Such an amazing find!

I’m so happy I came across Emilie and The Wallet. I’ve binged almost 2 whole seasons of this podcast in less than a week and now I’m brimming with motivation and actionable advice to get my finances in order. I feel so much more confident about earning, saving and investing and so many of my anxieties about money have been appeased. And the conversations Emilie has with her guests (who are all such admirable people) are engaging and relatable, so it’s a pleasure to listen to. Absolutely stellar podcast!

Inspiring and empowering learnings

Really loved discovering The Wallet podcast, it’s been a real journey! Each guest has so much knowledge and experience to share, and Emilie asks engaging and excellent questions. I’ve found that each episode I’ve listened to has provided me with relatable, clear and actionnable advice on how to manage my finances. I’ve already made changes to the way I invest and can’t wait to see what inspiring woman Emilie will interview next!

Great interviews with women

I really like this podcast because it focuses on women and women’ topics. All the interviews are with women and the topics are always something that a woman can relate to. I especially enjoyed today’s podcast about pregnancy and the workplace.

Awesome podcast

I absolutely love this podcast and I am always learning something new. Emilie has a great range of guests and they discuss a vast range of money topics. I’ve got to my mid thirties and never really thought about money and have made many money mistakes. However, this podcast is making me ask myself questions and become more confident with my finances and the decisions I make. I can’t recommend it highly enough; it’s brilliant!

Amazing range of guests

Love this podcast and wait for the new ones every week. There are so many great guests from diverse backgrounds and roles who I’ve ended up following off the back of hearing them chat to Emilie. I love how digestible and relatable the content is. I was already investing before I found the Wallet but it makes me feel so much more confident with the choices I’ve made :)

Share it with all your friends!!

I still many friends who think they can’t afford to invest. I used to think the same until some friends helped me out by sharing some resources. Do the same! Vestpod and this podcast is a great source of insights 🤍👏🏼

Easy to digest and motivating

I really love Emilie’s straight forward and easy to digest posts on Instagram, which led me to her podcast. I have found every episode so interesting, with a diverse range of strong and inspirational women - her podcast motivates me to make wise financial decisions for the future and I can’t recommend it enough for improving my financial literacy! Thanks Emilie!

ESSENTIAL LISTENING 💖

Emilie is THE BEST. Everything you wanted to know but were too shy to ask or made you feel frazzled when you looked into it. The wallet has been so helpful in transforming my tactics to money and the narrative in my head. Every day my little inner voice now goes “You can and you will do it!” (Also buy Emilie’s book, it’s excellent and it’s the happiest shade of yellow)

Very useful foundations

I really like this podcast and I cannot recommend it enough. It is everything that we women *should* know about personal finance but somehow…we don’t! It’s not just another podcast about finance, it’s a women friendly one. It explores our spending habits, our cultural inheritance and what matters to us, women. And if someone told you that finance is boring, this will show you that it’s not!

The best advice and guests

My go-to listen for discussion and advice for women on investing and money in general. Emilie discusses all the finance topics we need to know more about to take control of our finances and futures - and don’t forget her book!

Guided my first investment

I sold my flat and suddenly had savings for the first time in my life. Had no idea how to invest or how much as a proportion should be invested. Investing ethically (not in oil/arms/Amazon) is important to me and Emilie’s podcast and book have been great sources of information to get started. I point my friends here if they’ve never thought about finances before.

Love it!

Great conversations with inspiring guests about a topic women are often excluded about or intimidated by. Emily asks good questions, shines the light on all the questions about money we are all asking ourselves but don’t dare ask. The show is enjoyable and full of practical and relevant information for even the most novice of investors.

Finances made simple

Entering my 30’s I’ve started to really look at my finances and dabble in investing. These podcasts have been really inspiring to hear from different women at different points in their lives and investing/finance journey. Lots of great tips, resources and ideas. So glad I came across this one!

Great Information!

I have listened to a few episodes and each time I have gained something from it. Emily asks the right questions in a simple way without the complicated jargon which makes talking about money so much more approachable. Can’t recommend it enough!

Knowledge is power

I have listened to most of the episodes and each of them gave me some practical information to go and review my finances with different eyes.
All guests are incredibly knowledgeable and explain in a clear and easy way.
They are an incentive to read more, ask more questions and talk about money with people around you.
I wish I had found the vestpod community before, but now is better than never!

Thank you !!!

I am one of those people who have never been great with money. Never sure how to save it, what I can allow myself. I just started my first job and I still wonder what « adults » do... so thank you because of this podcast I feel empowered and start to understand everything a bit more, already took some life changing decisions and also got that it’s ok to learn during the process ...
