Do you ever look around at all the summer adventures flooding your social media and feel that crushing weight of parent guilt? That voice whispering, "My kids deserve better, but I just can't afford it"?

You're not alone. In this heartfelt episode, we tackle that summer comparison trap head-on and reveal why the secret to family happiness isn't found in expensive vacations or theme park passes. Financial freedom isn't about having more money—it's about creating margin in your life and budget.

I share my family's recent whirlwind of changes—from homeschooling adjustments to my husband's job switch and our first season of travel baseball—all while growing my coaching business with new program options for every budget. These real-life challenges have reinforced what matters most: presence over purchases.

We dive into practical, nearly-free activities that create lasting memories (spoiler: kids remember connection, not cost), and discuss how small financial changes compound into life-changing margin. That breathing room between income and expenses is what transforms summer from something you survive into something you savor.

Whether you're making six figures but still living paycheck-to-paycheck or working multiple jobs to make ends meet, this episode offers both emotional support and practical steps toward a life where financial stress no longer steals your joy.
