New bank might be the easiest. Maybe leave 100$ in the old one and see how long it lasts. Then say nothing at all.

100% yes, disconnect it.
The potential resentment from her having no money and being able to see yours is incredible. Not to mention the temptation of transfering..."He'll understand...we'll pay him back..."
If your mom takes offense...you need to have a calm, serious, adult conversation with her - not a reactionary one. If that conversation can't happen, there are much deeper issues than r/rpersonalfinance is qualified for -> r/relationships
Edit: Reread OP.. WAIT WHAT? She will transfer money without asking first??? No, no, no , no ,no. 100% unacceptable unless you already have an agreement in place for that.

Pick a safe amount per month to treat yourself. 50, 100, 200 whatever works for your income and budget.
Eat out, buy hobby stuff, something new to replace something worn.
Save for a nice vacation too or something.

I was never really a fan, but "we'll make great pets" gets stuck in my head now and then, 30 years later.

Ha, no - about humans being idiots and eventually becoming pets to some sort of overlord.
"Will there be another race to come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do better than we've done..."

"Due Dilligence" is a term you may not soon forget.
Lesson learned.
Be careful about how you view your money. 60hr workweeks can give you a false sense of income. Its not always sustainable.
