Ep. 5: The Truth About "Girl Math": How This Viral Trend Keeps Women Broke

"Girl Math" isn't funny when it keeps women broke. In this episode, Josie exposes the double standards around women and money, and shares how female entrepreneurs can rewrite their money story, build profit, and claim real financial freedom. “Girl Math” may seem like a funny, relatable trend on TikTok and Instagram — but underneath the humor, it’s reinforcing a dangerous stereotype that women are bad with money. And that stereotype is keeping female entrepreneurs stuck, underpaid, and undervalued. In this episode of The Profit Princess, Josie breaks down why “Girl Math” isn’t harmless, how it impacts women in business, and what REAL wealth-building math looks like when women reclaim their financial power. We’ll dive into: * What “Girl Math” really is and why it went viral on social media * How self-deprecating money humor reinforces stereotypes that keep women broke * The dangerous double standards between how men and women are judged for spending money * How internalized money beliefs show up in entrepreneurship (underpricing, underpaying yourself, avoiding numbers, and more) * The Profit Princess alternative: building wealth with strategy, intuition, and unapologetic confidence * The ripple effect of women reclaiming their financial power for themselves, their communities, and future generations If you’re tired of outsourcing your money power and ready to build a profitable business that funds your dream life, this episode is for you.

Ep. 4: How to Set Prices That Actually Make You Money

If you’ve ever stared at your offer and thought, “Oh sh!t, no one’s going to pay this”! And then lowered your price out of fear... this episode is for you. Because if your business strategy is basically “throw spaghetti at the wall and hope someone buys it,” you’re not building a business. You’re building an expensive hobby. And hobbies don’t pay mortgages, fund retirement accounts, or let you live your dream life. In this episode of The Profit Princess, I’m sharing the real strategy behind pricing - not just pulling numbers out of the air, charging what “feels good,” or undercutting your competitors. You’ll learn how to ditch bargain-bin prices and step into your CEO crown by creating a pricing model that pays you, funds your dream life, and positions you as the authority your clients are looking for. Here’s what we’re diving into: * Why most women underprice themselves, and how fear, conditioning, and money stories are secretly driving your pricing decisions. * The truth about pricing: why it’s not a vibe, it’s a strategy, and the three things every price point must cover. * The three biggest pricing mistakes that are quietly killing your profit (and what to do instead). * The Profit Pricing Framework: a 6-part method to set prices that are profitable, scalable, and rooted in transformation. * The mindset shift you need to start pricing like a Profit Princess who knows her worth. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to create pricing that doesn’t just “cover costs” but actually builds wealth, commands respect, and reflects the true transformation you deliver.

Ep. 2: How To Know If You're Ready to Quit Your 9-to-5 for Full-Time Entrepreneurship

Are you sitting at your 9-to-5, daydreaming about turning your side hustle into a full-time business—but not sure if you’re actually ready to take the leap? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Profit Princess, I break down the 3 key signs that show you’re ready to leave your job and fully embrace entrepreneurship—without the fear, guesswork, or financial panic. We’re diving into real talk for women entrepreneurs: statistics show that 83% of working women want their own business, 55% are juggling side hustles alongside full-time jobs, and nearly 40% of women-owned businesses started as side hustles. If that resonates with you, this episode is a must-listen. I’ll walk you through: 1. How to build a solid financial foundation before quitting your 9-to-5—because confidence in your finances is non-negotiable. From creating a runway account to managing debt smartly, I explain the exact levers you need to pull to make leaving your job not just possible, but empowering. 2. How to know if your business is ready to sustain you. We’ll break down the difference between revenue vs. profit, why proof of consistent income matters, and how even a small, profitable side hustle can grow into a full-time, income-replacing business. 3. Why a strong support system is critical—and what that actually looks like in real life. Emotional, strategic, and even financial support can make or break your entrepreneurial journey. I share exactly how to surround yourself with mentors, friends, and allies who have your back (and your bank account!) Along the way, we’ll also discuss: * How the last few years have reshaped women’s relationship with work and what they taught us about the kind of careers we really want * Why the traditional 9-to-5 wasn’t designed for women, and how honoring your natural rhythms can supercharge productivity and fulfillment * How to use your existing runway and side hustle to transition with confidence and clarity * The mindset shifts you need to embrace your entrepreneurial power and stop doubting yourself Whether you’re thinking about quitting your job, growing your side hustle into a full-time business, or simply craving more freedom and fulfillment, this episode is packed with actionable insights, encouragement, and no-BS advice you won’t hear anywhere else.
