Audio By Carbonatix

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 2, 2025--

Our behaviors, beliefs, and habits around money are holding us back. And today, when money is so tight for the average American, it’s imperative to break down these habits and beliefs if we want to survive. Thirty-year finance veteran Shannon Ryan understands this issue, and Greenleaf Book Group is proud to announce the release of her new book, Your Money Has Feelings: Understand Your Financial Wounds to Find True Freedom (Greenleaf Book Group Press, Sept. 2, 2025, $18.95).

Your Money Has Feelings is available everywhere books are sold.

“Money doesn’t grow on trees, but it sure does grow in our minds and imagination. Shannon Ryan lifts the hood on our inner lives that form our often-complicated relationship with money. By fusing her own vulnerability and professional expertise, Ryan crafts a powerful cocktail to combat economic anxiety. This book guides a path toward a financial roadmap via personal anecdotes. Filled with engaging reflections and prompts, Your Money Has Feelings is a must-read for anyone with nagging emotions around finances—in other words, all of us!”

—Heather Hach Hearne, screenwriter of Freaky Friday and book writer for Legally Blonde: The Musical

Traditional financial advice assumes that we are rational and that we faultlessly seek to maximize our wealth at every opportunity. Ryan’s behavioral approach, on the other hand, recognizes that we act irrationally as a result of psychological biases, emotions, and cognitive errors. This approach empowers readers to transform their money mindsets and behaviors, overcoming biases to make more informed choices by:

• Identifying their unconscious and behavioral biases around money
• Discovering practical techniques for creating a financial life that aligns with their values, using the tenets of both behavioral and traditional finance

“I loved reading this book. As I read each story of real people who overcame fears that blocked their financial happiness, I saw my parents, my friends, and myself. Not everyone overcomes their fears. Shannon shares some of those stories, too. This book points the way, honestly. It has spurred some very healthy and fruitful money conversations among my family, friends, and with my own financial advisor.”

—Eliza Mountcastle Shah, PhD, executive coach, and business owner
