It's time to self-sabotaging your money success. Your limiting beliefs and those pesky mindset blocks come from your subconscious mind - in fact, 95%- 97% of your behaviors do. So, if you’ve ever found yourself self-sabotaging your money goals or standing in the way of your success, you’ve got to look at what’s going on in your subconscious.

She has a Ph.D. and over 13 certifications in modalities ranging from CBT, NLP, somatic experiencing, and internal family systems to shadow work and hypnosis.

Living simply is one of the best ways to create wealth (but let's be honest, it's hard to do). Living in only 150 square feet for years, Ryan Mitchell has learned a thing or two about living simply. Ryan's done everything from downsizing to life simplification and designing a life right for you. He built his own tiny house in 2012, learning as he went along, which inspired him to help others in their journey to live small. Today, he still lives in his tiny house full time and off-grid with solar, teaching others how to live. In this reboot episode, we talk about ways to simplify your life, why it matters, how to build wealth by living simply, and how it might be the missing piece to achieving your desired things.

In this passive income episode, part of my week of passive income episodes, you'll learn about another idea for creating passive income.

As our guest, Jocelyn Kelly Reid, Queen of the Relaxed Millions Movement and host of the Queen Flow podcast, just mentioned, you must be good at four steps to build wealth. Chances are you’re like the rest of us: good at a couple of those steps but not so good at the others. So, how do you create change to build wealth? Well, Jocelyn believes the secret is to understand the energy of money. This is the idea that money flows to you based on your beliefs about money, which are imprinted from when you were a kid. I know, hard to believe, right? But it’s so true! In this episode, I challenge Jocelyn to dig deep and show you how to work with the energetics of money and ways to use money’s energy to create change in your life. She’ll share some tangible tips to help you avoid feeling unworthy of money to build life-long wealth.

Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles, the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor, comes in. He has twice used his passive income skills to become financially independent and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this special vault episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people.

You might be thinking, what do sex and money have in common? Well, actually, a lot. I’ve often shared how most of us, including probably you, are stuck in a shame cycle around money. You carry with you stories that come from how you were raised around money and bring those to adulthood without really understanding how they impact your financial journey. Well, the same shame cycle happens with your sex life, and it affects your relationship, just like with money. That’s why I invited Kirsten Trammell, host of The Naked Connection podcast, here to educate you about the intersection of sex and money. In this episode, Kirsten shares the powerful connection between your income and your sex life, why conversations around sex and money are so important for intimacy, and practices you can do to increase abundance and wealth. I’ll be honest: this conversation will blow your mind; it did mine and, hopefully, open you up to a new way of thinking about sex and money - two of the most taboo topics.

Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck? In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A reboot episode, I tackle a question from Laquesha: who wants to start investing but doesn't know where to start? Listen, the financial world wants you to believe that investing is super complicated and hard. However, I want you to know that isn't the case. It's really about picking how you will invest (401K, IRA, Roth IRA, etc.), how much you can invest each month, and what to invest in (which, I promise, isn't really that complicated). In this episode, I'm answering Laquesha's question and pulling in expert advice from Taylor Schulte to help demystify it all for you.

Is it possible to manifest money? Kathleen Cameron, a world-famous manifestation coach who has worked with Hollywood celebrities and Wall Street heavy hitters and is the author of The Best Of Yourself, wants you to know that you can’t just create a vision board and cross your fingers hoping it will all work out.

Then she discovered manifesting and believed that she could manifest the life she desired while still being plus-sized…and it started to work.

Financial challenges are sometimes inevitable, so you must develop a healthy way to manage them and find ways to align your behaviors with your intentions. That's called Financial Wellness. Our guest, Amanda Clayman, is a financial therapist and host of Emotional Investment, an audio series on Audible. Amanda is the real deal. She thinks we must stop moneying so hard and instead develop financial wellness. In her words, learning to assess options, make values-based choices, set loving boundaries, and align behavior with intentions so you can shift money from a “problem to be solved” to a source of empowerment.

You apply and get picked to be on Shark Tank and share your amazing business idea…and let’s take it one step further: you make a deal with Mark Cuban, one of the legendary sharks, to fund your business. This feels like the case scenario. If you know anything about entrepreneurship, it can be a bumpy road - that certainly was the case with our guest, Jayla Siciliano, a Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor and host of the Seed Money Podcast. In this episode, Jayla isn’t sugar-coating the path to entrepreneurial success. She’s sharing how to turn your business idea into a reality and why an entrepreneur’s relationship with money is so important, and of course, I ask her for the behind-the-scenes dish on everything Shark Tank because I’m sure you’re as curious as I am.

You think money is a math problem—if you learned more budgeting apps or listened to more podcasts about investing, you’d be good at money and be able to fix your problems. Newsflash: That doesn’t work. It doesn’t fix anything because money is so much more than math - it’s feelings, emotions, and beliefs. So what can you do? You can learn from our guest, Carl Richards, a Certified Financial Planner™ and creator of the Sketch Guy column, which appeared weekly for a decade in The New York Times and host of 50 Fires podcast. Carl’s recipe for money success looks like mine, which I share on this show. He believes in getting past your money blocks; you must understand what money means to you and where you want to go - what do you want your money to do for you? You’ve got to get to the root of the issue around money and fix that. I’m a huge fan of Carl’s. I’m a guest on his podcast, 50 Fires, today so you can listen to that episode. I want you to throw out everything you think about money and everything you’ve learned and listen closely to this episode. This is the real stuff about money that will help you create change. I know it because I’ve lived it…and so has Carl.

"Why am I financially stuck?" This Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Ronni. Ronni is in a place that you might be able to relate to. Ronni makes good money but finds that they are not coming out ahead every month - moving money back and forth from savings and feeling pretty bad about it. In fact, feeling financially stuck is probably the most common complaint that I hear from people. So, if you're in this same spot, this episode is for you. Let's get you financially unstuck to move closer to your money goals.

