Let's tune in to today's episode.
Speaker 1:Rachel is a wife, mom of four and the founder of Money Mom Club, a supportive community that helps women simplify their finances, master grocery budgeting and feel confident with money. She's passionate about making financial wellness feel doable and empowering, especially for busy moms. When she's not coaching or creating practical money tools, you'll find her juggling real life with teaching fitness classes and eating yummy food, which is a no-brainer why we're connected, my good friend Rachel. She's helped so many families and I cannot wait for her to share her tips and her wisdom with you, especially with the state of the world right now. I know we're all thinking about it and this isn't our typical topic on the pod, but I have a hunch that we will absolutely dive into the psychology behind money and how it could be affecting your athlete's confidence. So let's jump into today's episode.
Speaker 2:Rachel welcome to the pod. Hey, thanks for having me. I'm super excited to be here.
Speaker 1:So I I've started asking this question. I like this question so much better and it's very simple and you get to take this wherever you want to take it. Tell us about Rachel. Who is she? Oh, this is fun.
Speaker 2:This is. This is a lot of pressure. A lot of pressure to answer in one question, amanda. I think you explained it perfectly. Like what I do in the world and how I help people with their finances and helping women specifically talk about money, learn about money, learn how to deal with the money in their financial family.
Speaker 2:I really believe that women have such a power as becoming the financial CEO of their family and, as my own journey has taken me you know you said I'm a mom of four kids. That was the start of it all was when I left the workforce to stay home with my children, to be a stay-at-home mom. I love being with my kids and that is so important to me. But I felt like a part of me died when I left the workforce because it was like I took that paycheck, that external validation from society, and I got rid of that. And it wasn't until I realized that, as a stay-at-home mom, I have an amazing power and even if you're not a stay-at-home mom, even if you're a working mom, you also have a power to budget correctly, save money where it's important, build money where it's important and really run the family.
Speaker 2:We know that moms are running families right. We're the ones that are scheduling, we're the ones that are taking the kids to softball practice. We're doing all of those things, but we're also paying off the credit card bills and paying the mortgages and all of those types of things. And so when we can combine and empower women to really sit at the table of their finances, I think we change the world. And that's what I do, what I am. You know, that's a small portion of who I am. There's so much more that we could talk about Lots of passions. I love being outside, I love exercising, I love my family, all of the things.
Speaker 1:All of the things, and literally the phrase that I wrote down is empower women. I mean, really that's that's why you and I are connected. It's about empowering women, whether it's a softball athlete or a mom that's trying to, you know, literally manage the home and run, run the family and literally running two practices and food and all the things. So you, you help moms in a lot of areas. So maybe it would be good to kind of start there, of like, you're kind of the expert on all the things, so you've got a couple of pillars. Can you kind of talk about your pillars, of what you teach?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I'll try not to go too deep into each one because we could spend hours on each one, but I think you said it perfectly when you said that this affects everything. Money affects everything in our life. It's pervasive in all of our relationships the way we show up in our marriage, the way we show up for our kids, what we're teaching our kids, the way we feel every day, a day in and a day out, the stress that we feel, the emotional load that we have on our shoulders. A lot of our experience in the world stems from money and how we view money and how we feel about money and whether we have a bill to pay that we don't know how we're going to pay. We could talk about that for hours. So I think that's really important, that when we can step back and recognize how do we view money, how does money affect us, what is our relationship with money. That is the key to unlocking peace, happiness and long-term wealth. That's the most important thing.
Speaker 2:In the Money Mom Club you touched on this, my community we talk about four different main pillars of finances and it's a little bit I would say it's not a normal thing that most people talk about our first pillar, but I do believe it is the fastest and easiest way to have extra money every month, and that is focusing on your grocery spending right, and this is going to like people are going to be like wait, wait. I thought we're talking about money. Why are we talking about grocery budgeting? But when, again, when I was starting my own journey, I felt really overwhelmed trying to run the finances. I felt really overwhelmed by the budgeting spreadsheets and the numbers and trying to make sure all the categories were figured out. But when I looked at our grocery spending and I saw that we were spending $1,200 a month on groceries alone for our family of six and this was back in 2020. So you can imagine how much that number would be now I was blown away and also was like I think that's the one budget I should focus on. You know, get rid of all the other budgets that we're spending money on. Let's just focus on this one budget. And through a lot of trial and error it took me a while, but I was able to cut my grocery spending by $500 a month. That's $7,000 a year just from that one budget alone. That's $7,000 a year just from that one budget alone.
