Hey Financial Feminists! Today’s conversation is one that’s going to challenge the way you see yourself and the world. I sat down with Elise Loehnen — New York Times bestselling author and host of the "Pulling the Thread" podcast — to unpack how the seven deadly sins have been used to keep women small and compliant for centuries. We talk about the trap of trying to be a “good girl” in a society that often tells us to stay quiet, how Elise looks to the seven deadly sins as a framework for what patriarchy sees as a “good girl” and why it’s all bullshit, and how to reclaim our desires, ambitions, and freedom by breaking the rules.

Today's episode is an important one, and the contents will affect every woman you know. I chatted with Amanda Becker — a seasoned journalist who has covered national politics for nearly two decades — about the unprecedented nature of our current political scene.

We took a critical look at Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation, a plan proposing significant changes to LGBTQ rights, gender policies, reproductive rights, and education. We broke down who's behind it and what it could mean for healthcare, labor policies, and American families. This isn’t just about politics; this is about the power of grassroots democracy and the importance of civic engagement. We share practical advice on how you can get involved and make your voice heard. Plus, we include powerful stories about reproductive healthcare and community organizing that I think will resonate with you. So, if you're ready to be informed and inspired, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

What happens when the doctrines of faith and control intersect with a woman's autonomy? In this episode, I sat down with Tia Levings, author of the powerful memoir “A Well-Trained Wife,” and her story will leave you speechless. Tia dives deep into her experience growing up in and escaping from Christian fundamentalism and the trad wife movement— before it was even called that. We talk about how patriarchal control impacts women financially, emotionally, and physically, and how that same mindset influences the political movements we're seeing today. If you've ever wondered how personal freedom intersects with religion, politics, and financial independence, this is the episode for you.

CW: Brief discussion of suicide and depression.

If you are neurodivergent, and especially if it took you a while to receive a diagnosis, you know what it’s like to feel different. Paige Layle struggled through her childhood and early teens –– feeling frustrated by everything from the feel of her clothing to how to behave socially around her peers. It wasn’t until she was formally diagnosed with Autism in her late teens that she finally understood why her struggles felt so different from those around her. 

In this episode, Paige joins host Tori Dunlap to discuss the nuances and stigma around being an autistic woman, detailing her journey to diagnosis, misconceptions about autism, the unique ways autistic brains function, and the importance of creating neurodiverse-friendly environments. Paige also touches on her transition to entrepreneurship, handling finances, and the impact of her advocacy on others.

Is the “Dream Job” dead? With Pew Research reporting that Americans are 2x more likely to name their career than their spouse when asked what gives their lives meaning, it makes the case that, at the very least, we should reevaluate just how much space we let work take up in our lives. In this episode, Tori sits down with Simone Stolzoff, author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work, to talk about our infatuation with our jobs and how this obsession often ultimately leads to disappointment and burnout.

There is so much discrimination in sex work –– from “pretty privilege” to body shaming to racism and misogyny, sex workers are often facing roadblocks both in their work and in trying to manage their finances. To better understand the finances of sex work, we sat down with Grey Renee, a professional stripper and educator, to talk about her time working in clubs across the US. We get into why it’s so hard to find a good accountant (like, the real accountants), how she’s navigated pricing her services, what a good and bad night looks like financially, and dive into a question that’s been long debated –– is sex work feminist?

The banking industry has come under intense scrutiny in recent years and for good reasons. Banks are a tool, but like any financial tool, if you don’t know how to use them and ask the right questions, this same tool that can be so helpful in your financial journey can be just as harmful. Today, we welcome back Vrinda Gupta, owner and founder of Sequin –– banking for women, by women –– to talk about all the ways that banks make money off a lack of financial literacy and targeting already vulnerable communities.

Oh, say, can you seeeeee that a lot of shit has been going down in the last few years (and days) here in the US of A that hasn’t made us feel too patriotic. Between systemic racism, gun violence, slashed access to reproductive healthcare, and more, we’ve found ourselves asking the question, “How do we engage with a system that feels like it’s failing us?” We brought back one of our favorite guests, Emily Tisch Sussman, former political consultant, to share all of the ways we can get more involved in creating a government that truly works for us –– from non-partisan volunteering to making it easier for everyone to vote, to effectively wielding the power we have as citizens to get our representatives to listen to us on the issues we care about. Because, truly, our bodies are on the ballot.

