The Brown Ambition Podcast helps you unapologetically build wealth by saving, investing and making smart career choices — on your own d@mn terms! New episodes Wednesdays and Fridays.

Brown Ambition

In our first episode, we explain what 'Brown Ambition' is all about and tackle the question we've both been asking ourselves — when the hell is the right time to have a kid, anyway? Mandi explains what "white feminism" is all about, Tiffany calls for the end of the "Perm v. Natural" debate and both of us share our wins of the week. As if that wasn't enough, Mandi offers 4 key tips to save on rent and Tiffany serves up a key strategy for new business owners.

Ep. 5 (BONUS): Brown girl magic at the Emmy's

You may know her as the Money Coach, but we call her our Fairy Money Godmother — the incomparable Lynette Khalfani-Cox is our first-ever BA podcast guest! Lynnette is a personal finance expert, television and radio personality, and the author of 12 books (Yes. 12.) including the New York Times bestseller "Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom." (Just in case you doubt her street cred, just know that Lynnette paid off $100,000 of credit card debt in 3 years!) She's an inspiration and she joins us to talk about how she made the leap from a 9-to-5 lifestyle to mega success as an entrepreneur. She also gets real about working side by side with her husband, Earl, and keeping their relationship healthy while managing their business. Don't forget we are doing an iTunes giveaway to a lucky reviewer! Leave a review and email us at brownambitionpodcast@gmail.com with a screenshot. We've got some great prizes!

Ep. 11 — Seeking older women (not in a weird way)

Student loan repayments are officially back, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just plain confused, you’re not alone. This week on Brown Ambition, we’re diving deep into the chaos with two of our favorite money minds: Yanely Espinal, author of Mind Your Money, and Chris Browning from Popcorn Finance.
 
We break down what’s really going on inside the federal student loan system from glitchy portals to a laundry list of repayment plans and why so many borrowers are left in the dark. 
 
Here’s what we’re unpacking:
 
-🔍 How to spot and avoid shady loan forgiveness scams
 
- 💸 What income-driven repayment plans actually mean for your wallet
 
- 🧩 Why the student loan simulator on studentaid.gov should be your new best friend
 
- 🧾 The IRS confusion that’s messing with people’s payment plans
 
- 💬 The power of community when you’re navigating money decisions solo
 
 
 
Whether you're just restarting payments or knee-deep in the forgiveness process, this episode is packed with tips, real talk, and the support you need to take back control of your student loans.
