In today's episode, I'm reflecting on the liminal space between the end of one year and the beginning of the next—the hazy “in-between” where routines fall away, time feels weird, and it's tempting to either over-hustle with resolutions or completely check out. I explore how this in-between mirrors our financial journeys, where growth is rarely linear and the quiet, uncertain seasons often hold the most potential for clarity, healing, and new stories around money. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

"In a life well lived, there's always going to be more things you may want to do than you can do with time, energy, money, and attention." -Carl Richards Stephanie and Kevin welcome Carl Richards, creator of the iconic "Sketch Guy" column in The New York Times, for an inspiring conversation about his latest book, "Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches." Over 17 years in the making, this collection distills complex financial concepts into simple drawings designed to spark the conversations that truly matter! Each sketch focuses on a single idea, creating entry points for conversations that words alone can't generate. You won't get all the answers, but that's okay! The true goal is to help people start talking about money in meaningful ways. Stephanie and Kevin explore several of their favorite sketches, beginning with "The Getting Ahead Trap": a bar graph showing that money needed to "get ahead" has no top, while money needed for "having enough" is surprisingly small. Makes sense. After all, step zero of financial planning is understanding what's most important to you. Without that clarity, discussions about dollars and vehicles are pointless. Carl emphasizes that "your values are not at war, they're in conversation". That's probably his favorite line in the entire book! "None of us were really taught how to talk about money," Carl reflects, especially the deep conversations about worries and values rather than just CNBC-style market talk. The book gives us permission to be imperfect. Financial planning is educated guessing, goals are guesses, and things change. Not only is that okay, but it's reality. Carl encourages "deep hugs and big spreadsheets" when clients need certainty, while gently helping them understand that precision isn't always possible or necessary. Most importantly, money isn't just math. Algorithms can't feel anxiety about major decisions or pride in achieving goals. Human guidance remains essential, even as technology advances.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Kim challenges one of the biggest assumptions in medicine, that more money will finally bring freedom. He unpacks why so many high-earning physicians still feel rushed, exhausted, and stuck, even when they've "done everything right." Peter introduces a powerful shift that reframes success around time, control, and choice rather than income alone. If you've ever wondered why working harder hasn't made life feel better, this conversation will hit close to home. Tune in! Are you looking for a community to encourage you as you begin, or want to accelerate your business to the next level?

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.If your money feels blocked, it's not because you're doing something wrong. It's because your nervous system is under pressure.In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind money flow and explain why stress and urgency shut down circulation. You'll learn three specific, practical ways to regulate your nervous system and turn cash flow on, especially during high-pressure seasons like the holidays.Episode Takeaways:Money is movement, and movement requires safetyStress activates survival states that block cash flowRegulation restores clarity, perception, and opportunityWhen you apply this, you stop chasing pennies and start calling in overflow. You move from “how can I get money” to “how do I receive money.” You become a woman who magnetizes. Who attracts. Who doesn't crumble under pressure but rises in power.
In this very quick Christmas week check-in, I just wanted to share a simple reminder: you are not failing at the holidays, no matter what your spending, energy, or to-do list looks like. I talk about how this season is set up to make us feel “not enough,” and offer one gentle reflection question to help you soften the pressure and let “good enough” truly be enough, even if you feel both grateful and exhausted at the same time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

