Summary
Vivian sits down with Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First 100K and NYT bestselling author of Financial Feminist, for a conversation about money, power, and what it really takes for women to build wealth in 2026. Tori saved $100K by 25, turned that milestone into a multi-million dollar media company, and has spent years educating women about the importance of financial independence. In this episode, you'll learn: The actual strategy behind saving $100K by 25 — the salary, the sacrifices, the timeline, and how to realistically hit that milestone in today's economy without the privilege-blind advice that makes you want to throw your phone across the room. Why financial feminism is so much more than a buzzword: how the gender wealth gap, the pressure women face around money, and the lack of representation in investing spaces make building wealth as a woman a fundamentally different — and political — act, and what Tori is doing to change that. What it takes to turn a personal finance win into a business empire, from the toughest decisions Tori has had to make as a founder, to why she believes women owning companies is one of the most powerful wealth-building moves of our generation, and the one money move everyone should be making right now.
