It really does, unfortunately, cost more to be a woman. This is because of the pink tax, gender based price discrimination, affecting women world wide.

Listen to this interview with the Pink Tax Podcast, a podcast about all things feminism and finance, where we dive deeper into this subject.

A while ago, I created a podcast episode about the advertising barrage and advertising industry titled, "the Advertising Cult". That episode definitely complements this week's episode focusing on Consumerism!
Listen to this episode where I talk about consumerism ranging from Ariana Grande's hit song "7 Rings", "My Favorite things" from Sound of Music, to the 'scarcity mindset', BUYcotting, the minimalistic lifestyle we can adopt and so much more!