This episode of Talking Real Money takes aim at the latest “easy money” illusion—house flipping—explaining why rising costs, higher interest rates, softer housing demand, and plain old competition have drained much of its appeal. Tom and Don connect flipping's decline to a familiar pattern of speculative behavior, much like day trading or past real estate manias, and reinforce why there are no reliable shortcuts to wealth. Listener calls drive a wide-ranging discussion on global diversification versus U.S.-only investing, the dangers of concentration risk in the S&P 500, how recency bias distorts performance comparisons, and why owning more markets matters more than making predictions. The episode wraps with practical retirement guidance for older investors, including simplifying portfolios with low-cost target-date funds, and closes with trademark humor and perspective. 0:05 Show open, intro banter, singing callbacks, and weekend rhythm 0:28 House flipping compared to day trading and FOMO investing 1:28 Why flipping activity is down sharply: costs, rates, and competition 3:41 The myth of “passive income” in real estate 4:50 Softer housing markets and demographic headwinds 6:02 No magic systems—long-term investing still wins 8:27 Lisa (Colorado): investing nonprofit funds at Vanguard 10:30 VOO vs VTI vs VT and the case for global diversification 12:29 Volatility, standard deviation, and diversification basics 14:44 Sharpe ratios, recency bias, and misleading performance metrics 16:54 Charles (Seattle): Boeing plans, VOO, and AVGE at Schwab 18:32 S&P 500 concentration risk and the “Magnificent Seven” 21:33 Jason (Sammamish): VTI vs VT debate and long-term market data 28:41 Debbie (Camano Island): portfolio risk concerns at age 73 31:20 Risk tolerance vs risk capacity in retirement 33:16 Vanguard target-date funds as a simple retirement solution 36:01 Lighter close with creative fundraising and holiday humor Learn more about your ad choices.

Even in this “season of plenty,” many of us carry a quiet sense of not enough — not enough time, energy, money, or headspace. In today's episode, I share why scarcity shows up more strongly this time of year, how it subtly influences our decisions, and why judging ourselves only makes it heavier. We'll explore: Why the holidays can amplify feelings of lack The subtle ways scarcity shows up in our thoughts and choices How to lean into curiosity and self-compassion instead of criticism Practical ways to notice misalignment and make grounded choices ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

In today's episode, I talk about how easy it is to become invisible during the holiday chaos. Women are conditioned to give to everyone around us — our families, coworkers, communities — while giving almost nothing to ourselves. I dig into why self-kindness and self-investment can feel so uncomfortable, why we default to burnout and “superhero mode” every December, and how the small, quick fixes we reach for aren't actually meeting our real needs. Instead, we need to reframe the idea of “gifting” ourselves through meaningful support — honesty, boundaries, rest, and choosing what genuinely helps us long-term. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

In this episode, I'm diving into the money secrets we all carry — especially during a season where pressure and expectations are louder than ever. I talk about why we hide our financial stress, how holiday “performing” shows up in sneaky ways, and what this secrecy does to our emotional well-being. I also share the small, grounded steps I use to practice more honesty with myself and others, why vulnerability doesn't mean oversharing, and how naming what's true can be the first real relief we feel in a long time. If you've ever felt like you're the only one struggling with money during the holidays, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone — and you don't have to carry it all in silence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

This week (just in time for Thanksgiving), I'm talking about the money stories that resurface when we're home for the holidays. Why do old family roles come back so quickly? Why do questions about work, success, or “how we're doing” feel so charged? And how can we stay grounded when other people's money beliefs collide with our own? In this episode, we explore: • Why family triggers around money show up • How to recognize the old stories you slip into • Ways to stay centered during tough conversations • What it looks like to rewrite those patterns as an adult This episode is an invitation to notice — without judgment — what comes up for you during the holidays, and to honor the healing you're already doing. Awareness is what breaks generational cycles, and it's what allows you to show up with more clarity, calm, and self-trust. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

As we head into the season of gratitude, I'm taking a different perspective — one that looks back at the challenges we once resented and the growth they brought. In this episode, I share a personal story about financial stress, burnout, and learning to trust myself when life felt uncertain. We'll talk about how time and healing can transform resentment into wisdom — and how that same shift can change your relationship with money. Real gratitude isn't just for the good moments — it's also for the hard ones that shaped who you are. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.

