In this episode of the Womanhood Unedited Podcast “Because Presence Doesn’t Help No One”, we get honest about something many women are living with but few feel safe talking about.

Money, Pressure, and Womanhood explores how financial pressure quietly shapes women’s lives, how it affects our decisions, our confidence, our relationships, and our ability to rest. From living paycheck to paycheck, to making impossible choices between rent, groceries, childcare, or basic needs, this conversation names the realities women are often expected to handle in silence.

We talk openly about the pressure to “figure it out,” the lack of financial education many women were never given, and how shame keeps women from asking for help even when they’re overwhelmed. This episode centers real survival stories, practical ways women cope day to day, and where support can actually be found without judgment.

This is not a conversation about failure or irresponsibility.

It’s about systems that are heavy, expectations that are unrealistic, and women who are still showing up anyway.

The start of a new year often comes with pressure to do more, be better, and have everything figured out. In this opening episode of Womanhood, Unedited, we pause the noise and start somewhere more honest.

Through real-life stories and open conversation, we explore the emotional load women carry, the guilt that shapes so many decisions, and why organisation has to begin with understanding not perfection. Whether you’re a mother, carer, co-parent, or simply navigating life and family in any form, this episode invites you to reflect without blame and step into 2026 with kindness and clarity.
