That’s how it felt with today’s guest, Maggie Germano. Maggie is a financial coach for women but she has a super refreshing, friendly approach to personal finance that really resonates with me and I hope it resonates with you, too. We talk about buying our first homes, something we both experienced in the last year, as well as savings strategies and why money is a feminist issue beyond just equal pay.    But first, I have an essay for you and I really enjoyed writing and recording this one. I had a high-anxiety experience with my health recently and now that I’m on the other side of it, I’m sharing it here. Enjoy!   About Maggie: Maggie Germano is a feminist and financial coach for women. She helps women improve their relationship with money so they can take control of their financial future.

She also founded Money Circle, which is a safe space for women to talk about money without feeling judged. It’s a way to create community and openness around personal finance.
