Ep #76: In this episode of the "Budget Divas" podcast, our guest is Shari Collins of Glasssibling.com. Shari shares her inspiring journey of resilience and transformation. Shari's story begins with the adoption of her two brothers from Sierra Leone, Africa, which turned into a traumatic and chaotic experience due to their severe behavioral issues. The situation reached a breaking point when one of her adopted brothers set their house on fire, leading to significant emotional trauma. Shari opens up about the challenges she faced, including mistrust of adults, church hurt, and coping through books.

Despite the adversity she faced, Shari describes a pivotal moment in her life when she confronted her anger and questions about God's goodness. She made a conscious decision to trust God and release her anger and resentment. This turning point led her on a path to healing, forgiveness, and building a more positive mindset.

The podcast delves into Shari's financial journey as well, highlighting her shift from a scarcity mindset to a more empowering perspective on money. She discusses her experience with mystery shopping and how it allows her to enjoy life without compromising her social life or overspending. Shari emphasizes the importance of controlling money rather than allowing it to control you, ultimately creating financial freedom.
