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.

    226. The Centsational Aperitivo: The Money That Buys You the Right to Walk Away

    Send us Fan Mail Your grandmother's generation had a name for it and they kept it a secret, tucked in a drawer. In this episode of the Centsational Aperitivo, we're pouring a slightly spicier glass and talking about something almost no one teaches women directly: the money that is entirely yours. It goes by many names running away money, freedom money, peace-of-mind money. But it has almost nothing to do with running away. It's not about a dramatic exit or a relationship gone wrong. You can be happy in your marriage, your home, your job and still need it. Because when you know you're staying by choice rather than by financial necessity, everything about how you show up changes. You're no longer dependent. You're interdependent. You're free. We get honest about why so many smart, capable, loving women have exactly zero of it and why that's not a personal failing but the result of conversations that never happened, especially the ones that feel almost impossible to have when everything is fine. We talk about the woman who stepped back from her career to raise children and quietly lost her sense of financial self-worth. We talk about the boss who thought he could decide whether attending a family funeral would cost you your job. And we talk about what it actually feels like to reach a point where someone else gets to decide where you live, what you keep, and what your future looks like. This one is tender, a little fierce, and deeply practical. By the end, you'll understand why the moment everything is perfect is precisely the moment this message matters most. What you'll take away: Why "running away money" is really about staying and how it quietly transforms the power balance in any relationship, romantic or professionalThe conversation to have early, before it ever feels needed, and why it becomes almost impossible to raise laterHow to value and structure your financial independence even if you've stepped back from paid work to care for your familyWhy freedom isn't just about the amount in the account; it's about who has access, and on whose permissionIf you've ever felt that quiet flicker of "but what if" even inside a life you love this episode is your invitation to build real ground beneath your feet.

    225. Espresso & the Economy: The Ex Who Only Texts When You've Moved On

    Send us Fan Mail There's a moment almost every woman knows. It's late, you're on your phone, and a stock — a sector, a "theme" — keeps coming up. The chart is going up and up, someone you know apparently made a lot, and something in your chest does a little flip. Everyone's getting this except me. I'm late. I should do something. In this episode of Centsational Women Investing, we sit with that flip — and why it has quietly cost smart, capable women more money than any market crash ever has. Because the hard part of investing is rarely knowing what to buy. It's knowing what to leave alone, especially when it's rising, and especially when leaving it alone makes you feel like you're missing out. This is an episode about the most underrated skill in all of investing: the discipline of the elegant no. We look at why a rising price feels like proof when it almost never is, why the opportunities everyone is talking about right now — artificial intelligence, data centres in space — can be exactly the ones a grounded investor chooses not to touch, and how to tell the difference between what's simply available to buy and what's genuinely good to own. What you'll take away from this episode: Why "it's going up" is not a reason — and the behavioural trap (recency bias) that turns recent performance into a false sense of quality in almost every investor's mind. Why the things everyone is chasing behave a lot like the ex who only texts the moment he hears you've moved on — hot because they're wanted, not because anything real has changed. A simple radar for spotting "record growth" that's really just money moving in a circle — so you can read a financial headline and sense when the numbers are moving from one pocket to another and calling it a raise. The difference between available and good, and why the strongest portfolios are built as much from what you have the discipline not to buy as from what you choose to own. And the physical reason information alone never makes a calm investor and what actually does. You'll also leave with one plain-language question you can ask yourself before you buy anything. Simple enough to answer in the supermarket queue, powerful enough to change how you invest. Support the show 🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

    224. Money & Martinis: The Birkin Test: Would You Buy It If No One Could See It?

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we pour the martinis and ask the one question that quietly separates a real investment from an expensive way to feel important: would you buy this thing if you could never show it to anyone or tell anyone about it? In this episode: The question that reveals whether you're buying the object or buying your own statusBought status vs. earned status — and why one disappears while the other can never be taken from youWhat the Birkin "14% a year" claim leaves out (and who's really making that math work)The moment status is a smart tool, and the moment it's just money that could have worked harder elsewhereWhy the real luxury isn't the object — it's being the woman who understands her money so completely she can hold the bag and the freedomIf you saw a little of yourself in this, come join our free Investing Workshop — where we walk you through how investing actually works for women in Europe, without the "the problem must be me" feeling.

    222. The Ask: You Teach People How to Treat You — Including Your Boss

    Send us Fan Mail Somewhere in a sunlit café in Paris, the four of us leaned in to talk about the one thing most women would rather avoid entirely: asking for more money. Because here's the truth we kept coming back to — you teach people how to treat you. Including your boss. We cover: Why your voice goes tight and your breath goes shallow the moment you have to ask The hidden belief underneath the fear Why the first "no" is a test and the mindset shift that turns a rejection into leverage (yes, there's a diamond-earrings story)What to do when your value isn't seen This is the first in our new series on asking for more at work, in money, and in life.

    Send us Fan Mail Your friend at dinner says it with total confidence: "I only invest in Europe I like to keep my money where I understand it." Everyone nods. It sounds wise. It sounds grounded :) It's also costing her. In this Espresso shot, Francesca unpacks why the American market keeps sprinting while Europe jogs in plain language, no economics degree required.

The facials, the massages, the gels, the "one more" moisturiser on an already full shelf. None of it is something to feel guilty about we love all of it. But almost no woman ever totals what it costs across a lifetime, and the number can quietly reach six figures.
