222. The Ask: You Teach People How to Treat You — Including Your Boss

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286173/fan_mail/new] Somewhere in a sunlit café in Paris, the four of us leaned in to talk about the one thing most women would rather avoid entirely: asking for more money. Because here's the truth we kept coming back to — you teach people how to treat you. Including your boss. We cover: * Why your voice goes tight and your breath goes shallow the moment you have to ask  * The hidden belief underneath the fear  * Why the first "no" is a test and the mindset shift that turns a rejection into leverage (yes, there's a diamond-earrings story) * What to do when your value isn't seen  This is the first in our new series on asking for more at work, in money, and in life. Asking for the raise is one thing. Turning it into lasting freedom is another.

221. Espresso & the Economy: The Cozy Money Mistake Costing European Women a Fortune

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286173/fan_mail/new] Your friend at dinner says it with total confidence: "I only invest in Europe I like to keep my money where I understand it." Everyone nods. It sounds wise. It sounds grounded :) It's also costing her. In this Espresso shot, Francesca unpacks why the American market keeps sprinting while Europe jogs in plain language, no economics degree required. This is the difference between women who read about investing and women who actually become investors. Familiar is a feeling. Diversified is a decision. 🎧 Ready to build a calm, globally diversified foundation without becoming a finance person or watching a single screaming chart? Join our free Investing Workshop.

220. The Centsational Aperitivo: Botox, Highlights, and Retirement!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286173/fan_mail/new] Let's do something a little dangerous over our espresso today: let's actually add it up. The hair. The nails. The lashes. The facials, the massages, the gels, the "one more" moisturiser on an already full shelf. None of it is something to feel guilty about we love all of it. But almost no woman ever totals what it costs across a lifetime, and the number can quietly reach six figures. Three things we get into: 1. Why spending on looking good feels so easy and building wealth feels so hard. 2. What that money could actually become if you redirected even part of it. 3. How to keep the beauty and build the wealth because this was never an either/or. Come and join us! Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286173/support] 🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

219. Espresso & the Economy: Is This a Bubble?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286173/fan_mail/new] Everyone's whispering the word "bubble" right now — and the headlines want you scared before you understand anything. In this Espresso episode, Francesca shows you why "is this a bubble?" is the wrong question, and the one simple test that turns any frightening market headline into something you can read calmly. In this episode: * Why the word "bubble" is suddenly everywhere  and what's actually happening in the market right now (the tech and AI pullback, in plain language) * Correction vs. bubble — the one distinction that changes how every headline lands, explained with a simple café analogy you'll never forget * The one question to ask — are price and worth moving together, or has the price floated away? — and why it's worth more than ninety percent of the headlines you'll ever read * Why calm investors sleep through weeks like this — and why it's not because they know more, but because they're reading something different Listen now!
