Budgeting that Actually Works (and fits your life!) - Part 1 of 4 Financial Confidence Bootcamp

Money and love don’t come with a rulebook—but they do come with plenty of emotions, power dynamics, and unspoken expectations. 

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, I sit down with Heather and Douglas Boneparth, the husband-and-wife team behind the new book Money Together. 

Heather, a lawyer-turned-writer, and Douglas, a nationally recognized financial advisor, share candid insights about the real challenges couples face when it comes to money—and how to turn those challenges into stronger, more equitable partnerships.

You’ll hear: 

 Why “trust” isn’t enough when one partner disengages from money decisions. 

 How caregiving and emotional labor factor into financial fairness. 

 The biggest money missteps couples make (and how to avoid them). 

 How to move from financial independence to true interdependence without losing yourself. 

 Why “fair” doesn’t always mean “even”—and how to redefine equity when income levels differ. 

 How to start money conversations earlier in dating to gauge compatibility. 

 Practical ways to bring more joy and balance to your financial life as a couple.

If you’ve ever wondered how to merge love and money without resentment, hidden debt, or endless fights, this episode will give you the tools and inspiration to start building wealth together.

Money Together: Building Love, Equity, and Wealth Without Keeping Score

Leaving a marriage isn’t just a legal process — it’s an identity shift. And when money, kids, and years of investment are on the line, the decision can feel impossible. 

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari Rash sits down with Kate Anthony — author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage and host of the critically acclaimed Divorce Survival Guide Podcast.

Kate opens up about her own journey from what looked like a “perfect” marriage on the outside to recognizing emotional abuse and gaslighting behind closed doors. 

Together, Shari and Kate unpack the hidden fears that keep women in unhappy relationships, the role of money in staying or leaving, and why communication breakdowns are rarely about numbers but about values.

You’ll walk away with:

 Why money fears and financial dependency keep women stuck in marriages longer than they want to be 

 How your earliest “marriage memories” and “money memories” shape the choices you make as an adult

 The difference between spender vs. saver conflicts — and how to finally speak the same financial language as your partner 

 How to shift from “we” to “me” when divorce forces a new money mindset

 The #1 reality check Kate says every woman should face before deciding to stay or leave

Whether you’re happily married, questioning your relationship, or just want to better understand the money-relationship connection, this conversation is packed with wisdom, humor, and hard truths.

Building Wealth for the Long Term: 9 Investing & Retirement Lessons That Actually Work. 40 Money Lessons for 40 Part 4

Are you drowning in “stuffication”? It’s that suffocating feeling when your home is so overrun with clutter that it steals your focus, your joy, and even your financial security. 

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, I sit down with professional organizer Mary Beth MacKinnon to uncover why clutter is never just about stuff—it’s about emotions, money, and the stories we attach to our belongings.

Mary Beth explains why pantries become money pits, how subscription boxes and impulse buys fuel the clutter cycle, and why storage units are really just “renting a house for your crap.” 

We dive deep into the psychology of guilt, nostalgia, and overconsumption—and talk about practical systems and mindset shifts that can help you stop overspending and start living lighter.

You’ll hear: 

 Why “stuffication” happens and how to know when clutter has crossed the line into overwhelm 

 The hidden financial costs of clutter (from subscription traps to storage units) 

 Why emotions like guilt and shame keep us stuck with things we don’t even use 

 Smart strategies for breaking the buy-more-organize-more cycle 

 How decluttering your home can also declutter your finances and free up money for what really matters

If you’ve ever stood in front of an overflowing closet or pantry and felt paralyzed, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on—and give you tools to clear the clutter for good.

Too many women entrepreneurs are hustling hard, making sales, and still not seeing the money hit their personal bank account. Sound familiar? 

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari Rash sits down with Danielle Hayden—Co-Founder and CEO of Kickstart Accounting—to unpack the myths, mindset blocks, and money mistakes that keep successful business owners stuck.

Danielle shares why it’s irresponsible not to pay yourself, the real difference between a bookkeeper, tax accountant, and CFO-level support, and how to use your numbers as a story—not a math problem—to make better decisions. 

You’ll learn where most women overspend (and underspend), how to balance business needs with household needs, and why hiring the right money team can transform your business into a sustainable source of wealth.

You’ll walk away knowing: 

 Why saying “I’m not a numbers person” is keeping you broke in business

 How to structure your money team (bookkeeper, tax accountant, CFO, and more) 

 The percentages you should be spending on payroll, marketing, and operations 

 What to do if your business is seasonal or cash flow feels lumpy 

 How to stop the shame spiral and finally pay yourself confidently

The #1 Money Mistake Female Entrepreneurs Make: Not Paying Themselves with Danielle Hayden

Turning 40 has me thinking about the money lessons that actually matter — not the flashy hacks, but the real, sometimes boring, strategies that keep your financial life from falling apart. 

In part three of my 40 Money Lessons at 40 series, I’m digging into debt, credit, and protection — the unsexy side of money that quietly saves you thousands.

I’ll break down why paying off high-interest credit cards is the best guaranteed return you’ll ever get, how lifestyle creep sneaks up with an “I deserve this” disguise, and why carrying a balance on your credit cards is the ultimate wealth killer. 

I’m also sharing the protection strategies most people ignore — from freezing your credit (free, easy, and way more effective than monitoring) to keeping disability insurance because your income is your biggest asset, and adding umbrella insurance once your net worth grows.

You’ll walk away knowing:

 Why killing high-interest debt beats almost any investment strategy 

 How to recognize lifestyle creep before it drains your wealth 

 The golden rule of credit cards (hint: the magic number is zero)

 The simplest way to stop identity theft before it happens

 Why insurance may be boring, but it’s the backbone of financial freedom

These aren’t the lessons that get headlines or TikTok views, but they’re the ones that give you real peace of mind — and by 40, I’ve learned peace of mind is worth more than any hot stock tip.
