Everyone's Talkin' Money

Day 9 of 12 Days of Holiday episodes: Money trauma is real, and you most likely have experienced a version of it in your life. Ever spend too much on something because it makes you feel better? Ever feel stuck in the same money patterns as your parents? Ever hold on to money tightly out of fear of spending it or just losing it? These are all examples of money trauma that our guest, Christina Foxwell, author of the new book Glass Angel, says we all go through. So, how can you deal with money trauma and not let it get in the way of all the things you want to do in life? It’s tricky, but it can be done. In this episode, Christina will walk you through exercises to let go of money trauma, she’ll explain how to find your triggers that lead to spending money when you don’t want to, and through her story, you’ll learn how to face your money story head-on to find healing and how to avoid feeling like your life is what she calls a shit magnet.LINKSThe Glass Angel BookChristina's websSPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

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.LinksIlluminate Wealth ManagementSPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

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.LINKSRIP Medical DebtSupport a Medical Debt CampaignSPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

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.LinksThe Cathy Heller PodcastCathy's websiteSPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

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.LINKSMoney RipplesSPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.

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.LinksEV Life  SPONSORSThanks to Monarch for sponsoring the show. ​​After trying out Monarch for myself, I understand why it’s the top-rated personal finance app. Listeners of this show will get an extended thirty-day free trial when you go to www.monarchmoney.com/ETM. Thanks to Uncommon Goods for sponsoring the show.
