There's one question that comes up more than almost any other when women think about investing: What if I lose all my money?

In this episode, Francesca sits down with three members of the Centsational Women team to give this question the full, honest answer it deserves.

Not "don't worry, it'll be fine." A real one.

By the end, you'll understand:

  • Where this fear actually comes from and why it tends to feel much bigger than the evidence says it should
  • What the numbers actually tell us about the real risk of losing everything in a well-structured, diversified long-term portfolio
  • What to do when that fear shows up in your body because it will, and learning to move alongside it is a skill

Spoiler: you don't need to be good at maths. You need to be a good student.
