Are you doing all the “right” money things and still feeling anxious, guilty, or behind? In this episode of Moms Making Dough, we dive into healing your money story and finding real financial peace as a mom — not just chasing the buzzword “financial freedom.”3rd-generation attorney, mom, and mentor Meg shares how she turned generational money patterns, big financial decisions, and entrepreneurship into a grounded, more peaceful relationship with money.

What You’ll Learn / Episode Highlights

• How Meg’s money story began with her grandfather’s law practice, wealth, and service — and what she actually kept (and rejected) from that model

• The difference between financial freedom vs. financial peace (and why peace starts with non-reactivity, not a number in your bank account)

• How to see money as energy and flow, instead of a verdict on your worth as a woman, mom, or entrepreneur

• The “baby steps” mindset that helped Meg and her husband move into their dream home when the numbers on paper said “no way”

• Why most women over-give and under-receive — and how to practice receiving (from friends, clients, and money itself) without guilt

• The real talk about being a mom, business owner, and leader: boundaries, burnout, and knowing when not to look at your bank accounts

• How to question the “rules” of money, roles in partnership, and business so you can design your life instead of living by default

Feeling stuck in survival mode with your money, no matter how hard you work? In this episode we dive into money mindset for moms and how to move from scarcity and hustle to freedom and financial peace.

What You’ll Learn / Highlights

• How growing up as 1 of 8 kids, wearing hand-me-downs and eating last at dinner, shaped Maggie’s early money story.

• The simple investing approach she used to help teachers build multi–six figure retirement accounts starting with just $50 per paycheck.

• The “latte factor” and now the “app factor”—and how tiny daily decisions quietly steal your wealth.

• A practical money audit exercise you can do on your phone to finally see where your cash is really going.

• How a devastating car accident, chronic pain, and pain meds almost derailed everything—and the mindset work that brought her back.

• The scariest move she made in business (hiring her first assistant) and why it became the key to scaling her impact and income.

• What it actually looks like to sell your business, retire, and live in financial peace while still serving others in a new way.

• Maggie’s final message to women who don’t feel “financially savvy” and doubt their value.

Fresh off a soul-shifting trip to Mexico, Kendra Hewitt brings a raw, real, and inspired download on what it truly means to let faith, not fear, lead your financial decisions.

Faith looks like inspired action, not panic-driven hustle.

Outsourcing is stewardship, not splurging, free up time for your purpose.

Respect in relationships grows when value is clearly communicated, not assumed.

The people around you can either stretch your courage or shrink it, choose wisely.
