Wise Up With Your Money

#85: Relearning Your Money Boundaries After Life Changes

Becky Eichorst — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

When You Don't Know Your Limits Anymore

I grew up an athlete. Two-a-days, sometimes three-a-days, and I knew my body inside and out. Then, in my twenties, I landed in the hospital with rhabdo… not once, but twice. Suddenly, I didn't know my limits anymore, and I was scared.

If you've been through a big life change (a new baby, a job or career shift, becoming a stay-at-home mom, getting married), your money might feel the same way. The old "feel" for what you can spend just doesn't work anymore, and it's easy to slip into avoidance, overspending, or guilt without realizing it.

In this episode, I share my story and walk you through how to relearn your money boundaries with grace:

Why life transitions throw off your spending (even when you used to have it together)
The warning signs your money might be sending you
The avoid-panic-overspend cycle, and how to break it
4 steps to relearn your boundaries for this season
A simple 3-question action step to do with your spouse this week

If you're in a season where you just don't know your limits anymore, you're not failing. You're relearning.

#83: Why It Feels Like There's Always Something

Becky Eichorst — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 09:36:00 GMT

Have you ever felt like the moment you start making progress with your money, another expense pops up?

The car needs repairs. A school fee is due. Your child gets invited to a birthday party. Suddenly, you're reaching for the credit card again and wondering, "Why does this keep happening?" Yup, I get it!

In this episode, I share why these moments may not mean you're bad with money at all. In fact, you may simply have an underdeveloped planning muscle. Say WHAT?

Instead of looking backward at where your money went, what if you started looking ahead at what's coming next?

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why predictable expenses often feel like emergencies.
The difference between reacting to your money and planning for it.
How to strengthen your "planning muscle" without creating a complicated budget.
A simple exercise you can do this week to feel more confident and in control of your finances.

If you're tired of feeling caught off guard and want a simple system that helps you make steady progress, this episode is for you.

Because the goal isn't perfection. It's becoming a little stronger with your money than you were last week.

#78: Quick Fixes Won’t Fix Your Money (And What Actually Will)

Becky Eichorst — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 12:50:54 GMT

Ever find yourself tired, overwhelmed, and hoping this one thing will finally make everything better?

In this episode, I share a very real (and very relatable) story about chasing a “quick fix” — including a $130 pillow that promised relief but didn’t deliver. From impulse purchases to debt shortcuts, we talk about why quick fixes feel so tempting when life and money feel heavy… and why they rarely lead to lasting change.

Money struggles don’t happen overnight, and they usually can’t be fixed overnight either. Real financial peace is built over time through awareness, consistency, and a whole lot of grace.

In this episode, we cover:

Why quick fixes are so appealing when we’re tired and overwhelmed
How years of money habits can’t be undone with one decision
Common money “shortcuts” that don’t actually solve the root problem
Simple awareness exercises to help you spot overspending patterns
Gentle boundaries you can try around categories like eating out, Amazon, or Target
Why your financial journey is a marathon, not a sprint

If you’re ready to take action (without chasing another quick fix), start here:

Pull up your last 30 days of bank or credit card statements
Look for patterns without judgment
Identify one or two overspending categories
Try setting small, realistic boundaries and see how it feels

And if even that feels overwhelming, you don’t have to do this alone.

This is exactly what I help families with — building awareness, aligning money with values, and creating systems that actually work in real life. If you’re ready for support, reach out and let’s walk this journey togetherhttps://www.familywisefinancialcoach.com/discovery-call⁠ to schedule your free call!

Because lasting change doesn’t come from shortcuts — it comes from intentional steps taken over time.

#49: Got Home Renos? Here's 5 steps to FUND them wisely

Becky Eichorst — Mon, 23 May 2022 09:00:31 GMT

In this week's episode, we are diving into how to handle home improvement projects wisely.

