Abi Foster is a finance expert who’s on a mission to help people actually understand their money and feel more confident with their finances.

I always say I won’t shy away from money conversations on this podcast because as much as we don’t want to admit it, it is so important to all of our lives, and insanely still taboo for podcast with a primarily female audience.

Today we talked about everything from how to start building real financial confidence, to the biggest money mistakes people make in their 20s and 30s, I hope it really helps!

RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed. As usual, sponsorships do not change my opinions nor my honesty, but I will always disclaim to make sure motives are clear 😊

This is a bit more of a chatty one than usual, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot over the past few weeks.

Today I want to talk about how to build amazing friendships and what it really takes.

It’s about building real, amazing friendships as an adult. Not the catch-up coffee once a quarter kind of friendship, but the ones that actually feel like a village. The ones where people show up for you, and you show up for them, even when it’s inconvenient.

Today we are talking budgeting, saving, investing, debt, and mindset. Not in the usual “cut your iced latte and buy a house” way, but I wanted to tackle it in a way that actually feels achievable, empowering, and grounded in reality.

Because whatever stage you’re at in your career journey, and whatever starting point you’ve come from, money stress can take over your life if you do not have a system.
