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.

    215. Own the Canal, Not the Ship: The Real Money Is Never Where Everyone's Looking

    Everyone watches the ship. Almost no one watches the canal. In this episode, I share one mental model that, once you see it, you can't un-see, the quiet reason the obvious investment is almost never the one that makes people wealthy. We'll go from the great age of shipping to the phone in your hand, and I'll show you why the real value (and the real risk) almost always sits one layer beneath the headlines. This is the difference between consuming money facts and becoming a woman who can stand in the noise and see clearly. → Ready to learn how we actually think?

    213. The Most Expensive Investing Mistake Women Make at Market Highs

    You finally did it. You put money in the market. Things are going well and instead of feeling good, you feel tense. You're watching the number, waiting for it to all fall apart.

    212. You Know What to Do With Your Money. So Why Aren't You Doing It?

    You've done the research. You understand the strategy. You even agree with it. And yet you still haven't done it. Today I'm joined by Kristin, our certified somatic and accountability coach inside the Academy, and we're going somewhere most financial podcasts never go: your body. We cover the four nervous system patterns that quietly run your financial decisions (scarcity, hypervigilance, freeze, and fawn), where they come from, and what it actually takes to change them not just understand them, but genuinely shift them. Because investing isn't only a knowledge problem. It's a nervous system problem. If something in this episode lands, there's a structured place where we work through all of this together, with real one-on-one support. 👉 Book a call with our team — link below. 🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

    211. Why Markets Keep Rising And the Hidden Force Most Investors Have Never Heard Of

    Most people think they understand why stock markets go up. Companies do well, prices rise. Simple, right? Not quite. There are actually two completely separate forces that drive markets higher and if you only know one of them, you're missing half the picture. More importantly, you're making decisions based on an incomplete map. In this episode:   — The two engines that drive stock prices higher (and why most people only know one)  — What multiple expansion is, explained with a bakery  — Why falling interest rates can be a powerful tailwind for markets  — The gap between understanding a framework and being able to use it with your own money If today's episode resonated and you want to go beyond the theory to build real structure, confidence, and the emotional capacity to invest consistently, book a call with our team.  🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

    210. Are You Running Out of Time? Every Woman Thinks She Missed the Train

    Every week a woman asks us this question a little quietly, a little ashamed: is it too late for me to start? In this episode Francesca sits down with the full Centsational Women team to answer it honestly. No false comfort. No "it's never too late!" cheerleading. Just the real answer, the numbers, and what starting at 40, 45 or 50 actually builds. Because underneath that question is almost always something else entirely. And that's where the real conversation begins. If you're ready to stop wondering and start building book a call with our team. The link is below. 🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

    209. The Inflation Nobody Can Fix — And What Smart Women Do About It

    Prices are rising. Wages aren't keeping up. And yet the stock market just hit an all-time high. If that feels confusing — this episode is for you. In today's episode I break down why the inflation we're living through right now is fundamentally different from anything central banks know how to fix, how one geopolitical conflict is directly raising the price of your groceries, and what this moment actually means for your money. Understanding the type of economic problem you're facing is the first step to making smart financial decisions. 🔗 Join our free Investing Workshop! 🎓 Ready to take the first real step?

    You've read the articles. You've listened to the podcasts. You understand the basics. So why haven't you started investing yet? Spoiler: it's not because you don't know enough. This week, Francesca sits down with KristIn, our somatic and accountability coach, to talk about the real reason intelligent, high-earning women stay on the sidelines  and what actually moves them forward. Because the problem was never information. It was never the right moment. It was your nervous system. And in this episode, we explain exactly why and what to do about it. 🎙️ If today felt uncomfortably familiar, book a call with our team.
