You’re Not Broke. You’re Trapped. The Money Lies Women Are Told | Vivian Tu (Your Rich BFF)

Описание: What if the real reason you avoid getting savvy with money isn’t math? Vivian Tu, former Wall Street trader turned founder of “Your Rich BFF,” is back, and this time she’s asking us to rethink everything we think we know about money, including the complicated emotions that come with it. From paying an $8,000 lease break in her twenties to becoming the breadwinner in her marriage, Vivian opens up to Danielle about the evolution from being “smart” with money to being wise. But this isn’t just a finance conversation. It’s about shame. It’s about immigrant parents and sacrifice. It’s about dating red flags, prenups, consumerism, and the quiet fear so many women carry that they’re “bad with money.” Plus, the one investing mistake too many of us are making without even realizing it.
