Are You Moneying Too Hard? Here’s Why It...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

What if you’re moneying too hard? Financial stress, constant budgeting, and trying to “get it right” with money can leave you feeling exhausted. Enter financial therapist Amanda Clayman, host of Emotional Investment on Audible, who believes true financial wellness isn’t about working harder—it’s about aligning your behaviors with your values, setting loving boundaries, and shifting money from a “problem to be solved” to a source of empowerment.


And wait until you hear the wild story of her $19,000 haircut—it’s a lesson in money choices you won’t forget.


In this vault episode, we dive into:

  • Why we overcomplicate money (and how to stop)
  • How to create financial wellness that actually feels good


  • The infamous $19K haircut (yes, really)
