We Need To Talk with Toni Street: Recent Episodes
Coast
We Need To Talk is Toni Street's new lifestyle and wellness podcast.
As an extension of Toni's segment 'We Need To Talk' in her Coast Breakfast show with Jase & Sam, this podcast gives Toni the chance to dive a little deeper into topics that interest her.
Each episode will feature a new guest chosen by Toni, as she opens up the conversation to those who may have done things a little differently in their life to help match their wellness goals.
Talking about money and finances can be incredibly difficult, and often boring, especially for women. It's hard to get the conversation started even among friends, which can lead you to feeling lost and hopeless.
That's where Victoria Harris comes in. Victoria co-founded the financial education platform The Curve, with the goal of using her experience from working in the finance world to educate women on finding their path to financial freedom.
In the episode Toni and Victoria chat about how The Curve came to be, why it's so important for women to gain a better understanding of their finances, and why the so called 'motherhood penalty' can so easily put women behind their male peers. Plus the new fund The Curve is launching specifically designed to help women start climbing the financial ladder.

The relationship between women and food can be incredibly complicated, and in many cases harmful. With weight loss and dieting engrained in girls from a young age, maintaining a positive mindset around food can be nearly impossible.

In the episode, Toni and Nicole chat about how Nicole recognised her own binge eating habits and the work she's done to have a more positive mindset around food, her mission to help other women, and the amazing opportunity she had to meet Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett.
