Are you a Canadian woman who wants to get your finances in order but gets intimidated by all the jargon? You're not alone. Welcome to the Two Girls Investing Podcast, your new weekly dose of money empowerment, minus the boring lectures. Every Friday, join friends Colleen and Jess as they chat about their own financial journeys- the highs, the lows and everything in between.

Through their honest and hilarious conversations, they'll teach you topics like: Budgeting and saving without feeling deprived, conquering debt and finally getting ahead, demystifying investing for beginners and navigating life's biggest financial decisions. They're not financial advisors - they're here to prove that talking about money can be fun and easy. With two different perspectives, they share what they know, ask the questions you're afraid to ask, and normalize talking about money. Consider them your money besties - here to help you take control of your financial future.
