In a society that endorses hustle culture, burnout is common. But conventional advice on how to overcome burnout is inadequate. A meditation app, yoga class or scented candle won’t undo the chronic exposure to stress that’s behind our exhaustion.So, how do we identify what’s triggering our stress? And what can we do to reverse our symptoms of burnout?Piggy and Kitty (otherwise known as Jess Fickett and Lauren Torres) are the award-winning bloggers and podcasting team behind Bitches Get Riches, a platform that helps young people become competent adults in their finances, careers and personal lives.They are also the creators of The Burnout Workshop, a self-guided course designed to empower students to recognize what’s triggering their burnout and design a concrete plan for change.On this episode of Queer Money, Jess and Lauren join us to explain what happens to us physiologically when we experience consistent, ongoing exposure to high levels of stress.Jess and Lauren explain why institutional or systemic factors make you more prone to burnout than personal factors, challenging us to use our privilege to get rid of burnout culture in the workplace.Listen in for insight on maintaining a high quality of life while pursuing your goals and learn how Jess and Lauren’s Burnout Workshop can help you overcome burnout for a healthier, happier life!For the resources and to connect with our guests, get the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe Follow us:Queer Money Instagram Queer Money YouTubeQueer Money on TiktokDownload your FREE Queer Money Kickstarter a 9-step Guide to Kickstart Your Journey to Financial IndependenceMentioned in this episode:Make your retirement fabulous!

A whopping 93% of venture capital funding goes to straight, white, men. Which means is very few and far between that an LGBTQ+ founder lands a multi-million dollar round of funding. When this does happen, we want to champion this and learn from it, so more LGBTQ+ folks can try to replicate it and create generational/community wealth.We often hear people in the community say, “I have this business idea . . .” then follow up with “but I cant start a business because of X, Y, Z, LMNOP.”And that’s simply not true. That’s why we’re busting these limiting beliefs on today’s show.This is Queer Money episode #484. And today, we’re interviewing Mark Cozzi, the CEO and co-founder of The Bettering Company, to share why and how he launched a luxury edible company, and how he secured $11MM in venture capital funding to grow his company.Mark had a 35-year career in the finance sector, primarily focused on growth companies and startups. Mark then left Wall Street to found Leor Energy, a privately held energy company.Today, Mark shares the good, the bad, and the ugly about launching and funding The Bettering Company, so maybe you too can launch your own venture (and come on Queer Money to tell us about it).For the resources and to connect with our guests, get the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe Follow us:Queer Money Instagram Queer Money YouTubeQueer Money on TiktokDownload your FREE Queer Money Kickstarter a 9-step Guide to Kickstart Your Journey to Financial IndependenceMentioned in this episode:Your fabulous retirement in Portugal is calling!Ready to turn your IRA assets into a gateway to living in Europe?

How do I prepare if marriage equality gets overturned?In June 2022, we all watched in shock as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gutted women’s rights to their bodies and reproductive healthcareMany of us in the LGBTQ+ community were even more shocked when the concurring opinion from Justice Thomas was released, where he alluded to the court’s need to review and reverse protections for same-sex couples, including marriage and the rights and responsibilities that go along with it.In addition, with more and more Gen Z and younger Millenials vocalizing that they will be sitting out the 2024 election because of their disappointment with Biden on social issues, it is possible we could see even more momentum in the country to revoke the right for same-sex couples to marry. It feels as if we’re at the precipice of going backward on this issue as we see countries like Nepal and Estonia legalizing marriage equality in 2023. So, what can same-sex couples in the United States do to protect themselves and their assets to be on the safe side?You’re listening to Queer Money episode #472. And today, we’re sharing the top 5 documents same-sex couples can and should be using to protect themselves.For the resources and to connect with our guests, get the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe Follow us:Queer Money Instagram Queer Money YouTubeQueer Money on TiktokDownload your FREE Queer Money Kickstarter a 9-step Guide to Kickstart Your Journey to Financial IndependenceMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Here!Want the confidence to retire when and how you truly want?If you’re considering retirement abroad, or simply want a second & third set of eyes on your retirement plan, we help gay foks retire fabulously — wherever that may be.

