Welcome back to Ask Hilary, where we tackle real-life money questions from women navigating change. Because if there’s one constant in our financial lives, it’s change.
We grow. We move. We change careers, enter new relationships, end others, care for family, and—somewhere in the middle of all that—we try to build a financial life that actually supports the life we want.
But those transitions don’t come with a playbook. And they often raise hard, vulnerable questions like:
- What if I’m just getting started with saving and feel hopelessly behind?
- What happens when the money dynamics in my relationship start to feel… off?
- How do I care for someone I love without compromising my own security
Today, we’re exploring what happens when life shifts—and your financial plan needs to catch up. Whether you're entering your 30s, becoming the breadwinner, or wrestling with family responsibilities, this episode will help you make empowered, values-aligned decisions with your money.
Remember: It’s never too late to make things better.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:
- 02:21 Is it too late to start saving and building wealth at 35?
- 09:37 What do I do when I’m the breadwinner but feel less in control of my money?
- 15:39 How can I support my mom financially without compromising my own future?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
