Everyone's Talkin' Money

Ever wondered how you are never left with any money each month, even though you have a budget? In this episode, I'm featuring a Budget Rescue with Robert, who asks: "Hi Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. BTW I love the new name of the show. This is one of the only places I feel like we can listen to all different types of conversations, and you always surprise me with the topics. It’s so cool. I’m writing to see if you could give me some insights into my monthly budget. Here’s my snapshot - I make around $5K per month and have a fairly stable job, at least I think so. I know that I should have around $350 - $500 a month left over, but the problem is that I don’t each month, and I can’t figure out why. You’re super good at helping people with their budgets, so I was wondering if you could give me some pointers and thoughts on what I might be missing or not including here. I’d like to be able to save some money for my ER fund every month and put some into a travel savings account. Thanks again for this show…it’s helped me so much."Links MentionedBudget Rescue Info Form (Be featured in an upcoming episode)4 Important Factors to Save Money on Your Car Insurance episodeSPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

Today, we're talking about a topic that's not just about numbers; it's about people, fairness, and understanding. That's right, we're talking about pay transparency. Ever wondered how this simple concept can make your work life better? Our guest, Hannah Williams, the creator of the viral sensation Salary Transparent Street, has been hitting the streets asking strangers to share what they do and how much they make. Her mission is to combat discriminatory tendencies in employment and close pay gaps that affect women, POC, workers with disabilities, and the LGTQ+ community. For that, I’m a huge fan of Hannah’s, and I know you’ll be too after our conversation. We'll explore how pay transparency can help shrink the wage gap, create a happier workplace, and promote fairness. Plus, Hannah’s sharing juicy information on what to do if you find out you’re underpaid.LinksSalary Transparent Street website - https://www.salarytransparentstreet.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/SALARYTRANSPARENTSTREET/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@salarytransparentstreetEnter to win a $50 Amazon gift card - https://etmpod.link/review SPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering some of my favorite tips to save money inspired by a question from Brett. This question comes from Brett – "Hi, Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve listened to this show since 2016, and even though you’ve changed it up over the years, it’s still one of my favorites. There are a lot of dude money podcasts, but I really like a softer approach and one that feels very non-judgmental. So thank you. I’m in my late 30s and doing pretty well financially, but I always seem to end the month without being able to save a lot of money. Am I doing something wrong? Can you give me any ideas of how much I save and any tips or tricks that you have to save money every month? Thanks a ton.”SPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

Two percent of venture capital money goes toward women-owned businesses. Still, in 2023. It’s still somewhat shocking to me. Our guest, Melody McCloskey, co-founder and CEO of StyleSeat, the premier platform for booking beauty and wellness appointments, is one of those lucky 2 %. She started her business in 2011, ironically right next to the two Instagram founders who would ask her thoughts on what Instagram photo filters she liked. As a woman, she’s learned how to grow a business from the ground up and push through the boundaries of being a female tech business owner, what you need to know to pitch yourself for venture capital funds the right way, and why it’s so important to have a good money team in place. She’s sharing all the juicy bits in this episode and the money lessons she’s learned.LinksStyleSeat https://www.styleseat.com/m/Melody on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/melody/ 10 Money Questions to Ask Yourself Freebie https://bit.ly/10moneyqTimestamps[00:00:46] Lack of venture funding for women.[00:05:51] Taking unconventional risks in business.[00:09:56] Normalizing talking about finances.[00:11:11] Doubting and building a business.[00:16:04] Founding documents and equity.[00:18:48] Seeking support in starting businesses.[00:24:30] Starting StyleSeat near Instagram founders.[00:28:09] Lack of venture funding for women.[00:30:55] Women's impact on venture capital.[00:34:07] Different paths to success.[00:39:54] Branding and design importance.[00:43:29] Have a clear vision.[00:45:35] More funding for womenSPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

What do you think about manifesting? Maybe you don’t believe it’s possible, or you’ve tried it, and it never seems to work. Kathleen Cameron, a world-famous manifestation coach who has worked with Hollywood celebrities and Wall Street heavy hitters and is the author of, The Best Of Yourself, wants you to know that you can’t just create a vision board and cross your fingers hoping it will all work out. Instead, Kathleen says, “Manifesting is becoming aware of a version of yourself already there and then dialing into that version.” Ok, I’m intrigued. Kathleen and I share a very honest and open conversation in this episode. Kathleen is plus-sized and always felt a lot of shame and guilt around that. Then she discovered manifesting and believed that she could manifest the life she desired while still being plus-sized…and it started to work. Life started to change, and her money situation started to change. She believes you can also create change without changing who you are.In this episode, we talk about: What is manifesting, and how do you do it 9 Ways to Manifest Money How to move past those self-created roadblocks to achieve your money goals No matter how you feel about manifesting, this episode will get you thinking LinksKathleen's website https://kathleencameronofficial.com/ Kathleen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kathleencameronmanifests/ SPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.

Should I get a prenup? A question from Brian and Tracey inspired this episode of Ask Shannah. They have friends who recently got a postnuptial agreement and are curious about how they work and if it makes sense for them. As controversial as they might be, if you're thinking about a prenup or a postnup, the first place you should start is getting some education about these hot-button documents. Jennifer Guimond-Quigley is joining us on this episode to demystify what you need to know about prenups and break down the differences between postnups in a fun and easily digestible way (no crazy lawyer speak here, just a totally educational and enjoyable conversation).LinksLaw Offices of Jennifer Guimond-Quigley5 Signs You Need a PostnupRELATED EPISODESSPONSORSThanks to EarnIn for sponsoring the show.