Speaker 2:And what I realized through that process was that I could still eat healthy food, I could still eat whole foods, I could still fuel my body the way that I wanted to and needed to fuel my body, and we were saving so much money. And what that did was it created a foundation for a bigger problem, which is intentional spending Making sure that where we want our money to go is where it's going. And a lot of times, families are spending so much on groceries because they think that that's just how it is now right. Inflation has made groceries so expensive, but by focusing on that one budget alone, we can really get extra money every month, which then can help pay off debt. Stop living paycheck to paycheck gives you a buffer zone for your finances.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you're familiar with this, but I was a personal trainer for a long time and they always said that the best success of a client losing weight would be how much weight they lose in the first month. It wasn't. It wasn't the long-term, it was they did. They see progress right away. So that's always stuck with me of like we got to get people in and we got to give them wins really quick, and so you're saying psychologically psychologically yes, Sorry Hard work is paying off.
Speaker 1:Yes, they're going to stay in it with the long haul. Yeah, yes.
Speaker 2:They're going to be motivated to keep going and if they don't lose weight in that first month, you're going to have a much harder time keeping them and getting them excited about losing weight. It's the same thing with our finances. If you're not seeing progress right away, why would you keep doing it? Why would you feel like this extra energy putting towards your finances is worth it? That's why grocery budgeting is so important. So that's the first pillar. Once we create that foundation of like now you're thinking about money differently in just that one budget, then we can go deeper into finances as a whole and budgeting as a whole. And how do we make sure that our values are aligned with our spending? I'm not about restrictive budgeting. That was one of the things that turned me off for budgeting for so long was because I didn't want them to tell me that I couldn't go drive through McDonald's and get my Diet Coke. When I wanted to buy the Diet Coke or the Starbucks or whatever it is, I couldn't get the takeout when I wanted to go out to eat. But when we can really merge these two worlds together of like what's important to you, that's where your money should be going and you get to decide what your values are and how can we build your financial landscape, your budgeting, around what's important to you. So that's the next thing we hit on.
Speaker 2:The third thing we talk about is the investment world and how to build long-term wealth. It's not just about men in suits on the stock market exchange. I think for so many women and I see this with our community is that women feel really overwhelmed when it comes to the world of investing, and most of the time that's on the husband's shoulders. If they have a partner, they don't know where the investments are going, they don't know what to invest in, they aren't investing, and so we just really make it very simple teaching people how to build wealth for long, the long game.
Speaker 2:And then the fourth and final pillar is all about side hustles and how, as a mom, if you're busy, you don't have time to go out and work a nine to five job to bring in money, and in fact I'm I don't believe in that at all. I think there are so many easy ways that don't take a lot of time that you can bring in $50, $100, $500. We have women making $1,000 a month just from something simple out of their home, and so we talk about saving money with the budgeting. That only goes so far. You can only cut back your budget so much. Then we have to talk about ways that we can increase the money coming in. So really, it's all. It's pretty robust in that respect. We talk a lot about healing your relationship with money, money mindset, that kind of stuff. So anyways, really passionate about this, I could talk about this all day.
Speaker 1:Amanda, I'll turn it over to you and I've seen it. I think that's the cool thing is is as your friend and as someone who's been in business coaching with you and our connections, which also you are. So coach Kara. Coach Kara is your sister.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:This is like so fun. So these ideas of like. I can give you an example of how this applies to our audience on all four of those pillars.
Speaker 1:And so we have a lot of softball parents, a lot of softball coaches. The joke is is that we can eat dinner at four or we can eat dinner at nine. So I'm already imagining, okay, in the grocery pillar, I know how much money is is I don't want to say wasted, but I know how much money goes out the window because here are these groceries in our fridge but we're so busy running to practices and lessons and scrimmages and games and tournaments that we get home from a tournament on Monday and I have to throw out all my groceries because, we didn't plan, we didn't use them.