So learn from their, AND MY, mistakes so your project doesn't turn into a money pit nightmare. If you take action on an easy 5-step process I layout for you to prepare for your next home improvement project, it will help turn your home turn into your dream house WITHOUT the debt following you around!

#47: For my spenders: Can you ACTUALLY afford that?

Becky Eichorst — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 09:00:46 GMT

In today's episode, I'm specifically talking to all my natural spenders and my free spirits out there. You guys are an ASSET to a marriage especially when your spouse is a natural saver! Because there will be a point where the saver should actually spend money to have some fun in life, so that's where you come in! So there's nothing wrong with spending money if you have it.

But, here's the problem I see with my free-spirited clients...

you may be buying things and spending money you don't have WITH AN UNSTABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION. And eventually what happens to your life over time is similar to a Jenga game. With enough purchases adding up and an UNSTABLE financial foundation, your financial life could crumble.

Where money is going to feel SO tight after a while…..
Where you are feeling HUGE MONEY STRESSES,
Where you could be losing sleep worrying about how you are going to pay for bills coming up,
Or where you could be fighting with your spouse around the money being spent.

So, make sure you have a strong financial foundation FIRST using this quick 3-question checklist I map out in today's episode so that you can know with CONFIDENCE if you can afford that purchase, or not!

#79: When Waiting Costs You More: The Hidden Price of Last-Minute Money Decisions

Becky Eichorst — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 08:49:00 GMT

Have you ever put off a purchase telling yourself, “We’ll deal with it next month”?

And then suddenly… you have to buy it.

A client of mine recently shared this exact story. They had been putting off buying a new mattress for years — even though their sleep, rest, and health were slowly being affected.

Until one day they hit their limit.

Pain, exhaustion, and frustration took over. They walked into the store with a number in mind… but walked out with a monthly payment and an awful feeling of guilt.

It wasn’t reckless. It was reactive.

And even though they could technically “make it work,” they didn’t walk away feeling relieved or proud. Instead, they felt the weight of another payment, a tighter budget, and less breathing room.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m sharing their story and talking about something many families experience but rarely talk about — reactive spending.

We’ll cover:
• Why waiting too long to plan for purchases can backfire financially and emotionally
• How reactive spending quietly sneaks up on even the most responsible families
• Simple, practical steps you can take now so future purchases feel planned, peaceful, and guilt-free

Because the goal isn’t just to buy what you need — it’s to feel confident, calm, and in control when you do.

If you’ve ever delayed a purchase and then felt the pressure when it couldn’t wait any longer, this episode is for you.

#84: Stop Tracking Your Money. Start Making Moves.

Becky Eichorst — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:49:57 GMT

Are you tracking your money, checking your bank account, and knowing exactly where your money went, but still not making progress?

In this episode, I'll share a simple story about doing a puzzle with my mom and how it made me realize we can do the same thing with our money: organize, track, and move things around without actually moving forward.

Tracking is a tool, not the goal.

Instead of constantly asking, “Where did my money go?” I challenge you to ask, “Where does my money need to go?”

Learn how to stop simply managing your money and start giving it direction today, so you can make real progress toward what matters most.

#48: For my SAVERS: are you sure you can't afford it??

Becky Eichorst — Mon, 16 May 2022 09:00:08 GMT

As a saver let me ask…..are you SURE you can't afford it?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my savers who are GREAT at stashing their money away, but are terrible at actually SPENDING IT! So many times I hear clients say,

"We don't have the money for that" or
"We can't afford it."

But here's the problem with this....these answers are usually knee-jerk reactions based on emotions. They are guesses because sometimes we can't shake that "broke mentality" where even though we are making financial progress and freeing up money, we don't act that way. We act like we are still broke!

So in today's chat, we'll walk through how to:

feel secure with our money
know what type of purchase is easier for a saver to spend on
make decisions by acting on fact instead of relying on emotions
prove using our numbers one way or another if we can actually afford that purchase

So if this sounds good, then grab a seat and let's chat through this!
