She’s Talkin’ Money — Business
She’s Talkin’ Money

You make good money. You save. You contribute to retirement. On paper, you are doing well. So why do you still feel unsure whether you are making the right decisions with your money?

She’s Talkin’ Money is the personal finance podcast for women who have outgrown basic budgeting advice and want more clarity about what comes next.

Hosted by financial planner and money expert Shari Rash, the show helps you understand how to put your money to work through smarter investing, retirement planning, saving, tax strategy, and intentional spending.

You will also hear honest conversations about the emotional side of money: fear, guilt, comparison, financial independence, over-saving, and why earning more does not always make you feel more secure.

Expect practical solo episodes, expert conversations, and real money questions designed to help you stop second-guessing yourself and start making financial decisions with more confidence.

Because doing well on paper should feel good in real life, too.

Previously known as Everyone’s Talkin’ Money.

Mindset vs. Circumstance — Why Your Money Stress Isn’t Always About the Numbers, Talkin’ Money Unfiltered with Scarlett Stanhope Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

In this first Talkin’ Money Unfiltered episode, Scarlett Stanhope (aka The Biz Hippie) joins me for a no-script, no-rules conversation about a question we should all be asking: is your money stress really about your circumstances… or is it about your mindset?

We dig into the difference between what you can control and what you can’t, why reframing sacrifice as choice changes everything, and how to stop feeling like a victim of your bills, grocery prices, or rent. Along the way, we share real-life examples — from CSA memberships to Cheez-It snack hacks — that prove small decisions can shift your whole financial perspective.

You’ll hear:

How to tell if your money struggles are mindset-driven or truly circumstantial
The hidden power in recognizing your everyday financial choices
Why “sacrifice” can be a mindset trap — and how to turn it into empowerment
Real-world examples of finding flexibility without feeling deprived

"Kids These Days" Aren’t Broke Because of Avocado Toast: The Real Story Behind Generational Money Gaps Aug 09, 2025

Show notes

Every generation loves to complain about the next one—lazy, entitled, wasting money on gadgets and brunch. But here’s the truth: young adults today aren’t just making different choices—they’re playing a completely different financial game.

In 1970, over half of 30-year-olds in America were married and owned a home. Today? Less than 15%. And it’s not because everyone suddenly decided marriage and mortgages were overrated. It’s the fallout from decades of policy decisions, wage stagnation, and skyrocketing costs that have made the old “American Dream” a whole lot harder to reach.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reasons why hitting financial milestones looks different now, and why “just work harder” is the worst advice you can give someone trying to buy a home in today’s economy.

You’ll hear:

The shocking drop in homeownership rates for 30-year-olds since the 1970s

How wages, housing prices, and student debt have completely shifted the financial landscape

Why avocado toast is not the problem (and what actually is)

How generational misunderstanding keeps us from creating solutions that work

Practical ways both older and younger generations can bridge the gap

It’s time to stop blaming brunch and start looking at the real math.

Is Over-Saving Hurting You? How Money Dysmorphia Hides in Habits That Look ‘Responsible’ Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

We often applaud people who save aggressively, track every penny, and avoid debt at all costs. But what if those habits are actually symptoms of something deeper—something that’s quietly holding them back?

In this third episode of our Money Dysmorphia series, I’m joined by Ashley Franklin, Vice President of Branch Operations at SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, who breaks down the hidden emotional roots of financial behaviors that look healthy on the outside but may be quietly sabotaging our well-being.

From over-saving and chronic budgeting to the fear of investing and the myth of “having enough,” this conversation is a powerful reality check. We talk about growing up with layaway, modern-day buy-now-pay-later traps, and the impact of comparison culture on our financial choices—especially for Millennials and Gen Z navigating money in an always-on, influencer-saturated world.

You’ll walk away with:

A new understanding of how over-saving can create financial stress instead of security

Why budgeting to the extreme can backfire—and how to build in breathing room

The emotional roadblocks behind fear of investing

How income ≠ wealth, and why self-worth often gets tangled in both

The power of creating a “Board of Directors” for your life—and how to pick the right financial confidantes

Why separating fact from feeling is the real key to healing money dysmorphia

This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Am I being smart with my money… or just scared?” Let’s unpack it together.

Show notes

We don’t just have money problems—we have money perception problems.

In Part 2 of our three-part Money Dysmorphia series with Backbone, I’m joined by Melissa Burleson, a certified financial counselor at Tarrant County’s Credit Union, who brings nearly 20 years of wisdom, service, and heart to this conversation.

Melissa knows firsthand how money dysmorphia—our distorted view of our financial reality—can sabotage even the smartest budgeter or most determined saver.

We talk about how money dysmorphia can swing both ways—from feeling constantly behind despite doing all the right things, to overspending and living beyond your means to project financial success. And Melissa shares powerful personal stories, real-life coaching moments, and practical tools to start shifting from emotional chaos to financial clarity.

You’ll walk away with:

A deeper understanding of the emotional triggers behind overspending and avoidance

How generational money beliefs and social media comparison fuel money dysmorphia

Why many people tie their self-worth to a credit score—and how to break that cycle

How to recognize when emotional thinking is clouding financial decisions

What it takes to move from “I’m bad with money” to “I trust myself with money”

Show notes

Do you feel broke, even when your finances say otherwise? Or maybe you’ve been spending like you’ve already “made it”—but your bank account hasn’t caught up? That distorted perception has a name: money dysmorphia.

In this first episode of our special three-part series, I’ve partnered with Backbone, a national coalition of credit unions, to explore how emotional and psychological misperceptions around money are impacting millions of Americans—especially Millennials and Gen Z.

Our guest is Nicole Andrushko, VP of Marketing at Westerra Credit Union, who’s on the frontlines of financial storytelling and education.

Nicole unpacks how social media, comparison culture, and pressure to hit traditional milestones are warping our self-perception—and how credit unions are stepping in to help people see the truth of their financial health and take confident steps forward.

You’ll walk away with:

A clear understanding of what money dysmorphia is and how to spot it in yourself or others
The real reason high-achieving, financially stable people still feel “behind”
How credit unions are uniquely equipped to help people shift their mindset
Simple, habit-based ways to start repairing your relationship with money
Why emotional support is just as critical as financial tools in combating distorted financial thinking
