Women Shouldn’t Talk About Money… Right? Financial Freedom w/ Kim Shappee

“I shouldn’t talk about money.” “I shouldn’t ask for more.” “I shouldn’t want wealth.”

Kim Shappee, Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor with RBC Wealth Management, founder of the Athena Conference, and a Forbes Top Women Financial Advisor since 2022, joins us to unpack the “shoulds” women carry around money.

From the cultural conditioning that shaped women’s relationship with wealth to the $34 trillion wealth transfer coming to women over the next decade, Kim invites us to rethink power, investing, and financial agency.

If money conversations have ever felt uncomfortable or intimidating, this episode will help you start rewriting your money story.

What is Beyond Should: women reinventing their lives, careers & owning their power?

Beyond Should is a podcast about breaking down the barriers of our “shoulds.”

“I should stay in this job… I should take that meeting… I shouldn’t say how I really feel… I should, I should, I should.” Sound familiar?
But what if everything powerful, beautiful, true, and authentic lives on the other side of should?

Hosted by Lucy Reynolds, certified coach and founder of The Murmuration Collective, Beyond Should invites listeners to stop living in their “shoulds” and start naming, claiming, and pursuing what they deeply want. Through stories, wisdom, and candid conversations with inspiring guests — thought leaders, creative minds, advocates, artists, entrepreneurs, and storytellers — each episode explores courage, self-trust, asking for help, embracing failure, and stepping into a more vibrant, authentic way of living.

Expect laughter, honesty, vulnerability, and the occasional f-bomb as we challenge cultural conditioning, shed inherited expectations, and reclaim personal power.

Because when we show up boldly, we elevate not only our own lives — but the world around us.

Beyond Should premieres on Tuesday, March 10th in honor of Women's History Month. New episodes will be out every other Tuesday.

Follow on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever good podcasts are found. See you on the other side of Should!