What are the best cities for gay folks in Delaware?In this episode of Queer Money®, we’re headed to the First State and shining the spotlight on Wilmington, Delaware—the most affordable LGBTQ-friendly city in the state and the proud owner of an HRC Equality Score of 80 (not too shabby, Wilmington 👏).We spill the tea on what makes Wilmington worth the move—like Crimson Moon, the video bar/dance club hybrid that keeps the local queer scene glowing well past bedtime. 🌙💃But wait, there’s more! We also peek into other Delaware cities (hi, Dover 👋) that might be lower on the equality score but still give your budget room to breathe.Oh, and did you know Delaware has one of the highest LGBTQ+ population percentages in the country at around 7.5%? Small state, big queer energy!So, if you're dreaming of a move that lets you live your truth and afford the occasional drag brunch, this episode is for you.🎧 Listen in and let’s keep building fabulous lives—on our financial terms.Takeaways:🏳️‍🌈 Wilmington Wins (Mostly) - Wilmington snatched the title of most LGBTQ-friendly city in Delaware with an HRC Equality Score of 80. Not bad, but we’re still side-eyeing that missing 20 points. Do better, Delaware.📜 History, Heimlich & Homo-Economics - Delaware may be small, but it's got big history energy—first to sign the Constitution and home to Henry Heimlich (yes, that Heimlich). Now it's time to make history again with fierce financial empowerment for LGBTQ+ folks.💸 Queer Money = Financial Power to the People - This episode is another installment in our mission to help the LGBTQ+ community slay their finances—even when the economy is giving “meh.” Because money is freedom, baby.🏠 Wilmington: Budget-Friendly and Queer-Affirming - Turns out, Wilmington has the lowest home values in the state, which means you might actually afford a home and still brunch on weekends. A rare combo!😤 Not-So-Perfect Equality Scores? We Noticed - Delaware cities, we see you—but we also see that none of you hit a perfect 100 on the HRC Equality Index. We expect more. Especially when queer lives and rights are on the line.🏖️ Rehoboth Beach, We Need to Talk - You're the coastal queen of queer getaways… yet you scored only 61 on the HRC Index?! That’s giving us glitter on the outside, but not enough equity on the inside. Let’s fix that, shall we?Topics Covered:00:06 - The Tallest Lego Tower01:41 - Exploring Delaware's LGBTQ Community03:31 - Introduction to the Queer Cities Series04:35 - Exploring Wilmington's Equality Score and Economy06:31 - Exploring LGBTQ+ Communities in Delaware07:41 - Upcoming Topics in LGBTQ+ Community DiscussionsMentioned in this episode:Your fabulous retirement in Portugal is calling!Ready to turn your IRA assets into a gateway to living in Europe?

New Year, Who Dis? 5 Fresh (and Fabulous) Ways to Level Up Your Money GameIn this episode, we’re tossing out the crusty old budgeting rules that make you feel like a broke Puritan and serving up five fierce ways to build wealth that actually feel good. 💅First up: Forget that budget that makes you cry into your cold brew. We’re all about the "no budget budget"—a sexy little system where you pay your musts first (like rent, debt, and saving for Future You), then guiltlessly spend the rest on what actually brings you joy (hello Beyoncé tickets and Trader Joe’s frozen croissants).Tip two is all about putting your dollars where your happiness is. If your spending doesn’t make your life better, what are we even doing here? Say yes to intentional spending and a big gay no thanks to money guilt.Then we get into the goods: a Roth IRA that moonlights as your tax-free emergency fund. She’s flexible, she’s smart, she’s basically your financial BFF with benefits.We also break down why one income stream is soooo last season. It’s time to diversify, darling—side gigs, passive income, OnlyFans? (Kidding… unless?)—whatever helps you build that money stack.Finally, we talk about finding your financial rhythm. Think of it like choreography for your bank account. Consistent, intentional moves that keep you dancing toward your goals—without the drama.Bottom line: this episode is your glam guide to making smarter, happier money moves all year long. Your wallet deserves a glow-up—and so do you.Episode Takeaways That Slay:💸 Bye, Budgeting Trauma! - We’re ditching dusty budgeting rules and embracing the no-budget budget—a freeing, fab approach that makes space for both smart choices and spontaneous splurges.🌈 Spend on What Sparks Joy (Not Just What Looks Good on Instagram) - Your money should make you happy, not just keep up appearances. Spend on what truly brings you joy—and say "boy, bye" to money guilt.🏳️‍🌈 Roth IRA = Your Financial Safety Net in Heels - Think of it as your emergency fund with extra flair—Roth IRAs give you tax-free access when life gets messy (and we know it will).💼 More Than Just a 9–5, Honey - Relying on a W-2 alone? That’s so 1997. We’re talking multiple streams of income—because you deserve more than just a paycheck and a pat on the back.📆 Find Your Money Groove - Structure = freedom. When your money moves have rhythm, you build wealth without burnout. Think of it like a fierce financial choreography.Topics Covered:00:14 - Rock Your Finances This Year04:30 - Focusing on Happiness in Financial Decisions08:00 - Financial Happiness and Living Standards17:04 - Pursuing a Multi-Pronged Approach to Wealth Building25:37 - Creating a Financial Plan: Steps to Achieve Your GoalsMentioned in this episode:Make your retirement fabulous!
