Rich Life Plan: Money, Investing, Entrepreneurship & Mindset for Women

If you know you should be doing more with your money but feel overwhelmed or unsure, you are in the right place.

Rich Life Plan podcast is a personal finance podcast for women where money advice isn’t condescending, confusing, or built only for people who already have six figures in the bank. Hosted by entrepreneur and investor Gokce Donat, this podcast helps women make smarter money decisions, build true wealth, and create a life that actually feels like their own:  one goal and one plan at a time.

Each episode is practical, honest, and easy to understand. You’ll hear real conversations, expert interviews, and solo episodes about saving money, paying off debt, investing for beginners, building wealth, financial freedom, career changes, starting over, starting a business, money mindset, confidence, habits, and goal setting.

Some episodes help you make better real-life decisions: how to handle financial stress, how to get out of debt, whether to change careers, how to start over, how to build wealth, and how to make a plan when life feels uncertain.

Other episodes make personal finance simple. You’ll learn about emergency funds, debt payoff, home buying, retirement accounts, 401(k)s, index funds, ETFs, the stock market, crypto, DeFi, private equity, inflation, interest rates, and investing in plain English.

If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself and want money conversations that help you think clearly and trust your decisions, follow Rich Life Plan podcast and start listening.

People don’t just judge you by what you say.  They judge you by how you say it. Your voice can make you sound powerful, clear, and confident OR unsure, distracted, and forgettable. Whether you're in a meeting, giving a presentation, asking for a raise, or simply talking to your family, how you show up vocally can change everything.
In this episode, Dr. Laura Sicola shows you how to unlock the most overlooked leadership skill: your voice. She breaks down how to ask for what you want, how to sound confident when you’re nervous, and what to do if you’re the quiet one in the room. You'll learn how to read the room, shift your delivery to fit the moment, and speak with conviction even in the tough conversations to get what you want.
We’re diving into how to introduce yourself in a way people remember, how to get your message across clearly, and how your voice can either amplify your presence or erase it.  If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wishing you said it differently or felt more in control, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for!

You work hard, you show up, and you’ve earned more but saying it out loud? That’s the scary part!
In this episode, we break down how to ask for a raise (or anything important in life) without the panic, awkwardness, or “I’ll just wait and hope” mindset because hope is not a strategy and when it comes to your career, you always need a plan and the mindset to match.
Inspired by negotiation expert and former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss, we walk through simple, powerful strategies that help you speak up with clarity and confidence no matter how nervous you feel.
You’ll learn:
Why most people ask the wrong way (and how to do it better)
How to shift from “please pick me” energy to calm, professional confidence
What to say when the answer is “not right now”  without shutting down
And how to make the conversation about value, not just money
This isn’t about being pushy!  It’s about being prepared!  So if you’ve been holding back, waiting for someone to notice your work, this episode is your sign to stop waiting.
Let’s get you ready to ask like a boss and get what you deserve!

Fiduciaries are legally required to put you first. They have to give advice that’s best for your goals and not what earns them more. 
Non-fiduciaries (like many brokers) follow something called the suitability standard. That means they can recommend something that’s “good enough” even if there’s a better option out there.
