Ever wake up at 3 a.m. in a full-blown panic, wondering if you’ll ever have “enough” money? Maybe you’re making more than ever, but somehow, the worry never goes away. You stress over every purchase, second-guess every money move, and still feel like you’re one wrong decision away from losing it all.
Here’s the truth: It’s not just about the dollars—it’s about what’s happening in your head.
Welcome to Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, the podcast that finally tells it like it is: your emotions, thoughts, and habits around money are what’s keeping you stuck— not just your paycheck. Hosted by Shari Rash, a money expert who wants to help you ditch shame, rewrite the rules, and help you feel powerful with your finances. Don't worry, this show isn’t another snooze-fest finance podcast. She's here to help you unf*ck your finances and finally build wealth in a way that actually feels good.
If you’re tired of finance bros yelling at you for buying a damn latte and sick of money advice that doesn’t fit your life, hit subscribe. It’s time to unravel your money mess, rewrite your story, and start building wealth—on your terms.

Everyone's Talkin' Money | Personal Finance Tips To Stress Less and Live More

We don’t just have money problems—we have money perception problems.

In Part 2 of our three-part Money Dysmorphia series with Backbone, I’m joined by Melissa Burleson, a certified financial counselor at Tarrant County’s Credit Union, who brings nearly 20 years of wisdom, service, and heart to this conversation. 

Melissa knows firsthand how money dysmorphia—our distorted view of our financial reality—can sabotage even the smartest budgeter or most determined saver.

We talk about how money dysmorphia can swing both ways—from feeling constantly behind despite doing all the right things, to overspending and living beyond your means to project financial success. And Melissa shares powerful personal stories, real-life coaching moments, and practical tools to start shifting from emotional chaos to financial clarity.

You’ll walk away with:

A deeper understanding of the emotional triggers behind overspending and avoidance

How generational money beliefs and social media comparison fuel money dysmorphia

Why many people tie their self-worth to a credit score—and how to break that cycle

How to recognize when emotional thinking is clouding financial decisions

What it takes to move from “I’m bad with money” to “I trust myself with money”

It’s Not Just the Budget: The Emotional Math Behind Money Dysmorphia

Do you feel broke, even when your finances say otherwise? Or maybe you’ve been spending like you’ve already “made it”—but your bank account hasn’t caught up? That distorted perception has a name: money dysmorphia.

In this first episode of our special three-part series, I’ve partnered with Backbone, a national coalition of credit unions, to explore how emotional and psychological misperceptions around money are impacting millions of Americans—especially Millennials and Gen Z. 

Our guest is Nicole Andrushko, VP of Marketing at Westerra Credit Union, who’s on the frontlines of financial storytelling and education.

Nicole unpacks how social media, comparison culture, and pressure to hit traditional milestones are warping our self-perception—and how credit unions are stepping in to help people see the truth of their financial health and take confident steps forward.

You’ll walk away with:

 
A clear understanding of what money dysmorphia is and how to spot it in yourself or others

 
The real reason high-achieving, financially stable people still feel “behind”

 
How credit unions are uniquely equipped to help people shift their mindset

 
Simple, habit-based ways to start repairing your relationship with money

 
Why emotional support is just as critical as financial tools in combating distorted financial thinking
