In this week’s episode of Money Talk, I’m joined by Shari Rash, a nationally recognized financial advisor, money mindset expert, and host of Everyone’s Talking Money. Shari has been named a 2024 Best Wealth Manager and Advisor Under 40 by Investment News, and she brings incredible insight into how our mindset shapes the way we save, spend, and feel about our money. Together, we break down why numbers aren’t the whole story, how to use money as a tool to reach your goals, and the small mindset shifts that can completely change your financial life.

Whether you’re someone who avoids money conversations entirely or a super-saver who still feels anxious about spending, this episode will help you understand your emotional relationship with money and give you practical strategies to create a healthier, happier approach. We talk about moving away from extremes, aligning your spending with your values, and the power of awareness when it comes to your first money memory.
