About this listen

Welcome to 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).

  • 174. The Budget Mistake Too Many Women Investors Make — And Why It Costs More Than Money

    174. The Budget Mistake Too Many Women Investors Make — And Why It Costs More Than Money
    Jan 22 2026

    Are you investing your time, energy, or even money but still feel like your financial future isn’t really yours?

    If you’re a woman building wealth, you’ve probably been told to focus on investing strategies or income goals. But there’s one powerful tool most women overlook: a personal spending budget. Not a spreadsheet. A boundary.

    In this episode, we break down the unseen connection between budgeting, autonomy, and long-term investing success for women — especially in relationships. You’ll hear why financial freedom starts with reclaiming ownership over your money… even (and especially) when you’re not the one earning it all.

    You’ll learn:

    1. Why many smart, ambitious women avoid budgeting — and how it leads to financial dependency
    2. How to reframe a personal budget as a tool of power, not restriction
    3. What financial freedom actually looks like when you’re investing in yourself first

    This episode is a must-listen for any woman investing in her future — emotionally, legally, and financially.

    🎧 Hit play now and take back ownership of your financial freedom.
