Welcome to Grounded and Gaining!
Financial Freedom for Stay-at-Home Moms (Yes, It’s Actually Possible!)
Hey there! I’m Elissa.
Your financial freedom companion.
Let me guess:
- You chose to be home with your kids (amazing decision, by the way!)
- Your family budget feels tighter than your pre-pregnancy jeans
- The words “investing” and “side hustle” sound great… but where do you even start?
- You’re wondering if financial security on one income is just a Pinterest fantasy
I’ve been exactly where you are. From drowning in $120,000 of student loan debt to creating a comfortable life on (mostly) one income—and now I get to stay home with my kids because of our financial choices.
