About this listen

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).

    188. She Had the Books. The Courses. The Advice. But Still Didn’t Invest… Until This Happened
    Mar 12 2026

    In this episode, you’ll hear the story of Thatiana — a linguist, a mother, and a woman who once felt completely lost when it came to money and investing. Surrounded by people who talked about finance but never truly explained it, she spent years buying courses, books, and trying to figure it out alone… until she decided to take a different approach and finally understand how money actually works.

    Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

    1. Why having information about investing isn’t the same as truly understanding it — and what most beginners are missing.
    2. How starting with the foundations of money (not stocks) can change everything about the way you approach investing.
    3. What helped Thatiana go from feeling financially illiterate to confidently discussing investing with her family.

    187. Why Uncertain Times Are Exactly When You Should Start Learning to Invest
    Mar 9 2026

    Is global uncertainty making you hesitate to start investing?

    When headlines are filled with geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty, it’s natural to feel like now is the worst possible time to start investing. But that reaction is often driven by something deeper: the way our brains are wired to avoid losses and delay financial decisions.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    1️⃣ Why uncertainty triggers loss aversion and makes people freeze financially

    2️⃣ What markets historically do during geopolitical tensions and crises

    3️⃣ Why learning investing during uncertain times can actually make you calmer and more confident

    If you want a clearer, calmer perspective on investing in uncertain markets, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and why learning now can change how you approach money forever.

    Mar 5 2026

    What does financial confidence actually look like when you start investing in your 50s?

    For many women, money has always felt like something to “figure out later.” But later arrives faster than expected. In this episode, you’ll hear a real story from Kate, one of our Academy students, and you’ll discover:

    1. The moment that made Kate realize she needed to start investing in her 50s
    2. How she went from feeling completely blocked about investing to confidently building her own portfolio
    3. Why taking “informed risks” with your money can feel more empowering than leaving it untouched

    If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start, this episode might change the way you think about your financial future.
