Welcome to Women Investing: Investing Made Simple for European Women the money podcast for women who live anywhere in the European Continent and want to invest but have no idea where to start.  Whether you’re in the EU, the UK, Switzerland, or anywhere else in Europe you’re in the right place. We welcome everyone who calls Europe home, including expats and Americans living here!  Investing is only for rich men in suits… right? LOL. Nope. Not here. Whether you:   - Don’t know what a portfolio is - Feel intimidated by the word “investing” and by the whole process - Or secretly worry you’re “just not a money person”… You’re in the right place. I’m Francesca Torre and every Monday and Thursday, I break down personal finance, money mindset, and beginner investing in plain English with zero shame, spreadsheets, or stress. I didn’t grow up knowing any of this. Even during my early years as an investment banker, I was terrified to invest my own €1,000 despite managing millions for clients. But that’s when I started. Slowly, awkwardly, imperfectly. Now? I built a 7-figures portfolio and as the founder of Centsational Women (#1 Investing Academy for Women in Europe) I’ve helped hundreds of European women grow their money with confidence no finance degree (or spreadsheets) required. If you’ve ever thought:   “I’m too behind…” “I’m bad with numbers…” “Investing isn’t for someone like me…” Press play — and get ready to prove yourself wrong. We’ll prove you wrong (and you’ll thank us later). 🎧 Ready to take the first step?Join my free investing workshop, made for women in Europe who are ready to stop Googling and start growing. 👉 👉 Click HERE to save your spot instantly  Legal disclaimer Content on this podcast is for educational purposes only and not financial advice.

    252. Investing for Women: Same Two Years, She Has €47K and You Have Zero. THIS Is Why

    Send us Fan Mail Two women. Same starting line. Same two years. Same markets. One (our student) has built more than €47,000 and is now going for €100,000. The other has almost nothing to show for it. She didn’t earn more. She didn’t get lucky. And she isn’t “good with money.” So what happened in those twenty-four months? In this episode of Espresso & the Economy, we tell both stories, month by month. One of them will feel uncomfortably familiar. You’ll also hear why last week was the perfect week to turn into the wrong woman, and what your body does before your head even gets a vote. At the end, there’s a question to ask yourself before you open your investing app again. Your first reaction to it will tell you which of the two women you are. Press play and find out.

    250. Women and Money: You’d Fire Any CFO Who Ran Your Finances Like THIS

    Send us Fan Mail You’d never run a company with no budget and no plan. So why are you running your own life that way? Are you the unpaid CFO of your own life, doing the job badly without even knowing it? Most women who wing it with money aren’t careless. Nobody ever sat them down and taught them. Melanie left home at 18 with no one to explain the basics. Kristin grew up surrounded by money until 2008 changed everything for her family. Dagmar was a university graduate on a good salary, sure her retirement was “taken care of.” It wasn’t. In this episode you’ll hear: The signs you’re running your finances on autopilotHow much money you need before winging it becomes a choice instead of a riskThe pension trap catching women who have built careers across more than one European countryIf you finish this episode realising you’ve been winging it, good.