The stats start hopeful –– more women in college, more women in the workforce, more women in the c-suite –– but life for women in the United States continues to feel like two steps forward and ten steps back. Recently, theSkimm wanted to better understand how women were feeling about things like job prospects, healthcare, parenting, mental health, and more. So, they partnered with The Harris Poll to conduct a study of women from all different demographics to create their truly eye-opening report on the State of Women Today. Today, Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg join host Tori Dunlap to break down that report and talk about the ways we can work day to day to make the lives of women in the United States better and more equitable.

We’re joined by Molly Fletcher, known as the female Jerry Maguire, to talk about her time working her way up the ladder in the sports agent industry, how she’s negotiated millions of dollars of deals, and why she believes being the “only woman in the room” is her greatest secret weapon.

If the word “networking” leaves you *screaming-crying-throwing-up* –– you’re not alone. Networking hasn’t always had a negative connotation, but in recent years, networking events just feel like brag fests and places to collect business cards that will probably end up in a shoebox in the back of your closet. But networking doesn’t have to be hundred people events or sliding into people’s DMs unsolicited –– when done well, it can establish powerful connections with industry leaders and mentors that can help set you on the best path to success in your career long-term. To talk about the power of authentic networking, we sat down with Aleenah Ansari to talk about how she used networking to help land a job in tech without the traditional background or experience. Tori and Aleenah walk through what works and doesn’t work when you’re trying to connect with others in your career and how you might be missing a key step to building lasting relationships.

It’s estimated that 54 million people in the United States have a disability –– so how does this impact them financially and an individual level, and all of us, regardless of disability status as a societal level? Tori is joined by Xian Horn, a disability advocate, writer, and founder of the non-profit, Give Beauty Wings, to talk about the financial challenges facing people with disabilities.

The United States hates mothers. At least, their woefully inadequate policies, like no federally mandated paid parental leave, lack of access to affordable childcare, and increased criminalization of women’s health care and reproductive rights, seem to suggest so. It’s no wonder that many who (or hope to) enter parenthood feel completely abandoned by society and often have to make increasingly difficult decisions about how they’ll even be able to manage having a child in the first place. We’re tackling this subject head-on with Emily Tisch Sussman –– the author of the viral article “Motherhood Killed My Career” and podcast host of the She Pivots podcast. Emily joins Tori to talk about her own experience becoming a mother while working on high-profile political campaigns, how she pivoted her career as a result, and what she’s learned as an advocate for progressive policies for families.

Entrepreneurship is more popular than ever –– both because of accessibility but also the necessity to make more, whether that’s by adding a side hustle onto your full-time job or building out a business that allows you to have more control over your earnings. Often, women report feeling anxiety around starting a small business, and many start but pre-emotively give up just before it gets good. To talk more about the mental blocks that might be stopping you from giving that business idea a shot, host Tori Dunlap is joined by Amy Porterfield, who shares how she left a blossoming corporate career to work for herself and the mistakes and wins she made along the way.

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*)?

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.

The world is obsessed with cults –– and there are more documentaries and true crime podcasts than ever on some of the most controversial organizations. But not every cult is so apparent, and there are smaller, less insidious-seeming figures that are doing harm daily, especially to women and other already marginalized communities. To better understand how these organizations operate, we sat down with Dr. Janja Lalich, who has dedicated her life to the study of cults and helping members and their families get out and recover. She vulnerably shares about her time in a cult and the ways in which cults use emotional manipulation and abuse against women.

Women are told from a young age to make themselves smaller –– physically, mentally, and emotionally. This leads to playing small in our careers, with our finances, and in so many other ways in our day-to-day lives. These messages usually start in wellness spaces with the often toxic messaging around the New Year that only encourages this continuous pursuit of being “small.” So we sat down with Sadie Lincoln, the founder of Barre3, to talk about getting comfortable taking up space in all aspects of our lives (but especially physically), why she rebuffs the idea that anyone needs a guru, and how she used the same resilience she teaches in class to keep Barre3 alive even when the pandemic threatened to close its doors.

We’re joined by Dr. Sasha Hamdani (also known as @ThePsychDoctorMD on TikTok and Instagram) to talk about her own journey as a woman with ADHD who also treats patients with ADHD. Dr. Hamdani tackles everything from the why behind certain behaviors with money to the true cost (to the tune of billions) of ADHD in the United States.
