Ep. 91 Money, Emotions & Leaps of Faith w/ Dr. Erika Rasure

September 23, 2025 • Heidi Schalk • Episode 91

Dr. Rasure is a financial therapist and educator with a wealth of experience helping people develop healthier and more positive relationships with their money. As a former financial advisor and university professor, she brings a unique perspective to the topic of personal finance.

Currently, Dr. Rasure is the Chief Financial Wellness Advisor at Beyond Finance, where she works directly with clients struggling with debt, guiding them toward financial freedom. She also serves as Chair of the Research Board for the Financial Therapy Clinical Institute and is a member of the Financial Review Boards for Investopedia, The Balance, VeryWell Family, and VeryWell Parents.

What if your emotions around money could actually fuel your financial freedom instead of holding you back? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Dr. Erika Rasure, financial therapist, consultant, and Chief Financial Wellness Advisor at Beyond Finance. With more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate both the technical and emotional sides of money, Erika shares her inspiring journey from academia to entrepreneurship.

Erika opens up about her early life experiences that shaped her passion for financial wellness, from growing up in a household of insurance agents to facing the loss of her father at a young age. She shares how these experiences led her to shift from pre-law into personal financial planning, eventually becoming a professor, author, and trusted advisor.

In this conversation, Erika breaks down:
✨ Why our relationship with money is always emotional, and how to use that to our advantage.
✨ The fears and limiting beliefs she faced when leaving a secure career in academia to launch her own consulting and financial therapy practice.
✨ The smart steps to take before making a big leap of faith into entrepreneurship.
✨ How gratitude and awareness can be the foundation for financial and life transitions.

If you’ve ever felt called to make a change, whether in your finances, career, or personal life, this episode is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical takeaways to help you move forward with confidence.
