On this episode of Hot Smart Rich, Maggie Sellers sits down with her sister and former CFO of billion-dollar DTC brands, Katie Sellers, to talk about the Hot Smart Rich Money Mindset. The truth? Women are being lied to about money—and it’s making our boyfriends, husbands, brothers, and the men in our lives richer by default. They’re not smarter. They’re just in the room when financial decisions are being made.
Meanwhile, women control 85% of consumer spending—we decide what to buy, where to shop, and which brands blow up. We are the market. But we’re still being left out of wealth-building conversations, especially when it comes to things like angel investing, equity, and financial freedom.
This week, Maggie and Katie go deep on the real money rules that changed their lives—from the 50-20-20-10 budgeting framework to the mental blocks women face when managing money. It’s not just about spreadsheets and savings—this is about power, access, and confidence.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How the wrong money mindset is keeping women from getting rich
How women are unintentionally transferring wealth to men—and how to stop doing it
Why 50-20-20-10 is the budgeting method for ambitious women who want to save, invest, and still live well
Why “being good with money” isn’t about coupons or coffee—it’s about knowing your numbers and owning your worth
What Maggie and Katie wish more women knew about cash flow, investing, and building wealth on your own terms
This isn’t financial advice—it’s a financial awakening. If you’ve ever felt behind, ashamed, or confused when it comes to money, this episode will change the way you think about your bank account, your habits, and your power.
