She's Talkin' Money

You make good money. You save. You contribute to retirement. On paper, you are doing well. So why do you still feel unsure whether you are making the right decisions with your money? She’s Talkin’ Money is the personal finance podcast for women who have outgrown basic budgeting advice and want more clarity about what comes next. Hosted by financial planner and money expert Shari Rash, the show helps you understand how to put your money to work through smarter investing, retirement planning, saving, tax strategy, and intentional spending. You will also hear honest conversations about the emotional side of money: fear, guilt, comparison, financial independence, over-saving, and why earning more does not always make you feel more secure. Expect practical solo episodes, expert conversations, and real money questions designed to help you stop second-guessing yourself and start making financial decisions with more confidence. Because doing well on paper should feel good in real life, too. Previously known as Everyone’s Talkin’ Money.

How much should you have saved by 40? It’s one of those money questions that practically begs for a simple answer. Three times your salary. Check the box. Move on. Except your financial life does not work that way. In this episode of She’s Talkin’ Money, I’m breaking down why common age-based savings benchmarks can be useful as a starting point — but completely misleading when they’re treated ...

Should you max out your 401(k)? If you’re making good money, already saving consistently, and have extra cash flow, it can feel like the obvious next step. But maxing out your 401(k) is not automatically the best financial decision — especially if most of your money is tied up in retirement accounts and you want more flexibility before age 65. In this episode of She’s Talkin’ Money, I’m breaking down...

A lot of the way we handle money did not start with us. It started with what we saw, heard, absorbed, and were taught to believe about saving, spending, investing, asking for help, wanting more, and talking about money. In this episode, Shari breaks down the money scripts many women inherit — and how those old beliefs can quietly shape financial decisions for years. You’ll hear how messages like “good women do...

Most money advice is not necessarily wrong. It is just incomplete. “Spend less than you make.” “Save more.” “Avoid debt.” “Max everything out.” “Invest aggressively.” “You should know this by now.” Those rules may sound responsible, but they do not always answer the real questions women are asking when they are already doing well on paper. In this ...

“I’ll save what’s left over” sounds responsible — but it usually does not work. Because most of the time, nothing is left over. Money without a plan gets absorbed into convenience, lifestyle creep, random spending, extra cash sitting in checking, or vague “I work hard, it’s fine” decisions. In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, breaks down how to decide what to do with...

You can be doing fine with money and still not feel good about it. Maybe nothing is falling apart. You’re earning, saving, paying your bills, and making responsible decisions. But there is still one money question that keeps following you around. What should I do with this cash? Should I be investing more? Am I on track? Do I need tax planning? Should I finally call a financial planner? In this episode, Shari Rash, fou...

The year is not over — but it is moving. In part one of the Mid-Year Money Check-In, Shari looked at cash flow, cash reserves, savings, investing, retirement accounts, and whether your money is actually doing what you want it to do. Now in part two, we are looking ahead. Because a lot of financial stress does not come from true surprises. It comes from predictable things that did not have a plan. Taxes. Holiday spending. ...

July is the perfect time to ask one important question: is your money actually doing what you want it to do? This is not about starting over, beating yourself up, or assuming the first half of the year was a financial disaster. It may have been just fine. You may be earning, saving, paying your bills, and doing a lot right. But sometimes “fine” is exactly where money gets stuck. In part one of this two-part mid-year ...

If your home, your calendar, your brain, and your credit card statement all feel a little too full, this conversation is worth revisiting. In this rereleased episode, Shari Rash sits down with Stephanie Seferian, host of Sustainable Minimalists, to talk about the connection between money, clutter, consumption, and intentional living.

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.

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...

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?

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.
