⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Rated Across Every Podcast Platform
Are you tired of debt calling the shots, bills running your day, and groceries eating your paycheck? If you want to unleash your cash flow, a simple way to budget with no confusing spreadsheets, and finally feel in control of your money, that is exactly what this podcast is about.
I’m Diana — financial coach, creator of the 2-Line Budget™, and a mom to a son with Down syndrome. I don’t teach from a quiet or perfect life. I teach from inside the mess: the responsibilities, the advocacy, the emotional load, the unpredictable days. Every strategy here is shaped and tested by real experience for real moms of special needs kiddos.
I built Simple Money Systems for moms raising children with special needs who carry emotional, mental, and financial responsibility every day. It’s designed to simplify money decisions, reduce pressure, and provide clear structure—so finances stop adding to the load and start supporting the life you’re holding together. With these systems, your dreams can take shape, and you can build a future that reflects your goals.
Here you’ll get simple systems, real-life examples, mindset shifts, and weekly encouragement to help you:
💰 Stop living paycheck to paycheck and gain a predictable cash flow
💰 Pay off debt even when money feels tight
💰 Pursue your dreams and create a future that reflects your goals.
If you want peace over perfection, simple systems over stress, and progress that actually fits your life, this podcast is for you where being “good at math” isn’t required. Extra discipline won’t fix it. Another complicated budget isn’t the answer. What matters is a system that actually understands your life — and maybe a cup of coffee you didn’t reheat three times. Welcome to Simple Money Systems. Press “Play”.
