#219: Working Through Financial Shame, Relationship Tensions, and Debt with Dr. Erika Rasure
Update: 2025-07-31
Description
In this episode, I sit down with financial therapist Dr. Erika Rasure to talk about something most personal finance advice skips over: the emotional side of money. Erika shares why so many of us carry shame, guilt, or fear when it comes to spending and debt, and how we can begin to break those patterns for good.
We discuss:
- What financial wellness really looks like beyond just budgeting
- How emotional triggers show up in spending and saving
- My own story of financial defensiveness (yep, I’m sharing!)
- What to do if you and your partner don’t see eye to eye on money
- How to move forward if you feel stuck in debt or shame
This conversation is heartfelt, eye-opening, and full of the grace we all need when we’re working on our money habits. You are not alone and you are not behind.
