    Taxes for Humans: How to Stop Feeling Confused, Intimidated, and Behind

    Taxes can feel intimidating, confusing, and deeply emotional—especially if you're self-employed or earning good money and still feel unsure about what you're doing. In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, sits down with tax expert Hannah Cole to talk about what taxes actually look like in real life—and why so many people feel overwhelmed by them. Hannah shares how her own experience as a working artist led her to become a tax professional and build a company focused on helping people understand their taxes without shame or judgment. Together, Shari and Hannah break down the difference between tax preparation and tax planning, why finding the right accountant matters more than most people realize, and how small decisions throughout the year can significantly impact your tax bill. They also discuss what to do if you owe more than expected, how to think about retirement accounts like IRAs and HSAs, why tax literacy is one of the most powerful financial skills you can build, and the mindset shift that helps you stop seeing taxes as punishment and start seeing them as part of a long-term financial strategy. If you've ever felt confused about taxes, nervous about filing, or frustrated that your tax bill keeps rising as your income grows, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and what to do next. You'll hear why taxes feel so personal, how to evaluate and interview an accountant, what actions you can still take after the year ends, and the simple habits that make tax season dramatically less stressful.

    Why Financial Independence Is About Power—Not Just Money with Eleanor Beaton

    You can be doing well on paper and still feel like you’re one level below where you should be. You’re earning good money. You’re responsible. You’re working hard. But there’s this quiet question in the background: What’s the next move? In this conversation, Shari Rash sits down with leadership coach and entrepreneur Eleanor Beaton to talk about the real drivers behind financial growth for women—power, flexibility, and financial agency.

Since 2016, Eleanor has provided training to over 25,000 women entrepreneurs worldwide. A former chair of the Visiting Women’s Executive Exchange Program at the Yale School of Management, Eleanor has won national awards for her achievements in entrepreneurship, leadership development and business journalism. They explore why so many women unintentionally limit their earning potential in exchange for flexibility, how early money experiences shape our decisions as adults, and why financial independence is about more than income. It’s about having options. Eleanor shares the lessons she learned scaling her own business, including the importance of paying attention to your numbers, creating simple money habits, and focusing on the tasks that actually move your financial life forward. You’ll also hear a powerful discussion about the gender wage gap, the role flexibility plays in earnings, and why second-guessing your goals is often a normal part of growth—not a sign to stop. This episode will help you rethink how you spend your time, how you define success, and how to build the kind of financial life that gives you both freedom and control. You’ll hear why financial agency matters more than income alone, the sneaky mindset block that keeps high-achieving women playing small, how to identify the highest-value tasks in your life, and the one habit that can accelerate your financial progress faster than you expect. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to protect your independence, make more intentional decisions with your time and money, and give yourself permission to go after what you actually want.

Shari also explains what it means to work with a fiduciary, the red flags to watch for when interviewing professionals, and the exact questions you should ask before trusting someone with your money. This episode is not about collecting more experts. It’s about understanding who solves the problem you’re dealing with so you can get the right support at the right time.
