You Might LIke...Sari Botton on the Real Cost of People-Pleasing from the HerMoney Podcast

How She Does It is on a short hiatus, but Karen was kind enough to let us drop into your feed today. This show is part of the HerMoney Media Network — so if you like what you hear, come find us at The HerMoney Podcast.

On today's episode, Jean Chatzky sits down with Sari Botton, the writer and editor behind Oldster Magazine, a Substack newsletter with over 85,000 subscribers, and author of And You May Find Yourself: Confessions of a Late-Blooming Gen X Weirdo.

In this episode, we cover:

• What the real financial cost of people-pleasing is
• How women in the Oldster community have reinvented themselves professionally in their 50s, 60s, and beyond
• The "compare and despair" trap so many of us fall into around money milestones
• Sari's own winding career, from ghostwriting to naming pantyhose colors to building Oldster
• Making peace with financial regrets
