A Midlife Money Masterclass with Suze Orman: Cortisol, Self-Worth, and Taking Back Your Financial Power

For our very first guest on the The Live Like a Girl podcast, I sat down with the woman who taught generations of us how to take back our financial power: Suze Orman.

Here’s why I had to start here. I spend my life helping women with hormones, weight loss, menopause, and underneath almost all of it sits one thing – cortisol. And when you scratch beneath the “cortisol surface,” so often what you find is money stress. So I brought in the icon herself to talk about what’s really keeping women sick and stuck, and what to do about it.

We get into self-worth and net worth, why women hand over their financial power, the spender-to-saver shift, divorce and the sandwich generation, the truth about your home and your car, what AI is about to do to all of us, and the money moves that matter most in 2026. Suze also shares her origin story – from waitress to financial icon and I know it will light a fire in you.

This one is a masterclass. So bring a notebook and get ready. If you’re wanting the deeper dive on exactly how to invest now, we’re giving you a special offer of Suze’s Masterclass: suzeorman.com/drmindy
