Just getting good
I CANNOT tell you how AMAZING and refreshing it is to have access to the insight of older women. I've been surrounded by older (and wiser) friends since my mid 20's and it's been radically impactful on my life choices and I'm glad older women now have more and more visibility and platforms to share there stories, experiences and knowledge! Thank you so much for those Gems!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Lie of “Having It All” | Just Getting Good

Q: What advice would you give to a 30 something woman who was currently single, no kids and not where she wants to be financially?

Get Susie Orman's book and follow The Financial Diet, and make sure you're planning for financial independence without relying on marriage as a backup.

What Really Happens When You Decenter Men | Just Getting Good

Q: What would you advise a 30-something woman who is currently single, no kids, and not where she wants to be financially?

I would want to ask, would we ask that of a man? Money we all need, marriage and children we don't.

I Left A Bad Marriage At 50 And Joined A Polycule. It's Not Over Til It's Over. | Just Getting Good

Q: What advice would you give to a 30-something woman who is currently single without kids and not where she wants to be financially?

Get help. Connect with either something like The Financial Diet or connect with a coach or a friend. Have a community of support for personal growth.

No Husband. No Kids. No Regrets. | Just Getting Good

Q: Can you talk about the way that you view sex and relationships and dating now as opposed to when you were, let's say, in your early to mid-30s?

I think about it as something that is available to me when I want it, how I want it, and not necessary to fulfilling life.

No Husband. No Kids. No Regrets. | Just Getting Good

Q: What advice would you give to a 30-something woman who is currently single, no kids, and not where she wants to be financially?

Get a financial advisor. Don't be ashamed of your money or lack thereof.