Speaker 1:Or we're spending $60 at, you know, chipotle or wherever because we just had to run and get food or Chick-fil-A, whatever. That is Right and you know I can. I can think about the grocery. I can think about the intentional spending of like a lot of softball parents get a lot of flack. One bat is $500. And these girls are getting bats. Almost every season bats break. They're getting. You know, these kids have thousands of dollars strapped to their back. So you know, if you're going to be intentional spending on on that, as a softball parent, it's like you can buy the $500 bat but it's going to take some planning on. On other ways I think parents are thinking about. Investments is like I'm spending thousands of dollars as an investment for my daughter to get a college scholarship. It's like what percent of them are actually going to get a full ride scholarship, right yeah, and side hustles that that's a no brainer.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like more softball parents want side hustles because we want to be there for our kids, we want to this. This all makes sense, Rachel this makes sense.
Speaker 2:Where do you want to take this? Oh my gosh, we could talk. We could talk about so many different things. One of the things okay, so, um, I do want to hit on the fact that busyness is really hard when it comes to budgeting and and dinner. Let's talk about dinner specifically.
Speaker 2:We have a lot of members who are in the same boat, where they have kids in high demand sports, where you're gone from 4 to 9 pm. What do you do? How do I justify the grocery spending with this lifestyle that I live? And again, I just want to say chances are. Nobody taught you how to correctly plan shop and cook for your family, right? Nobody? Nobody sat me down. My mom didn't sit me down when I went off to college or when I got married and say this is how you do this, this you know like it was. I literally started figuring it out when we got married and then I had kids and then I tried to figure it out again.
Speaker 2:Most of the time we're running on chaos mode.
Speaker 2:Let's be honest, right, we're running on chaos mode where we haven't thought about the week ahead, we haven't figured out when the tournaments are, when the games are, and we haven't planned our life accordingly.
Speaker 2:This isn't about you have to follow this schedule and you have to eat this meal and you have to do this thing in order to be successful. No, this is about you taking power back in your life and saying this is what our life looks like in this season, or this week or this weekend, and this is what I need in order to be successful. And maybe that means you're gonna plan one night where you go get Chipotle, you take the night off and you go enjoy dinner out, but then on the other nights because you're trying to save money so that you can put money in other places right, that's what we've decided is, if groceries aren't one of your high value categories and paying for your kid's softball coach is then let's find that extra money in our grocery budget so that we can put it somewhere else and let's be more intentional in that area of our life so that we can have the money to spend that's more important to us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that so much and it's this mindset of um. I always say stand in your power. You said bring you know, get back your power. It's like you're not powerless to this, I think, in the state of our economy, in the state of the world right now, I think we, we just throw, we slap labels on it, right.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, inflation, or oh, she broke her bat, or oh, we have to, we have to buy this, and it's like, well've taught me a lot, totally Well, and that's how, when we talk about relationships with money and I could talk a little bit about my own journey and healing my own relationship with money so often we allow money to dictate how we show up in the world, how we feel about things. You know, the kid breaks the bat. How angry are we and we don't kind of just sit in and allow money to flow into us and out of us and we can't dictate a lot of things. We cannot dictate inflation, we cannot dictate the economy and whether the market's going up or going down. So why would we let that affect us internally?
Speaker 2:When we get clouded over by what we can control and when we are so angry or so frustrated, we lose sight of what's important to us and where we can change things and where we can affect our financial situation. When you think of money with a clear head, then everything changes. But so often there's so much emotional turmoil. You know, checking the bank account, checking the investments, checking those kinds of things, it produces so much emotion, whether good or bad, and we have to be really careful that, like if we're giving our power to money.
Speaker 1:Well, so here's a really interesting fact for you. I think I can joke about this. I think, most of the time, softball parents, I would love for you to DM me. Please DM me on Instagram, because I want to know you. We need to settle the score. I think most of the time, parents are pretty secretly proud when their daughter breaks a bat. It's more of the unintentional pressure when they're not performing so like if you break a bat you're crushing the ball Well, unless you need it.
