Why Being “Good With Money” Still Doesn’t Mean You Feel Confident
A lot of women are doing the “right” things with money.
They have the job. They save. They avoid bad debt. They keep money in the bank. They are responsible.
But they still do not feel confident.
In this episode, Shari Rash talks with Michelle Taylor, founder of Women In Wealth and host of Talk Wealthy to Me, about the disconnect so many women feel with money: technically doing well, but still
Build a Summer Spending Plan That Lets You Spend Without Regret
Summer has a way of making everyone a little looser with money. Dinners, trips, long weekends, weddings, beauty appointments, beach days, concerts, random Target runs, and that very dangerous sentence: “It’s summer, I’m just going to enjoy it.”
And honestly? You should enjoy it.
But enjoying summer without a plan can turn into an August credit card statement that makes you wonder, “Wait… did I h
Why Your Budget Keeps Failing — And the Automatic System That Actually Works
Budgeting has a branding problem. For a lot of people, it feels restrictive, shame-filled, tedious, and honestly kind of like financial punishment. But what if the problem is not you? What if the problem is that what you’ve been calling budgeting is really just tracking where your money already went?
In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, talks with Shana and Vanessa of Budget Bestie
What Is a Roth Conversion — And How Can You Do It Wrong?
Roth conversions sound smart. Tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals later, more flexibility in retirement — what’s not to like?
Well… the tax bill today. That part.
In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, breaks down what a Roth conversion actually is, how it works, and why “tax-free later” does not mean “free today.” A Roth conversion can be a powerful planning tool, but it can also
The Tax Strategy High Earners Are Missing: How to Stop Playing Defense With the IRS

Before Summer Gets Expensive, Do This Money Reset
Summer spending can feel casual… until the trips, camps, dinners, Target runs, kid expenses, travel plans, and “let’s just enjoy it” purchases start stacking up.
In this episode, Shari Rash walks you through the money reset you need before summer gets expensive. Because the problem usually isn’t one dinner, one weekend away, or one camp payment. The problem is everything piling up without a clear
Why Your Money Keeps Disappearing Even When You’re Not Being Irresponsible
Have you ever looked at your bank account or credit card bill and thought, “Wait…where did it all go?” You didn’t book a luxury vacation. You didn’t buy anything wildly irresponsible. You were just living your life — grabbing dinner, ordering the kid thing, paying for subscriptions, making the Target run, upgrading the trip, saying yes to the social plan — and somehow, your money disappeared.

Stop Letting Tax Mistakes Quietly Slow Down Your Wealth
Taxes may not be the most exciting part of your financial life, but if you’re earning well, investing, running a business, or trying to build wealth, they cannot be a once-a-year panic event.

Why Making More Money Still Isn’t Making You Feel in Control
What if making more money isn’t actually solving your money stress?
In this episode, Shari is breaking down why a higher income doesn’t automatically create more clarity, confidence, or control. Because here’s the truth: more money can help, but only if your system knows what to do with it. Otherwise, that extra income can quietly disappear into lifestyle creep, convenience spending, emotional sp
Start Investing This Year Without Overthinking Every Decision
If you’ve been telling yourself, “This is the year I’m finally going to start investing,” but somehow another month goes by and you still haven’t done anything, this episode is for you.

Your Spending Doesn’t Match Your Values—Here’s How to Fix It
Have you ever looked at your bank statement and wondered where your money actually went?
Not in a dramatic, “I’m terrible with money” way—but in a quiet, uncomfortable way. The kind where you realize your spending doesn’t quite reflect what you say matters most to you.

What to Do After You File Your Taxes: 5 Smart Money Moves to Make Now
You filed your taxes, hit submit, and finally took a breath. But filing your return isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting signal.

Why You Keep Repeating the Same Money Mistakes (And How to Break the Cycle)
You can be earning good income, paying your bills, and trying to budget—and still feel like you’re stuck in the same financial patterns over and over again. Overspending when you’re stressed.

Don't Buy That Investment Just Because You Heard About It on a Podcast
Have you ever bought a stock, ETF, or fund because you heard about it on a podcast, saw it in a newsletter, or watched someone talk about it online?
You’re not alone—and you’re not wrong for wanting to learn more about investing. But there’s a hidden risk that most people don’t realize: the problem usually isn’t the investment itself. It’s making financial decisions without a strategy built for y

Why Budgeting Fails for High Earners (And Why Your Money Still Feels Messy)
You make good money. You’re saving, investing, and doing the things you’re supposed to do. And yet when you look at your bank account or credit card statement, your money still feels messy.
Where did it all go?

Money Mindset and Identity: Why Your Financial Habits Aren’t Changing (and How to Fix Them)
You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do with your money.
You’re stuck because of who you believe you are with money.
In this solo episode, we’re breaking down the real reason financial habits don’t stick: identity. Because you can download every budgeting app, read every investing book, and still self-sabotage if your internal story says, “I’m bad with money,” “I’m behind,” or “I just

Emotional spending isn’t a discipline problem — it’s a disconnection signal.
In this episode, we’re rewriting the narrative around impulse purchases, Target runs, late-night checkouts, and “I deserve this” moments. Because you’re not bad with money — you’re trying to soothe stress, reward exhaustion, feel connected, or become a future version of yourself.