You’ve heard the saying that every millionaire has seven streams of income - your job, investment account, maybe a business or real estate, and more. That was my intention when I was in my early 20s to build wealth buckets because it’s what my dad had taught me, which was the way to wealth. But let me tell you, my guest Radhika Paliwal, author of From Ramen Noodles to Riches, reminds me SO much of myself in my early 20s. Radhika is already working on her seven income streams to build wealth and wants to help you do the same. She quickly saw how important figuring out your finances and investing were to building wealth, and her mission is to help you go from ramen noodles to riches. When I say she’s a go-getter, you’ll be blown away by her advice in this episode. In 2022, she wanted to build her 3rd bucket of wealth and buy rental real estate…so she figured it out and made it happen. Here's to helping you build your buckets of wealth.

Do you need a Financial Plan? Ethan Ho, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from Oahu, Hawaii, is here to share the ins and outs of having a financial plan in this vault episode. One of my favorite takeaways from Ethan is where he describes your finances to a plant. As you can see, Ethan and I share a very common belief about money. You need to give it some TLC occasionally and create a plan that works for you and the life you want to live. So how do you do that? Well, Ethan’s sharing the details behind a financial plan, how you can create one, and what to do when life throws you some curveballs and the planning doesn’t go as planned. We also talk about my love of Hawaii, and Ethan shares his favorite guilty pleasure meal if you find yourself in Ohau.

I have a confession. After I suffered from single-sided hearing loss in 2018 and my Dr. suggested I dive deep into self-care, I was under the false belief that true self-care had to cost a ton of money. Acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, wellness supplements, you name it. When we moved to the mountains, I started walking in nature and realized that self-care could look much different than I thought. I’m tired of the narrative that big companies tell us that self-care must be expensive and that you must spend a lot on it. That’s why I asked Taylor Elyse Morrison, founder of Inner Workout, to demystify what self-care truly is for us all. Taylor turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she makes well-being and personal development more accessible. In this conversation, I get to the bottom of what self-care is and how to practice it. We will uncover some simple, easy, affordable, and transformative ways of self-care to help you with whatever you’re going through today.

What’s one of the most overlooked pieces to building wealth? No, it’s not making more money. The secret is in understanding your money story. Your money story operates automatically in the background every second of the day, influencing how you spend and save your money. As our guest Kara Stevens, founder of The Frugal Feminista and author of Heal Your Relationship with Money, says, “Often, the money stories that we have held as adults aren’t even our money stories—they are inherited and unexamined money stories from our childhood.” The truth is your parents honestly were trying to do their best with money. It’s not their fault they got emotionally tripped up by money or made certain choices. But all those choices influenced your money story and where you are today. So, if you want to start growing wealth, you need to start by rewriting your money story and removing what doesn’t fit any longer.

Have you ever wondered why, despite hurdles like the gender pay gap and career interruptions, women who start investing frequently achieve higher returns than their male counterparts? Today on Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with Jessica Spangler, author of "Invest Like a Girl," to uncover the secrets behind this financial phenomenon. We offer insights into how both women and men can harness their unique strengths to thrive as investors. The journey to financial literacy starts early, and the conversations had around the family dinner table can echo into our adult lives in profound ways. Our discussion takes a personal turn as Jessica, and I reflect on the differing financial narratives we were exposed to growing up, how they've sculpted our attitudes towards money, and, more importantly, how we can redefine what it means to be an investor. This episode peels back the layers of investment strategies, revealing that it's not the complexity but the consistency that often leads to success. In this episode, We discuss why women are better investors (and how men can adopt what women do well) How to prioritize your investment accounts and figure out what you should invest in first How to manage risk without breaking into a sweat LINKS Invest Like a Girl book Jessica's website Jessica on TikTok CONNECT WITH SHANNAH Thank you for being a part of our community!

You know the famous stat that half of all marriages end in divorce? That stat is still true for first marriages, while second and third marriages fail at higher rates.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” LINKS Thank you for being a part of our community!

Are you struggling to finally break free from debt? In this Money 101 episode, I’m breaking down how to think about debt, strategies to pay it off, and why being completely debt-free should never be the goal. Just a quick note, this episode is not just for newbies. When I was a working financial planner I worked with people of all ages who just couldn’t figure out how to get a handle on debt. So, you are not alone if you’re struggling with debt. According to CNBC, the average American has over $90,000 in debt, according to 2021 numbers. You'll learn the two strategies to pay off debt, how to deal with the emotions around debt and a deep dive into my debt story.

This episode is dedicated to the much-hated and universally loathed budget. As you can tell, I’m not a fan, either. That’s because I believe that budgeting was never appropriately taught to you, so the fact that you hate budgeting isn’t your fault. It’s like a system set up to fail, so if you’ve never felt you could do budgeting correctly, or the numbers never work out, don't worry. In this vault Money 101 episode, I give you permission to ditch your budget and instead learn the power of tracking your cash.

Money is complicated. This is a common human feeling about money. There’s a lot to think about - how do you spend money to reach your goals, are you saving enough for retirement, what is it with all those investing acronyms, and how do you enjoy life through all the financial ups and downs? Our guest, comedian Paula Poundstone, and host of the Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone podcast, knows a thing or two about life’s financial ups and downs. Paula was in debt for a million dollars and spent years climbing out of it. I know it’s not a laughing matter to be in debt; however, we all must embrace Paula's advice. Life will be tough. Life will throw you some curveballs. But, ultimately, life is to be enjoyed, not spent chronically stressed out about money. In this episode, we talk about why money is so complicated, how Paula navigated being in debt, and her advice on how to find true happiness in your life.

