How often do you stop to consider that your hormones might be the ones clicking "Add to Cart"? We like to pretend money is just logic and spreadsheets, but let’s be real: it’s emotional, it’s messy, and it’s never just about the numbers. If you’re tired of carrying the weight of old financial mistakes or wondering why you’re stuck in the same self-sabotaging loops, this episode is your manual for a reset. Today, we’re joined by Shannah Game, a CFP and Money Therapist who bridges the gap between your brain and your bank account. Get ready to ditch the shame, kill the stress, and finally build a relationship with money that actually feels good. Today we discuss: 

  • How even successful folks feel stressed about their money
  • Importance of communication with your parter
  • Understanding and enjoying the financial journey in addition to goals
  • Identifying ‘enough’
  • Recognizing the ways you’re crushing it
  • Financial growth accompanied by emotional growth
