    THIS Is How You Build Generational Wealth ft. Vivian Tu

    #344: In our final episode of the Lucky Girls Invest series, I’m sitting down with Vivian Tu — aka Your Rich BFF — for a conversation that might change how you think about money forever.

    From Wall Street to building a multi-platform empire and becoming one of the most trusted voices in personal finance, Vivian has built a career breaking down money in a way that actually lands. And in this episode, she’s not holding anything back.

    We get into the real story behind how she built wealth — starting with a formative moment that shaped her entire relationship with money, to the years of building behind the scenes that no one saw, to the mindset shifts that took her from chasing status to building actual financial power.

    This isn’t surface-level advice, it’s the conversation behind the conversation, the stuff people don’t usually say out loud about money, ambition, relationships, and what it really takes to create a life that feels rich on your terms.

    We talk about the difference between making money and keeping it, why so many people stay stuck in the cycle of looking successful instead of being secure, and how to think about generational wealth in a way that actually lasts.

    We also get into the spicy stuff: money in relationships, why you should always have your own account, and the quiet ways people sabotage their financial future without realizing it.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not getting ahead — this episode is your reset.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’ve made money but still feel like you’re not actually building wealth
    • You’re ready to understand the difference between earning vs. keeping vs. growing your money
    • You want to break out of the cycle of spending to look successful and start building a life rooted in freedom, time, and real financial security
    • You’re curious what people actually mean when they say “generational wealth”
    • You’re ready to shift your mindset from chasing opportunities to positioning yourself for them (aka creating your own luck)
    • You’ve ever questioned your relationship with money and want to rewrite the narrative.
    • You’re navigating money in romantic relationships and want to do it with clarity, boundaries, and transparency
    • You want to understand how to invest — not just in the market, but in your life, your energy, and the version of you that actually feels rich

    You Don’t Need Millions to Start Investing—Here’s What You Need ft. Jaclyn Johnson

    #343: In this week’s installment of the Lucky Girls Invest series, I’m sitting down with entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Create & Cultivate, Jaclyn Johnson, for a conversation that completely reframed how I think about money, power, and investing.

    Jaclyn was actually the person who helped me make my first angel investment—so this episode feels especially full circle.

    We get into what it really looks like to go from operator to investor, how she built and exited a multi-million dollar business, and why angel investing might be more accessible than you think.

    But beyond the numbers, this is really a conversation about ownership… of your career, your capital, and your future. Because there’s a difference between chasing opportunities and being the person who gets to fund them.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’re ready to stop chasing opportunities and start becoming the person who decides who gets a seat at the table
    • You’ve been curious about angel investing, but need someone to actually break down how it works
    • You want to understand the real difference between angel investing and venture capital
    • You’re wondering when to raise money, how much to raise, and what mistakes to avoid early
    • You’ve ever questioned whether you’re “thinking big enough”—and want to understand why the boldest vision in the room often gets funded
    • You want to learn how to spot founders who actually win
    • You’re interested in building wealth beyond your primary income
    • You need proof that one aligned decision can change everything (like turning a $10K investment into a $1.2M outcome)

    How to Invest Like Emma Grede

    #342: In this week's episode of She’s So Lucky, we’re continuing our Lucky Girls Invest series with a guest who defines what it means to build power, wealth, and legacy — Emma Grede.

    This is one of those conversations.

    The kind that recalibrates how you think about money, ambition, and what it actually takes to create the life you say you want.

    In this episode, I sit down with Emma for an unfiltered, deeply tactical conversation on what it means to invest. Not just in the market, but in yourself, your relationships, and your long-term vision. From her early days growing up in East London to building and scaling multi-billion-dollar companies, Emma breaks down the real decisions, trade-offs, and mindset shifts that got her here.

    We talk about the difference between being in proximity to power and actually having it. Why so many people are distracted by visibility instead of focusing on what truly moves the needle. And how learning to think like an investor – before you ever write a check – can completely change the trajectory of your life.