How do you make, save, and invest your way to financial freedom? I’m glad you asked. Our guest, David Greene, host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, real estate investor, and author of 5 books, including the best-seller titled Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat, says you need to focus on saving your money, making more money, and investing in the best place you can. Sounds easy enough, right? So why is it so hard to reach financial freedom? David cautions you to understand your money values, not the ones you borrowed from your childhood - your true money values. David’s advice will radically change how you spend money. He calls this spending from gross, where your subconscious can trick you into thinking you are wealthier than you are. He’s a big fan of making a spending plan and including how much you pay for taxes. I promise you this tip will change how you look at your spending decisions forever. In this episode, we talk about what millionaires know about getting wealthy that we don’t, how to use your paycheck to achieve financial freedom, and, of course, we talk about real estate investing and how to use the current market to your advantage. If you love the BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast, you’ll love this conversation about reaching financial freedom.

If you thought financial scams only happened to older people, I need you to listen to this episode. Financial scams like identity theft and fraud are happening to everyone and scamming people like you out of a lot of money. Did you know that investing scams were the #1 type of scam last year, and cryptocurrency was at the core of many of these investing scams? As our guest Sean Pyles, host of NerdWallet’s Smart Money podcast, said in the intro, “Scammers play on our emotions and make us feel like we’re in a very desperate situation.” Okay, how do you set yourself up to avoid as many scams as possible? Sean shares seriously eye-opening advice in this episode, including why you and your loved ones need a safe word. We also dive into why most financial scams aren’t reported; I give you a hint: it has a lot to do with the role of shame in our relationship with money. I know it’s never fun to talk about financial scams, but honestly, this is a juicy episode you must share with everyone you know. When you’re done listening, head over to the Smart Money podcast and check out their four-part series on financial scams.

Building your confidence as an investor is a journey. The early months and years of your investing journey can feel fruitless and like there isn’t a lot happening. When you first start, every dollar feels precious, and the thought of losing money is downright scary. But as our guest, Anna N’Jie Konte, President of Re-Envision Wealth and host of the Financial Powerhouse podcast, says, “Investing is truly the key to women's financial liberation. Every woman who wants to be at least financially stable, or ideally, abundant, needs to invest.” That’s a bold statement I knew I needed to explore with Anna. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to build confidence as an investor, whether you’re new to investing or a seasoned investor, how to move through money mindset blockages that are keeping you stuck, and why you don’t need to know everything about investing to be a good investor.

What should you do first? Do you invest, pay off debt, buy a house, open a ROTH, start a side hustle, or buy a business? In this solo episode, I share insights from 10 people on what they think you should do with money if you only do one thing. I went out and talked to 10 experts in all fields - career, money, psychology, food, intimacy, and more and asked them this one simple question - if you only do one thing with your money, do this or don’t do this. I must tell you, this was so much fun for me because it was intriguing to see their responses. I promised them I would keep their names anonymous, but I’ll let you know what type of expert they are for context. Links Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

How do you teach your kids about money? A recent survey from Thriving Wallet found that 90% of Americans say money impacts their stress level. How do we change this? It starts by raising kids comfortable with money and giving them the tools to make smart money decisions. Our guest, Adam Carroll, a renowned financial literacy expert, celebrated author, and captivating speaker who has delivered over 1,000 speaking engagements worldwide and has a Ted Talk with over 6 million views, has some ideas on how to teach your kids about money that will change everything for you and your kids. He believes it starts with getting cash in your kid's hands when they are five or six. Give them a dollar per year of their age per week and have them start making money decisions with that money. But there’s a bigger piece here that most of us didn’t understand when we were kids. How you as parents talk about money, interact with money, or don’t talk about money directly impacts your kid's relationship with money growing up and is at the root of how they spend and save money. It’s programmed into us as kids. So, to raise kids who are smart with money, Adam says, you have to be aware of how you, as the parent, interact with money.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics: How to use travel rewards to fly and stay for free. Our guest, Lyn Mettler, discovered in 2015 a way for her family of 4 to use travel rewards to always fly for free. Today, she teaches hundreds of families her simple system through FamiliesTravelFree.com. She thinks she’s saved around $75,000 using her simple point system over the years. That’s some serious cash if you ask me. We talk about it all in this episode, including how to get you to as many places as possible and bring as many people with you for as few points as possible; instead of credit card hacking, you will get an understanding of the right card to put your everyday spending on, why she’s a huge fan of the SouthWest companion pass, and Lyn’s signature tips to save on HALF your next Disney trip. If this is your year to travel, but you’d like to spend as little money as possible, this episode is for you. In fact, you’re going to want to share it with everyone you know because the tips are right on the money. Links Families Fly Free website Thank you for being a part of our community!

When was the last time you found yourself emotionally spending money? In this episode, you'll discover the allure and consequences of revenge spending, a phenomenon many have succumbed to this year (including me). As the pandemic disrupted our sense of control, indulging in shopping provided a dopamine rush that momentarily eased the strain. However, while it may offer solace for our well-being, its impact on our finances deserves scrutiny. Join us in this enlightening summer vault episode as Dr. Jaime Peters, Assistant Dean and Professor of Accounting, Finance, and Economics at Maryville University, sheds light on the concept of revenge spending. Let's explore how to balance spending and achieving financial goals and explore crucial considerations in the face of a potential recession.

What if your thoughts create your results? That’s a powerful question for me. I’ve had a life-long relationship with negative thinking and creating my own money drama. It’s easy for me to think of something positive, but right behind it is a nagging negative thought - what if it doesn’t work out? What if I’m not good enough? What if it all falls apart? Do I really deserve this, etc.? Here’s the kicker, though, as our guest Dielle Charon, certified life coach 7, figure sales expert, and host of the Black, Banked, and Booked out Podcast says - you’ve first got to have the courage even to put that big thought in your brain and help self-coach yourself to success. Now, Dielle is an entrepreneur powerhouse, and we start out the conversation by talking about her strong belief that entrepreneurship is the key to emancipation and why this matters. But whether you’re an entrepreneur, a 9-5 ‘er, or a stay-at-home parent, you’re going to find a lot of life-changing advice in this vault episode, including how to simplify your thoughts around money, the keys to self-coaching yourself, common money mindset blocks, 5 money questions to ask yourself right now, and ways to have both a profitable side hustle and a 9 to 5 job with ease, if that’s your jam.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I'm performing a Budget Rescue for Abigail, who wrote, "I’ve tried everything to reach my money goal of saving $4500 for a trip to Europe I want to take; I’ve eaten mac and cheese for a month, tried furniture flipping, and rented out a room in my house for a few months, but nothing is working.

