Intro

💬 You earn more than your boyfriend. Your work bestie’s acting weird after your promotion. And your boss just commented “🔥” on your vacation pic.

In this unfiltered Tiger Sisters Hotline episode, Jean and Cherie take on your real-life dilemmas about money, power, and love… from splitting expenses with a partner to navigating awkward office politics. Honest advice, real strategy, and a lots of sisterly tough love.

We share:

✅ What to do when your work bestie turns cold after your promotion

✅ How to handle overfriendly bosses on social media

✅ The red flags in love and friendship when money becomes transactional

✅ How to talk about money with your partner (without making it awkward)

✅ When to split fairly vs. evenly — and why fairness isn’t always 50/50

✅ Why every relationship needs an operating system
