One Sweet Single Life

The "Girl Boss" Myth


Listen Later

Money can be a strange topic — especially for women of faith.

In some circles, ambition, career goals, or financial independence are seen as somehow less feminine or less open to marriage. Hustle is labeled masculine, while dependence is labeled feminine.

But is that actually true?

In this episode, we talk about why financial independence isn’t anti-marriage or anti-family — it’s stewardship. Choosing to work hard, build stability, and pursue excellence isn’t rejecting God’s plans. It’s refusing to pause your life while waiting for a hypothetical future.

We discuss the tension many single women feel between ambition, faith, and the desire for marriage, and why building a life now doesn’t cancel what God may have planned later.

We also talk about:

• Why money can feel like a taboo topic in faith circles
• Setting financial goals as a single woman
• The difference between wanting provision and needing rescue
• How financial independence changes the way you date
• Why the Proverbs 31 woman was actually a business owner

At the end of the day, this episode isn’t anti-men, anti-marriage, or pro–hustle culture at all costs.

It’s about living with faith, responsibility, and freedom — and building a life you love while remaining open to whatever God may bring.
