Description
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).
