Description

Money stress doesn't begin at the checkout. For many new and expectant parents, financial anxiety is one of the most invisible but powerful forces shaping the birth experience and early parenting journey. In this episode, Shannon O'Flaherty sits down with Ted McLyman, behavioral finance expert and former U.S. Marine Corps officer, to explore why so many people feel irrational, ashamed, or stuck when it comes to money. Ted's central insight is bold and liberating: money is not a math problem, it's a behavior problem. Drawing on decades of experience, from the Naval Academy to Wall Street to his own reinvention as a behavioral finance coach, Ted reveals why conventional financial advice fails most people, and what actually works instead. Together, Shannon and Ted explore how our money beliefs are rooted in childhood conditioning, cultural values, and emotional wiring, and how understanding your personal money temperament can unlock a completely new relationship with abundance. If financial stress has ever complicated a pregnancy, a new baby, or your sense of worth, this episode is for you.

The Gift You Were Shamed For Is Your Superpower — Jen Kalawur on Empowering the Empath

Jen Kalawur grew up as the oldest of five in an Irish Catholic family in New Jersey — highly sensitive, always knowing things she wasn't supposed to know, and getting backlash every time she said them out loud. From a teenage pregnancy that catalysed her parents' divorce, to a corporate career she quietly outgrew, to a breakthrough moment in a yoga class that brought her to her knees (and her inner child), Jen's path has been anything but linear. Today she helps empaths stop hiding their gifts and start trusting them — through astrology, Akashic record readings, Reiki, somatic coaching, and her signature programme Empower the Empath. This is a conversation about shame, sensitivity, the correlation between trauma and heightened perception, and what it means to finally take the mask off.
