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).

207. You Got a Pay Rise. So Why Do You Feel Broker Than Ever?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You got a pay rise this year. So why does money still feel tight?
In this episode, we break down one of the most important — and most quietly confusing — things happening in the economy right now: the difference between what your salary says on paper, and what it's actually worth in real life.
You'll learn what real wages are and why this single concept changes how you read any financial headline. You'll understand how inflation works as a slow, invisible leak on your savings and why cash is not as safe as it feels. And I'll give you a simple calculation you can do right now to find out exactly what your money is actually earning in the real world.
Because once you see that number, it becomes very hard to keep treating "doing nothing" as the responsible choice.
