In this episode of F3, JaeVic sits down with Dr. Shay Harris-Pierre, LPC, CFT — a licensed counselor, financial therapist, and host of Shades of Wealth. They talk about how money and mental health connect, and how our emotions, relationships, and upbringing shape the way we handle finances. Dr. Shay breaks down what it’s like to move into a different income level — the pressure, guilt, and family dynamics that can come with that — and how she helps clients manage those shifts in healthy ways. She also shares how money and food can both reflect feelings of comfort, control, or scarcity, and what that says about our emotional wellbeing. Together, they explore how to talk about money without damaging relationships, and what it really means to build wealth that feels aligned with who you are. Dr. Shay leaves listeners with this reminder: your relationship with money often mirrors your relationship with yourself — and both deserve care.
