Clear Intentions with Diane Boden
Take a brief survey of the show to help with future content.
Is your mindset helping or hurting your financial future? In this episode, I spoke with the author of Wealth is a Mindset, Shang Saavedra, to explore the emotional and psychological side of personal finance. Shang shares her journey as an "accidental author" and reveals how financial freedom is about more than budgets—it’s about understanding yourself, past traumas, and ingrained habits. We discuss the impact of social media on spending, the importance of financial conversations in relationships, and how parents can set their children up for success. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on money, mindset, and lasting financial well-being.
Shang Saavedra is the Founder and CEO of Save My Cents, an influential personal-finance website and social-media platform. Saavedra teaches readers the key habits and behaviors needed to become less fearful of money and live life with joy. Saavedra was named one of the "25 Most Influential New Voices of Money" by TIME/NextAdvisor in 2022 and is an Expert Reviewer and Contributor at CNET Money. She received her bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard and her MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Saavedra and her husband finished saving for their retirement by the age of 31 and now live a work-optional life in Southern California with their two boys and two cats.
The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors. Choosing brands that I believe in is important to me. I only want to recommend brands that I believe may help you in your daily life. As always, never feel pressured into buying anything. Remember: if you don't need it, it's not a good deal!