    This episode is packed with gems and never-before-told stories from Emma, it’s the kind of insight you only get from someone who has actually done the work, built the businesses, and made the money.

    If you’re serious about building wealth, stepping into your ambition, and operating at a higher level… this one is required listening.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You’re ready to move differently when it comes to money, power, and decision-making — and start thinking like an investor in your own life
    • You’ve been caught up in visibility, networking, or “being in the room” and are ready to refocus on what actually moves the needle.
    • You’re learning how to prioritize yourself, your vision, and your goals without guilt or second-guessing.
    • You want to shift from asking “how do I get in the room?” to becoming the person who owns the room.
    • You’re navigating your relationship with money from scarcity, to stability, to building real wealth.
    • You want to understand why profit matters more than perception
    • You’re building (or want to build) something of your own and need clarity on what actually makes a business… a business.
    • You’re ready to invest in the relationships that matter and stop overextending yourself in one-sided dynamics.
    • You need the reminder that ambition requires discomfort and that choosing yourself is the work.

    How to Invest Your Way to a Luckier Life

    #341: This month on She's So Lucky, we're kicking off Lucky Girls Invest — a full month of conversations dedicated to investing in our luck, and our futures.

    April is Financial Literacy Month, and I wanted to kick off the series with a candid conversation about investing that I genuinely wish someone had with me when I was younger.

    In this solo episode, I'm sharing my personal investing origin story — from growing up with a scarce mentality to accidentally opening a 401k at 20 years old as a college intern because someone said the words "employer match" and "free money." That one decision, that I barely even understood at the time, has been compounding for over 15 years and could potentially fund my retirement on its own.

    I'm also getting into the moment that changed how I think about money, power, and who gets to make the decisions — because there is a fundamental difference between being someone who's always chasing a deal and being someone who gets to write the check. That shift in perspective is why I'm so passionate about this series, why I made my first angel investment, and why I want more of us in these rooms.

    We're spending all of April talking about the different ways you can invest through conversations that will help redefine what generational wealth means to you. But first, I wanted to set the stage and give you the "why" behind all of it. Because investing isn't just a financial strategy. It's an act of hope. And right now, hope feels like a radical thing.


    This episode is for you if...

    • You grew up without a lot of financial education and feel like you're playing catch-up.
    • You've been told that a good job is enough — and you're starting to wonder if that's actually true.
    • You don't have a ton of money right now, but you want to understand investing before you do.
    • You feel like certain opportunities — angel investing, venture capital, real estate — are for "other people" and not for you.
    • You've been in rooms where other people were making the big decisions, and you're ready to be the one calling the shots.
    • You want to understand the difference between investing in yourself and investing your money — and why you need both.
    • You're ready to stop begging for someone to give you a shot and start thinking about how to be the one who gives shots.
    • You believe in a future worth building toward — even when it's hard to see right now.

    The Truth About Hair Health (That No One Talks About) ft. Nutrafol’s Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd

    #340: In this bonus episode, I'm sitting with Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, board-certified dermatologist and Chief Medical Advisor at Nutrafol, to unpack the science behind hair health and why the conversation around thinning, shedding, and scalp care deserves so much more openness—especially for women.

    We talk about how stress, hormones, aging, and even our daily habits impact our hair in ways most of us don’t fully understand. This conversation really shifted how I think about hair. Not just as something aesthetic, but as a reflection of what’s going on in our bodies. From scalp health to nutrition to the emotional side of hair loss, Dr. Heather breaks it all down in a way that actually makes sense.

    If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or even a little alone in your hair journey… this one is for you.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’ve noticed changes in your hair (thinning, shedding, breakage) and don’t fully understand why
    • You want to better understand the connection between stress, hormones, and hair health
    • You’ve been focusing on products but not thinking about what’s happening internally
    • You’re curious about scalp health
    • You want to learn how to take care of your hair the right way
    • You want a more informed, grounded approach to investing in yourself—starting with your health


    This episode is brought to you by Nutrafol. Let your hair be one less thing to worry about. See visibly thicker, stronger, faster growing hair in 3–6 months with Nutrafol.