Speaker 1:on warranty, well, that's another thing. I wrote this down. I would love for my families to reflect on this. Like, if you could reflect on this this is what I wrote down is money what's causing you to feel this way about your daughter's performance or lack of performance? Because so often what I see and I see this in my one-on-one client sessions is a lot of the times the kids will come to me and they're feeling the pressure. Their number one pressure is fear of letting their coaches, their teammates and their parents down. It's it's a fear of letting others down. And so, subconsciously, when you're talking about how expensive that bat is or how frustrating it is that we're spending so much on lessons but you're not hitting well in game day, or why is it not transferring? You have to. You know you have to be successful. You have to hit well. We're paying for all of this right. What kind of subconscious message is that sending to our children?
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, I mean, this is something that goes beyond softball and this world. But how are you showing up for your kid when it comes to money and, again, the pressure that you could and unintentionally right, You're not meaning to do that. That you could and unintentionally, right, You're not meaning to do that. This is not. But what messages are your kids taking in and what are they internalizing? And then, how is it affecting them? Right? How is it affecting their performance? How is it affecting because of all of these layers of pressure and as a as a parent with my own children, how I speak about money has to be.
Speaker 2:I have to be very, very careful and I mess up, and it's okay if you mess up. It's okay if you haven't been perfect in the past, right, we're, we're always a work in progress, but we can be really careful about the, the scarcity that we have with money, Even if it is scarce in our own situation, even if we are worried about all the money that we're spending and how our kids performing. Do we put that on our kid or do we keep that and work on it on ourselves and, I think, your kid? Again, like I said, when money starts to cloud our vision. It affects everything and it'll affect your kid and how they perform. So if that is an issue that you have, I would really recommend keeping that to yourself and work. You know you have to do your own mental work in order to not put that on your child, Because I think you know there's a bigger. There's a bigger issue as well with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I even think about a simple thing that I would kind of put back on. Parents is especially the young. I'm talking about youngers, like I have nine, 10, 11, 12 year olds, maybe when they're older, like high school, maybe you can talk about these things. But I also don't think that these conversations are even things we need to be talking about in front of our kids right.
Speaker 1:Of um you know like? Do they even understand the brevity of you? Know your team? Do they know? Do they need to know what the team dues are? Do they need to know how much the bat costs or the lessons costs?
Speaker 1:Cause I think so often what stops a lot of kids from getting help, even with a mental performance coach, is all be speaking with an athlete in the DMs and they'll say coach, I really need your help, I want to work with you. I almost always direct it to the parent because if I'm sending that information to a child they get sticker shock, because that would be like the equivalent of telling your athlete how much the medical bill was for counseling, even though I'm not a traditional counselor. Yeah, they would have guilt around that and they wouldn't. They wouldn't spend that money themselves because they're in a limited mindset of what are they spending money on. You know dollar, starbucks or you know, and maybe they're shopping at Lulu and they know how much Lulu's costs and all the expensive things that teenagers are buying. But they're not necessarily going to advocate for themselves as soon as that money comes into the conversation.
Speaker 2:Right and we and we know, as parents, that there's like ROI investments and there's, like you know, experience investments and there's mental investments. I mean, I 100% believe in coaching to be the best investment you could ever make in yourself. But yeah, kids don't really understand that and I don't think it's something you need to hide from them necessarily. I think it is important to talk about money. It's not like I never, I would never talk about money in front of my kids. No, absolutely. I want them to see how I process making decisions.
Speaker 2:And if if they see, there you go. If they see like so, let's say, my son, we just signed him up for football. He loves tackle football. We signed him up for football and it was $750 for the season. That's a. That's a lot of money, right, it's. It's a. It's an investment, and he knew how much it costs.
