If you haven't done the steps below, you haven't been very helpful:

1. Sit her down in front of a detailed budget. Walk her through it. Point out how your lives could improve, especially your daughters' opportunities, if you had more income.
Don't do this once, but keep referring to money every time you have the opportunity, when a good example crops up. Don't nag, use real concrete examples as they come. Keep explaining this. it cannot sink in all at once.

2. Examine how her personal life would change, and try to see where the rub is. Is she responsible for most of the housework? Can you get a cleaner?
Is she responsible for scheduling and managing everyone? That's a really tough job to outsource - are you willing to take this on, doctors and practices and rehearsals and meal planning and social events? The actual buying or driving is simple, but the mental burden of juggling it all in your head and staying on top of the calendar is exhausting.

3. Suggest a career coach and head-hunter. Consider whether she has ADHD (disorganization, poor time management) anxiety or something else which is hindering her potential.
