In this episode, Katie welcomes Shannah Game, a certified financial planner, trauma-of-money expert, and author of Unraveling Your Relationship with Money, for a compassionate and deeply human conversation about money, meaning, and healing in midlife. Together, they explore why money so often feels overwhelming — and how our relationship with it is shaped far more by emotions, nervous system responses, and generational patterns than by numbers alone.
Shannon shares her unique path into financial healing, blending traditional financial planning with trauma-informed practices that center presence, self-connection, and compassion. Her work focuses on helping women — especially those navigating midlife, perimenopause, and major life transitions — feel less intimidated by money and more at peace with it.
Katie and Shannon discuss how shame, scarcity, and the cultural belief that “more is always better” disconnect us from our sense of purpose and inner stability. Drawing subtle parallels to yoga philosophy, they explore how defining what “enough” truly means — both financially and emotionally — can restore clarity, confidence, and inner peace.
This episode also introduces gentle, practical tools Shannon uses with her clients, including Financial Forgiveness, embodied awareness around money decisions, and creating financial plans that honor energy, capacity, and real life. Rather than pushing hustle or perfection, this conversation invites a healing, sustainable, and meaningful approach to money, rooted in acceptance, regulation, and trust.
If you’re in midlife and feeling behind, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your finances, this episode offers a grounded reminder: financial peace begins with presence — not pressure.
