Financial wellbeing author, speaker, content creator & coffee lover.
Meet Ellie
Bored of the same old financial content written by middle-aged men, and disillusioned with the lack of accessible and up-to-date financial know-how, aimed at modern adults in their twenties and thirties. Ellie founded This Girl Talks Money to tackle the last taboo: money.
As the author of Money Talks: A Lifestyle Guide for Financial Wellbeing and with an online community of over 50,000 people, Ellie provides knowledge, insights & a safe space to help people gain confidence and ownership of their finances.
Alongside building the community of financially empowered women, Ellie has delivered financial wellbeing workshops for companies from Spotify to eBay and partnered with brands from Glamour to American Express, as well as providing financial expertise for Refinery29, Stylist, BBC News & more. From Spring 2024, Ellie is the Invest in You columnist.
The TGTM Journey
-
2019
After years of learning to become financially literate and months searching for the financial education content I wanted to read as a 20-something woman, I started TGTM as a space to have relevant and timely conversations about money and help others feel empowered with their finances.
-
2020
Lockdown hit and more than ever before, money became front of mind for millions of people across the planet. My blog and instagram channel started to attract financial platforms and I started freelance writing about personal finance for a number of well-known brands and publications.
-
2022
Hours of content writing, research and a financial coaching certification later, It turns out that lots of people want to level up their personal finances! TGTM grew to a fully-fledged online community. My mission became crystal-clear: to help millennial women to feel confident and in control of their money without sacrificing their social lives. Behind the scenes, I signed a book deal and started working on Money Talks.

It turns out that lots of people want to level up their personal finances! TGTM reached new audiences and became established as a trusted voice in the personal finance space. Along with incredible work opportunities throughout the year, I became a first-time mother to a little boy in September 2023.
