Love but a bit confused

I really really love both The Financial Confessions and Too Good to Be True but why are they both under the same name under this podcast? Shouldn’t the second one have it’s own podcast? Plus, the episodes aren’t marked as which is which, so it’s really confusing. When TGTBT was about to come out, I remember them saying it would be its own podcast. Was I misremembering or something? Or was it just always only gonna be a few episodes? Like I love both truly, but a bit more consistency and less confusion would be nice. I think there’s another podcast already named Too Good to Be True, so is that why they mixed the podcasts? I feel like they could have just renamed it then though? I don’t know, I’m really confused.🫠 Again, no hate intended! LOVE all of your content, but some clarification would be much appreciated please❤️

The only financial podcast I can actually listen to

I really appreciate this approach to financial discussions as someone who never felt “good” at money nor had an easy time learning about finance 101 this has really felt like a podcast for me. I’ve learned so much without feeling talked down to or at.
Also so excited for Chelsea’s book so impressed at the whole endeavor and the transparency in the recent ep was so refreshing! I would love for another episode from the perspective of someone going through a publisher or even from a publisher
