Financial Feminist

What do reality TV and the past few years of real estate have in common? There’s lots of drama, and no one really knows what’s going on. We’re kidding (mostly), but with the way the housing market has changed over the last few years (and even decades), talking to an expert is a great first step to better understanding the current market and the home buying process. This week, Tori is joined by Selling Sunset’s Maya Vander, who helps break down the home buying process and shares her thoughts on the current and upcoming markets and what to keep in mind as a buyer besides just the financials. And, of course, we get into her time on Netflix’s Selling Sunset and learn some surprising facts about what the show does and doesn’t pay for. Learn more about our guests, read episode transcripts, get resources from the show, and more on our show notes page: https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/ Learn more about your ad choices.

She guides you through what ultimately stopped her from signing the contract and what considerations you might need to keep in mind when you’re deciding if renting or buying is in your best interest.Get resources mentioned in the show, learn more about our guests, and read episode transcripts: https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Where did the myth of the “starving artist” begin? Why did it become so pervasive, and is it even true? Or is it just another way for a society that doesn’t value art and arts careers to push creators into “traditional” roles? Today, we’re joined by actor, comedian, and Emmy-nominated writer Chelsea Devantez. You’ve laughed at Chelsea’s wit on The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls 5Eva, and Bless This Mess. You might also know her from her podcast, Celebrity Book Club, where she recaps famous celebrity memoirs. In this episode, Tori and Chelsea dive into the mythology of the starving artist, breaking into male-dominated industries, and how Chelsea is working to build a more inclusive space in comedy and media.
