Workshop
Workshop
When we sent out our survey last fall, by far, one of the most popular topics you wanted to hear more about was investing. But many of you admitted to not feeling ready.
So… we made something for you.
It’s called Investing Before You’re Ready — a 60-minute workshop designed for the girlies who know investing matters, but keep waiting to feel more confident, more informed, more “qualified.”
We’re not financial advisors. We’re not going to throw jargon at you or pretend this is complicated. We’re going to walk you through the basics calmly and clearly — and help you take your first step without needing to feel 100% ready first.
If investing has been floating around in your brain for months (or years), this is your gentle nudge.
Know it’s time to invest… but don’t feel ready?
Our workshop, Investing When You Don’t Feel Ready, walks you through the emotional and practical barriers that keep so many women frozen — and helps you take your first step without pretending confidence has to come first.
Money tools we love
Below is a running list of the bank accounts, credit cards, and other money tools we use in our own lives.
We share these often on the podcast and in our newsletter because they’ve been such an integral part of how we manage our finances, and we love them! <3
(Is it weird to say you love a specific bank account or credit card? Maybe! But who are we to judge?)
Banks we love
We care a lot about banks that have no fees, are good for high-yield savings, and don’t make everyday money tasks harder than they need to be.
These are the personal bank accounts that have earned a permanent spot in our lives.
Ally Bank
Cass has been using Ally Bank for her checking and savings since 2013 (!!)
Emily uses Capital One 360 for her checking and savings.
Capital One
Credit cards we love
We don’t believe credit cards are inherently “good” or “bad.” We talk about them as tools — ones that can be helpful if they’re used intentionally.
These are the ones we personally use:
Cass’s runner-up: Delta American Express Platinum
Best for people who frequently fly Delta.
Emily’s runner-up: United Explorer Card
Best for people who frequently fly United.
Our top pick: Chase Sapphire Preferred
Emily and Cassidy both use the Chase Sapphire Preferred as their everyday card.
For freelancers & self-employed girlies
Money looks different when you work for yourself — and these tools have helped us navigate that reality.
Bluevine Business Checking
This is Cassidy’s favorite business bank account (and it’s also on almost every best business bank account list you’ll find online). There are no fees, and you earn a high APY on your whole balance.
Collective for taxes, accounting, and bookkeeping
If you earn at least $60k as a small business owner or freelancer, you could save money on taxes by structuring your business as an S-Corp. This company does the whole sha-bang for you — S-Corp formation, taxes, and bookkeeping. Cass has been using them since 2020 and lovessss them.
Wave for invoicing
A solid option for invoicing and basic accounting. Cassidy has been using the same free version since she started her freelance business in 2019.
Chase Business Ink Unlimited credit card
Emily and Cassidy both separately use this card for business purchases as a way to earn even more travel rewards.
Books we won’t shut up about
Some of these changed how we think about money. Some changed how we think about ourselves.
We link through Bookshop so you can support independent bookstores when possible. We’re also HUGE fans of the library!
