What Most Women Get Wrong About Investing in Their 20s
Sun Jan 25 2026
Most money advice for women in their 20s focuses on spending less, playing it safe and waiting until you feel “educated.” This episode makes the case for the opposite.
In this episode, you’ll learn why conservative advice keeps ambitious women stuck, why waiting to feel ready to invest is a losing strategy, how to think about money as something you learn by doing and where to get information from.
I share transparently the frameworks I use, how I think about risk, and how I allocate across different asset classes. If you’re a woman in your 20s who wants to understand money deeply, not just manage it cautiously, this episode is for you.
