I talk a lot about relationships on this podcast, and today is no different. Well, maybe a little. What’s your relationship with money? Does thinking about your bank or investment accounts leave you feeling stressed or excited? Do you consider money to be simply a tool, or did someone in your past twist that bible verse to convince you that it’s the root of all evil. What attitudes about money were you exposed to in your childhood that are holding you back all these years later? My guest today is Shari Rash, Financial Advisor and founder of Greenway Wealth Advisory. Shari has over 17 years of experience working in the financial services industry, and is the author of Insider's Secrets about Women and Money.

Shari shares insights she has learned about personal finance through the years, differences between how men and women view finances and she explains how to discover your spending personality. ----more---- Website https://www.greenwaywealthadvisory.com/ LinkedIn URL https://www.linkedin.com/in/shari-rash Facebook URL https://www.facebook.com/moneychicshari Twitter URL https://www.twitter.com/moneychicshari YouTube URL https://www.youtube.com/@MoneyChicshari Instagram https://www.instagram.com/moneychicshari ----more---- Summary The conversation explores the relationship between individuals and money, particularly how family programming and upbringing shape one's attitudes and behaviors towards money.