This week, I'm joined by Jackie Nepola, a personal coach and certified breathwork facilitator who helps women reconnect with themselves through mindfulness, presence, and (believe it or not) the simple act of breathing. We dive deep into what it really means to slow down in a world that's constantly telling us to speed up — and how learning to pause, feel, and breathe can change everything from our mindset to our relationships. In this episode, we talk about: Why it feels so hard to slow down — and how we can start building the tools to do it with intention What it actually looks like to regulate our nervous system in real life (and how to model that for our kids) The power of our mindset — and how noticing our thoughts can change everything How breathwork can help us come back to our bodies and our truth You can connect with Jackie here:

Money isn't real, it's belief. In 1971, when Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard, everything changed. From that moment on, money stopped being backed by gold and started being backed by confidence. Which means the only thing separating you from wealth is understanding the game. In this episode, I break down what money actually is, how it moves, and why it only feels like a problem to lazy people. I'll show you how the market really works, time, value, products, services, and now AI and how the ones who adapt are the ones who win. This is the mindset shift the world needs: Stop chasing money. Start becoming valuable. Because once you understand what money really is… you'll never fear it again.Buy my book Above the illusion.

Journalist Paul Vigna has spent years covering crypto and asking hard questions about finance. He's written a new book called The Almightier: How Money Became God, Greed Became Virtue, and Debt Became Sin and in it he argues that money is less of a tool and more of a kind of religious object — a myth fueled by faith, weaponized by greed, and now so central to our lives that we barely question it. But maybe we should.

Traditional financial planning treats money like a mathematical equation, but real life doesn't follow spreadsheet projections. In this episode, Hans and Brian delve into why the standard financial planning process - with its fixation on the rate of return and perfect projections - fails to account for the complex realities of human behavior, economic volatility, and life's unexpected twists.They challenge the fundamental assumptions behind retirement planning and explore why focusing solely on mathematical models leaves people unprepared for actual financial success. The conversation reveals how financial advisors can create unrealistic expectations by making flawed assumptions about tax rates, spending needs, and market performance.From the compound interest myth to the behavioral realities that derail even the best-laid plans, this episode exposes why money isn't math and why treating it as such can sabotage your financial future.The Instagram Filter Effect: Financial planning projections are like Instagram filters - they show a polished, unrealistic version of reality. Behind that smooth blue line of projected growth lies market volatility, human behavior mistakes, economic changes, and life emergencies that no spreadsheet can predict.The Rate of Return Obsession: Most financial advice centers entirely around chasing the highest rate of return, but rate of return doesn't pay your bills or give you control over your time. More important factors include income generation, liquidity, and the ability to use your money for multiple purposes throughout your life.The Compound Interest Myth: You cannot get true compound interest- or any interest, actually- from stocks, mutual funds, or market-based investments. Compound interest requires a guaranteed, specified rate of return. Market investments only provide price appreciation, which can go up or down, making "compound interest" calculations meaningless.Why Average Returns Don't Matter: A portfolio that goes down 50% then up 50% averages 0% but you're still negative. Real returns depend on timing, sequence of returns, human behavior, and countless variables that averages can't account for.The Behavioral Reality: Even if two people invest in the same fund at the same time with the same contributions, they'll likely have completely different outcomes due to human behavior - panic selling, FOMO buying, missing payments during emergencies, or getting distracted by the next hot investment.Planning for Today, Not Just Tomorrow: Instead of deferring all enjoyment and financial freedom to some distant retirement date, consider what you can do now to create the life you want. Focus on building income streams and lifestyle flexibility rather than just accumulating numbers on a statement.➡️ Chapters00:00 - Money's Greatest Intrinsic Value05:00 - The Debt Snowball Exception08:00 - The Instagram Filter Analogy13:00 - Average Retirement Savings Reality16:00 - Why Compound Interest Doesn't Exist in Markets20:00 - The 4% Rule Problems26:00 - When Careers Disappear Overnight31:00 - Human Behavior vs. Perfect Math37:00 - The Magnificent Seven Market Manipulation44:00 - Income vs. Rate of Return48:00 - Living Your Dream Life NowGot Questions?

