On today's episode: Where do you stand on budgeting? Hate it? Feel defeated by it? You’re not alone—and you’re going to love today’s episode.

We’re joined by Priya Malani, the dynamic founder of Stash Wealth and host of the new podcast The F. Word, who’s making personal finance simpler, smarter, and honestly, more livable—especially for high earners in their 30s who feel like they’re still behind.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why budgeting is broken and how to reverse it with one powerful number
• The myth of homeownership as the best investment
• How to avoid the trap of lifestyle inflation—even on a six-figure salary
• And why investing isn’t hard, but the emotional baggage around money absolutely is

We also explore the emotional side of financial planning—where therapy meets strategy—and the mindset shifts Priya helps her clients make to stop living paycheck to paycheck and start building real wealth.
