Divas and Duckets

It's a trendy term lately, "soft life". For some it simply means living with a sense of balance and refusing to remain in unhealthy situations. However, the term has also taken on a life of its own thanks to social media as some align the term with luxurious living or liken a soft life to cutting people off when things get tough or uncomfortable.

In this episode we discuss soft life--what it is, what it is not--and how to align your goals and finances with a softer, more peaceful way of life.

Did you know that every 9 seconds a woman in the US is assaulted or beaten? Or that as many as 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men face domestic violence from an intimate partner?

Domestic Violence remains a serious issue across the nation and many victims suffer in silence due to shame, lack of resources and isolation.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we sat down with Dr. Angelia Riggsbee, "Dr. A" to discuss her story as a survivor, her work in the community advocating for victims, red flags to be aware of and much more.

The more things change, the more some things remain the same such as the stigma against women who choose not to have children, presumptions about stay-at-home moms or the fact that women generally are still the primary caretaker regardless of their employment status. That decision, having children, affects women in multiple ways--their time, their expenses even their yearly bonuses.

In this episode, we discuss the catch 22 of becoming mothers (nor not), the cost of raising kids in today's age, one of the Diva's own journeys with cryopreservation, child support allocations, savings opportunities and more.

Real estate continues to be a hot topic. As usual, the internet makes investing look like a simple, overnight come up. We see many influencers and moguls seamlessly purchasing or renovating a property and flipping the home for a profit (a hefty one at that!) before moving on the next. It can be intimidating to know where to start or how to fund your initial venture, especially if you don't have tens of thousands in the bank.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Calhoun to discuss how he got started investing in real estate--including his projects involving commercial properties and hotels--and how you can get a little skin in the game even if you don't have a lot of cash on hand.

All over the internet we see various wanderlusts living it up surrounded by sunshine and clear waters. Surely such jaw dropping views must cost a pretty penny; however, many of them travel for free (or as close to free as possible). While many are likely compensated as influencers, you don't have to have thousands of followers (or dollars) to travel at the world. You just have to be strategic and savvy with points and rewards.

In this episode, we sit down with Sinetra Holbrook of "The Points Guy" to discuss strategies for using credit card and hotel reward points to fund your dream getaways.

Not too long ago, there was a flood of memes describing unsavory situations. These descriptions were then followed by multiple red flag emojis. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's easier to recognize the signs AFTER a situation has ended badly, for sure. But what about those "not quite right" moments we choose to ignore in the moment? Are they red flags or overthinking? And if they are red flags, why do we ignore them?

We sat down with our favorite mental health practitioner, Todd Malloy to discuss that and then some. Tune in now!