Speaker 2:We talked to him about because I wanted him to value it. I didn't want him to think that this is just something flippant that we're just signing you up for. We sat him down and we said is Caleb, is this something you actually want to do? And we had that conversation Is it something that you're willing to invest yourself in Time, energy, that kind of thing? Because mom and dad are now investing in you and we value this experience for you and we're all about with our financial situation. We're all about putting things towards what we value, and sports and that type of fundamental coaching and things like that. We want that for you. So this is worth it to us. We have the money and we want to put it towards this. So then he knows in his mind my parents are investing in me you know, and it's not, it's not an, it's not a pressure.
Speaker 2:It's not like you have to perform, you have to be a starting player, you have to do this thing. It's like no, we see this as so much bigger than just playing a sport. This is building you, your character, who you are, learning how to work on a team. That's what we're investing in, and so we're taking the pressure off performance and we're putting the pressure on him as an individual.
Speaker 2:So I think I think having the conversation is important and I think your kid honestly I if and I might not be people might disagree with me, and I think your kid, honestly I if and I might not be people might disagree with me, but I actually think your kid knowing what you're investing is important, because they need to know is this valuable to me enough? Right? Am I? Cause they're going to be doing this with money at some point and they're going to have to make the value proposition. Is it worth? It? Is my value, in line with what I want to spend money on? And they say well, my parents did this and this is how they made this decision is important.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that. That's great. Well, so one of the other things I wrote down is how do you support your daughter's sports journey financially, and so if you were to give some practical tips for softball parents, knowing that softball is a relatively expensive sport? I mean, obviously we talked about groceries. Are there other areas that you could kind of like give some quick insight into?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's, there's a lot of levers that we can pull.
Speaker 2:When it comes to budgeting and finding areas that you can save money on. Everyone is so different and everyone has different. You know areas that they might be overspending on. One of the things that you can save money on. Everyone is so different and everyone has different you know areas that they might be overspending on. One of the things that we can really focus on is you just knowing the numbers right. So often we don't even know the numbers. We're just swiping the credit card and paying it off, and so just getting intentional with like I actually know where my money is going gives you the opportunity to see where you may be overspending or where you know there could be extra money. That's exactly what happened with me. When I looked at our budget and I saw that groceries were so high, I was like the light bulb went on and I was like this is where I'm going to focus. You may have a different budget that you can focus on, so that's one of the one of the things that you can do. And then another thing is the side hustles really like thinking about ways that you can increase the money coming in without going out and getting a job without getting a pay raise.
Speaker 2:You know those are sometimes things beyond your control, but there's a lot of ways, as a as a mom, that you can bring extra money in, and it doesn't mean you have to spend hours every week doing it. One of the things that I love is and we just taught this in our in a masterclass was selling crap on Facebook marketplace. How much, how much stuff do you have in your house that you're not using or that's just sitting in a closet and sell it on Facebook marketplace? We've had people make over a thousand dollars in the month of April which is when we're recording this podcast just on Facebook Marketplace alone. So there's a lot of ways. I actually, when I taught the class, I told a story about. I'm not going to tell the whole story, but I ended up buying an item in bulk that was super cheap way below market value and I resold it on Facebook marketplace and I made $1,500 just from doing that. So there's so many ways that you can bring money in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that. I think part of the thing is going back to this idea of where's your power, right?
Speaker 1:You're not powerless and I think we can get really creative. I I've had this thought ever since I graduated from college. I knew that when we had kids we were going to be right back where I was growing up, playing travel softball. And as a coach, I'm at the fields. And now these tournaments, rachel, some of these tournaments now start on Thursday and so or or even the game on Friday you have to travel. It's like how are parents dipping into their PTO, paying for these hotels and and and being there and then not getting home till 2 am and then turning around and getting to work on Monday or having to skip work on Monday? It's like, well, if you're already taking that PTO and it's a travel day or you have that open space, having an entrepreneurial side hustle is like a perfect fit for competitive sport families.
Speaker 2:Totally the flexibility that you have owning your own business is. It's the best it really is and you don't have to create a full-fledged business, right, like, sometimes that can be overwhelming for people. There's, you know, start as just working as a VA, you know, start doing little side things for other people, and it could grow into something bigger. But yeah, that flexibility is so important with I can't believe Thursdays, it's crazy.
