  • Relatable, helpful tips and advice

    I had to come here and write a review for this podcast because I am not one to gatekeep. What a gem! I could listen to her all day. My favourite podcast or YouTube channel provides advice, products to use, girlfriend talk and this podcast delivers. Highly recommend.

  • Pure gold

    I’m so glad Michela came across my path! I’ve learned so much from each episode and am excited to work with her budget spread sheet for 2026. I’ve never felt so financially ready. Love all the different arrays of subjects from money to favorite things to fashion. Such solid advise

  • Great podcast! But

    Love the pod! One of my faves! But the body talk (not liking how X or Y looks) in 3/4 of the episodes I’ve listened to so far should be cut out.

  • So happy I found this podcast!

    Really happy I found Michela’s podcast. I especially like her episodes on sustainable/intentional shopping, keeping a budget, and spending less. She reminds me of a younger Money With Katie in all the best ways. A must listen for anyone interested in learning more about personal finance and shopping more thoughtfully.
