Everyone's Talkin' Money | Personal Finance Tips To Stress Less and Live More

You’ve got the budget app. You’re reading the personal finance books. You know what you should be doing with your money—so why does it still feel so hard to follow through?

In this Best of 2025 episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari breaks down six sneaky psychological biases that shape your money decisions without you even realizing it. From anchoring to optimism bias, these aren’t personal flaws—they’re predictable brain glitches. But once you spot them, you can stop them.

You’ll walk away understanding:
What anchoring bias is and why it makes that $100 dress feel like a steal (when it’s not)
Why the fear of losing money feels worse than actually losing it—and how that keeps you stuck
How your brain protects old money stories through confirmation bias
Why instant gratification keeps winning, even when your future self is begging you to chill
How optimism bias tricks you into thinking “next month” will magically fix everything
Why social proof bias is fueling lifestyle creep—and what to do instead

This is the episode that will make you pause mid-scroll, mid-spend, or mid-self-doubt and say, “Ohhhh, that’s what’s going on.”

If any of these biases hit home, share the episode with a friend and DM Shari @everyonestalkinmoney to keep the conversation going

Scarcity Isn’t About Money—It’s About Self-Trust

If you’ve already blown your holiday gift budget… breathe. You are not the only one scrolling through your cart at 11 p.m., refreshing the screen, praying the total magically drops by $200. Your holiday spending didn’t “get away from you.” It sprinted off in glitter-covered sneakers — and today we’re going to get you back in control.

In this episode, Shari breaks down why the holidays turn even the savviest women into overspending zombies, how guilt and obligation collide with Pinterest-level expectations, and what really causes December budgets to explode (hint: it’s not just the gifts). 

You’ll learn how to rebuild your gift budget in 10 minutes, how to set real boundaries with group gifts and family expectations, and what to do right now if you’ve already overspent.

We’ll also dive into the forgotten budget busters — the holiday parties, school events, matching pajamas, cookie swaps, travel incidentals, and “small traditions” that add up faster than a Target cart on a Tuesday. And yes, we’ll walk through a step-by-step damage-control plan so you can fix this month without sacrificing your entire January.

If you want more practical, shame-free money help (and frankly, fewer financial plot twists in December), join the newsletter at everyonestalkinmoneypodcast.com. And if you’re ready for personal planning support designed for real life, not Pinterest perfection, connect with Shari at GWAwealth.com to build a financial plan that won’t collapse at the first sight of twinkle lights.

– The three essential “Money Guardrails” every woman needs 

– How comfort turns into vulnerability (and how to stop it)

Money Blindspots: Why Smart Women Get Caught Off Guard

In Part 2 of this intimate conversation, Shari continues her discussion with Carl Richards, the New York Times “Sketch Guy.” If Part 1 was about the behavior behind money, Part 2 is about the beliefs behind your life.

Carl opens up about how his simple sketches began, how a single comment from his wife reshaped his entire career, and why permission—not math—is often the missing piece in big financial and life decisions. 

He shares unforgettable stories, including the woman who left her prestigious Wall Street law job to return home and help her father run the family farm—because Carl granted her the “permission” she already had inside her.

Shari and Carl also dig into fear, impostor syndrome, our inherited money stories, and why most of us wait far too long to trust what we know is true about our lives.

This is the kind of conversation you don’t just listen to—you feel it.

You’ll walk away with: 

– Why permission is often the bridge between intention and action 

– The emotional patterns that keep people stuck 

– How fear shows up at every major life moment 

– The story behind Carl’s famous sketches 

– The one money belief Carl would give his 25-year-old self 

– Shari’s own reflections on her younger self

—and what she wishes she knew

Shari closes the episode by sharing how Carl’s influence shaped her practice, her philosophy, and the human-centered way she guides clients inside GWA Wealth.

Permission Granted (Part 2): Fear, Freedom, and Writing a New Money Story with Carl Richards

Money doesn’t behave the way math does—and no one knows that better than today’s guest, Carl Richards, the New York Times “Sketch Guy” and author of The Behavior Gap. In Part 1 of this powerful two-part series, Shari Rash, sits down with Carl to unpack the exact moment he realized that investing is less about spreadsheets and more about psychology, fear, wiring, and real-life behavior.

Carl shares the story of stumbling into finance by accident, landing on the trading floor during the Netscape IPO frenzy, and discovering firsthand that humans—not numbers—drive markets. 

Together, Shari and Carl explore why smart, capable people still buy high, sell low, and spiral during market chaos… and what it actually takes to become a better investor.

If you’ve ever wondered why the “right financial move” can feel impossible in the moment, this episode will make you exhale. The problem isn’t you—it’s human nature.

You’ll walk away with: 

 Why money decisions rarely follow logic 

 How your hardwiring pushes you toward emotional investing 

 What it really means to become a “good investor” 

 Carl’s “Deeper Yes” framework to avoid panic-selling 

 How Shari uses this work inside GWA Wealth to help clients stay grounded

Recession Core, But Make It Personal: How to Thrive Without the “Cost of Comfort”

If wealth is up, why is happiness down?

In this soulful episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari sits down with educator and award-winning author Jeff Golden to explore one of the biggest contradictions in modern life: we have more money than ever, yet we’re more disconnected and unfulfilled.

You’ll hear: 

Why money only accounts for 2–4% of happiness 

What really drives our well-being (and it’s not what you think) 

How our culture of consumption is numbing us, not fulfilling us What “enough” actually looks like—and how to know when you’ve reached it 

Why micro-actions are more powerful than big life overhauls 

How to model a healthier money narrative for your kids (and yourself)

Reclaiming the Sacred, Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World was named Best Environmental Book of 2023 by IndieReader, and winner of the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards (previous winners include the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown, and Barbara Kingsolver).
