After a rough break-up, I decided I wanted to go study abroad and try a bunch of cool things.

Personal Finance for Couples: Let's talk about MONEY! With financial educator Grace Pomroy Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

Nobody LIKES looking at finances. Least of all, me. And finances when you're in a relationship??? Forget about it.

Our guest today, Grace Pomroy, makes it fun and interesting to talk about finances. She breaks it up into steps that make it seem not so scary and definitely do-able. She also gives great tips for BUDGETING - everyone's favorite million dollar word. Take a listen (to me AND your partner), and ya just might learn something.

Grace Duddy Pomroy (aka "The Classy Frugalist") is a financial educator, blogger, and coach. She specializes in creating down-to-earth content that helps finance come alive for people. She's learned from her own experience working with a financial coach that being frugal doesn't mean you have to be cheap. Money can be a tool to help you live a more fulfilling life - when you channel it towards the things that matter most to you.

HOW TO SPEAK UP: Using your voice as a force for good at work and in life, featuring Jessica Guzik Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

I love when people tell me they have long and winding job paths, because it makes me feel that I am doing alright in the world if I'm not podcasting full time at 25.

What rang true for me with Jessica's episode was the idea that we can make infinite mistakes. And then here's the kicker: we need to be grateful for those infinite mistakes. They can teach us more than we realize!

Martha Pietruszewski is a thinker, writer, and motivated by great ideas. Martha never set out to be an entrepreneur, she just wanted to make the world a better place. Throughout her time at the University of Minnesota, she realized that in society, there are a lot of stigmas and harmful ideas about lots of things. In late 2015, she launched Nesel Packs, a company that created the world's first sensory friendly backpack. She helped create this product to help crush stigmas - namely, the stigma surrounding autism and sensory processing difficulties. Although Nesel Packs no longer exists, she still lets the entrepreneurial spirit live on through her podcast, Sh!t You Need to Know. Martha works as a business analyst at a large company, or is exploring the pizza scene in Minneapolis.
