Paying off debt isn't just about following some boring budget advice. If it were that easy, you'd already be debt-free. In this episode, I dive into the real secrets no one talks about when it comes to debt—why it’s not just a financial problem but an emotional one and how you can actually flip the script to make it work in your favor. I’m breaking down the psychological side of debt payoff, revealing how small wins can give you the momentum to crush it, and sharing some of the most insane things people have done to get out of debt. Trust me, it’s time to get real about what works—and what doesn’t. Listener Takeaways: Debt isn’t just financial; it’s emotional. You need to tackle your feelings of shame, guilt, and fear to truly conquer it. The psychological win method builds momentum—focus on small victories, celebrate them, and use that energy to keep going. Debt-free doesn’t mean perfect. Progress over perfection is what matters, so let go of the guilt and keep moving forward. Get creative with how you pay off debt—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and sometimes, thinking outside the box leads to big results. Accountability is key. Having someone in your corner can make all the difference. Subscribe & Share: If this episode hit home for you, make sure to subscribe and leave a review. And if you know someone else who's drowning in debt and needs some real talk, share this episode with them.

Let me ask you—what if I told you the gender pay gap isn’t just about your paycheck? It’s time to wake up because you’re leaving way more on the table than you think. Today, I’m sitting down with negotiation expert Kathryn Valentine, CEO of Worthmore Strategies, where she helps organizations advance female talent, and we’re dropping the ultimate list—75 things women can successfully negotiate for at work besides salary. That’s right, 75! Why am I so fired up about this? Because I know first-hand how crucial it is for women to demand what they’re worth—not just in dollars but in opportunities, flexibility, and career power moves. As Kathryn says, there is a tremendous impact on wealth for women when you learn how to negotiate in a female-specific way. Yes, it’s a thing. In this episode, you’ll learn how to tap into your strengths, boost your confidence, and negotiate like a boss to build real wealth. So if you’re ready to stop playing small and start negotiating for the life you deserve, this episode is for you.

If you’re in a relationship, love and money can be tricky topics! Talking about money with your partner, let alone figuring out your shared goals and vision for life, often falls to the backburner - the “I’ll do it later” list. That’s why I’m sitting down with the incredible Emily Luk, CEO and co-founder of Plenty, to tackle the topic of money in relationships. Plenty is a wealth platform for modern couples to invest and plan their futures together. In this episode, Emily shares some amazing insights on why communication is key and how focusing on shared goals can bring you closer. Plus, we’ll discuss the importance of accessible financial tools and investment opportunities for everyone because financial confidence shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy.  But that’s not all—Emily also shares how we can conquer that sneaky little voice in our heads that whispers we never have enough. Especially for us women, this feeling of financial scarcity is all too familiar, and it doesn’t always go away just because we’re earning more. So, how do we ditch that “not enough” mindset? We’ll unpack how societal messages play a big role in shaping our beliefs and, more importantly, how we can flip the script.

The Fed, the Fed, The Fed, you’ve heard this a lot if you listen to the news. You’re probably thinking, ok, so why should care what the FED does, and who are they anyway? Well, the Fed will most likely lower the interest rates on Wed, Sep 18th (one day after I’m recording this episode) and one day before you’re hearing this episode.

Our community question comes from Jackie: "Hello, Shannah. I finally worked up enough courage to send in a question. I’d love to know any money tricks in general and how to boost my credit score. I’m trying to get my money stuff (trying to avoid profanity there, but you know what word I want to use) together this fall. My credit has been in the not-so-good place for a while, which is my fault, but I’ve decided to improve and tackle this ASAP. Thank you again for this amazing podcast."

Living simply is one of the best ways to create wealth (but let's be honest, it's hard to do). Living in only 150 square feet for years, Ryan Mitchell has learned a thing or two about living simply. Ryan's done everything from downsizing to life simplification and designing a life right for you. He built his own tiny house in 2012, learning as he went along, which inspired him to help others in their journey to live small. Today, he still lives in his tiny house full time and off-grid with solar, teaching others how to live. In this reboot episode, we talk about ways to simplify your life, why it matters, how to build wealth by living simply, and how it might be the missing piece to achieving your desired things.

