This year? We’re not freestyling our nervous systems. We’re talking Zoloft, Lamictal, and the very real truth that healing sometimes comes in the form of a prescription. High-functioning, high-achieving women are burning out quietly and we’re over it. In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it looks like to be the friend who has her life together and takes medication. Because being mentally well isn’t a secret. It’s a strategy. And rich girls? We regulate.

Golden handcuffs… or golden launchpad? In this candid convo, Genesis and Claudia unpack the real pros and cons of corporate America from paychecks, equity, and benefits that change your net worth (hello IVF coverage and education stipends) to the politics, burnout, and identity traps no one warns you about. We trace how big-tech jobs became our training ground for access, power, and freedom of choice, and where the line is between “using the system” and letting it use you. If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay, jump, or build both, this one’s for you.
We talk gratitude without the gloss, ambition without the martyrdom, and the messy in-between: playing the game, leaving room for a bigger mission, and finding your value beyond a job title. Rich or Not? We end with a rapid-fire corporate edition that might ruffle a few micro-kitchen feathers.

Taxes...the word alone can make your stomach drop. In this episode of It’s Giving Rich, Claudia and Genesis dive headfirst into one of adulthood’s most confusing (and expensive) realities. From jaw-dropping IRS bills to loopholes the wealthy quietly leverage, we’re breaking down what taxes really are, how the U.S. progressive system actually works, and why going from broke to wealthy comes with some painful (and hilarious) lessons.
We share our own sticker-shock stories (including Claudia’s $29K tax surprise and Genesis’s $30K entrepreneur bill), unpack the difference between W2s, 1099s, and LLCs, and expose how the wealthy use strategies like depreciation, charitable giving, and even tractors to reduce their taxable income.
If you’ve ever thought, I don’t want to make more money because I’ll just lose it to taxes, this episode is for you. We’ll show you why that mindset doesn’t add up, and how to start thinking strategically about your money so you can play the same game as the rich.
Because baby, if you’re not rich yet, you’re about to be.
In this deeply personal and insightful episode of "It's Giving Rich," Claudia opens up about the transformative power of identity reinvention and the profound internal shifts required to step into your next-level self. Claudia shares her own compelling journey—moving from severe obesity, profound anxiety, and financial limitations in the Bay Area to her reinvention as a confident, successful entrepreneur and podcast host in New York City. She explores psychological frameworks like ego death, identity crises, and depth psychology to explain why transformation often feels unsettling, disorienting, and filled with grief.
Throughout the episode, Claudia provides powerful insights into why breaking from your past identity is essential to growth, wealth, and personal fulfillment. She highlights the importance of recognizing discomfort as a signal of positive change and offers practical tools for navigating this challenging yet rewarding process including grounding techniques, visualization exercises, and intentional body language.

Whether you’ve lived through 2008, just got laid off, or are trying to make sense of nail salon economics, this one’s for you. We’re talking emergency funds, income-producing skills, high-yield savings hacks, and investing while everyone else is freaking out.
And of course, it wouldn’t be It’s Giving Rich without a little chaos: crackhead real estate, falling through floorboards, Peloton regrets, Costco Versace watches, and why Claudia refuses to ever talk about kitchen sinks again.
If you’re growth oriented, mentally resilient (or trying to be), and ready to be a millionaire during the next downturn, press play. Wealth is coming.
In this solo episode, Claudia gets real about the unspoken codes of being hot, smart, and in sales where appearance can close a deal or complicate your career. She unpacks the double standards of corporate life as a woman navigating high-powered rooms, the blurred lines between charm and objectification, and the internal calculus required to survive (and thrive) in the boys’ club. From fake wedding rings to seven-course dinners and subtle power plays, this is a no-filter look at how sex, sales, and social capital collide and why commanding energy, not chasing it, is the real flex.
Qe’re diving into what it really takes to build wealth, not just financially, but emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically. From regulating our nervous systems to rebranding our entire identities, we unpack the mindset shifts required to go from surviving to thriving.
Claudia shares a surreal moment at a luxury wedding where “cheers to daddy’s money” was not a joke, and Genesis breaks down what it feels like to fund your dreams . We talk therapy vocab, side hustle strategy, building community with cash, and how growing up without wealth shapes our ambition in ways the rich will never understand.
This is for the girlies reprogramming themselves to receive. The ones who want luxury, but also want to feel safe in it. The ones who know that becoming a millionaire starts with saying yes to a new identity.
If you're chasing big dreams, navigating big energy, or healing big trauma, this episode is for you. Claudia breaks down the real differences between therapy and coaching, why the conversation matters more than ever, and how to choose the right support for your next level.
From emotional literacy to identity shifts, she dives into the neuroscience, the industry receipts, and her own journey from survival mode to the C-suite and speaking stages. Whether you're ready to cry with your therapist or collapse timelines with a coach, this episode unpacks the ROI of investing in your mind, your mission, and your money moves.
Because therapy helped her feel safe to shine and coaching taught her how to bet on herself.

In a world where religion is on the decline, this episode of It’s Giving Rich asks the boldest question of all: What do you worship?

Claudia and Genesis unpack their own journeys with faith and finances. We discuss how rituals, prayer, and conviction shaped their success. Because in a world chasing strategy, spiritual code is the real flex.