Join Doug for a conversation with Greg Lunceford, a wealth advisor from Chicago who's changing retirement planning. Greg shares his research on the psychological challenges of leaving work, drawing from his PhD in management and client experiences during the 2008 financial crisis. He reveals why financial advisors rarely address the emotional costs of retirement that go beyond money. From lawyers wanting to start rock bands to executives who can't make retirement decisions, this episode uncovers why even financially secure people struggle to retire. Greg discusses identity, purpose, and the "third age" concept that reframes retirement. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Work provides four non-financial benefits: achievement and recognition, socialisation and community, identity and purpose, and daily structure. These all disappear in retirement and must be replaced. • People without retirement plans have 40% higher risk of cognitive failure and depression, showing the need for psychological preparation alongside financial planning. • Traditional retirement models are outdated, previous generations had shorter lifespans, pension safety nets and different expectations that no longer apply. • Many professionals never chose their careers intentionally, they followed parental or social expectations, leading to delayed dreams emerging in retirement conversations. • Financial readiness doesn't equal emotional readiness, even wealthy clients with secure finances struggle with retirement decisions due to psychological barriers and identity concerns. • The "third age" concept reframes retirement. Modern longevity means transitioning from middle age to a new life stage, rather than directly to old age. • Goal setting requires self-awareness (knowing your likes, dislikes, and limitations) and adaptability (willingness to take risks and think outside conventions). BEST MOMENTS "Throughout my whole career, every move that I made was because someone came and gave guidance.” "We are no longer the people that we used to be... We will probably live a decade longer than those before us." "Did anyone ever talk to you about how to exit work? No... this may be the first independent decision a lot of people make about their career and it is overwhelming." "People who don't have a plan, people who don't have structure, people who don't have things that create psychological success have a 40% greater chance of going into things like cognitive failure, depression."

On this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Georg Haymerle—once a top head and neck surgeon in Europe and Australia, now a dedicated advocate for culture change in medicine. Georg's journey is anything but typical: after reaching the pinnacle of surgical mastery, he made the radical decision to walk away—not because of burnout or failure, but to confront the invisible crisis unraveling healthcare teams from within.Join us as we dive into Dr. Haymerle's powerful story: from the grueling demands of 14-hour cancer surgeries and the accidental discovery of high-functioning, trust-based teams, to the moment when his own department's spirit collapsed under uncertainty. We'll explore why human factors like psychological safety and simple acts of gratitude can impact patient outcomes just as much as surgical skill. Dr. Haymerle takes us inside the often-overlooked world of healthcare team dynamics, revealing why he left the operating room behind to fix something even more delicate than anatomy: the fractured culture that shapes how care is delivered.If you've ever wondered whether culture truly matters in medicine—or how speaking up, vulnerability, and a heartfelt “thank you” might just save a life—this episode will stay with you long after you listen. Tune in for a heartfelt, evidence-based conversation about what really keeps healthcare teams—and their patients—thriving.Episode Highlights1. Team Spirit Transforms Outcomes — Cohesive, trusting teams dramatically improve surgical efficiency and patient safety, sometimes reducing surgery times by hours.2. Culture Changes Everything — Good workplace culture is just as critical as skill—loss of hope or toxic environments erode performance and morale.3. Technical Skill Isn't Enough — High technical mastery won't guarantee success if team dynamics and relationships are neglected or dysfunctional.4. Vulnerability Builds Excellence — When team members can safely show weaknesses and ask for help, everyone benefits, including patient outcomes.5. Money Isn't the Motivator — Financial rewards alone don't solve morale or performance issues; intrinsic motivators and appreciation matter more.6. Gratitude Is Powerful Medicine — Simple, genuine thank-yous are rare but transformative, fueling motivation, engagement, and mutual respect in healthcare teams.7. Speaking Up Saves Lives — Creating environments where all voices are heard—regardless of hierarchy—prevents errors and fosters innovation.8. Change Requires Leadership Buy-In — Cultural shifts succeed only when leaders acknowledge problems and model openness to feedback and improvement.9. Early Intervention Matters — Recognizing “the spiral” of team dysfunction early and addressing it promptly can prevent long-term damage and staff turnover.10. Healthcare Must Evolve — Emphasizing the human side of medicine—connection, gratitude, honest conversation—represents the future of safe, effective healthcare.Episode Timestamps03:58 — Career Shift in Healthcare Path06:41 — From Timid to Skilled Surgeon10:12 — Human Factors Impact Medical Outcomes14:33 — Creating a High-Performing Team19:10 — Building Trust for Departmental Progress22:37 — Surgical Trainee Silence Dilemma23:26 — Breaking Hierarchies: Encouraging Open Dialogue26:56 — Healthcare Organizations' Capacity for Change32:49 — Austrian Healthcare's Resistance to Change34:26 — Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Change37:54 — Targeting Female Leaders in HealthcareDISCLAMER >>>>>> The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

