Financial Feminist

Women are told from a young age to make themselves smaller –– physically, mentally, and emotionally. This leads to playing small in our careers, with our finances, and in so many other ways in our day-to-day lives. These messages usually start in wellness spaces with the often toxic messaging around the New Year that only encourages this continuous pursuit of being “small.” So we sat down with Sadie Lincoln, the founder of Barre3, to talk about getting comfortable taking up space in all aspects of our lives (but especially physically), why she rebuffs the idea that anyone needs a guru, and how she used the same resilience she teaches in class to keep Barre3 alive even when the pandemic threatened to close its doors.

We’re all feeling it –– collective burnout. Whether you’re working in corporate, building a side hustle, parenting or caregiving, finishing school, or applying for jobs, the last two years have brought on a special kind of exhaustion. Today’s guest, Mallory Rowan has found a better way to build a business without falling into the relentless pace of hustle culture. In this first bonus episode of the season, we’re introducing you to Mallory, who is joining us over at Her First $100K as our newest (and first!) HFK Creator to talk about all things marketing, real estate, and Canadian finance. You’ll love getting to know her in this part one episode as she talks about how hustle culture and burnout almost killed her, and how she’s aligned her business to encompass her new perspective.
