In this episode of The Gynarchy Podcast, we talk with financial consultant and coach Julie Praline aka “The Wealth Visionnaire” on Instagram, about women, wealth, and financial empowerment. With over 20 years of experience in corporate finance and investment management, Julie shares practical strategies to help women build confidence with money, invest wisely, and create financial freedom — or what we like to call “work optional” power.

We discuss why women often avoid financial conversations, how to overcome shame and fear around money, and why understanding your numbers is essential for independence, especially in relationships. Julie shares her philosophy of “money dates,” the importance of aligning spending with your values, and why boring investing often wins in the long run.

Topics we cover in this episode:

• Money as power and a tool for freedom and choice
• Overcoming emotional barriers, shame, and avoidance around money
• How to structure “money dates” and build consistent financial habits
• Aligning spending and saving with your values and future goals
• Salary negotiation strategies and closing the gender pay gap
• Financial planning around maternity leave and caregiving
• Protecting yourself financially in relationships and marriage
• Separate vs. joint accounts and preventing financial abuse
• Important money conversations before having children
• Preparing financially for divorce (even if you think it won’t happen)
• Investing fundamentals: diversification, asset allocation, and long-term strategy
• Risks of following hot stock tips and social media financial trends
• Different types of assets: stocks, bonds, real estate, cash, commodities, crypto, and luxury goods
• Why women investors often outperform men
• Retirement planning with longevity in mind (planning to age 100)
• Long-term care planning and not becoming a financial burden to your loved ones
• The power of compound growth and starting early
Julie’s top tips: consistency, honesty, and self-forgiveness with money
