224. How I Got Conned Out of $150,000 with Emma Ferris | Financial Feminist Podcast

True crime lovers and financial feminists, buckle up — this one’s a wild ride. In today’s episode, I sit down with Emma Ferris, a renowned stress and resilience coach, podcaster and speaker, who shares the jaw-dropping story of how she was conned out of $150,000 by someone she thought she could trust — her romantic partner. Yep, this story has it all: love bombing, secret identities, fake businesses, and a bank sting operation worthy of a Netflix series. But more importantly, Emma walks us through the emotional aftermath — the shame, the trauma, and the bravery it took to reclaim her money, her voice, and her sense of self.
