Are these 5 investing taboos keeping you stuck?In Today's Shannah Shares, Community Q&A reboot episode, I tackle a question from Laquesha: "Hi Shannah. Thanks so much for answering my question. I really want to start investing but I keep getting hung up on all the chatter out there. I can’t figure out if I’m supposed to wait to start investing until I’ve paid off all my debt, or is that not smart to do? Also, it just feels like I need to be an expert at investing to do it well. I know that’s not true, but man, it just feels so hard to figure out investing. I know so many people are making a kiling, and I kinda feel bad that I haven’t started at all, know what I mean. You’ve done so many great investing episodes, I’m curious if there’s an episode from the past that you think I should check out. You’re awesome and I so appreciate this show for motivating me. My boyfriend can’t believe I care this much about my money, but I just tell him, yes, yes I do and so should you.

I will be the first to admit that Valentine’s Day is most definitely a Hallmark holiday. I’ve spent many a Valentine’s Day myself buried in a box of chocolates at home pretending my cat, Sofi, was my date. But showing someone you love, even just like them, is about more than a day. And let’s be real, dating, wooing, courting, falling in love, whatever you want to call it, it can be expensive. In this episode, Kristin Myers, Editor in Chief of The Balance is here to share the best ways to afford the cost of dating.

In this episode, Eleanor shares how to make the leap from six-figures to the illustrious seven-figures, how to reframe your idea of wealth, and why as women, making money truly is power.

Learning to tame your money anxiety takes some practice. I’m a big fan of this episode because I will be the first to raise my hand and shout, “I have money anxiety.” Our guest, Emily Rose, is here to enlighten us all on this topic of money anxiety. Emily is a school psychologist, yoga teacher, author of the journal Write it to Right it, and also runs the blog, MissMagnoliaSays.com. As Emily says, we all have anxiety around money, but for each of us, that looks a little different. Our biggest anxieties tend to come from the comparison trap - you know the “shoulds.” We’re all familiar with the “shoulds,” right? I should know how to invest, I should do this with my money, I should have a good credit score or I should own a house right now. It’s completely normal to run through the laundry list of things you should’ve done. In fact, Emily’s overall message is that having anxiety is actually normal. See, we all have anxious thoughts around money and that’s ok. In this episode, Emily helps you understand how anxiety might be showing up for you, ways to recognize those anxious thoughts, and some practical exercises to help you when you feel your money worries bubbling to the surface.LinksMissmagnoliasays blogWrite It To Right It JournalMoney Mindset JournalEpisode SponsorsA big thank you to all our sponsors who make this show possible:Try EveryPlate for just $1.79 per meal by going to http://www.everyplate.com and entering code mymoney179. · Give yourself – and your wallet – a break.