We often treat money as the finish line. We chase it, measure ourselves by it, and let it shape our choices. But in doing so, we lose sight of the real question: What are we trading our money for—and is it making us truly flourish?As we live in a world that often celebrates achievement, it's easy to build wealth while unintentionally bankrupting other parts of our lives, such as our time, our energy, and our relationships.

If wealth is up, why is happiness down? In this soulful episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari sits down with educator and award-winning author Jeff Golden to explore one of the biggest contradictions in modern life: we have more money than ever, yet we're more disconnected and unfulfilled. Drawing from his book Reclaiming the Sacred, Jeff shares how we've been conditioned to chase the wrong things—and how to realign with what truly matters. You'll hear: Why money only accounts for 2–4% of happiness What really drives our well-being (and it's not what you think) How our culture of consumption is numbing us, not fulfilling us What “enough” actually looks like—and how to know when you've reached it Why micro-actions are more powerful than big life overhauls How to model a healthier money narrative for your kids (and yourself) Reclaiming the Sacred, Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World was named Best Environmental Book of 2023 by IndieReader, and winner of the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards (previous winners include the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown, and Barbara Kingsolver).

Title: Practicing the Way — The Practice of Simplicity & GenerosityMain Texts: 1 Timothy 6:6–10; Luke 12:15; Mark 4:18–19; Matthew 19:23–24; Luke 11:39, 41Big Idea: Greed is one of the most deceitful sins—it quietly damages our hearts and distorts our desires. The antidote is the practice of simplicity and generosity.Key Points:The Deceitfulness of GreedGreed is rarely confessed. It's easy to justify, often hidden beneath surface sins.Paul warns: “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10).Greed traps us in the endless cycle of “more, more, more”, which never satisfies.How Culture Feeds GreedWe live in an era of surveillance capitalism—algorithms constantly fuel discontent and desire.Marketing sells feelings, not products: status, security, confidence, adventure.The American Dream is built on the myth of more: “If I just had a little more, then I'd be happy.”But in reality, the more we get, the more empty we often feel.Jesus' Warnings About WealthLuke 12:15 — “Be on your guard against all kinds of greed.”Mark 4:18–19 — Wealth is not evil, but it's deceitful. It chokes out spiritual life.Matthew 19:23–24 — Jesus warned that wealth can make it very difficult to enter the kingdom.Greed is a heart issue—not about income level, but about attachment and priority.Money Isn't Bad, but the Love of It IsWealth itself can be used for great good.But when money becomes the goal, it corrupts our motives and relationships.Pride, anxiety, contempt for others all increase when wealth becomes identity (TED Talk: Does Money Make You Mean?).The Antidote: Simplicity and GenerositySimplicity isn't about poverty; it's about intentionality.Luke 11:41 — “Be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.”Generosity cleanses the heart by reminding us that we already have enough—and that life is found in giving, not hoarding.Personal Story of Radical GenerosityThe story of a family who gave sacrificially to meet tangible needs after a time of personal family crisis.True generosity leaves a legacy—not just in stuff, but in lives transformed.Final Challenge:The kingdom of God runs counter to the myth of more. Live simply. Give generously. Find contentment—not in what you accumulate, but in what you release.
