How to Know It’s Time to Leave Your Business (and What “Enough” Really Costs)
What happens after the awareness? After you stop spending on autopilot… how do you start building on purpose?
In part two, Shari connects money mindfulness to business-building — and why your exit number should be based on the life you actually want, not what Instagram says counts as “success.”
Guest Kathryn Finney returns to share how she grew her blog into a real media company, figured out her number, and made the hard call to sell it — even though she could’ve made more by staying.
She also breaks down the difference between a startup and a small business (spoiler: you don’t have to build to sell) and why clarity is more profitable than hype. This is your episode if you’re sitting on a side hustle, business, or creative project and wondering: “Do I grow this… or let it go?”

Why We Spend When We’re Sad: Turning Emotional Purchases Into Purpose
We don’t always spend because we’re “bad with money.” We spend because we’re human — grieving, stressed, lonely, or trying to feel in control.
In this episode, Shari breaks down emotional spending as a signal, not a flaw, and shows you how to start asking the one question that changes everything: “What am I actually trying to feel right now?”
Then you’ll hear from Kathryn Finney, who was shopping to cope after losing a parent… and ended up turning that emotional spending into The Budget Fashionista, one of the earliest successful fashion blogs.
You’ll hear how she redirected that energy, why she started asking “does this match my values?” and how mindful purchasing can actually make you happier.
Perfect if you’ve ever looked at your bank statement and thought, “This isn’t even who I am.”
