Ep 520: Why Smart, Hardworking Women Are Struggling With Money Right Now And What To Do About It

You're earning more than you ever have. You're doing everything you were told to do. So why does it still feel like you can't get ahead?

This week, Jean sits down with Hanna Horvath, CFP, personal finance journalist, and writer behind the Substack Your Brain on Money, to talk about why so many women are struggling with money right now, and why it probably has a lot less to do with your choices than you think.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why GDP being up and your life feeling hard are not contradictory, and what's actually driving the disconnect
• The concept of mattering, and why losing your sense of economic contribution can feel like an identity crisis
• The four money behaviors that show up when economic anxiety takes hold
• Why community investment is one of the most underrated strategies for financial resilience
• The one question to ask yourself before every spending decision
