I sat down with Beth of Invest The Rest to chat all things investing - from figuring out what the hell an ETF actually is to building a strategy you can stick with even when the market throws a wobbly.
Beth shares how she started investing during the COVID rebound, why she leaned into diversification early on, and how she learned to trust her plan and not the panic.
And although we recorded this before Trump’s latest tariff drama, it’s honestly proof that solid investing principles still hold up, even when the headlines are screaming.
Whether you’re nervous to get started or questioning if now’s the right time, this one’s a reassuring deep breath. You’ve got this. 💸
Here’s what we cover:
- Investing can feel intimidating — especially when you’re not a finance bro.
- Starting in a market rebound might feel like luck, but staying in is where the magic happens.
- You don’t need to know everything to start. Seriously.
- ETFs = the low-effort, high-impact friend you want in your portfolio.
- Diversification: boring name, brilliant outcome.
- Market dips suck. Being emotionally prepared makes all the difference.
- “Time in the market” always wins over trying to time it.
- Your investment thesis is your anchor when things go wobbly.
- Trust your own research — not TikTok “gurus.”
- You don’t need £1,000 to start. You just need to start.
