    Chriselle Lim (Founder of PHLUR & "Rich Mom" on TikTok) opens up about the raw reality of her divorce, the alimony story nobody believed, and the financial lessons she wishes she knew before getting married. From building a 250,000-person waitlist for Missing Person to navigating a messy public split, Chriselle shares how she turned heartbreak into business momentum. She explains why prenups are about protection (not distrust), how women can take control of their finances, and what no one tells you about the legal realities of marriage and money.

    This Is Why You’re Not Rich in 2026! (how to get financially free) with Codie Sanchez

    If you want to get rich in 2026, stop thinking like an employee and start owning assets! Money expert Codie Sanchez breaks down why we’re in an ownership race, how AI and the shifting job market are rewriting wealth creation, and why those without equity risk falling permanently behind. She explains how to use your 9-5 income to build leverage, negotiate equity, and start buying cash-flowing “boring” businesses without quitting your job. They expose the spending traps targeting women, the mindset shift from consumer to owner, and the exact businesses Codie would invest in right now.

    AI is rewriting entrepreneurship - and Cat Goetze quietly used it to build a $750K business in just 6 months. Maggie and Cat Goetze (AI expert and Physical Phone founder) unpack what really happened when she used AI to create and scale her business - including the exact prompts she used and the specific AI models she still relies on.

    The #1 Dating Rule That Will Change Your Life (and save months of heartbreak with Sabrina Zohar)

    Sabrina Zohar breaks down what’s really driving modern dating, from the pressure for instant certainty to anxious attachment, avoidance, and burnout. She explores how trauma shapes attraction, why great chemistry (or sex on the first date) doesn’t equal compatibility, and how modern dating dynamics can dysregulate the nervous system. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and her own journey from heartbreak to building a multi-million-dollar business featured on Shark Tank, Sabrina shares practical tools for setting boundaries, trusting yourself, and dating with intention - without losing your ambition.

    Valeria Lipovetsky: They Called Me A 'Trophy Wife' (Here Is How I Proved Them Wrong!)

    Valeria Lipovetsky signed a prenup at 21 and navigated an 18-year age-gap marriage. She reveals how she turned her real-life story into content, building a media empire reaching over 150M people each month. Maggie and Valeria explore how early conversations around marriage, money, and independence shaped the way Valeria built her career - and ultimately led to the creation of Creator Method, her framework for helping creators turn content into sustainable businesses. Valeria breaks down what successful creators do differently to last long-term: using vulnerability with intention, navigating public judgement, and growing with the support of their community. She also reflects on how failure, missteps, and knowing when to pivot played a key role in everything she’s built.

    Selling My $22M Company Didn’t Fix My Life…It Exposed Everything Wrong With It

    Jaclyn Johnson built her company, Create & Cultivate, from nothing - and later sold it for a $22 million exit!  But life changed completely when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025. The success she worked for left her burned out, depressed, and forced to start over. What followed was a total reset. Divorce. Moving cities alone. Hiring a dating coach. Rebuilding her identity at 40… Today, Jaclyn has successfully bought her original business back, has launched 2 more and continues her work as a longtime angel investor, having backed and championed female founders throughout her career. She reveals how she spots winning startups, why staying bootstrapped was her biggest business mistake, and how money changed the way people treated her. Jaclyn Discusses:  Your Body Keeps the Receipts: How her breast cancer diagnosis made her realise health is her real wealth and what she wishes she’d understood earlier. Reinventing Yourself: How she rebuilt her identity at 40 and how you can do the same when the life you’ve built no longer fits. Angel Investing Wins: How she approaches angel investing, what she looks for in founders, and why one small check can change everything.