Did you ever have bad dreams when you were a kid? Maybe you thought something was lurking in your closet or under your bed - the boogie monster. Now, that boogie monster might be replaced by bad dreams about money. Our guest, Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast, is here to remove all those bad money dreams and help you go from financial fear to financial freedom. I get that money might feel scary - it’s a primal need, and you can’t escape it. So, how do you move money out of the scary place? In this episode, Meghan will share some truths and words of wisdom to help you do just that. We talk about why envisioning the future is so important, how planning for the unexpected can actually help money be less scary, and why it’s really okay to like money despite what society might lead you to believe. Whether you’re in full-on scarcity mode or want to feel more confident about your money, this vault episode is for you.

What is a prenup, and do we need one? A question from Brian and Tracey inspired this episode of Ask Shannah. They have friends who recently got a postnuptial agreement and are curious about how they work and if it makes sense for them. As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education about these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups and break down the differences between postnups in a fun and easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).

Have you ever said to yourself, “It’s too late for me to learn about money. I’ll never know enough to get ahead.” or, “I’ve made too many mistakes, I’ll always be in debt,” or “If I just made more money, I’d be a lot happier.” These are very common beliefs that we share about money. Just the other day, I was having a conversation with a friend, and she said, “Shannah, I’m just tired. I’m in my 40s, and I haven’t saved enough money; I feel like a real failure,” so she inspired this episode because I think it’s time we talk about these money beliefs that hold us back. One of the things I love the most about hosting this show for the last nine years is getting to make some really great friends who also host equally amazing money podcasts and bringing them together to talk about money topics that I know are top of mind for you, like this episode. Jordan Grumet, aka Doc G., host of the Earn and Invest podcast, and Joe Saul-Sehy, host of The Stacking Benjamins Show, are joining me to shatter these common money beliefs so they can no longer hold you back from reaching your goals.

We're talking about a topic that's not just about numbers; it's about people, fairness, and understanding. That's right, we're talking about pay transparency. Ever wondered how this simple concept can make your work life better? Our guest, Hannah Williams, the creator of the viral sensation Salary Transparent Street, has been hitting the streets asking strangers to share what they do and how much they make. Her mission is to combat discriminatory tendencies in employment and close pay gaps that affect women, POC, workers with disabilities, and the LGTQ+ community. I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s, and I know you’ll be, too, after our conversation. We'll explore on this vault episode how pay transparency can help shrink the wage gap, create a happier workplace, and promote fairness. Plus, Hannah’s sharing juicy information on what to do if you find out you’re underpaid.

You know, we all are like emotional monkeys that live in the moment regarding money. Have you ever found yourself in the habit of shopping on Amazon late at night only to realize that you don’t really need what you just bought? You are so not alone. The good news, according to Val Agostino, the CEO and co-founder of Monarch Money, the modern personal finance management platform and my favorite personal finance management platform, says this is all part of being a human. The trick to breaking these money patterns is to become aware of the fact that you are repeating patterns from some emotional spot. Awareness of these money patterns is the first step in changing money behaviors. The secret we discuss in this episode is to get emotionally attached to your goals. That is where the magic lives. Get this: if you can emotionally live in the things you really want, the chances of you achieving that money goal are very possible.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.” Thank you for being a part of our community! We couldn't do it without you.

In this vault episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I chat with guest Carrie Bennett about a topic close to many hearts: infertility. We dive into the world of fertility treatments, the high costs involved, and the financial struggles that come with it. But Carrie brings something new to the table - the concept of quantum fertility. She shares how incorporating simple, free practices like aligning with natural rhythms and minimizing artificial light can potentially boost fertility. We also discuss the importance of balance, gratitude, and letting life unfold. Whether you're dealing with infertility or just curious, this episode offers fresh insights on a challenging subject.

How often have you told yourself, “Self, I should be giving money to more needy people. Yes, I really should.” Only to follow that up with, welp, another month went by, and I didn’t give anything. Now I feel bad about myself. Look, let me let you off the hook here. The idea of giving and that your life shouldn’t be selfish is pretty universal. I think we can all agree that we feel some sort of moral obligation to give our money and time to help others. But as our guest, Adam Nash, CEO and co-founder of Daffy, a new fintech platform focused on charitable giving, said in the opening, there are two problems that we all face - how do I build giving into my budget and who do I give the money to? This Paradox has an official term - the generosity gap - which says there is this big gap between people who want to give to charity, but life gets in the way, so you end up not giving. This episode is for you if you’ve put Give More to the Causes that are important to you in 2024 on your to-do list. Adam and I talk about how you can create regular charitable contributions with ease, how to connect to organizations you want to give to, and some clever ways charitable giving can help you at tax time.

In recent weeks, this term, loud budgeting has made its way into the mainstream conversation. So, which camp are you in - shouting loudly about your money goals, or would you rather keep them to yourself? I think we need to talk about it. It’s Friday, and typically, I answer an Ask Shannah question, but this week, something came to my attention that I thought we should talk about instead. So many of you have sent in questions about budgeting, how to do it, how to make it work, and also some questions about how to manage the fears around budgeting - what if you go over budget and someone knows about it or judges you or shames you for how you spend your money. I’m glad you feel safe enough to share those thoughts with me. Money is emotional, and in everyday society, it doesn’t feel safe to talk about those emotions - maybe you don’t even correlate those feelings you have with the underlying cause - money. So that brings us to this idea of loud budgeting. It’s certainly a catchy phrase, but what does it mean, and will it work for you?

