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.

Hey Financial Feminists, Tori here. I recorded this episode in a quiet moment just after the recent election, with the hope it reaches those of you feeling a mix of exhaustion, grief, and perhaps even frustration. If you've found yourself questioning your hope, or if you're wrestling with the weight of the world as we navigate through these uncertain times, I hope you’ll join me as I share how I've chosen to respond to this moment.

Content warning: conversations surrounding disordered eating, sexual assault, rape

Hey Financial Feminists! Today’s conversation is one that’s going to challenge the way you see yourself and the world. I sat down with Elise Loehnen — New York Times bestselling author and host of the "Pulling the Thread" podcast — to unpack how the seven deadly sins have been used to keep women small and compliant for centuries. We talk about the trap of trying to be a “good girl” in a society that often tells us to stay quiet, how Elise looks to the seven deadly sins as a framework for what patriarchy sees as a “good girl” and why it’s all bullshit, and how to reclaim our desires, ambitions, and freedom by breaking the rules.

Today's episode is an important one, and the contents will affect every woman you know. I chatted with Amanda Becker — a seasoned journalist who has covered national politics for nearly two decades — about the unprecedented nature of our current political scene.

We took a critical look at Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation, a plan proposing significant changes to LGBTQ rights, gender policies, reproductive rights, and education. We broke down who's behind it and what it could mean for healthcare, labor policies, and American families. This isn’t just about politics; this is about the power of grassroots democracy and the importance of civic engagement. We share practical advice on how you can get involved and make your voice heard. Plus, we include powerful stories about reproductive healthcare and community organizing that I think will resonate with you. So, if you're ready to be informed and inspired, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
