Podcasts can be a great way to learn new information about interesting topics. Anything from “who done it”, to advancing your career, to learning about the latest scientific discovery is included on a podcast. Some consider personal finance to be a boring topic, but I bet you can find some entertaining options in my list of 12 best podcasts for women in their 20’s- Personal Finance Edition!
One thing I have noticed is that the personality and interaction of the hosts is one of the most important parts of making a podcast I enjoy. There are a few podcasts that could talk about any boring topic, but the hosts are so engaging and interesting I would still enjoy listening.
Everyone is in a little different place with their personal finance journey and has different preferences for their podcasts. With this list of the 12 best podcasts for women in their 20’s-Personal Finance Edition, you can find something on this list that will resonate with you!
Millennial Investing
If you are a millennial and looking to learn more about investing, this is the podcast for you! Robert Leonard uses interviews with finance experts to create literacy in the ever-changing world of finance for millennials.
This is one podcast that talks a lot about investing in the stock market, properties, and other businesses in an easy-to-understand way.

Afford Anything – Making smart choices about money
Paula Pant writes one of my favorite blogs with the same title. She started with the idea that you can afford anything in your life, but can’t afford everything. You need to pick and choose what matters to you in your life and base your spending priorities on this.
In her podcast, she interviews experts from many areas and backgrounds to provide information to help people live financially independent lives. She shares real examples about making money mistakes, retirement, saving, and debt payoffs.
Episodes I love:
Courage and the consequences of inaction with Ryan Holiday
Ask Paula- How to think about finances at the 30,000-foot level
The financial benefits of optimism, with Michelle Gielan
Brown Ambition
This fun and practical podcast feels like a conversation with a few girlfriends. They give practical advice in an approachable and easy to listen to way. The episodes dive deep into topics on money, finance, and career advice and they use the opportunity to answer questions from listeners at the end of each episode.
Episodes I love:
Negotiating can be uncomfortable
How do you ask for a larger credit limit?
Can I save when it doesn’t seem like there’s enough?
ChooseFI
Choose FI is a great personal finance blog that has turned into a podcast hosted by Johnathan & Brad. Even if you are not looking to become financially independent, their podcast episodes cover a wide range of relevant topics relating to finances and economics.
Their approach is from a place that anyone can learn and do these things and you end an episode feeling encouraged rather than overwhelmed.
Episodes I love:
We want guac. Financial independence for Gen Z
Journey to Launch
I love hearing stories from real people. That is the focus of this podcast. Host Jamila Souffrant collects inspirational stories from real people who have built wealth, paid off debt, or achieved something monumental with money.
The topics are applicable to millennials and Gen Z and are all practical and applicable to listeners without complicated financial jargon.
Episodes I love:
How to change overthinking from a super problem to a superpower with John Acuff

Paychecks and Balances Podcast
When host Rich Jones started listening to financial podcasts, he realized “they all either made me feel dumb or made me feel like I was being lectured”. His podcast is the antidote to both. He approaches personal finance for beginners with empathy and an easy-to-understand way, which makes this a perfect podcast for beginners!
Episodes I love:
An intro to real estate investing for passive income featuring Dustin Heiner
Frugality is freedom featuring Jen Smith

How To Money
“Rich living on less money” Hosts Joel and Matt believe strongly in this statement. They focus on everything from managing your finances, prioritizing the things that matter the most, and reducing your expenses.
When you use the money you have in a purposeful, thoughtful way, that fits your lifestyle, then you start living a wealthy life.
Episodes I love:
Ownership is the key to wealth building
These financial rules were made to be broken
Can we count on Social Security or is it busted?
The Fairer Cents
The Fairer Cents is recommended for women who want to learn how to manage their finances well, they don’t just talk about the facts and how to’s. They also look at why money is such a complicated topic for women and discuss the cultural factors that affect women’s struggle against economic inequality.
I have been reading the blog of host Tanja Hester, Our Next Life, for many years and enjoy her perspective on cultural issues and how they affect finances.
Episodes I love:
The economics of wellness, part 1: Women & Yoga Culture

HerMoney Podcast

Investing for short-term and long-term goals
Couple Money
This podcast helps spouses manage their joint finances, pay debts faster and improve marriage by building wealth together
I love this topic because so many women in couples are overwhelmed by managing money and just turn it over to their husbands. I believe women should be involved and understand what is going on with the family finances even if they are not the main person managing it.