Ah, love and money - since it’s the Month of Love, we need to talk about it. Love and money are complicated things that bring up so many different emotions and feelings that are very real. You know what I'm talking about if you’ve ever been in a relationship. And look, even if you don’t talk about money with your partner or keep separate bank accounts, those feelings are still simmering under the surface. That’s where my two friends, Heather and Doug Boneparth, come in. Yep, a couple who talks about money for a living. Doug is a CFP and founder of Bone Fide Wealth. You may recognize him from CNBC and countless articles in popular publications. Heather, his wife, is a “celebrity” in her own right as a writer and former corporate attorney who now runs business and legal affairs for their company. She and Doug have joined forces to create their popular newsletter, The Joint Account, and are working on a second book, navigating the power struggle over money in relationships. In this episode, we collectively roll up our sleeves to have a fun and insightful conversation about how to practically navigate these power struggles and dive deep into some of the most common issues couples have around money, like what to do if one partner wants to splurge on something and the other is admittedly against it. Been there and done that one. If you’re in a relationship or looking to get into one, this episode is just what the Love Dr. ordered.

How many times have you said the following, “I’m really going to focus on saving money this year,” only to find yourself doing quite the opposite? And then there are those sneaky costs in your spending, like countless subscriptions you might not even be using. As our guest, Anne Lester, a retirement expert, media commentator, top-rated speaker, and author of the new book Your Best Financial Life: Save Smart Now for the Future You Want, says most people feel like they don’t have enough money to do the things they want to do, so saving money isn’t a priority. It’s not your fault; you are wired to want nicer things. You are wired to spend money to make yourself feel better - back to my point that money is emotional. Have you ever heard of the hedonic treadmill? It’s the idea that getting nicer things and spending more money doesn’t equate to happiness in the long term. So, if spending more money doesn’t mean more happiness, why not focus on learning how to become a better saver to afford the things you want to do? In this episode, Anne shares: How to master saving money in 2024 Why you need to consider a subscription cleanse Ways to build good savings habits like not spending your entire raise How to use your money personality to help you become a better saver Links Your Best Financial Life book Anne's website Thank you for being a part of our community!

We throw around words like financial literacy, but what does it really mean? If you’re like me, you didn’t grow up learning about money in school and what your parents taught you; I guess you still had many questions when you got to the big, bad, real world. So you were left to figure out how to money on your own, stumbling through paying off debt, saving, and investing money. But is money really that complicated after all? Our guest, Vince Shorb, founder of the National Financial Educators Council, says that the biggest misconception about money is that it’s complicated. If we at least learn the basics, we’ll do pretty well. In this episode, Vince is sharing what it means to be financially literate (and don’t worry if you’re still learning about money, we all are) and why it’s so important that you teach your kids about money from an early age so we can all collectively change financial literacy for future generations.

In this episode of Ask Shannah, I’m answering a question from Laquita. “Shannah, your podcast has saved my life. I can’t tell you what a mess I was before. I felt all over the place and wasn’t motivated, even though I wanted to change things. I was recently talking to my girlfriends about money and how some people, you know who I’m talking about, I’m sure, say we have to follow rules. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I thought it might be interesting to have an episode about some money myths that we’re told are true but aren’t. Thanks again. I recommend your show to everyone…I’m even a bit aggressive about it."

What does it mean to have a financial plan? Is it something that we all need? Ethan Ho, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from Oahu, Hawaii, is here to share the ins and outs of having a financial plan. One of my favorite takeaways from Ethan is where he describes your finances to a plant. As you can see, Ethan and I share a very common belief about money. You need to give it some TLC occasionally and create a plan that works for you and the life you want to live. So how do you do that? Well, Ethan’s sharing the details behind a financial plan, how you can create one, and what to do when life throws you some curveballs and the planning doesn’t go as planned. We also talk about my love of Hawaii, and Ethan shares his favorite guilty pleasure meal if you find yourself in Ohau.

Getting engaged can be a stressful time and a very expensive time. When do you propose? Who proposes to whom? How much money should you really spend on an engagement ring? What if you’ve never really talked about money before? These are just a few questions that our guest Kat McCoy, a hopeless romantic and the owner of Best Kept Jewelry Concierge and Proposal Prep, is here to help you with. I share this story in the episode, but when I got engaged to my husband, Jeff, we mutually bought the engagement ring; I picked it up and then put it on the counter when I got home. Jeff said, “OK, what am I supposed to do with this thing.” I was like, I don’t know, I guess you are supposed to propose. We laugh about it now, but the dynamics of the engagement process, even though exciting, can be stressful and anxiety-filled. In this episode, Kat breaks down the narrative around who proposes to whom, whether your engagement ring is an investment and some important love and money questions to ask your future spouse…before you walk down the aisle.

Have you ever thought, “I’m doing all the “right” things with my money, but I’m still not achieving my goals. What’s going on?” This kind of thinking is very common, and I hear it repeatedly with my money-coaching clients. The truth is we all have some emotional baggage with money. Why? Well, because you are in a relationship with money, for better or worse, that causes some gunk to get built up that needs to be released so you can create healthy money habits and beliefs. Dr. Bradley Nelson, one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness and author of the best-selling book The Emotion Code, is joining us in this episode to talk about releasing trapped emotions so you can bring in abundance and money success. This topic might seem out there for you, but hang with me. I guarantee you are going to learn something about yourself in this episode. We talk about what causes emotional money baggage, some practical ways to lower money stress, and how you rewire all those negative money beliefs that keep you stuck.  I invite you to check out my 10 Mindful Money Questions to Ask Yourself freebie at https://etmpod.link/10moneyq.

