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.

In this episode of Finance, Fitness & Finesse, JaeVic sits down with Suzy Carbrey, MA, CCC-SLP — an Executive Function and ADHD Coach with a unique background in speech-language pathology — for a conversation about how the brain’s “management system” shapes everything from our finances to our focus.
Together, they break down why executive functioning matters, especially for adults balancing   careers, family, and personal goals. Suzy shares how struggles with organization and impulse control affect our money decisions, why “just get organized” is bad advice, and how building executive function skills can help people with ADHD, chronic disorganization, or burnout reclaim their energy and direction.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like you’re working twice as hard just to keep up, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable steps to create structure and balance in both your financial and personal life.

In this episode of Finance, Fitness & Finesse, JaeVic sits down with Justin Enlow — strategist, advisor, and systems-thinker with an MBA in Finance — for a powerful conversation about how faith, resilience, and community intersect with money. Justin shares the personal and professional experiences that shaped his mission to build financial literacy and sustainable impact through partnerships with small businesses, nonprofits, churches, and local governments.
They dig into everything from the hunger for security that drives our consumption habits to the pride, shame, and cultural attitudes that shape how we view money. Justin also breaks down what it means to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, and why financial resilience is rooted less in what you have and more in how you think.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your own financial journey, curious about the role of faith and values in money management, or passionate about building stronger systems for collective success, this episode offers both big-picture wisdom and practical frameworks you can start applying right away.
