In this episode of the Financial Feminist podcast, Tori Dunlap talks us through the best ways to financially take care of our future selves.

A lot of modern talk about self-care makes it sound like nothing more than spa days and ice cream.

But true self-care often feels uncomfortable yet necessary - exercising when you don't feel like it, having a hard conversation with a friend, or taking a long hard look at your finances.

Tori Dunlap is a money expert and personal finance educator fighting for women's financial rights.

As the host of the number one business podcast Financial Feminist, Dunlap guides women on how to feel financially confident in a world run by men. In this episode, Dunlap explains the 'money date.'

A money date is a non-negotiable period of time set aside every month to take a close look at your finances, either alone or with your partner.

Through the money date self-care practice, we can stop burying our heads in the sand and face our money issues head-on to find solutions and set goals.
