You make good money. Your financial independence is...pending. Let's fix that.


The Other Half of Money is the podcast for millennial women who have a good income and are ready to learn how to use it to build wealth in service of a beautiful life. If you make $80k+ but still feel like your financial future is a black box, you're exactly who this show is for.


Why the "other half"? It might not feel like it right now, but I promise that when it comes to building wealth, mastering the numbers and vocab — index funds, RSUs, dollar-cost averaging, asset allocation — is actually the easy part. What's harder (and more valuable) is the other half. The money scripts you formed four pay grades ago that are still running your financial decisions. The identity shift that has to happen along with the compounding. The systems that make wealth-building automatic (so you never have to rely on discipline or motivation to get there). And — my favorite — the vision work that connects your $ today to the luxurious, generous, deeply intentional life you actually want for yourself and everyone you love.


That's what this show is about: the other half of money. The systems that will get you to financial independence, the psychology that centers your flourishing, and the investing mastery you'll be able to pass on to your nieces and nephews.


Each episode is warm, direct, and a little conspiratorial (the conspiracy is, let's all get rich and build beautiful lives). Expect personal confessions, client breakthroughs, contrarian takes on the financial industry, and the occasional nerdy metaphor. (I'm is a former high school teacher...so it comes with the territory.)


Join money coach Annie Pietra (that's me) — who's on track for a $6M+ projected retirement on an average income of $85k/yr — every week as she shares the investing strategies, mindset tools, and wealth-building systems that have helped her clients move their retirement dates up by a decade, manage their own portfolios with confidence, and become the kind of women their nieces and nephews will talk about for the rest of their lives.


Learn how to:

  • Calculate your Financial Independence number and your work-optional date
  • Close the gap between your six-figure income and seven-figure wealth
  • Identify and rewrite the money scripts keeping you from actually investing
  • Understand index fund investing and why it outperforms nearly everything else
  • Build and manage your own investment portfolio without relying on a financial advisor
  • Open and maximize tax-advantaged accounts like Roth IRAs, 401ks, and HSAs
  • Build the mindset to stay unbothered when the market drops — and know exactly what to do instead of panicking
  • Design a wealth system that runs automatically while you live your life
  • Spend generously on what (and who) you love today while funding a wealthy future — without choosing between the two
  • Build generational wealth and pass down money AND the knowledge of how to manage it
  • Stop outsourcing your financial future and take full control — no prior investing knowledge required


Whether you're a high-earning professional with scattered 401ks and no strategy, a woman who just inherited a portfolio and is looking for answers on what to do with it, or someone who's simply ready to stop saying "I'll figure it out later" — Annie is making this show for you.


Women who earn six figures should manage their own six-figure portfolios. If that's you, get ready to learn how. FollowThe Other Half of Money and start building the Rich Aunt life today.
