“Growing up, it was always the men around me talking about finance, everything from the S&P 500 to which stocks were performing well. As I got older, that started to worry me. I didn’t want to be a woman with no financial footing or understanding. I began listening religiously to all kinds of finance podcasts, but most were boring. The Money with Katie Show, however, is engaging and covers finance in a way that actually keeps you interested. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about money and the political and social intersections that shape it.”

“I love blush, but I could never find one that didn’t have too many harsh ingredients or break the bank. This one checks all my boxes. It’s affordable, gentle on the skin, and gives the perfect natural-looking glow. It’s like, “I just got out of the sun; this is totally natural.”

“My favorite show of all time. It’s relatable, iconic, and so funny. Phoebe Waller-Bridge perfectly captures the universal female experience. When I watched it in high school, I wasn’t my most secure self, and it made me feel seen. It showed me that everyone’s journey is different, but every person is unique and worthy of love and life.”

“I have Carrie Bradshaw–level crazy curls, and they’ve always been both a struggle and an insecurity for me. Pattern Heavy Conditioner does a beautiful job of moisturizing my hair while keeping the curls tightly intact. Now I can wear my hair curly to the office and not feel like a messy wreck with eternal frizz.”

“There’s something enjoyable, relatable, and calming about watching older women still trying to figure it all out. This show is hilarious, and also has one of the greatest female friendships ever portrayed on television. A perfect mom-and-daughter watch.”

“We all experience personal losses in life, whether it’s a family member, a pet, or a job or dream we deeply wanted. The question is, how do we move through that loss and come back stronger? This book, written by the iconic Joan Didion, offers a powerful illustration of what it takes to overcome great loss and continue living in a meaningful way.”
