Centsational Women Investing
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).

Do wars and global crises really cause stock markets to collapse?
When dramatic world events dominate the headlines, many investors assume markets will crash and stay down. In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What markets historically did during major wars and geopolitical crises — including World War II, the Gulf War, and 9/11.
- Why fear in the headlines often doesn’t match what actually happens in financial markets.
- How long-term investors think during global shocks
If you want to understand how markets really behave during uncertain times and learn how experienced investors think during crises, this episode will give you a completely different perspective on investing.