In this passive income episode, part of my week of passive income episodes, you'll learn about another idea for creating passive income.

As our guest, Jocelyn Kelly Reid, Queen of the Relaxed Millions Movement and host of the Queen Flow podcast, just mentioned, you must be good at four steps to build wealth. Chances are you’re like the rest of us: good at a couple of those steps but not so good at the others. So, how do you create change to build wealth? Well, Jocelyn believes the secret is to understand the energy of money. This is the idea that money flows to you based on your beliefs about money, which are imprinted from when you were a kid. I know, hard to believe, right? But it’s so true! In this episode, I challenge Jocelyn to dig deep and show you how to work with the energetics of money and ways to use money’s energy to create change in your life. She’ll share some tangible tips to help you avoid feeling unworthy of money to build life-long wealth.

Did you know that passive income is one of the best ways to build wealth? That’s where our guest, Chris Miles, the Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor, comes in. He has twice used his passive income skills to become financially independent and paid off over $1,000,000 in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy. In this special vault episode, Chris is sharing how to create multiple streams of passive income on virtually any budget, why traditional financial advice sucks, and why true wealth can’t come from a scarcity mindset of saving and only contributing to your retirement accounts contrary to what the Dave Ramsey’s of the world spews to millions of people.

You might be thinking, what do sex and money have in common? Well, actually, a lot. I’ve often shared how most of us, including probably you, are stuck in a shame cycle around money. You carry with you stories that come from how you were raised around money and bring those to adulthood without really understanding how they impact your financial journey. Well, the same shame cycle happens with your sex life, and it affects your relationship, just like with money. That’s why I invited Kirsten Trammell, host of The Naked Connection podcast, here to educate you about the intersection of sex and money. In this episode, Kirsten shares the powerful connection between your income and your sex life, why conversations around sex and money are so important for intimacy, and practices you can do to increase abundance and wealth. I’ll be honest: this conversation will blow your mind; it did mine and, hopefully, open you up to a new way of thinking about sex and money - two of the most taboo topics.

Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck? In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A reboot episode, I tackle a question from Laquesha: who wants to start investing but doesn't know where to start? Listen, the financial world wants you to believe that investing is super complicated and hard. However, I want you to know that isn't the case. It's really about picking how you will invest (401K, IRA, Roth IRA, etc.), how much you can invest each month, and what to invest in (which, I promise, isn't really that complicated). In this episode, I'm answering Laquesha's question and pulling in expert advice from Taylor Schulte to help demystify it all for you.

Then she discovered manifesting and believed that she could manifest the life she desired while still being plus-sized…and it started to work.

Financial challenges are sometimes inevitable, so you must develop a healthy way to manage them and find ways to align your behaviors with your intentions. That's called Financial Wellness. Our guest, Amanda Clayman, is a financial therapist and host of Emotional Investment, an audio series on Audible. Amanda is the real deal. She thinks we must stop moneying so hard and instead develop financial wellness. In her words, learning to assess options, make values-based choices, set loving boundaries, and align behavior with intentions so you can shift money from a “problem to be solved” to a source of empowerment. Sounds pretty good if you ask me. So sit back as you go in session with money therapist Amanda Clayman - oh, and wait until she tells the story of her $19K haircut.

Occasionally, I love to bring you vault interviews from podcasts where I'm a guest. I was recently on the Catching Up to FI podcast talking all about money trauma. With Bill and Becky, Catching Up To FI's hosts, I dig deep into the subject of money trauma, exploring their impact on individuals, relationships, and overall financial health. I offer practical strategies for identifying and healing from these traumas. I also emphasize the importance of understanding our relationship with money and suggest helpful practices like journaling to gain better insights and manage these relationships effectively.

Let me guess: you love your credit card points but hate that pesky annual fee. Did you know that 90% of people who asked to have an annual fee waived or reduced in the past year were successful? Oh, and what about that interest rate at 25+%? It really hurts you if you carry debt on your credit card. Did you know that 76% of those who asked for a lower interest rate in the past year got it lowered by a lot? Listen, I know that credit cards and debt can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in your life. But there are some big credit card secrets that will save you a ton of money that you NEED to know about.
