In this episode, we discuss the concept of money trauma and how our childhood experiences shape our beliefs and habits around money. Shannah also highlights the unique financial challenges that women face, such as the gender pay gap and the fact that women tend to live longer and spend their retirement savings taking care of their partners. Shannah provides some practical tips for improving our financial health and encourages us to have open conversations about money, both with ourselves and with our children, to create a healthier mindset around finances.  Overall, Shannah's message was clear: money is more mental than it is math.
