    224. Money & Martinis: The Birkin Test: Would You Buy It If No One Could See It?

    16/07/2026 | 23 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In this episode, we pour the martinis and ask the one question that quietly separates a real investment from an expensive way to feel important: would you buy this thing if you could never show it to anyone or tell anyone about it?
    In this episode:
    The question that reveals whether you're buying the object or buying your own status
    Bought status vs. earned status — and why one disappears while the other can never be taken from you
    What the Birkin "14% a year" claim leaves out (and who's really making that math work)
    The moment status is a smart tool, and the moment it's just money that could have worked harder elsewhere
    Why the real luxury isn't the object — it's being the woman who understands her money so completely she can hold the bag and the freedom
    If you saw a little of yourself in this, come join our free Investing Workshop — where we walk you through how investing actually works for women in Europe, without the "the problem must be me" feeling. Pour the martini, bring yourself, and we'll see you there.

    222. The Ask: You Teach People How to Treat You — Including Your Boss

    09/07/2026 | 15 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Somewhere in a sunlit café in Paris, the four of us leaned in to talk about the one thing most women would rather avoid entirely: asking for more money.
    Because here's the truth we kept coming back to — you teach people how to treat you. Including your boss.
    We cover:
    Why your voice goes tight and your breath goes shallow the moment you have to ask 
    The hidden belief underneath the fear 
    Why the first "no" is a test and the mindset shift that turns a rejection into leverage (yes, there's a diamond-earrings story)
    What to do when your value isn't seen 
    This is the first in our new series on asking for more at work, in money, and in life.
    Asking for the raise is one thing. Turning it into lasting freedom is another. If you want to see, step by step, how to make your money actually work for you — without the overwhelm — book a call with our team. The link is below.

    221. Espresso & the Economy: The Cozy Money Mistake Costing European Women a Fortune

    06/07/2026 | 9 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Your friend at dinner says it with total confidence: "I only invest in Europe I like to keep my money where I understand it." Everyone nods. It sounds wise. It sounds grounded :) It's also costing her.
    In this Espresso shot, Francesca unpacks why the American market keeps sprinting while Europe jogs in plain language, no economics degree required.
    This is the difference between women who read about investing and women who actually become investors.
    Familiar is a feeling. Diversified is a decision.

    220. The Centsational Aperitivo: Botox, Highlights, and Retirement!

    02/07/2026 | 28 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Let's do something a little dangerous over our espresso today: let's actually add it up.
    The hair. The nails. The lashes. The facials, the massages, the gels, the "one more" moisturiser on an already full shelf. None of it is something to feel guilty about we love all of it. But almost no woman ever totals what it costs across a lifetime, and the number can quietly reach six figures.
    Three things we get into:
    Why spending on looking good feels so easy and building wealth feels so hard.
    What that money could actually become if you redirected even part of it.
    How to keep the beauty and build the wealth because this was never an either/or.
    Come and join us!
