Rich Girls Go on Meds: Zoloft, Self-Worth, and the Serotonin Era

This year? We’re not freestyling our nervous systems. We’re talking Zoloft, Lamictal, and the very real truth that healing sometimes comes in the form of a prescription. High-functioning, high-achieving women are burning out quietly and we’re over it. In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it looks like to be the friend who has her life together and takes medication. Because being mentally well isn’t a secret. It’s a strategy. And rich girls? We regulate. Follow us on social media @genuinelygenesis, @trinity.calonje, @itsgivingrichpodcast

Corporate America: How to Use Golden Handcuffs as Your Golden Launchpad

Golden handcuffs… or golden launchpad? In this candid convo, Genesis and Claudia unpack the real pros and cons of corporate America from paychecks, equity, and benefits that change your net worth (hello IVF coverage and education stipends) to the politics, burnout, and identity traps no one warns you about. We trace how big-tech jobs became our training ground for access, power, and freedom of choice, and where the line is between “using the system” and letting it use you. If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay, jump, or build both, this one’s for you. We talk gratitude without the gloss, ambition without the martyrdom, and the messy in-between: playing the game, leaving room for a bigger mission, and finding your value beyond a job title. Rich or Not? We end with a rapid-fire corporate edition that might ruffle a few micro-kitchen feathers. Join us on social media at @itsgivingrichpodcast, @genuinelygenesis, @trinity.calonje

Taxes, Trauma & Tractors: How the Rich Really Pay Less

Taxes...the word alone can make your stomach drop. In this episode of It’s Giving Rich, Claudia and Genesis dive headfirst into one of adulthood’s most confusing (and expensive) realities. From jaw-dropping IRS bills to loopholes the wealthy quietly leverage, we’re breaking down what taxes really are, how the U.S. progressive system actually works, and why going from broke to wealthy comes with some painful (and hilarious) lessons. We share our own sticker-shock stories (including Claudia’s $29K tax surprise and Genesis’s $30K entrepreneur bill), unpack the difference between W2s, 1099s, and LLCs, and expose how the wealthy use strategies like depreciation, charitable giving, and even tractors to reduce their taxable income. If you’ve ever thought, I don’t want to make more money because I’ll just lose it to taxes, this episode is for you. We’ll show you why that mindset doesn’t add up, and how to start thinking strategically about your money so you can play the same game as the rich. Because baby, if you’re not rich yet, you’re about to be.

We’re talking emergency funds, income-producing skills, high-yield savings hacks, and investing while everyone else is freaking out. And of course, it wouldn’t be It’s Giving Rich without a little chaos: crackhead real estate, falling through floorboards, Peloton regrets, Costco Versace watches, and why Claudia refuses to ever talk about kitchen sinks again.
