• Birthday episode: 5 money lessons I've learned from my 30s so far

  It's Gemini season, which means it's my birthday month, and so it's time for one of your favourite episodes: the birthday ep! Usually, I do something like 30 things I've learned by 30, but now I'm 34, it's getting HARD to come up with 34 things. So instead, I'm taking you through 5 big lessons from my thirties in general, now that I'm well and truly settled in, buckled up and hurting towards my mid thirties at pace. Highlights: How your 20s are different to your 30s Why your values matter more than anything The opportunities of your 30s that are not to be missed Why we shouldn't be trying to stop comparison altogether, but instead manage it better The benefits of seeing compounding efforts pay off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Could you live without money? The Comments Section with E & V

  Earlier this year, The Guardian published an article on Jo Nemeth: the woman who lives without money. Instead of engaging in paid work and using that income to pay for goods, services and shelter, she contributes to an intergenerational household with unpaid labour. In this episode, we unpack the concept of living without money, including whether it's a giant leap forward to a society less hamstrung by late stage capitalism, or whether it's a sinister step backwards to a time when women lived without money under the control of their male partners. Read the full article here: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/feb/01/meet-the-woman-who-lives-without-money-i-feel-more-secure-than-when-i-was-earning See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
