from nothing collide.And then—she shares the decision that changed everything.This conversation is a masterclass in grit, heart, and what happens when a woman finally decides to stop whispering about her dreams and start owning them.If you’re in the thick of it… if you’re tired… if you’re questioning everything… this episode will remind you:You’re not done.You’re just in the middle of your breakthrough.Listen for this line:“If I’m not going to own it now, when will I? This is it.”Share this episode with a mom who needs to hear that her dream still matters.Connect with Jenn @bold.arts
