Do you feel financially confident? Does that question make you uncomfortable? Money is practical but it’s also emotional, and like clutter, avoiding it only makes things heavier.

This week I’m joined by Emily Batdorf and Cassidy Horton, financial coaches and hosts of the Finance Girlies podcast. They help millennial and Gen Z women who’ve felt bored, intimidated or shamed by traditional financial advice build a healthier relationship with money.

We talk about:

• How a friendship bracelet inspired the Finance Girlies
• What Cassidy learned paying off $18,000 of debt in 10 months and why extreme frugality isn’t meant to last forever
• Why so much of what women spend on gets labelled “frivolous”
• How marketing convinces us we have problems we don’t
• Shopping out of stress, boredom or for our aspirational selves
• Practical first steps when you feel stuck: reviewing and rating your purchases, listing your debts and cutting back gradually instead of cold turkey
• Simple pause tools like the 24-hour rule, visualizing the purchase at home and keeping your receipts
