This time, Rebecca speaks to Ellie Austin-Williams, founder of This Girl Talks Money.

In her own words, Ellie is ‘Breaking the money taboo & putting financial wellbeing on the agenda’. She started TGTM because she was ‘bored of the same old financial tips written by middle aged white men in suits’, and wanted to ‘open the conversation up around earning, spending, saving and managing money.’

Alongside building a community of 30,000 financially empowered women, Ellie has worked with brands from Glamour to American Express, as well as providing financial expertise for Refinery29, Stylist, BBC News & more. She was recently invited to 10 Downing Street to talk with the prime minister about the new strategy for tackling fraud AND she’s just announced the release of her first book, Money Talks: A Lifestyle Guide for Financial Wellbeing.

Ellie gives invaluable insights around cultivating a healthy mindset around money, why so many of us end up in debt without knowing what we’re signing up for, and the way the system in the UK needs to be improved in order to support women, to close the gap when it comes to financial stability. Plus, managing the pressure of running your own business, the fear of failure and the pressure to choose a career we’re going to enjoy.
