Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala, a clinical psychologist and academic researcher, has dedicated her career to developing psychological treatments to help people recover from mental health difficulties. She has focused on proven strategies to shift the personality traits that put people at risk for anxiety, depression, substance misuse, etc. But you don’t need to be struggling with your mental health to take advantage of what the science of personality change has to offer.
What if, instead of letting a personality test tell you what you'd be good at, you identified the life you want and shaped your personality to make those dreams more likely.  Dr. Sauer-Zavala and I discuss proven strategies to nudge your personality traits for success.

Walli's unique approach to personal finance has taken her from the Bronx to millionaire status, all while breaking generational cycles of money mismanagement. Together, we dissect the emotional ties to our wallets and provide listeners with straightforward tips for tracking finances, setting achievable goals, and bravely facing the financial fears that hold many of us back.

Today's conversation goes beyond mere savings and budgeting to explore the heart of our relationship with money. Drawing on Walli's life experiences and my own path to financial independence, we share invaluable insights into the importance of recognizing 'wallet leaks' and making intentional choices about spending and saving. Plus, hear how a no-spend challenge revealed the traps of mindless consumption and how tools like Rocket Money can turn the tide in your favor. We also tackle the taboo of money talk, urging listeners to bring financial discussions into the light to truly understand how to make your income work for you.

About Walli:

Walli is a financial coach and money mentor who went from being an overspender and compulsive shopper to being debt-free and building a 7-figure investment portfolio.
After spending her 20s spending every dollar she earned and saving very little she knew she had to start doing something different. The thought of working for the next 30 to 40 years just to survive wasn’t the life she  wanted. After gaining control of her finances and creating a plan, she became work-optional before the age of 40! Walli is a first generation college graduate, Latina, and daughter of an immigrant. Born and raised in the Bronx, she is the first millionaire in her family.