Did you know there are three ways you spend money based on your identity? You either spend money to escape, belong, or embrace your identity. Before you go second guessing how you spend your money, our guest, Ellyse Fulmore, author of the new book, Keep Money Personal and a queer and neurodivergent financial educator, content creator, and the founder of Queerd Co., a financial literacy company, wants you to set down the shoulds and the shame around money and start embracing your identity. This powerful conversation about Ellyce’s money journey inspired her book. Ellyce came out as Queer and was diagnosed with ADHD, and this had a profound impact on how she uses her money to show up in the world. We talk about it all, including the impact of shame and societal expectations on your money, why understanding your money story can help you spend to embrace your identity, and how to create a money system that works for your brain. This is such an important conversation, and I hope you’re inspired to share it with your friends so we can start to change the narrative around money.  Links Keeping Finance Personal book Ellyce's website Sign up for Shannah's exclusive workshop on February 7, 2024: Spend with Intention for 2024 Workshop with Shannah https://etmpod.link/spendwithintention Takeaways Shame and societal expectations often lead to negative thoughts and behaviors around money. Understanding our money story and reframing our mindset can help us overcome these challenges. Creating a personalized money system that aligns with our unique needs and preferences is crucial for financial success. Money is deeply intertwined with our identity, and it is important to spend in a way that embraces and supports who we truly are. Financial education should be more inclusive, diverse, and accessible, with a focus on individual experiences and needs. Overcoming shame and shoulds requires open conversations about money, transparency, and a supportive community.

Let's talk about debt. There’s a lot of shame and fear around debt, and much of it is stirred up by money experts who want you to believe that you aren’t good enough unless you are debt-free. Can we please cut the crap and be honest about debt. We all have had it or will have it. It does not reflect who you are or your skills with money. Life happens. You go to school and take on debt. You had a leak in your roof and needed to put the repairs on your credit cards. You went shopping to feel better about yourself. It’s not a crime. Leslie Tayne, a leading New York financial attorney and Founder and Managing Director of Tayne Law Group, says that debt is never a death sentence, contrary to what some will have you believe. This is your masterclass in debt, and this conversation will load you with useful tips and leave you feeling much better about debt in general. In this episode, you will walk away with everything you need to reframe, pay off, and create healthy habits around debt. Leslie and I talk about: What your rights are re: debt collectors (what they can/can’t do) What debt negotiation and settlement options exist (and how it all works) How certain life changes affect debt (loved ones passing, divorce)  How to pay off your debt Links Tayne Law Group Leslie on Instagram SPONSORS Thanks to NerdWallet for sponsoring the show.

Without thinking, tell me your first thought that comes to mind about money. My guess is your thought isn’t super positive. And that’s not your fault. Your brain is always driving what you’re feeling and how you’re acting, and is where all the programming you get from society and your family is stored - especially when it comes to money. This all goes into your brain, and then your brain comes up with its own idea about money. So, you must learn how to rewire your thoughts about money. The reason you don’t change isn’t because you don’t want to. Instead, your wiring about money and your thoughts about money are keeping you stuck. I want you to meet Kara Loewentheil. You might know her as the host of the top-rated podcast Unf*ck Your Brain. She’s also a J.D., a Master Certified Coach, the creator of The Clutch, and the author of a soon-to-be-released book, Take Back Your Brain.  In this episode, we talk practically about how to rewire your money mindset and how to think better thoughts when it comes to your money (like getting rid of needing to hide the stuff you buy) with something Kara calls the thought ladder and something I know you’ll love, how to get out of the scarcity mindset, and so much more.

Let me be real honest with you. There’s only so much you can cut from your spending to change your money situation. So, instead of hyper-focusing on cutting more, I want you to shift your thinking to what could bring in more cash flow. That’s a much healthier way of looking at your money and can change your money situation quickly. Our guest, Whitney Hansen, host of the Money Nerds podcast, knows something about bringing in more cash flow. She has tried and tested many side hustles to find the most profitable and worthy of your time. In this episode, we talk about her most profitable side hustles, and I’m talking ways to bring in $500 - a couple of thousands of dollars a month, why she thinks starting an Airbnb side hustle might not be wise this year, and how to turn your skills and talents into extra cash quickly. Let this be the year you unstick yourself - the year where you create cash flow and move it towards your goals. The year of making money work instead of lamenting that there isn’t enough. Hopefully, Whitney will give you enough of a gentle nudge in this conversation to get the confidence to start. Let’s start talkin’.

I'm not a big fan of money goals. Instead, I like to think about setting money intentions. A money intention is a feeling or a why behind your goal. This feeling or why becomes a strong motivating factor to take all the steps necessary to achieve your goal. Intentions are also focused on your thoughts around money. If you have debt and are always thinking you suck at money, well, your brain isn't super motivated to get rid of that debt. In this annual New Year's episode, I'm sharing how to set your money intentions for 2024, how to deal with those negative nagging thoughts, and exercises to help you release your money mistakes from 2023.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Holiday episodes: In this episode of "Everyone's Talkin' Money," Ben Hockema joins me to explore the idea of how much is "enough" money and what financial security looks like. We discuss how to figure out what is enough for each individual and create a financial plan that allows us to live the life we want. We dive into the detrimental effects of shame marketing and the importance of focusing on untapped potential instead. We also touch on the need to understand our relationship with money and address any shame surrounding it. Overall, we aim to help listeners achieve a calming clarity about their finances and find a balance between current spending and future savings.

