Everyone's Talkin' Money

In this Ask Shannah episode of "Everyone's Talkin' Money," I'm diving into the debit vs. credit cards debate. We explore the similarities between the two - they both have logos like Visa or Mastercard and can be used for in-store or online purchases. But when it comes to safety, things get interesting. Gas stations, for example, can be risky spots for credit card scammers. That's why using a credit card is generally safer here, as it offers more protection against potential bank account drain. However, personal preference and money habits should also come into play. You'll learn how to figure out what card is right for you.Episode Timestamps:[00:02:30] Recognize and accept the current relationship with money. Use a debit card securely.

Welcome back to the show to our short recap episode of yesterday’s full podcast, How to Self-Coach Yourself Through Money Drama So You Can Achieve Your Goals and Dreams, with Dielle Charon, certified life coach and 7 figure sales expert and host of the Black, Bnaked, and Booked out Podcast.

Dielle walked us through her 5 money questions to ask yourself that will help you get into a better relationship with money, save more, spend better, and achieve your goals. My favorite question was, “How do I organize my money in a way that works for me.” I share a bit about my money-organizing system, so stay tuned to hear that.

What if your thoughts create your results? That’s a powerful question for me. I’ve had a life-long relationship with negative thinking and creating my own money drama. It’s easy for me to think of something positive, but right behind it is a nagging negative thought - what if it doesn’t work out? What if I’m not good enough? What if it all falls apart? Do I really deserve this, etc.? Here’s the kicker, though, as our guest Dielle Charon, certified life coach and 7 figure sales expert, and host of the Black, Banked, and Booked out Podcast says - you’ve first got to have the courage even to put that big thought in your brain and help self-coach yourself to success. Now, Dielle is an entrepreneur powerhouse, and we start out the conversation by talking about her strong belief that entrepreneurship is the key to emancipation and why this matters. But whether you’re an entrepreneur, a 9-5 ‘er, or a stay-at-home parent, you’re going to find a lot of life-changing advice in this episode, including how to simplify your thoughts around money, the keys to self-coaching yourself, common money mindset blocks, 5 money questions to ask yourself right now, and ways to have both a profitable side hustle and a 9 to 5 job with ease, if that’s your jam.LinksBlack, Banked, and Booked Out podcastDielle's websiteDielle on InstagramTimestamps[00:01:14] Thoughts creating your results.[00:04:02] Emancipation through entrepreneurship.[00:08:09] The landscape and fear around entrepreneurship.[00:11:43] Thoughts creating desired results.[00:17:47] Debt and its emotional impact.[00:19:37] Overcoming debt mindset.[00:25:26] Believing in making more money.[00:26:48] Money flow and mindset.[00:31:47] Money blocks and overcoming them.[00:37:20] Earning more and healing.[00:38:23] Changing the story about debt.[00:42:22] Runaway money thoughts.How Shannah Can Help You: Join the Everyone’s Talkin’ Money Newsletter, where you get insider money tips, exclusive content, and takeaways from each episode https://tinyurl.com/etmnewsletter  Ask Shannah a question on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shannahgame/ or TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@shannahgame  Submit a money question for Shannah to answer in an upcoming episode https://tinyurl.com/askshannahq  Leave a 5-star Review here https://ratethispodcast.com/etm  Be a Featured Guest on an episode https://everyonestalkinmoney.com/contact/ Learn more about your ad choices.
