  • Your Financial Reset for 2026 with Marley Rose Harris.

    Your Financial Reset for 2026 with Marley Rose Harris.
    Jan 7 2026
    If 2025 didn’t go to plan (you’re not alone), this episode is a powerful reset for the year ahead. Marley Rose Harris joins us to talk about how subconscious beliefs shape everything from money and confidence to relationships, and why shifting your mindset isn’t just “positive vibes,” it’s real, practical work. And this isn’t just theory: Marley coaches Vic and Soph through their real-life money patterns in real time, uncovering the beliefs underneath them (spoiler: it’s not what you think). You’ll also hear Marley’s wild take on debt including the idea that we can hold onto it for a subconscious “hidden advantage” 👀plus practical tools you can use to start rewriting your money story immediately. Expect a few uncomfortable truths and at least one “oh… that explains a lot” revelation…⚠️ This episode includes themes of loss and grief, which may be emotional for some listeners. Please take care while listening, and feel free to pause or skip if you need to.🎁 Want to win a 1:1 session with Marley Rose Harris (valued at $2,000) plus access to her online course for you and a friend?

  • What we've learned in 2025.

    What we've learned in 2025.
    Dec 17 2025

    🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟


    It’s our annual “let’s unpack the year that’s been” episode, and yes, it’s equal parts finance recap, emotional support podcast, and why does London cost £30 to breathe? We reflect on the year’s biggest money moments (hello wild stock market returns, AI doing the absolute most, Bitcoin being Bitcoin, and gold randomly popping off), plus the behind-the-scenes reality of running The Curve without spontaneously combusting. Expect honest chat about budgeting properly (and what happens when you don’t), building an emergency fund, buying property, borrowing money from parents (humbling!), navigating relationship finances, and the ongoing quest for balance when your to-do list regenerates overnight like a cursed Tamagotchi. It’s a mix of lessons learned, goals for next year, and a gentle reminder that you can do everything… just not all at once.


    Drop a comment with what you learned this year, what you’re ditching in 2025, and the goals you’re taking into next year we want to hear it all!


    Thank you for a fantastic year everyone and see you in 2026. ❤️

  • 2025’s Best News Yet for Women.

    2025’s Best News Yet for Women.
    Dec 14 2025
    🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟It’s the final Curve Weekly of the year and yes, we somehow open with eggs, sleep, and the pillow-fort Sophie made last night on her sleepover. But once we snap out of the delirium, we’re diving into a wild week in finance: Warner Brothers is officially the belle of the ball with Netflix and Paramount clawing for it’s attention (hostile bids, political puppeteering, billion-dollar drama - it's basically Succession but with more streaming). Then we chat about the world’s biggest ice-cream brand going public, yep, Magnum is now a standalone stock, though the whole “health and wellness trend meets frozen sugar block” debate gets very real. Nvidia’s China green light is finally confirmed, bringing in billions (and maybe some legally questionable tax mechanics). And to close out 2025? The best global news for women we’ve seen all year: India has started compensating women for unpaid domestic labour. No strings attached. No forms. Just cash, dignity, and a serious shift in economic power. If you need a year-end episode with corporate drama, sweet treats, geopolitical spice, and a big feminist mic drop… this one’s for you!WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits:Acquisition – One company buys another.Bidding War – Companies fighting over who gets to buy something.Hostile Takeover – A takeover nobody asked for.Shareholder – Someone who owns a slice of a company.Equity – Shares.Spin-Off – A company turning part of itself into a new company.Conglomerate – One big company made of lots of little ones.GLP-1 Drugs – Ozempic-style appetite suppressants.Addressable Market – Everyone a company could sell to.Lobbying – Schmoozing politicians for business wins.Revenue – Money coming in (before bills).Red Tape – Annoying admin that slows everything down.Takeover Target – A company everyone suddenly wants to buy.Credits:Hosts: Victoria Harris & Sophie HallwrightProducer & Editor: Emily RigbySocial & Digital Manager: Lucy Munro⁠⁠Leave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️⁠⁠For more from The Curve:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Investing Club⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠(00:00:00) Coming up in this episode...(00:01:11) Quick catch up: eggs & sleep (00:06:11) Warner Bros: Inside the Major Bidding War(00:18:44) Magnum’s Market Debut: Investing in Ice Cream(00:29:42) Arnott’s: What’s Really Going On(00:33:30) Nvidia’s Milestone: China Approves Chip Sales(00:36:29) India’s Landmark Policy Supporting Women(00:44:46) Thank you for listening to The Curve Weekly!(00:45:24) Financial DisclaimerDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.
