Financial Feminist

There are two ways to better your financial situation in life –– make more or spend less. Both options mean you’re going to have to negotiate, so why are we so afraid of something that can help us so much? In this episode, money and career expert Tori Dunlap guides you through the steps to negotiating, whether it’s your salary, a freelance client, or even your day-to-day bills, that have helped other women negotiate thousands of dollars in raises and bonuses.   To get more resources, including any freebies mentioned in this episode, head to ⁠⁠https://herfirst100k.com/ffpod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Credit Card Industry is built on sexism (surprise, surprise, another industry that benefits the patriarchy) –– and not understanding how credit cards, credit scores, and things like reward points benefit men more than women is how it continues to go unchecked. Today’s guest is lifting the veil and taking us on a deep dive into the credit card industry –– how it works, why you might not be getting approved for that credit card even though you have a great salary, and how women are losing out when it comes to rewards. Vrinda Gupta is a former Visa Credit expert, who was denied for a card she helped create and is now on a mission to make sure women can build credit and have access to all the perks of credit cards with her company Sequin.  To get more resources, including any freebies mentioned in this episode, head to ⁠⁠https://herfirst100k.com/ffpod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The toxic AF billion-dollar diet industry perpetuates the message that our bodies are never “enough” (skinny enough, strong enough, curvy enough, whatever enough) using predatory tactics to keep us opening our wallets for the newest “craze” or “fix.” Today’s guest is here to call bullsh*t. Tori is joined by former Division I volleyball player, TED Talk speaker, and mental health advocate Victoria Garrick. In this vulnerable episode, Tori and Victoria share their stories of growing up surrounded by diet culture, how companies use shame to make us actively hate our bodies, and what we can do to fight back. Victoria is the host of RealPod, and the Founder & CEO of the mental health non-profit, The Hidden Opponent, which supports college athletes in their mental health journeys. This episode deals with topics like disordered eating and body image. We have linked resources in our show notes to support you if you are seeking help.

If you don’t invest, you likely won’t be able to retire…ever. This feels harsh because it is. The good news is that the best day to start investing is today and it’s never too late to start. It’s also not as complicated as the finance gatekeepers want you to think it is. In this episode, host Tori Dunlap walks you through the different retirement account options and perks, including Roth IRAs, 401ks, self-employed retirement options, and more. Make sure to check out our show notes for more resources, and episodes 5 and 9 from season one for a primer on investing and the financial steps you need to take to get started.

If travel is on your bucket list, whether it’s weekend road trips or backpacking through the Alps, this episode is the one for you.
