“Michela is very genuine and generous with her community. It takes a lot of vulnerability to open up about areas of growth, personal finance and (from one of her last episodes) loneliness. We’re all navigating different challenges and I think she’s brave for putting hers in the public sphere....”Read full review »

“I struggle to follow this podcast. She has good information but is coming from an extremely privileged mindset and fails to acknowledge this in many ways. Yes, absolutely she has worked hard but still very privileged and it shows… There are other money podcasts out there that speak in an informed...”Read full review »

“The Podcast host specifically states at the end of her episodes to not write critiques to her publicly, so be aware that these reviews are likely skewed. I’ve listened to a number of episodes and she seems to spend limited time actually discussing financial advice and most of it comes from a...”Read full review »

“I have owned the PFD for a few years and now found Michaela’s podcast. She’s direct, smart and thoughtful.

It’s everything I wish I...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed this podcast before, but the new 2024 shift/vibe of Don’t Depend on Daddy really resonates with me. This podcast truly went from 4 to 5 stars.
I’m the same age as Michela and work in a remote corporate setting at a job that I love love love, and can’t wait to keep track of my progress...”Read full review »

“I love Michela’s podcast. She’s blunt and honest and remain true to her self. I have her PFD and bought her audio book (own your money) and I highly recommend both of these to get your money life in order. This podcast is light to listen in and a little kick in the butt of you need it!”

“New year so I’m trying to be more intentional with my finances, I’ve followed Michaela on Instagram for a while so thought I’d give her podcast a listen and so far I’m not sure how I feel, a little disappointed I guess. Agree with others that the first 15 mins of the episodes seem to push her...”Read full review »

“After listening to her interview on TFD podcast, I gave this a shot but these episodes are about her selling you her x, y, z, commercials, and ramblings about nothing.
And if/when she does finally touch upon finance subjects, there’s not a lot of relatable anything for a broader audience so it’s...”Read full review »
