Vestpod
Empowering Women to Achieve Financial Independence
What we do
Vestpod is a thriving community on a mission to help people—especially women—gain financial confidence and independence. We break the silence around money, encouraging open conversations and building sustainable financial habits that support long-term wealth creation.
At Vestpod, we talk about:
Earning more and navigating career growth
Saving and investing with confidence
Building financial resilience for a secure future
Our community is made up of women aged 25–45 from all walks of life—first-time savers, experienced investors, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and senior professionals.
Why It Matters
The financial gender gap is real and persistent:
Women in the UK earn just 90p for every £1 earned by men.
Women are more likely to take on caring roles, impacting their earnings and savings.
The average woman retires with half the pension wealth of a man.
Together, we can change this. Through education, community, and action, Vestpod helps women take charge of their financial futures.
Founded by Emilie Bellet
Vestpod was founded by Emilie Bellet, a former private equity analyst turned entrepreneur, author, and speaker. After realizing how little financial education was available—especially for women—Emilie launched Vestpod to create a space for honest, jargon-free conversations about money. She’s the author of You’re Not Broke, You’re Pre-Rich, the host of The Vestpod Podcast, and a sought-after speaker on financial empowerment.
