    I like that Jamila is holistic about her approach to finances. She covers more than just dollars and cents, but she does that too. Hearing about the emotional aspects of personal finance from a personal and structural and generational perspective, listening to everything from micro-level finance hacks to viewing finance through money choices through the lens of doing what we value the most so we don’t have death bed regrets…it’s been really REAL. I also appreciate the opportunity to learn from w... more

  • My Go-To FIRE Educator

    In a society with plenty of tech bros saturating the conversations around the FIRE movement, Jamila is a breath of fresh air. I love that she brings on guests from varied backgrounds and perspectives. The discussions around psychology as it pertains to money have to be my favorite. Love hearing about other women take charge of their money and life. Your conversation with Imani got me to FINALLY open up and fund my Roth IRA! Thank you!! 🥰 oh, and I requested my library order your book 😉

  • Informative and Motivational

    Jamila creates a space that’s not just about money, but about mindset, purpose, and building a life you truly want. Whether I’m walking, driving, or folding laundry, I always come away feeling more educated about the emotional side of finances. This podcast has become a go-to for me. I especially enjoy the great guests she includes.
