Broke Girl Survival Guide

This week, we’re talking honestly about what it actually looks like to navigate finances in a cost-of-living crisis — especially heading into holiday season, when everyone feels stretched. We unpack the reality of living paycheck to paycheck, managing financial anxiety while travelling, and the push–pull between wanting to enjoy life and trying to be responsible with money. We break down the budgeting systems that genuinely help us stay afloat, how we make decisions around big purchases versus impulse spending, and the role social media plays in shaping our expectations, desires, and financial pressure. We also talk about adjusting grocery habits, the guilt that comes with online shopping, and the small changes that make the biggest difference. It’s a conversation about surviving, being self-aware, and learning to extend compassion to yourself even when you’re not where you thought you’d be financially — because most of us aren’t. And it’s easier when we’re figuring it out together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
