  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

157. Why I Changed My Mind About Where I Want to Live | Chicago to LA Q+A (very honest)
Q: How did you budget and plan the move financially and logistically?
I set aside a moving budget in a high-yield savings account, anticipated costs for furniture and logistics, used a subletter to minimize lease complications, and planned for potential contingencies by estimating costs at about 1.25x the initial estimate. I also highlighted that moving can cost more than expected and that it helps to have a flexible income approach as a creator.
157. Why I Changed My Mind About Where I Want to Live | Chicago to LA Q+A (very honest)
Q: Why did you move to Chicago in the first place and what ultimately led you back to LA?
I moved to Chicago to experience a true city life after LA, and to test whether a different environment could align with my values. Over time I realized I valued access to better weather, outdoor activities, a stronger creator community, and less winter, which made returning to LA feel like the right move.
136. Career Advice for Young Professionals: Networking, Freelancing, and Finding Clarity at Work

It's important to review your severance, enroll in unemployment, and cut non-essential expenses while quickly applying for new jobs.
136. Career Advice for Young Professionals: Networking, Freelancing, and Finding Clarity at Work
Q: How do I build my network in a way that doesn't feel forced and fake?
