Inspired Budget Podcast host Allison Baggerly sat down with our own Dr. Erika Rasure to talk about something most personal finance advice skips over: the emotional side of money.

- What financial wellness really looks like beyond just budgeting
- How emotional triggers show up in spending and saving
- Financial defensiveness
- What to do if you and your partner don’t see eye to eye on money
