I Was Wrong About January (And What It Cost Me)
Thu Feb 05 2026
January is loud, but avoiding your money doesn't make the noise go away.
In this episode of From Middle Class to Millions, Shannon breaks from traditional personal finance advice to talk about money mindset, limiting beliefs, and wealth-building for high earners who are tired of feeling unsure despite making good money.
This isn't an investing-for-beginners episode or a budgeting how-to. It's a real conversation about why smart, responsible professionals still feel anxious about money - and how the stories you tell yourself can quietly cap your financial growth.
Through reflection, real client outcomes, and a surprising January breakthrough, Shannon shares:
Why January is actually a powerful time for financial planning
The difference between earning well and building lasting wealth
How high earners get dismissed and why that keeps them stuck
What changed when one belief shifted (and another woman crossed a $1M net worth)
Why waiting for the "right time" is the most expensive money habit there is
If you're a six-figure earner who wants clarity, confidence, and a plan that works with your real life, and not against it, this episode will hit home.
Ready to stop thinking about your money and start using it intentionally?