Day 4 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Did you know there is $195 billion of medical debt outstanding? And, in fact, medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy here in the U.S. If you’ve been to the hospital or even a Dr. recently, you know, even with insurance, getting healthcare in the country means you often have to pay out of pocket in a big way. The truth is you shouldn’t be put in financial ruin for walking through the door of a hospital or medical provider. We are human beings who all deserve to have affordable and accessible medical care. End of story. However, as our guest, Allison Sesso, Executive Director of RIP Medical Debt, says, “The system wasn’t set up for your success in the first place.” Allison joins us on a riveting episode uncovering the who, what, when, where, and why behind medical debt and offers some great advice if you are currently in medical debt. Some of her advice includes knowing hospital financial assistance programs, never putting medical debt on a credit card, and making sure you know the loopholes in your insurance plan.

Day 3 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Which camp are you in? Money can buy happiness or money can’t buy happiness? I grew up hearing that money can’t buy happiness, but then I saw everyone in my life push hard to make money, hold on tight to money, and not always enjoy money so that all got a bit confusing. Our guest, Jason Vitug, author of the new book Happy Money Happy Life, A Multidimensional Approach to Health, Wealth and Financial Freedom and founder of phroogal.com, believes that money isn’t everything, but it does impact most everything in our lives. So how do you find the balance and put money in its place? In this episode, we’re going to shatter some long-held money beliefs about happiness that just don’t work anymore. Jason also shares why money can buy happiness with a little perspective, how to unlearn all of these false money beliefs and his unique approach to creating happy money and happy life.

It's Day 2 of our 12 Days of Holiday episodes. What does it take to live an abundant life? That feels like a pie-in-the-sky question to ask, but I want you just to entertain the thought for a moment. What does abundance look like to you? While money might be the first thing that pops into your head, I challenge you to think about abundance not simply as a dollar amount but as a way that you want to live your life - what you want to do, where you want to work, how you want to spend your time and how you want to feel. I’ve been super interested in this idea of abundance and how to bring what you want to do in life into reality, so I turned to the abundance expert herself, Cathy Heller. You may know Cathy from her super popular podcast, The Cathy Heller Podcast, or her book, Don’t Keep Your Day Job. Cathy believes that creating true abundance is about this simple formula - your mindset plus action. This episode is a joy explosion full of Cathy’s inspiring words and practical steps to help you start walking in abundance this year. I hope you’re ready.

Day 1 of our 12 Days of Holiday Episodes. Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? It sounds pretty good, but passive income also has some flaws. The problem is when most people talk about passive income it isn’t actually passive income, like buying a business where you actually have to work. The true definition of passive income is to have money coming in when you aren’t working, aka when you’re sleeping money is flowing into your bank account. That sounds pretty great to me. But how do you actually build passive income? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles, the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor, comes in. He has used his passive income skills to become financially independent twice and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people.

Every time I’ve gone to fill up with gas this year I’ve thought, “you know, an electric vehicle would really come in handy.” In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m exploring if electric vehicles can really help you save money and whether they are worth it or not with Peter Glenn, co-founder of EV Life. I’ve done a deep dive into all the incentives and tax breaks, but there’s a lot to know, and it feels like an ever-changing landscape. So when a listener question came in from Alex wanting to know if an EV is indeed worth the price tag, I knew we had to do an episode about it. Since I'm still learning myself, I turned to Peter Glenn, who is a co-founder of EV Life and a serious advocate of electric vehicles. As he says in the conversation, electric vehicles are like savings accounts on wheels. There's a lot to discuss.

Raise your hand. Are you the tightwad or the spendthrift in your relationship? I have to admit, I’m mostly the tightwad but don’t get me wrong, I do love to spend money too. Get this, tightwads are more likely to marry spendthrifts than they are to marry someone like themselves. That’s what motivated our guest, Scott Rick, a behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business to write his new book TIGHTWADS AND SPENDTHRIFTS: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships. He was in search of one answer: can seemingly opposing financial personalities coexist peacefully? In this episode, we’re going to talk about it all. How do you make peace with your partner, what is Financial infidelity, why financial translucency aka not sharing all the details of what we spend our money on could save a lot of partnerships, and how to talk to your kids about money so they don’t mimic your tightwadness or spendthriftness. Grab your partner, or just slide this episode their way after you listen.

Have you ever tried to achieve a money goal and felt like you never made any progress? Or do you walk around feeling completely uneasy about your money situation? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are not alone. You see, money is about more than numbers. It’s about our very complex relationship with money that was set in motion even before we were born, believe it or not. As our much-beloved guest, Ken Honda, says, “It’s like you have a mold in you that attracts a certain relationship with money until you recognize it and start to make changes, nothing else will change.” Ken is a money and happiness expert and a best-selling self-development author in Japan. His book “Happy Money” is one that will forever be on my bookshelf, and if you haven’t read it, now is the time. In this vault episode, Ken shares how to figure out what is enough for you so you aren’t sucked into believing that more is better, how to redefine your relationship with money so you can bring in some ease, and how to do the work to let go of your money fears for good.

Ever feel like a deer caught in headlights when it comes to managing your finances? You are not alone! We've all stood at that crossroads, but today, I'm venturing down the path of financial clarity. We're discussing the crème de la crème of money tools and apps that help you stay on top of your budget, like Monarch and You Need a Budget. I also shake up conventional banking wisdom as I highlight why it's worth considering online banks like Ally Bank and VARO and why avoiding monthly fees can be a game-changer for your financial health. Remember how we all used to believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus? It’s time to debunk another myth: that all banks are created equal. I’ve got news for you: they're not. Drawing on my personal experiences, we examine the features that make an online bank a true ally in your financial journey. We’re not just talking about fee structures or interest rates. We’re talking about aligning your financial values with your bank’s. Plus, for the lovebirds out there, we chat about the unsung benefits of joint accounts. I'm also thrilled to share our favorite books and podcasts, sources of knowledge that fuel my passion for financial literacy. From the timeless wisdom in "The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Wealthy Gardener" to the fresh perspectives from podcasts like "Stacking Benjamins" and "Afford Anything," I'm pointing you toward resources that will empower you to make informed financial decisions.

