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.

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.

What is the Cost of FOMO | Talkin’ Money Unfiltered with Rachel Duncan
What do Ponzi schemes, emotional spending, and IKEA shopping trips have in common? More than you think.
In this Talkin’ Money Unfiltered conversation, I sit down with financial therapist Rachel Duncan to explore the wild history of Charles Ponzi, why scams like Bernie Madoff’s still happen today, and how “easy money” myths lure even the savviest investors.
We also get personal about the emotional side of money—FOMO spending, consumerism as a hobby, and why it feels so intimate (and brave) to finally talk about money with friends.
You’ll walk away learning:
Why Ponzi schemes are built on trust, community ties, and the promise of high returns
Red flags to watch for when evaluating an investment opportunity
How FOMO spending silently taxes your wallet and relationships
Why patience—not quick wins—is the real path to financial security
How talking openly about money can actually deepen friendships and relieve financial shame
Listen to the podcasts we talked about:
Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story
Debt Heads
Whether you’ve ever wondered how smart people get caught in scams, or you just want to feel less alone about your own money choices, this episode is a must-listen.

In this first Talkin’ Money Unfiltered episode, Scarlett Stanhope (aka The Biz Hippie) joins me for a no-script, no-rules conversation about a question we should all be asking: is your money stress really about your circumstances… or is it about your mindset?

Along the way, we share real-life examples — from CSA memberships to Cheez-It snack hacks — that prove small decisions can shift your whole financial perspective.
You’ll hear:
How to tell if your money struggles are mindset-driven or truly circumstantial
The hidden power in recognizing your everyday financial choices
Why “sacrifice” can be a mindset trap — and how to turn it into empowerment
