Have you ever felt guilty about wanting more money? Have you ever felt shame around wanting to charge more or get paid more? This special ‘Best of 2024’ episode of Financial Feminist tackles the deep-seated societal narratives that discourage women from pursuing financial security and independence and exposes the double standard that exists around money and wealth. Men are celebrated for their financial success, while women are expected to be selfless and prioritize the needs of others, often at the expense of their own financial well-being.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to challenge the status quo and build a life of financial freedom.

Have you ever felt like the holiday season leaves you more frazzled than fulfilled? I have, and in this episode, I’m diving deep into why the end of the year can feel so overwhelming—and how embracing rest in all its forms can be your secret weapon against burnout, stress, and the constant hustle that dominates our lives. From exploring seven distinct types of rest (yes, there are actually seven!) and their impact on our mental, emotional, and financial well-being, to discussing the subtle differences between simply having time off and truly recharging, this conversation is all about finding sustainable peace amidst the holiday chaos. Plus, I’ll share personal stories—from my family’s favorite holiday movies to my journey with an energy coach—and reveal how rest can help you show up as your best self in 2025 and beyond.

“If you are stacking your day with so many habits and routines that you don't have any time to sit and just be or to enjoy your life or to play or to run into spontaneity, that's not wellness.”

Our guest today is Liz Moody, host of the top-rated “The Liz Moody Podcast” and author of the book 100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success.” In this deeply insightful conversation, Liz is sharing her own wellness journey, what she’s learned along the way, and giving us actionable tips we can use to cultivate meaningful change.

Hey Financial Feminists I'm beyond excited to bring you an eye-opening conversation with Marina Gerner, the author of The Vagina Business.

From a young age, women are conditioned to take on more for less — whether it’s in the workplace, housework, raising children, or other unpaid labor. Today’s guest is inviting us to let go of some of these expectations and find freedom in dropping the ball. In this special replay episode, I speak to Tiffany Dufu — author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less and the founder of The Cru, an organization dedicated to helping women reach their professional goals. We discussed the many ways and reasons why women often take on more than they need to, and how in the process of letting go, find new freedom to achieve more in their professional and personal lives.

TW: disordered eating

Hey Financial Feminists, Tori here! As we get ready to dive into the holiday season—a time overflowing with festive foods and, unfortunately, food guilt—I sat down with the incredible Deanna Wolfe, a registered dietitian and business coach, to unpack the pervasive impact of diet culture on our lives. We're exploring how diet culture impacts our day-to-day lives and the sneaky ways it continues to perpetuate disordered eating. We're talking about intuitive eating, Ozempic, BMI, all of the buzzwords and topics you’ve been hearing about, and ways to start healing your own self-image and relationship with your body.
