Money isn’t just about numbers. It’s about worth, safety, and possibility. Yet most of us were never taught how to handle it, and many of us carry fear, shame, or scarcity when it comes to our finances.

In this episode, Sarah talks with Priya Malani, Founder and CEO of Stash Wealth and host of The F Word podcast, about how to demystify money and reclaim financial confidence. Together they explore why money is a neutral tool, how to shift from fear to empowerment, and why aligning your finances with your values is one of the most radical forms of care.

You’ll hear:

• Why money is so emotionally charged and how to navigate the fear and shame it brings up

• How to break the cycle of scarcity, feast-or-famine, and “I’m just bad with money” beliefs

• Simple, practical steps to create financial stability like automation and emergency funds

• Why wealth isn’t about greed but about amplifying your values and goals

• How to stay grounded and intentional with money during uncertain times
