Shannah Game, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health & Glassbox Media.
Ever feel like no matter what you do, you'll never have “enough” money? Join the club! On Everyone’s Talkin' Money, we know it’s not just about the dollars—it’s...
You’ve been lied to. Society has told you that if you’re not constantly grinding, stressing, and hustling, you don’t deserve financial success. That’s complete B.S.—and today, we’re calling it out.
In this episode of Unraveling Your Relationship with Money, I’m joined by Dr. Barb and Maggie Nielsen from Purse Strings to break down one of the most toxic money beliefs holding women back: the idea that making money has to be hard.
Here’s what we’re tackling:
Why women are conditioned to believe struggle = success
The emotional toll of financial anxiety (and how to ditch it)
Why working harder doesn’t always mean making more
How to build wealth without burning yourself out
This episode is part of my Unraveling Your Relationship with Money series, leading up to the launch of my book Unraveling Your Relationship with Money, because if you don’t heal your money story, you’ll stay stuck in the same cycle forever.

“I Saved Every Penny Out of Fear—And It Led Me to Financial Freedom”
Most people think saving every penny is the key to financial security. But what happens when saving isn’t just a strategy—it’s an obsession fueled by fear? In this raw and unfiltered episode, I sit down with Tess Waresmith from Wealth with Tess, who opens up about how childhood money fears shaped her into a compulsive saver. She believed hoarding money was the only way to feel safe—until she realized that true financial freedom required more than just saving.
In this episode, we dive into:
How childhood money fears shape our financial decisions as adults
Why compulsive saving can be just as limiting as overspending
How she broke free from fear-based money habits and started building wealth
How women are conditioned to feel guilt and fear around money—and how to reclaim your power
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a scarcity mindset, afraid to spend, or unsure how to make your money work for you, this episode is a must-listen.
