3. The Fairer Cents
Co-hosts Tanja Hester and Kara Perez are determined to talk about what's too commonly swept under the rug regarding money, like inequality for women and people of color, unpaid emotional labor, the financial implications of birth and motherhood, and more.

6. Journey to Launch
Blogger, podcast host, and financial educator Jamila Souffrant has a pretty inspiring story: She bought her first investment property at the age of 22 and has set a goal to retire by 40—and her podcast features guests with equally impressive financial journeys.
