Shannon discussed her book “Your Money Has Feelings,” which explores how personal experiences and emotional responses influence financial decisions.

When it comes to personal finance and wealth building, no one is coming to save us. Women need to take ownership of their financial planning and money management to build long-term wealth. Women need to (and should want to) take ownership for their financial situations and seek out ways to level up their finances. The cost of living and everything that comes with it will only continue to rise. Instead of being left behind on the wealth-building train, let’s get into the mindset needed to obtain true time and money freedom. When it comes to money, there’s so much more than simply knowing what to do with it.
How were you brought up to understand or manage money? Does it rule your life because you go paycheck to paycheck, or do you squander it on small things that chip away at your goals? Often the hardest part is aligning your values: what are your priorities and how do you get there. This is where Shannon and her knowledge can help you no matter where you fit on the money spectrum.
