    We’re already well into the new year by now… And if you're like most women, you've probably got a mix of hope and overwhelm swirling around in your head. New goals and fresh intentions…  Big dreams… You get the gist. But here's the thing… Unless you take the time to reflect on what actually happened last year, you risk repeating the same patterns that kept you stuck. The good news? It's not too late to reset. In this practical episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, I'm walking you through the 6 resets that will help you take control of your finances and your life in 2026.

    Episode 63: From Single Mum Survival Mode To Confidence In Her Retirement

    After 20 years as a single mother… Sonia Piani had very little super, no real investment plan, and a retirement future that looked “pretty bleak.” She knew she needed to do something different. But she didn't know where to go, who to trust, or how to even start. Then something kept popping up on her Facebook feed (that something was me pointing the finger, apparently). She took it as a sign…  … and decided to give the Empower program a go. What happened next completely changed her financial trajectory. In this powerful episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, Sonia shares her raw and emotional transformation story. You'll hear exactly how she went from financial uncertainty to building a diversified portfolio, maximising her super, and even purchasing an investment property…  … all within 12 months. Here's what else you'll discover in this episode: The truth about how much runway you actually need to transform your retirement (it's less than you think) The single investment strategy that Sonia credits for her exponential growth in just 6 months What Sonia changed inside her super that took it from “going nowhere” to finally working for her The real reason so many women struggle to seek financial help, and how Sonia overcame it The unexpected mindset shift that turned a lifelong spender into someone with clear goals and a plan Why learning alongside other women accelerated Sonia's progress faster than going it alone ever could The financial lesson Sonia wishes she'd learned decades ago and now plans to pass on to future generations Sonia is proof that no matter where you’re starting from… … you can still create a retirement that feels secure, confident, and completely on your terms.

    Episode 62: 10 Things To Stop Buying To Save Money (Without Living Like A Monk)

    Have you ever looked at your bank account and wondered... "Where did all the money go?" You're definitely not alone. Even with the best intentions, it's so easy to fall into spending patterns that quietly chip away at your budget and keep you stuck instead of moving toward your financial goals. But here's the thing... I’m not advising you to live like a monk or deprive yourself of everything you enjoy. Rather… I encourage you to align your spending with the life you're actually building, not the fantasy life that social media is trying to sell you. In this practical episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, I'm sharing the 10 spending traps that I've fallen into myself (and seen countless clients fall into) that quietly sabotage your financial progress. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why buying clothes and shoes for your "fantasy life" is one of the biggest money drains (and how to shop for the life you're actually living) The truth about viral fashion trends and why "trending" isn't the same as "timeless" How takeout becomes an expensive default when you're tired, and my simple meal planning strategy to break this habit The subscription box audit that could free up $30-60 per month for your emergency fund or debt reduction Why buying storage solutions before decluttering is just organising clutter (and what to do instead) The guilt gift trap that drains your budget and teaches kids the wrong lesson about love How sales manipulate you into thinking you're saving money when you're actually just spending on things you don't need Why productivity tools won't change your life unless you actually use them consistently My framework for spending according to your values so every dollar moves you closer to your goals Every dollar you spend is a vote for the future life you're building.  The question is… Are your purchases aligned with your values and goals, or are they just noise? When you align your spending with what truly matters to you, staying on track becomes so much easier. Ready to cut the financial noise and focus on what really matters?

    Episode 61: The Hidden Dangers Of Buy Now, Pay Later

    Remember lay-by? If you're from my generation, you'll remember that when you wanted something you couldn't afford, you paid it off bit by bit...  … but you didn't get to take it home until it was fully paid off. These days, we have "buy now, pay later". This gives you instant gratification with the goods in hand immediately. And while it might seem like a harmless middle ground between not having cash and not wanting to use a credit card... The reality is far more concerning than most people realise. Recent research shows that 43% of buy now, pay later users made late payments in the last year alone. Even more alarming…   14% of users are now relying on these loans to pay for groceries and other necessities. In this eye-opening episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the buy now, pay later trap that's ensnaring millions of consumers. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: How buy now, pay later companies are partnering with major retailers like Big W, Kmart, and even DoorDash to make debt more accessible than everWhy these "small" loans are actually being treated as personal loans by lenders and how they're destroying people's borrowing capacityThe psychological tricks these companies use to encourage impulse spending and make debt feel "manageable"7 critical things you must know before using buy now, pay later services (including the hidden impact on your credit score)How to break free from the buy now, pay later cycle and create the life you want without accumulating debtMy proven strategies for budgeting, finding discounts, and focusing on quality over quantityThe 3 financial principles that will help you experience more peace and security around your money Remember, these services might feel different from traditional debt, but make no mistake. You are borrowing money that you'll have to pay back… … often with serious consequences if you don't. Don't let the convenience fool you into a financial trap that could impact your future borrowing capacity and financial freedom.