Let me share a little secret with you - I have a date every week. But this rendezvous doesn't involve candlelight dinners or dressed-up evenings; instead, it involves my money. That's right, I've been practicing the concept of "money dates," and truth be told, it's been a game-changer in reshaping my relationship with money. In this episode, I'll walk you through how I set up my money dates and how you can structure yours in a way that aligns with what you want and makes them enjoyable. I confess, my financial journey has been a roller coaster ride, and money dates have been my safety harness. They’ve provided me with a platform for financial reflection and planning. We'll explore some interesting techniques like setting intentions, creating a money manifesto, and more. And let's not forget about the 'why' of our financial decisions – knowing that can be a powerful motivator during our financial highs and lows.

Have you ever wondered why we eat turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and our favorite veggie dish for Thanksgiving? The Thanksgiving meal has evolved so much since the early 1900s and become the holiday we associate with eating until we can't eat anymore. In this reboot Friendsgiving episode, I sat down with the amazing Katherine Spiers, host of the Smart Mouth Podcast, to find out the history behind the Thanksgiving meal and get to the bottom of our pumpkin-crazed eating trends. Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make the most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.

Open, open, open! You may be too young to remember, but a clothing store named Mervyn’s back in the early ’90s had some great commercials with people camped out by their store just waiting for them to open for the big Black Friday sales day. Now, if you’re like me, you probably don’t go to the store that often on Black Friday. I’d much rather online shop, that is, until I heard what our guest Trae Bodge, our resident shopping expert, had to say about the hefty return fees retailers are now charging. Whether you’re planning to shop online or brave the crowds to score a deal in-store, Trae’s sharing all the tips you need to know, including Trae’s Black Friday shopping rules to get the best buys, her favorite shopping browser extensions to save money like PayPal Honey, my personal fav, and most importantly, how to stay on budget and not go into debt during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You always love Trae’s Black Friday episodes, and this is our third year having her on the show. I learn something new each time myself and this episode is no exception. So while you’re stuffing yourself on Thanksgiving, shoot this episode out to 5 of your friends or share it on your socials so everyone can shop smart this week.

In this episode, we're talking about Dave Ramsey's terrible retirement advice. Let me put myself in your shoes. No matter how old you are, you’re probably saving for retirement. You’re trying to figure out how much you need to save and what retirement accounts are best - do you go 401K or Roth IRA, etc? And the biggest question is, how much money can you take out each year for retirement? And, you’re hoping, fingers crossed, you’re saving enough. Then, the biggest voice in money, Dave Ramsey, comes along and says it’s simple, if you earn 12% each year in your investments, you can safely take out 8% for retirement each year and leave 4% in your account for inflation. Simple, according to his “math.” But it’s not that simple, and it’s mathematically wrong advice - damaging advice if you ask me. Why? Because of pure facts, the stock market's average 30-year return is 9.9% and just 7.3% adjusted for inflation - far less than the 12% return he spouts. His latest rant in response to a caller who wanted to know how much he could take out for retirement each year is the reason for this episode. I called in my two money expert friends, Paula Pant from Afford Anything and Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins, to talk through why this advice is wrong, what moral obligation money experts have to their listeners to get things right, and what you need to know to figure out how much money you should be saving and what a good retirement withdrawal rate really is.

This episode is your ultimate guide to afford the holidays without all the stress and debt that can come with it. With that said, I get that it is hard to do. The holidays always feel like a time when you are expected to spend money, even when you might not have money to spend. Maybe you have a family member who is always trying to one-up your gifts, or you feel pressured to have the best gift for your boss. And what about Dad’s? I never knew a good gift to get my dad, so I always overspent when I could’ve just got him a new t-shirt, and he would’ve loved that. So, I called in my new friend, Pattie Ehsaei. If you don’t know Pattie, she is known as the Duchess of Decorum on TikTok and has a raving fan base. She teaches financial literacy and social and workplace decorum. For the last 22 years, she's had a multifaceted career as a lawyer and manager in financial services and currently stands as Senior Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions Lending. In this episode, Pattie shares her best tips to afford the holidays, why she thinks regifting is socially acceptable(I didn’t even know that was a thing), and how to DIY your holiday decorations and gifts in style.

Today's vault Ask Shannah question comes from Laquesha: "Hi Shannah. Thanks so much for answering my question. I really want to start investing but I keep getting hung up on all the chatter out there. I can’t figure out if I’m supposed to wait to start investing until I’ve paid off all my debt, or is that not smart to do? Also, it just feels like I need to be an expert at investing to do it well. I know that’s not true, but man, it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a killing, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes, I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome and I so appreciate this show for motivating me. My boyfriend can’t believe I care this much about my money, but I just tell him, yes, yes I do and so should you. Ok, thanks again."

It’s National Let’s Talk Money Day, and it’s also my 10-year wedding anniversary today, but let’s focus on the money part. Talkin’ money is what we do every week here on the show, so I’m excited that there’s actually a day dedicated to my mission of making talking about money mainstream. There are lots of different topics we could talk about on Let’s Talk Money Day, but if I had to pick one topic that I think is critical to your money success, it would be getting paid for your value. That is something our guest Anne Mahlum, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, business owner, and philanthropist, knows something about. Raised in a working-class family, there was very little in Anne's childhood that would indicate she would one day be one of the most successful founders in the fitness industry. A true self-made success story, Anne's entrepreneurial ventures have resulted in a personal net worth of over $100M and an impact on thousands of lives. In her new podcast, "How to…with Anne Mahlum", she has been interviewing top business minds and influential people and digging into how their success strategies can be adopted by others. But on this Let’s Talk Money Day, Anne wants to equip you with the how-to’s behind getting paid for your value. We talk about how to adopt a money action plan, how to figure out what monetary value you bring in your career to get paid more, and why we should all stop demonizing money.
