Skimm This: State of Women… and Money

Listen Later

Welcome back to Skimm This. We're back in your feeds to bring you fresh episodes that help you live smarter. This time, instead of weekly episodes, we’ll be dropping miniseries throughout the year that will focus on your wellbeing. And to kick things off, we’re taking a look at the state of women in America, with a series that offers a look into the realities that millennial women in the US face today. 

In this second episode, we’re talking about the state of women and money. 

  • First up: We’ll start with the data, and explain how women are feeling about their finances right now 
  • Then: We’ll explain how women are securing their financial futures, despite a rocky economy
  • Later: We interviewed an expert about how women can create a more resilient financial future by paying off their debt, and freeing themselves of financial shame
  • Finally: We’ve got a script you can use if you’re thinking about hiring a financial planner


    • P.S. Learn more about different types of financial pros here. And here’s a useful debt tracker. 


    On this episode, you’ll hear from: 

    • Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, founder of the Fiscal Femme
