Financial Feminist

What if I told you the whole “new year, new me” mantra is bs? You don’t have to change your entire personality every January for the sake of achieving a goal. Change happens gradually, that’s why in today’s episode I’m sharing the five biggest lessons I’m carrying into the new year –– and I promise it’s not about overhauling every aspect of your life come January 1st. It’s about finding incremental, sustainable ways to show up for yourself and for the women around you. So, if you’re ready to learn some practical steps to make 2025 a great year, this episode is for you.

Forget everything you’ve been told about reaching for your dreams, because in today’s episode, we’re busting myths and revealing the evidence-based secrets to setting and achieving big goals—without relying on the decades-old (and often ineffective) SMART framework.

As we kick off a new year (and possibly a whole new you!), I'm excited to welcome Caroline Adams Miller, a globally recognized authority on positive psychology, grit, and the true science of goal-setting. We cover everything from mastering the difference between performance and learning goals to building a supportive community that actually cheers you on. If you’re done playing small and ready to step into your power, this conversation has your name all over it.

What am I here for? Can I actually make money following my passions? Big questions with even bigger answers –– but today’s (returning!) guest, Dr. Jordan Grummet, is here to guide us through figuring out that fine balance between passion, purpose, and building a financial future that supports our dreams and goals. In the episode, Doc G clarifies how to find “big P” and “little P” purpose in your day-to-day life, why following your passion may not be the best way to make money, and how to build in anchors to keep you grounded as you figure it all out. A fantastic episode for the start of the year, especially if you’re setting goals and feeling overwhelmed by it all.

Ever wondered if saving your first $100K is actually doable—or just another financial fairy tale? I’m Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K and host of the Financial Feminist podcast, and in this first episode of 2025, I’m pulling back the curtain on real-world steps for building tangible wealth—starting with building an emergency fund, to paying off debt, investing, and automation. 

We’ll also talk about why your mindset matters just as much as the numbers, and how a supportive community can make or break your progress toward that six-figure milestone. Speaking of supportive communities…I’ve been teasing my secret new project for the last few weeks, and today I’m introducing The $100K Club! The $100K Club is where I’ll be teaching the strategies that earned me financial freedom and curating a community to help you do the same.

Have you ever felt guilty about wanting more money? Have you ever felt shame around wanting to charge more or get paid more? This special ‘Best of 2024’ episode of Financial Feminist tackles the deep-seated societal narratives that discourage women from pursuing financial security and independence and exposes the double standard that exists around money and wealth. Men are celebrated for their financial success, while women are expected to be selfless and prioritize the needs of others, often at the expense of their own financial well-being.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to challenge the status quo and build a life of financial freedom.

Have you ever felt like the holiday season leaves you more frazzled than fulfilled? I have, and in this episode, I’m diving deep into why the end of the year can feel so overwhelming—and how embracing rest in all its forms can be your secret weapon against burnout, stress, and the constant hustle that dominates our lives. From exploring seven distinct types of rest (yes, there are actually seven!) and their impact on our mental, emotional, and financial well-being, to discussing the subtle differences between simply having time off and truly recharging, this conversation is all about finding sustainable peace amidst the holiday chaos. Plus, I’ll share personal stories—from my family’s favorite holiday movies to my journey with an energy coach—and reveal how rest can help you show up as your best self in 2025 and beyond.

“If you are stacking your day with so many habits and routines that you don't have any time to sit and just be or to enjoy your life or to play or to run into spontaneity, that's not wellness.”

Our guest today is Liz Moody, host of the top-rated “The Liz Moody Podcast” and author of the book 100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success.” In this deeply insightful conversation, Liz is sharing her own wellness journey, what she’s learned along the way, and giving us actionable tips we can use to cultivate meaningful change.

From a young age, women are conditioned to take on more for less — whether it’s in the workplace, housework, raising children, or other unpaid labor. Today’s guest is inviting us to let go of some of these expectations and find freedom in dropping the ball. In this special replay episode, I speak to Tiffany Dufu — author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less and the founder of The Cru, an organization dedicated to helping women reach their professional goals. We discussed the many ways and reasons why women often take on more than they need to, and how in the process of letting go, find new freedom to achieve more in their professional and personal lives.

TW: disordered eating

Hey Financial Feminists, Tori here! As we get ready to dive into the holiday season—a time overflowing with festive foods and, unfortunately, food guilt—I sat down with the incredible Deanna Wolfe, a registered dietitian and business coach, to unpack the pervasive impact of diet culture on our lives. We're exploring how diet culture impacts our day-to-day lives and the sneaky ways it continues to perpetuate disordered eating. We're talking about intuitive eating, Ozempic, BMI, all of the buzzwords and topics you’ve been hearing about, and ways to start healing your own self-image and relationship with your body.

Content warning: conversations surrounding disordered eating, sexual assault, rape

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.

What does it mean to embrace feminist principles in a capitalist society? How can we stand in solidarity with each other when rugged individualism is so deeply ingrained in how we make money? In this episode, host Tori Dunlap sits down with Rebecca Walker, the founder of Third Wave Feminism and author of several books, including Women Talk Money: Breaking the Taboo, to talk about the rise of the Third Wave movement, how we can be more intentional with our finances in support for causes we care about, and how to get more comfortable discussing our finances as women.

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 sober-curious movement has grown substantially in recent years as women especially begin to re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol. During the pandemic, levels of drinking skyrocketed, which has a direct impact on our mental and physical health, and of course, our wallets. We’re joined by Kelsey Moreira, founder of Doughp, the cookie dough company with a mission to help women in recovery, to talk about her journey as a sober business owner. We also dive into her time on Shark Tank, including the hypocritical reason her company was passed up for funding and ultimately how she overcame the setback to build a business she loves.

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. In the episode, we dive into banking fees, loan processes, systemic factors, and the question on everyone’s mind –– can I trust my bank?

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.
