Summary

For our very first guest on the The Live Like a Girl podcast, I sat down with the woman who taught generations of us how to take back our financial power: Suze Orman.

Here’s why I had to start here. I spend my life helping women with hormones, weight loss, menopause, and underneath almost all of it sits one thing – cortisol. And when you scratch beneath the “cortisol surface,” so often what you find is money stress. So I brought in the icon herself to talk about what’s really keeping women sick and stuck, and what to do about it.

We get into self-worth and net worth, why women hand over their financial power, the spender-to-saver shift, divorce and the sandwich generation, the truth about your home and your car, what AI is about to do to all of us, and the money moves that matter most in 2026. Suze also shares her origin story – from waitress to financial icon and I know it will light a fire in you.

This one is a masterclass. So bring a notebook and get ready. If you’re wanting the deeper dive on exactly how to invest now, we’re giving you a special offer of Suze’s Masterclass: suzeorman.com/drmindy

0:00.0	Can I be honest with you for just a second?
0:05.0	So many of the women who have come to me have literally already tried everything.
0:11.4	They've done the diets, they've worked themselves out to death, they've done the programs,
0:16.8	they've diligently followed the advice of their doctors. And yet, they are still exhausted.
0:23.9	They are still hormonally lost.
0:26.3	They are still wondering why nothing seems to work for them.
0:31.4	And here's what I've learned after two and a half decades of working with women.
0:36.2	It's not a willpower problem. I promise you,
0:39.8	it's an education problem. Your body has a very specific set of needs. And most health advice
0:47.5	out there was never designed with those needs in mind. And so this is exactly why I built my Reset Academy.
0:55.5	It's my monthly membership community where I teach you how to use fasting, food, and lifestyle
