Hey friends! In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Shari Rash from Everyone’s Talking Money, and we get real about all the emotions, shame spirals, and identity shifts that come with setting money goals. If you’ve ever felt like budgeting is a struggle or avoided peeking at your bank account, you are so not alone. This conversation is for you!

We dive into why traditional budgets often fail, how to move from money avoidance to money neutrality, and the magic of aligning your financial goals with your true values (not just what you think you “should” want). Sherry shares her wisdom on making money fun, gamifying your goals, and getting honest about what matters most without the guilt or overwhelm.

I left this chat feeling so much lighter and inspired, and I know you will too! Whether you’re a seasoned saver or just starting to get curious about your finances, you’ll find practical tips and a whole lot of encouragement here. Let’s make money work for us, not against us!
