30 Is Not the Deadline: Kate Berski on Beating Financial Anxiety and Growing Real Wealth


Listen Later

Feeling like you’re running out of time to “get it together” financially? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not behind.

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, host Shari Rash sits down with author, entrepreneur, and creator of The 30Phobia Project, Kate Berski, who went from broke at 29 to millionaire by 39. She’s proof that financial timelines are made up—and that it’s never too late to take charge of your money, your mindset, and your future.

Kate gets real about the financial anxiety so many of us feel in our 30s, the pressure to hit unrealistic milestones, and the myth that saving alone will get you to wealth. Instead, she shares how shifting her mindset, increasing her income, and letting go of comparison unlocked the life—and bank account—she always dreamed of.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why your 30s (and 40s!) are the perfect time to build real wealth

  • The most common money lies we believe—and how to replace them

  • How to earn more without burning out or starting over

  • The truth about social media, comparison, and financial shame

  • How short-term risks can lead to long-term financial wins

    Whether you're stuck in a job that doesn’t pay you what you’re worth, struggling with financial insecurity, or just tired of feeling “behind,” this conversation will inspire you to rethink your path—and start building wealth on your timeline.
