What really happens after a year of not buying clothes? [REPLAY]
This week I'm hitting replay on an episode from my The Wardrobe Project mini series last year! The year I chose not to buy clothes was one of the most transformative things I ever did for my confidence and my finances, and I'm telling all in this episode. Welcome back to episode 3 of The Wardrobe Project mini series! For our final episode I'm talking about the other side of the coin: what happens when you complete a year long experiment to not buy a single item of clothing? How does it feel? Did anything change? And what is life like on the other side of an obsession with clothes? I tell all…

5 things I did with my finances 5 years ago that are paying off now
In this episode, I reflect on five things I did around five years ago that are paying off in a big way now — from scrappy investing beginnings to mindset shifts that changed everything. It's a reminder that small, imperfect actions compound over time in ways you simply can't see when you're in the thick of it. Key takeaways: Starting to invest with just $5 a week can grow into something significant — consistency beats waiting for the "perfect" moment Paying off debt isn't just about clearing a balance; it builds the behavioural habits that fund every financial goal that comes…

Hot girls have their insurances sorted, with Trish Gregory
In this episode I'm joined by Trish Gregory from our new podcast partner, Hayes & Co, to talk all things personal insurances. Insurance is one of the less sexy sides of personal finance, but it can actually have a profound impact on your financial future. In this episode we talk about the role of insurance in building your financial confidence, the types of insurance you can get and what it can offer, and how to take insurance matters out of the too hard basket.

The importance of financial literacy before homeownership: Reddit Rants, with Tash Etschmann
In this episode I'm joined again by Tash Etschmann from Tash Invests to dissect a particularly eye opening mortgage misconception I found on Reddit. A true lesson in why financial literacy and mortgage education should be a duty of care from lenders to would-be mortgage holders, we unpack how one first home buyer thought they were going to be making repayments at over 90% of their take home pay after a miscalculation blunder.

Why having a "financial compass" will set you up for success
In this episode, I explore how replacing a rigid financial map with a values-driven compass can transform the way you manage money. Rather than chasing fixed numbers and linear plans, I share why understanding your deeper values leads to better financial decisions — especially in a world where careers, costs, and life circumstances are constantly shifting. Key takeaways: Why rigid financial plans fail to account for real life changes The difference between a financial "map" vs. a financial "compass" How your values — not numbers — should guide your money decisions The three…

How do we balance lifestyle creep with still enjoying our money? With Tash Etschmann
In this episode I'm joined by Tash Etschmann of Tash Invests to discuss the concept of lifestyle creep versus values-based spending, and how we keep on top of small expenses adding up while still enjoying our money and experiencing life now. Inspired by my recent $21 spend on coffee and hash browns on hotel room service, we unpack value versus values, the psychological concept of category limits, simplifying financial decisions with money rules, and keeping spending runways in check before they derail your progress.

Why the “pointless phase” is a critical part of any goal
In this episode I'm talking about a VERY important part of any goal: the pointless phase (don't worry, I'll explain). Nobody ever speaks about this aspect of personal finance, and often the advice we hear is coming from people on the other side of that struggle, leaving us psychologically disconnected from what we're being told. When we learn to recognise the pointless phase when we're in it, we can stay the course, get over the pointless hump, and finally start seeing progress.

Why did trying become uncool?
There's a creeping cultural narrative that ambition is cringe, having goals is naïve, and if you're still trying to get ahead financially or professionally, you've somehow missed the memo that everything is pointless. And I get it. The disillusionment is real and it's earned. The system has genuine problems. But somewhere along the way, valid critique of broken structures has quietly morphed into a collective permission slip to abandon personal growth altogether. In this episode I'm unpacking that shift, questioning whether it's actually serving us, and making the case that you're still…

The power of financial self awareness
Money is one of the last areas where we resist turning inward — and it's costing us. In this episode, I'm digging into why financial self-awareness is the missing piece for so many of us who feel stuck with money. We talk about pop psychology, the shame avoidance cycle, and why our brains are wired to work against us financially. The human brain isn't rational, and pretending money is just maths is exactly why so many of us can't get the outcomes we want. It's time to apply the same curiosity we bring to our relationships and our habits to our finances. Key takeaways: Money is deeply…

A deep dive into the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and Australian Government Help to Buy Scheme
The Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme and the Australian Government Help to Buy Scheme are two different pathways to homeownership for Australians – but do you know the difference between the two? If you're buying a home in the near future, these schemes may be relevant to you, and may support or shift the way you approach home buying. I've deep dived into both schemes, including the benefits, risks and considerations, and who they're best suited to, so you can feel more informed. PLUS I took your questions right from your fingertips to the top to get the answers. Highlights: The…

Why shifting from an "I can't because..." mindset to an "I can because..." mindset will change your finances immediately
A rainbow literally appeared while I was speaking to you in this episode and if that's not a sign to open your mind up to all the ways you maybe CAN do the thing your brain is telling you you can't, I don't know what is. In this episode I take you through a simple mindset shift that'll take you from fixed, restrictive thinking to a mindset of possibility and opportunity – and you'll barely recognise your finances once you try it.

How to create money rules to simplify your financial mental load
Ever feel like your brain is constantly running a background tab called "am I spending this right?" This episode is all about quieting that noise. Money rules can help you simplify your financial decisions and allow money to be a resource in your life. Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, your 'personal policies' let you pre-decide, so your future self doesn't have to. In this episode, we break down what money rules are, why they work (hint: systems always beat willpower), and how to build your own using a simple three-part framework.

How to manage your money and life like a business: build your financial EQ
In this episode I'm talking about a piece of advice that has come up over and over again in conversations about money in recent months, which is this: manage your money and your life like its a business and you're in charge. Developing emotional intelligence around your money is a critical part of being good with money – but we're not taught how to do it. Starting with this business-style approach to managing your money helps you see it like a tool, rather than an extension of your identity or a representation of your worth. Highlights: Treating your life like a business to give you…
