You don’t want to just raise financially savvy kids –– you want to raise financially savvy grown-ups. When you ask people for their advice on parenting, you’ll get a hundred different answers, most of which are probably valid but may not be right for you. Teaching kids about money is the same. In this episode, Tori sits down with financial educator and Certified Financial Planner Bobbi Rebell to talk about her new book, Launching Financial Grown-Ups. In the episode, Bobbi dives into the framework she’s used raising her kids to help them financially thrive and how to build your own financial framework that works best for your family and situation.Learn more about our guests, read episodes transcripts, and get bonus content on our show notes page: www.financialfeministpodcast.comNot sure where to start?

How much does an Olympic athlete REALLY make? Why are women’s athletics so grossly underpaid in comparison to their men’s team counterparts (especially when they’re outperformed at the highest levels *side eye*)? We wanted to know everything about the state of women’s athletics, so we brought in one of the biggest names in women’s sports –– Ilona Maher. You might remember Ilona from her viral TikToks taking you behind the scenes of the 2020 Olympic Games or for her “Beast, Beauty, Brains” slogan. In this episode, Tori and Ilona talk about everything from the challenges of women’s sports to the privilege of access to athletics, to what it’s like dating as an Olympian.Learn more about our guests, read transcripts, and get more financial resources at www.financialfeministpodcast.comNot sure where to start?

We all have a money story, and some (if not almost all) of ours include both big and little “T” trauma that impacts the way we handle finances for the rest of our lives. We wanted to dive into what money trauma is, how it manifests, and how we can become more aware of and work with that trauma for healthier financial practices –– so we asked Millenial Money Expert Shannah Game to join us. In this episode, Shannah and Tori dive into different types of money trauma and how to recognize our own unhealthy patterns and create new ones to help us find peace with our finances.To learn more about our guests, get additional resources, and read episode transcripts, check out our show notes page: https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

If you’re already queasy seeing today’s title –– we’d invite you to push through. Whenever we talk about life insurance, we’re inevitably met with some resistance to talk about the hard subject of death –– but as Ladder’s Janette Angelini shares with us in this episode, Life Insurance is one of the most selfless things you can to for the loved ones in your life. That doesn’t stop there from being “bad” ways to look at life insurance. Today, Tori and Janette discuss the basics of life insurance, how to avoid scams (we’re looking at you, universal life), and why you need to consider this valuable service sooner rather than later.Learn more about our guests, read transcripts, and get additional resources on our show notes page: www.financialfeministpodcast.comLearn more about Ladder (affiliate link): https://ladder.pxf.io/herfirst100k Learn more about your ad choices.
