374. Budgeting, Diet Culture & Spending Well - A Conversation with the Frugal Friends Podcast

Do you ever try to shop your way out of a bad feeling, only to regret it later? What’s really driving those impulse purchases, and how is the way society talks about women’s spending warping your relationship with money? (Hint: it’s eerily similar to how diet culture messes with your relationship with food.)This week, I’m joined by Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, experts in helping people feel good about their finances no matter their income. They’re sharing insights from their upcoming book, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke, which is all about spending in a way that actually aligns with your values—and ditching the guilt and shame around money decisions. You'll learn how to spend with confidence and make decisions that feel as good later as they do in the moment.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/374Mentioned in this episode:We're Hiring a Marketing ManagerGo to unfuckyourbrain.com/hiring to learn more.FREE LIVE WORKSHOP: The One Big AskIn one free hour, find the ask most worth making, assess exactly what’s blocking you, and learn what it takes to speak up anyway.
