I got to go to Cannes this summer. I loved it and the vibes were incredible. What is not incredible is using an ATM in France. The fees can eat you alive. But sometimes you just need euros in hand to tip or split the bill. When traveling, the card you use can cost or save you money. That's why I love the Chime card with Chime Prime. Not only does it not charge foreign transaction fees, it will even reimburse me for foreign ATM fees, up to two times a month. Chime is changing the way people bank. They offer the most rewarding fee-free banking. Plus, you get premium travel perks like airport lounge access and 24-7 travel concierge included with your Chime card. Chime is not just smarter banking, it is the most rewarding way to bank. Join the millions who are already banking fee-free today. Head to chime.com/mnn.

My husband and I recently went to Las Vegas. We walked by the Bellagio fountains at night and had drinks at a bar where they like to set everything on fire. The whole trip was over the top, but my favorite part was seeing it all in person with my favorite man on earth. But even though we were in Vegas, you know, I'm not one to gamble. It's the opposite. Instead of losing money on vacation, I like to come out ahead. That's why I love listing our home on Airbnb when we travel. Unlike Vegas, it's a win-win.
While I get to travel and explore new places, someone else can stay in my home and experience everything my area has to offer. It doesn't hurt that it also puts a little more cash in my pocket. What makes that idea feel much more manageable now is the co-host network. You can connect with a local co-host who has hosting experience and can help take care of the important details. A co-host can help create your listing, manage reservations, message guests, and make sure everything runs smoothly for guests during their stay. Honestly, it just feels like a practical way to make better use of our space, while also bringing in a little extra cash from time to time. If you're interested in hosting and want help getting started, find a co-host at airbnb.com/host.

SoFi is an all-in-one finance app helping members save, spend, borrow, invest, and protect their money so they can reach all their ambitions. I have been super impressed by SoFi for years now, and honestly, I have the receipts. I had their CEO, Anthony Anoto, on the podcast three years ago just because I'm a genuine fan. I love the investing capability. On SoFi, you can trade stocks and ETFs, invest in IPOs at IPO prices with SoFi securities, or tri-robo investing offered through SoFi Wealth, all in the SoFi app. And I can attest to this, they really care about members. From all the educational resources in the app and in their newsletter, to the exclusive access their members get to premium events. Hello, SoFi Stadium.

After I had my daughter, I was struggling with postpartum depression, and yeah, we felt very distant. And then I caught him in a lie, and the next day, I'm getting bombarded with phone calls, texts, cousins, and my nanny's nephew. Are you okay? Oh my God. And I'm like, what is going on?
