Think summer means spending more than you'd like? Think again. In this powerful episode of the Female Finance Collective Podcast, Jen, Mary Lee, and Sybil challenge you to try a no-spend weekend—and show you exactly how to do it without missing out on fun, connection, or comfort.

Whether you're planning ahead or reeling from recent splurges, this conversation is your invitation to slow down, save, and feel more at peace with your money.

Why it matters:

No-spend weekends aren't just about saving money. They're about gaining clarity, confidence, and a sense of control over your spending, especially in a season that’s easy to overspend in.
