Stop Being Mean to Your Money: Mindset Shifts for Financial Freedom

Are you mean to your money? If money were a person, would it actually want to hang out with you—or would it be ghosting your calls?

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari Rash takes you on a deep dive into the surprising ways we mistreat our money without even realizing it—and how to turn things around.

From ignoring bank statements to impulse spending to never asking for the money you’re owed, these everyday habits can add up to what Shari calls financial neglect and abuse.

But here’s the good news: money doesn’t hold grudges. The moment you start treating your money with attention, respect, and consistency, it begins to show up for you in powerful ways.

You’ll hear:

• Why thinking of money as a relationship changes everything
• The sneaky ways you might be disrespecting your money (and yourself)
• How financial avoidance, inconsistency, and comparison keep you stuck
• Practical strategies to build trust and treat your money like a valued friend
• A simple reflection exercise to reframe your money habits without shame

If you’ve ever felt like your financial life is chaotic, avoidant, or just plain complicated, this conversation will help you reset your mindset and build a healthier, more supportive relationship with your money.
