Financial Empowerment for Women: How do I start investing? ft Financial Advisor Peta Kay
Females Thriving Over ThirtyShow Notes
If you've ever thought "I should have started investing years ago" — this episode is for you.
We're back with qualified financial advisor and money coach Peta Kay (@yourfinancept), and this time we're going deep on investing: why so many millennial women avoid it, how to get started even if you're scared, and why the guilt of starting late is the exact thing keeping you stuck.
In this episode we cover: • Why women are statistically less likely to invest than men — and the real cost of that gap • How to overcome the fear of losing money (and why your brain reacts so differently to spending vs. investing) • The golden rule: never invest what you can't afford to lose • Where to actually start: ISAs, investment funds, Vanguard, Freetrade, Trading 212 explained simply • Why you're probably already investing without knowing it (your pension!) • How to track down lost pensions from old jobs — and why it matters more than you think • The risks of IPOs, meme stocks, and social media "get rich" content • High risk vs. low risk: how to think about your investment approach • Rich Dad Poor Dad: is it worth reading? • Why Peta started investing with less than £50 — and what happened next
Whether you're a total beginner or you've been meaning to start for years, this conversation will make investing feel possible — not terrifying.
