    S3_E40 Sexually Transmitted Debt; Love Lies and Money

    Today we’re diving into a different kind of STD… one that spreads through love, trust, and silence: sexually transmitted debt. This can look like a romance scam, on the other hand it can also look like the thing we just do in a relationship.  Today I want to bust the money myth that we need to go along with what our significant other is doing in their business, that its somehow our responsibility to support our new partner and how to spot the signs that an STD might be coming your way...I also want to talk about how to support a friend experiencing an STD. Its something I have done wrong but I want to share the learning from that mistake. Silence is expensive. Talking about money can save you thousands of dollars and a whole lot of heartache. In this episode: Melanie’s story – how one woman’s $40,000 loan for her dream man turned into five years of debt and heartbreak. The emotional manipulation playbook – love bombing, gaslighting, guilt trips, and why smart women fall for these traps. The psychology of money & love – how our brains are wired to trust, to hope, and how spotting it can help us change. Why we ignore red flags – even when our friends are shouting at us about it How to protect yourself – from keeping your own bank account, to spotting red flags, to setting boundaries that keep you and your money safe. Key takeaway: Being vulnerable with money doesn’t mean you’re weak  it means you’re human. The solution isn’t to hide all alone with your shame. You can build skills, safety nets, and support systems. Protecting your assets is smart. Saying no is really hard but you are not alone. .

    S3_E39 Stop Being the Bank: Boundaries with Partners, Parents & Kids

    We all think we’re supposed to look after everyone our partners, our parents, our kids, our grandkids. But what happens when that “responsibility” becomes a financial trap? This week I’m diving deep into the messy middle of money and relationships when love, obligation, and trust get tangled up with bank balances. I’ll take you inside real-life stories from workshops and coaching sessions: When a partner’s business collapses and you’re the one propping it up When a sibling might be financially exploiting your ageing parent When kids (or the “Bank of Mum and Dad” culture) expect more than you can afford We’ll talk about difficult conversations, long-term thinking, and why “no” is a complete sentence. Most importantly you’ll walk away with the tools and permission to protect your financial future without blowing up your relationships. 💡 Links and Resources: Join the 30-Day Spend Cleanse: Build boundaries and clarity in just 15 minutes a day Join our free Happy Honeys Facebook Group Follow me on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube @phoebe.blamey Link for Forest Superfoods Thanks to our sponsor, find out more at entourage.com.au

    Australia is on the brink of the largest intergenerational wealth transfer ever. Between $3.8 and $5 trillion will move from boomers to the next generation. Women will inherit 65% of it. In this episode of My Happy Money Journey, Phoebe dives into the realities of inheritance: Why women inherit more, later in life How divorce, blended families, and “the eldest daughter effect” complicate things The sandwich generation’s struggle caring for parents while still supporting kids The rise of the Bank of Mum and Dad and the risks of living inheritances Why open conversations prevent conflict and even elder abuse The tax traps you need to know about (CGT, super, property sales) Why testamentary trusts aren’t just for the rich And how to find the right financial adviser in a shrinking market Phoebe shares stats, stories, and strategies to help women not just receive money but truly own it.

    S3_E37 Laid Off but Lifted Up: Designing Your Next and Best Chapter

    When you’re over 50 and suddenly find yourself without a job, it’s more than a career hiccup it’s a seismic life shift. Add menopause, aging parents, adult kids moving home, or divorce, and it’s a perfect storm. This week, Phoebe dives into the uncomfortable reality: women over 55 in Australia take, on average, 20 months to find new work (seriously) more than double the time of younger candidates. But that “forced pause” can be the catalyst for something far more exciting than you expected. We’ll cover: Why redundancy rates and re-employment times hit women over 50 harder How to run your own “financial first aid” in the days after losing a job The critical role of knowing your burn rate How to plug your money leaks with the free 30-Day Spend Cleanse calendar (linked below) The surprising industries that do value mature female leadership Why AI literacy could be your best career insurance policy Smart, lean ways to start a business when venture capital is not flowing to women Whether you’ve just been laid off or you’re quietly thinking “what if?”, this episode is about building a plan, protecting your finances, and reinventing your work life on your terms.

    S3_E36 Get Some Rich Girl Energy

    It could have been the worst week...but my money systems saved me! This week is all about where the money systems you have really count.  No its not when you look at your bank account, its when life hits the fan and everything falls apart. Because not all rich girl habits are about designer handbags or passive income dreams. Some are about finally having a freezer full of food when you're too sore to cook… or a cash cushion that lets you breathe when you can’t work. In this episode, I break down the real, quiet, powerful habits that keep me calm, prepared, and actually wealthy. After four days in pain from a trapped nerve, I was reminded exactly why these habits matter. We’re talking systems, insurance, boundaries, and joy over convenience. It’s rich girl energy, when I really had none.
