Minimalism isn’t about cold white walls, tossing your kid’s favorite toys when they’re not looking, or never buying another throw pillow again. It’s about being radically intentional with your space, your time, and your money — and learning how to clear what’s cluttering your life, both physically and emotionally.

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari sits down with globally recognized home organizing expert and bestselling author Shira Gill, whose books Minimalista, Organized Living, and LifeStyled have transformed how people across the world think about clutter.

Together, they unpack what minimalism really looks like (hint: it’s not about deprivation), how to raise kids who value their things without hoarding them, and how simplifying your home can lead to greater financial confidence, more time, and more freedom.

Whether your kitchen counter is your current catch-all or your closet is basically a time capsule, this episode will help you get unstuck and start fresh — no color-coded labels required.

Why do we keep making money decisions that go against our best interests? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Hanna Horvath, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and financial psychology expert, to unpack why our brains are literally wired to sabotage our financial goals—and what we can do to change that.

Hanna shares powerful insights from her work as the creator of “Your Brain on Money,” explaining how cognitive biases like loss aversion and decision fatigue impact everything from investing to impulse spending. We also dive into why more money doesn’t automatically equal more peace, how to align your financial habits with your core values, and practical strategies to work with your brain rather than against it.

Plus, Hanna reveals the simple mindset shifts that can help you spend without guilt, stop financial perfectionism in its tracks, and finally break free from those unconscious money scripts that are keeping you stuck.
