If you’ve ever wished someone would make money talk less intimidating—and a lot more fun—you’re in luck. Meet Happy Money, the brand-new weekly video podcast from Woman’s World, hosted by Digital Director Julia Dennison, created just for women in midlife who want real-world tips, uplifting stories, and simple strategies to take control of their finances. Whether you’re starting over, planning for retirement, or just looking to stretch your dollars a little further, Happy Money makes it easy (and even enjoyable!) to feel more confident about money.
Real talk and smart tips that make cents—in midlife and beyond
“I wanted to create a space where women can talk about money without fear, shame or confusion,” says Dennison. “As a single mom hitting midlife, I’ve always had a complicated relationship with money—and I know I’m not alone. We talk about everything else—why not our finances? Happy Money is about empowering women to see money as a tool for joy, freedom and self-worth.”
