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

    Money Together: Building Love, Equity, and Wealth Without Keeping Score
    Oct 3 2025
    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.

    Oct 2 2025
    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.

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.

    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.

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.

  • How to Kill Debt, Master Credit and Protect Your Wealth - 40 Money Lessons at 40, Part 3

    How to Kill Debt, Master Credit and Protect Your Wealth - 40 Money Lessons at 40, Part 3
    Sep 24 2025
    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.

    Boring Money Moves That Actually Work - 40 Money Lessons at 40, Part 2
    Sep 19 2025
    Mindset is important, but here’s the truth: without strong cash flow systems and habits, you’ll always feel like you’re spinning your wheels with money. In Part 2 of my 40 Money Lessons at 40 series, I’m walking you through the practical routines that form the backbone of financial stability. You’ll hear: Why paying yourself first (even $25 at a time) guarantees your future gets funded How to set up a monthly “money date” to check in without shame or stress The life-changing peace of living one month ahead on bills Why multiple bank accounts simplify money management and stop overdraft chaos These aren’t flashy hacks — they’re the proven, boring-but-brilliant moves that build real wealth and lower money stress. If you’ve been craving control over your finances, this episode is your blueprint for a rock-solid foundation. You’ll walk away knowing: Why paying yourself first flips the savings script (and why “leftover money” never works). How a monthly money date can transform shame into clarity. The underrated power of living one month ahead on bills — and the instant stress relief it creates. Why multiple checking accounts aren’t obsessive, they’re smart structures. How saving monthly for big expenses stops predictable bills from wrecking your budget. The real cost of oversized housing — and how to keep it in check. Why talking about money out loud is the fastest way to get unstuck. And the 3-month pause rule that will save you from emotional, expensive mistakes. Next episode, we’re talking protection — debt elimination, credit management, insurance. The shields that keep your financial house safe. If this episode hit home, share it.
