Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures.

The stock market is taking a big swing upward right now, and Coinbase investors especially are having a moment. Today, Linda is unpacking why this is happening, including Coinbase's recent inclusion in the S&P 500 index. Linda also talks about the other positive incfluences on the market, including the pause on tariffs (for now). Remember: these gains are great... but they won't last forever. So manage your portfolio responsibly and don't make any sudden moves.
