Description

Do you feel like you’re making progress with money, but somehow still feel behind? 


Maybe you’re already saving, paying your bills on time, and investing a little. 


But you still find yourself thinking:


"Wait… am I actually doing this right?"


And when you try to find the answer, you get even more frustrated because everything online feels like it was made for some Wall Street bro obsessing over his next trade.


If you’re craving money conversations that actually reflect you — an ambitious, vibrant woman using her money to build a life that feels abundant in every sense — come hang with us.


Welcome to the Finance Girlies, a money podcast for the girlies who’ve never felt seen by traditional finance advice. 


We’re your hosts, Emily Batdorf and Cassidy Horton. Between the two of us, we’ve spent more than a decade researching and writing for big publications in the personal finance space. 


Now, every Wednesday, we’re sharing our financial knowledge, experience, and hard-won confidence with you. (And when it’s helpful, we bring in trusted experts to help us unpack the more complex topics.)  


During each episode of The Finance Girlies, we’ll cover topics like:

  • Why you don’t have to feel “ready” before you start investing
  • How to be a more conscious consumer when you’re constantly being #influenced
  • How your career as a freelancer, entrepreneur, or employee affects your financial reality
  • How to handle money conflicts in relationships — and strategies to avoid them altogether
  • How your money beliefs directly impact your financial habits and choices


Together, we’ll explore how you relate to money: through conversations with your partner, the paycheck you earn, and how you spend your days. Instead of throwing prescriptive advice at you, we’ll give you helpful reframes, mindset tools, and why-did-nobody-teach-me-this tidbits to help you build financial confidence every day.


If you’ve ever felt like personal financial advice was too dry, impractical, condescending — or just too bro-y — we invite you to pop in an earbud and let out a deep exhale.