    Stop Taking Yourself Off the Pedestal ft. Essence Iman of Slutty Founder

    #339: All month long on The Business of You series, we’ve been talking about building, but what happens when you feel the pull to walk away? That’s what we’re covering in our final installment with Essence Iman, ex-founder, writer, and the voice behind Slutty Founder, one of the most honest and entertaining spaces on the internet for real talk about business.

    Essence built an award-winning, cult-favorite body care brand from just $200. She gained industry recognition, built a real community around it, and then did something most people couldn't wrap their heads around: she walked away, happily and on purpose.

    In this conversation, we get into what it really means to trust yourself enough to close a chapter — and why that decision doesn't have to come with a catastrophe attached to it. We talk about the founder mentality and what all of us, business owners or not, can learn from it. Essence breaks down why you should never take yourself off the pedestal, what it means to tell your story like you know how you got there, and why "you know what you’re doing" might be the most underrated piece of advice.

    We also get into the beauty industry — why it's become so crowded, why it continues to be such a difficult place to build, and where Essence thinks the real opportunities are for women ready to build something different.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You're questioning whether it's time to walk away from something — a job, a business, a chapter.
    • You struggle with imposter syndrome or have a hard time owning your wins out loud.
    • You've been thinking about starting a business but feel locked into the idea that it has to look a certain way.
    • You want to understand what a portfolio career actually looks like in practice.
    • You need someone to remind you that your success is not an accident.
    • You're building something and want the kind of real, unfiltered founder perspective you're not going to find in a business book.

    How to Raise Your Personal Valuation with KK Hart

    #338: In this week's episode of The Business of You series, I’m sitting down with investor, advisor, and operator KK Hart to talk about what it really means to treat yourself like an asset.

    KK has spent her career evaluating businesses — where value is created, where it leaks, and what actually drives long-term growth. But the real insight? Applying that same lens to ourselves.

    In this conversation, we unpack the mindset shifts that move you from simply having a job or business to building an ecosystem of ownership, investments, and opportunities. KK shares the story behind building her first millions, the secret wealth-building strategies people don’t talk about, and how thinking like an acquirer — not just a founder — can completely change the trajectory of your wealth.

    We also talk about the emotional side of success because the business of you isn’t just about what you build — it’s about how you value yourself, structure your life, and decide what freedom actually looks like.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You want more ownership in your life and career.
    • You're ready to start thinking like an investor, not just a worker.
    • You’re building something but feel unsure about funding, exits, or scaling.
    • You’re intimated the intricacies of investing.
    • You’re curious about investing, acquisitions, or alternative assets.
    • You want to learn about alternative investments like acquisitions and family offices.
    • You want to increase your personal “valuation” by developing the skills, mindset, and financial habits that compound over time.
    • You’re rethinking success and want to build wealth, freedom, and impact in a way that actually aligns with your life.

    What Happens When You Stop Drinking and Start Building

    #337: Dry January + finding inspiration in the group chat can lead to a compelling fresh start.

    In this week’s episode of The Business of You series, I'm joined by the founders of Sensori. Three best friends who took their business idea out of the group chat and into the world. Built on their shared curiosity around wellness, Shanna, Ashlyn, and Darean built a fast-growing functional beverage brand.

    We talk about what it really looks like to build a business with your friends, the messy middle of figuring it out as you go, and why sometimes the smartest move is to move fast and trust that you’ll figure the rest out along the way.

    From putting the first formulation on a credit card to raising their first round of capital and navigating the very real challenges of scaling a product business, this conversation highlights the what it actually takes to go from idea to execution without sugarcoating or glamorizing the early stages.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You’ve thought about starting something with your friends and wondered if the idea in the group chat could become a real business.
    • You’re curious what it actually takes to launch a physical product.
    • You want an honest look at funding a business and betting on yourself.
    • You’re interested in cutting back on alcohol.
    • You want to understand how founders handle selling out of inventory.
    • You want insight into scaling from DTC to retail and distribution.
    • You’re building a brand and trying to turn audience into revenue.

