Genuine host

Michela is very genuine and generous with her community. It takes a lot of vulnerability to open up about areas of growth, personal finance and (from one of her last episodes) loneliness. We’re all navigating different challenges and I think she’s brave for putting hers in the public sphere. Plus, she offers actionable tips and strategies. Appreciate her perspective!

Sorry

The way you talk in here is so arrogant, too much ads and self love

Hannah Nadine ,

Tells it how it is!

I discovered @breakyourbudget and Michela pretty recently, and instantly fell in love with her content and podcast. I love love love how she tells it how it is and isnt afraid to hide anything, whether that’s finance-related or simply life related. She’s relatable, and I feel like every 20-something year old should be listening to her podcast and consuming her content in order to get their finances/life on track earlier in life. I also feel like I am chatting to a good friend (tbh wish I was her friend IRL😭)!
