I have money and anxiety and juggling them both is fun. Short, conversational episodes about spending, saving, and investing. Find me on Instagram @lizgetsloaded
The Liz Gets Loaded podcast is my new favorite find. I stumbled upon it, most likely through Instagram, and I am so grateful that I did. It is incredibly easy to listen to and the topics covered are relatable and relevant to my own experiences. Liz's voice is perfect for podcasting, making it feel like I'm having a conversation with a close friend. The episodes are short and succinct, but even the occasional tangent is entertaining. Liz offers a great mix of transparency, practical advice, and technical know-how. Each week, I eagerly look forward to listening.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is how relatable Liz is. She openly discusses her own experiences with money and anxiety, making her advice and insights feel genuine and trustworthy. Her topics always seem to coincide with what I'm thinking or experiencing, which I greatly appreciate. Additionally, Liz keeps her episodes short and sweet, making them easily digestible in our fast-paced world. Her approachable style combined with her transparent nature creates a podcast that feels like chatting with a close friend.
While there aren't many negative aspects to this podcast, one potential downside could be the occasional tangents that Liz goes on during episodes. While they can be entertaining at times, some listeners may find them distracting or unnecessary. Additionally, there might be a desire for more in-depth discussions on certain topics covered in the podcast. However, considering the bite-sized format of each episode, it makes sense that these deeper dives may not always be possible.
In conclusion, The Liz Gets Loaded podcast has quickly become one of my favorites in the personal finance genre. Liz's passion for the topics she discusses shines through in each episode, making it both informative and fun to listen to. Her ability to make personal finance easy to understand while also sharing her own journey creates a podcast that feels like a valuable addition to anyone's rotation of weekly listens. Overall, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen, whether you're a finance guru or a newbie in the world of personal finance.