    Stop Letting People Play in Your Face: Knowing Your Worth with Alex Hill

    #336: In this week’s installment of The Business of You series, I’m sitting down with Alex Hill — recipe developer, community builder, and the woman behind Just Add Hot Sauce — to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself as a solopreneur and what it truly means to stop letting people play in your face, including yourself.

    This conversation is about the moment before the leap. The panic attack that becomes the pivot. The $25K savings goal. The train that’s moving whether you’re ready or not.

    If you’re truly going to be the CEO of your life, it means you know your worth, and you move like it.

    We talk about turning content into capital, building a brand without letting the algorithm own you, and why “being the product” is both the source of opportunity and pressure. Because it’s one thing to go viral. It’s another thing to build a business that can outlive the internet.

    The Business of You is about ownership. Not just of your talent, but of your trajectory. This conversation is a masterclass in zooming out before the world decides your next move for you.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You know you’re talented but you’re still figuring out how to think like the CEO of your own life.
    • You want to move from scarcity to leverage.
    • You want to learn the difference between being creative and being strategic.
    • You’re ready to build real ownership.
    • You want to stop performing for the algorithm.
    • You’re learning that saying yes built the foundation but saying no builds the future.
    • You’re tired of shaking your ass for Kohl’s cash and are ready to build real equity.

    You Are the Asset: Stop Waiting for Permission and Start Moving Like a CEO

    #335: In this months solo episode I'm kicking off our series for the month of March, The Business of You, by having a very real conversation about what it actually means to be the CEO of your life.

    I’m getting candid on where I actually am in my business right now — the uncomfortable questions I’m sitting with, the pressure of building something meaningful in a world that only seems to reward numbers, and what it feels like when your vision refuses to fit into a neat little content box. This episode is about identifying your real assets, cutting your liabilities, reclaiming your agency, and making CEO-level decisions for your life. Even when you’re still in the messy middle and don’t have it all figured out.

    Let’s build the business of you intentionally and strategically.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’ve been building something quietly and you’re wondering if it’s enough.
    • You feel the tension between staying authentic and doing what “works.”
    • You know you’re capable of more, but you’ve been waiting to be chosen instead of deciding to choose yourself.
    • You’re tired of being valuable to everyone else but unclear on how to value yourself.
    • You’ve been focused on what you don’t have instead of learning how to leverage the cards you do have.
    • You want to stop moving like an employee in your own life and start thinking strategically about your assets, your liabilities, and your equity.
    • You’re ready to make at least one CEO-level decision this month. One that protects your peace, raises your standards, and moves you closer to your long-term vision.

    How to Stop Undervaluing Yourself ft. Kameron Monet

    #334: You can’t manifest what you don’t protect. And if you’re still doing deals in DMs and hoping for the best… we need to talk.

    In the last episode of the How to Get What You Want series, I’m joined by attorney and tech founder Kameron Monet to get into the parts of the process we don’t romanticize enough: the structure. The contracts. The negotiation. The uncomfortable emails. Because manifestation is cute — but protection is power.

    Our conversation goes beyond vision boards and affirmations and into the tactical moves that actually secure the life you’re building. We talk about how to negotiate with conviction, what “perpetuity” really means (and why you should care), why you should never start work without a signed agreement, and how to stop leaving money on the table — whether you’re a creator or a corporate girl.

    If you want more, you need the courage to ask for it and the infrastructure to keep it.

    This episode is your reminder that getting what you want isn’t just about desire. It’s about protecting your hard work, discipline and clarity with the right education.

    This episode is for you if…

    • You’ve ever accepted an offer too quickly and regretted it later.
    • You want more money, more opportunities and more ownership but don’t know where to start.
    • You feel intimidated by negotiation and you want to overcome that.
    • You don’t know what the “rule of three” is.
    • You’ve worked without an agreement in place.
    • You’re dipping your toes into the creator economy.
    • You’re new to the world of corporate.
    • You’ve signed contracts without fully understanding the terms.
