In this episode of Shannah Shares, Community Q&A, I'm answering a listener question about how to deal with anxiety, stress, and depression around money."Hey Shannah, I love the podcast. Thanks so much for all that you do. I had a personal question that I'm hoping you'd be willing to share more about. I have a lot of anxiety around money. It feels overwhelming to me honestly. I've been depressed, but mainly just feeling like I stress out about everything around money. I know you say that you can't make good money decisions when you are stressed or anxious. Would you mind sharing some tips and a bit more about your story of struggling with money anxiety. I know you've mentioned it a few times on the show, you might've even had an episode, I just can't remember, but I really appreciate your honesty. It helps me feel not so alone. Thanks again for being the place where we all feel safe to talk about this stuff. It certainly isn't easy and I'm sure someone else feels the same way."

Saving money seems to be the Achilles heel for most of us.

Have you ever wondered why we eat turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and our favorite veggie dish for Thanksgiving? The Thanksgiving meal has evolved so much since the early 1900s and become the holiday we associate with eating until we can't eat anymore.

Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.LinksSmart Mouth PodcastKatherine on InstagramEpisode SponsorsStart your 100-day trial and shop the entire Away lineup of travel essentials, including their best-selling suitcases at http://www.away.com/mymoney. Right now, my listeners can get a bonus of $25 in crypto after you make your first purchase with BlockFi's Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card when you sign up at blockfi.com/MYMONEY.I want you to start living a happier life today.

Yes, it is possible to invest in real estate and earn passive income on any income. If you’re active on social media, you may have heard of Rachel Richards and her brand Money Honey. Rachel has been on the show in the past, however, in this episode she's sharing her story about getting started in real estate investing. The truth is Rachel isn’t a trust fund baby and actually never made six figures in a job. She found creative ways to save money and was saving half of her salary to ramp up to her first investment all with less than 20% down. Rachel is a great example of bringing intentionality to your money so you can achieve a money goal. In her 20’s she decided rental real estate was her means to generate passive income and essentially retired in less than 2 years. In her story, I hope you find a bit of yourself and motivation that you can create your own version of Rachel’s passive income success. In this episode, we talk about what it means to have financial freedom, how to think about passive income, how to get into real estate investing, how much money you need, how to spot a good deal, and so much more.LinksPassive Income Starter Kit F.I.R.E.
