Send us Fan Mail You’d never run a company with no budget and no plan. So why are you running your own life that way? Are you the unpaid CFO of your own life, doing the job badly without even knowing it? Most women who wing it with money aren’t careless. Nobody ever sat them down and taught them. Melanie left home at 18 with no one to explain the basics. Kristin grew up surrounded by money until 2008 changed everything for her family. Dagmar was a university graduate on a good salary, sure her retirement was “taken care of.” It wasn’t. In this episode you’ll hear: The signs you’re running your finances on autopilotHow much money you need before winging it becomes a choice instead of a riskThe pension trap catching women who have built careers across more than one European countryIf you finish this episode realising you’ve been winging it, good.

Send us Fan Mail Markets keep breaking records. You opened your app, and your number barely moved. You did everything right. You spread your money across funds. Your bank told you that you were well diversified. You believed them. This week, we open up a portfolio that looks perfect on paper and ask the one question your bank statement will never answer for you. You'll also find out what your bank advisor has in common with Francesca's first boyfriend.

Send us Fan Mail "I just need to find a way to make more money." That's the sentence she kept repeating to the people trying to help her. They wanted to give her a pill. Over martinis, all four of us go there: the blurry, uncomfortable line between financial stress and something you'd actually get medicated for. One of us tells the story of the year she lived on £30 a week and watched herself disappear and what actually turned it around (spoiler: it wasn't therapy). We also get into the ten years it can take to realize the voice telling you you're "less than" is lying, what really shifts the moment a woman becomes the bigger earner, and why handing kids money they've actually earned changes everything about how they spend it. In this episode: Why so many "depressive episodes" are really unpaid invoices in disguiseThe uncomfortable thing that happens in a relationship the moment she starts making moreWhat kids do with money once they've had to work for it (it's not what you'd guess)Why you don't need anyone's permission to take your next financial stepYou don't need your partner on board for this one.

You'll learn: Why a real withdrawal can seem to disappear from your balance within months, and what has to be true for that to happenThe difference between having money invested and having an actual plan, and why most people only ever build the first oneWhat's really happening in your body the moment before you click confirm on a withdrawal, and why that feeling isn't a flawWhat it takes to build a portfolio that lets you use your money now without losing the future you're buildingListen now!

Send us Fan Mail A balanced portfolio has historically returned more than 7% a year for decades. So why do so many long-term investors end up with 2% or 3%? In this episode, we break down the real reason behind that gap. It has little to do with one dramatic decision, and a lot to do with something far more common than most investors realize. You'll learn: What a properly built 60/40 portfolio has actually returned over the long run, and how that compares to what most portfolios really captureWhy underperformance almost never comes from a single obvious mistakeThe pattern behind the gap that most people have never actually seen laid out side by sideOne question to ask about your own portfolio's returns, starting todayIf you want to see how much of your portfolio's potential you're actually capturing, book a call with our team.
