Taking Responsibility for Your Finances with Shannon Ryan

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. That's why I'm so excited to talk with Certified Financial Planner Shannon Ryan today. Shannon has over 30 years of experience guiding women, individuals and families through the emotional side of money. The side that doesn't get as much conversation as it needs. Get ready to feel empowered and encouraged to take responsibility for your financial life!   What you'll learn from this episode: Why the emotional side of money matters more than financial tactics Practical steps to overcome financial avoidance and take control How to identify and break destructive money patterns Essential wealth-building strategies for long-term financial freedom   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:55] Financial Psychology & Money Mindset: Shannon's dad was the one who planted seeds in Shannon to understand the emotional side of money.