Speaker 1:Like do they not know?
Speaker 2:that people have lives.
Speaker 1:Well, I even think about. You know I'm I'm open about how long ago I played. But you know, even just 10 years ago I actually know that would be college. 15 years ago my parents couldn't afford. We would go to the sparkler tournament. It's a week long tournament in Colorado that falls kind of over 4th of July. And I remember riding with my coach. My sister and I rode with our coach Rachel.
Speaker 1:How this was legal, I don't know. My dad literally gave us hundos to like pay for the hotel in cash and we would like have a bunch of it. Like we had four girls staying. You know, obviously our coaches would check on us, but my parents couldn't afford to take a week off of work, yeah for sure. And so we would go to these tournaments and stay a week long. But now it's like, wow, families are, we might as well make a vacation out of it. So you go to the sparkler for a week, you go to PGF for a week, you go to Alliance for a week. There's like three week long tournaments or four day tournaments that these athletes are doing.
Speaker 1:And if you're listening to this you're. You're nodding your head, you're like yeah, this is our world.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is a world that I have no idea. I've never I don't know any about it anything about it, but that is, yeah, that's a huge investment, time and money for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one of the things that comes up for me I would love your opinion on this is um no-transcript. We have a lot of softball families that are considering signing up for mental training, and it's not tangible.
Speaker 2:It's not. You're not getting it back.
Speaker 1:You know there's no ROI, so like what is your, I guess? What's your mindset on that?
Speaker 2:Well, I will say I was actually just talking to my husband about this, because the business ebbs and flows and sometimes it does better than others. But you know, if I were to close doors and say I'm done running a business, this is too hard to too much investment. All of that investment, all of that I, even if I had lost money in the process, this process has been 100% worth it because of the person that has made me become. Entrepreneurship was just the vehicle to my self-help, to my self-discovery, to learning about myself and becoming a better person. And becoming a better person the way that I show up in my world now, versus what it was five years ago, is completely different. My relationships are different. The way I parent my children is different. My happiness, like the joy that I experience every second of every day, is completely different. It's not because I'm running a business. It's because I put the coaching in and I learned the mindset and the help and did the work on myself. That was the real change that's happened.
Speaker 2:And so, even if, again, this goes back to like what do you value in life? What do you want out of life? What are you wanting to experience in your journey? Do you want to experience more fullness. Do you want your kid to experience a better life than you had? Not just physical things, but like mental, what they're experiencing, the mental health that they have. Do you want them to have that? Do you see the value in that and you have to believe in that yourself. You have to know that it's worth it in order to invest in your own child. But I just think when I think of my own experience and I've watched other people invest in themselves, whenever anybody invests in themselves, we have billions of dollars being spent on therapy and people going and seeing counselors. That's because Americans value that, because we see the benefit. It's not a physical, tangible ROI. It's a mental, emotional ROI. That I think is more important than the tangible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's why we sign our kids up for these experiences. Like you said, with the football, it's like I'm not signing them up for football. I'm signing them up for what it's going to help them become and if we can do this at a younger age, which now you're helping moms that maybe didn't have this opportunity.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:Can we shift that? So we're kind of you know you and I have a same mission empowering women. Yes, different demographic. So how can people find you and how can we learn more about money? Mom club.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I am. I have my own podcast as well. It's called the money mom podcast. Um, and yeah, and I'm um also on social media hey, rachel Coons, instagram, facebook, tik TOK, all the places, um, but I you know.
Speaker 2:I also talked about my community. I have a community. It's called the Money Mom Club and that's where we dive into these pillars. I teach from a method to help you save money on groceries, to help you jump into all these different areas of money. Our members save an average of $600 a month just from working with our method and really really like the change that happens when you get in a container and, amanda, you facilitate this so beautifully with your athletes Something changes when you join a community, when you get in the room with like-minded people who have similar goals, similar desires as you, and coaching in the correct coaching, and so that's what the money mom club is. It's the people that say yes to this experience and wanting that help, and I can. We can drop the link below in the show notes. If anybody wants to check it out, dm me on Instagram.
