Welcome to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
Our relationship with ‘Money’ and 'Money in our Relationships, it’s a big beast. It plays out in so many ways with so many complexities.
If you've ever argued about money in your relationship, I'm pretty confident that if you peeled back enough layers you would find that the arguments are not actually about the money at all. They are about something deeper – your values, your beliefs, your hopes, dreams and your fears.
In this ‘Money Talk’ I share with you how to uncover your personal money story (because this is who we are and what we know about money), how to tackle the money conversation with your partner in a meaningful way and how to pave your own money story going forward and have a new lens on money in your relationship (which will be the key to getting you from where you are to where you want to be).

Welcome back to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
Our relationship with money is often complex and to have a great relationship with it and a sense of success with it, we need to focus on more than just the practical side of managing it.There are psychological and behavioural drivers that play a huge role in our overall financial wellbeing and they have very close links to our mental health, our sense of self-worth and our deep-seeded money story.
We cover some big themes in this episode and explore why knowing something and doing something are worlds apart, how to put the brakes on self-sabotage, why we fall into traps such as ‘retail therapy’, how to tame our inner critic and very importantly how to adopt good habits that stick.

Welcome back to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
We so often talk about what we should do with our money once we've got it, but we also need to pay some attention to the inputs of our financial situation. And for most of us that is derived via our careers (our income!!). We spend a big chunk of our lives working to support ourselves and our lifestyles, so we should be putting our best foot forward to get paid our worth!
Em Pescott from Promotable You joins me in this episode and shares all her wisdom on ditching those limiting beliefs that are holding you back; we talk navigating maternity leave, redundancies, finding balance, career transitions, how to gain clarity and confidence and the importance of articulating your value to get that payrise!

Welcome back to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
There are some frightening statistics floating around about the health of our super – did you know that on average women retire with almost half the superannuation balance of men?
It’s staggering but doesn’t take long to realise why. We get paid less, it's common that we are out the workforce to play a parenting or caregiving role and many of us work part-time. We are simply not participating in the compulsory super environment at the same rate as men, so we are missing out!
Pauline Taylor joins me for this very important conversation and shares her insights, wisdom and tips for closing the gap. Pauline is one of the most passionate advocates for women’s financial literacy and wants women to see that being ‘super smart’ is their pathway to financial freedom.

Welcome back to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
This week we are tackling another very important topic, one that everyone needs to consider and given our last conversation was about estate planning, I thought we'd stick with the worst-case-planning theme. I've invited in a friend, former colleague and senior manager at one of Australia's retail insurance companies, Rachael Harney, to join me in having the life insurance conversation, because let's face it, these tough conversations are better shared!
We tackle why personal insurances are (very) important to consider, the different types of insurances that are available and what they do, how to know if you’ve got a policy that will pay out, and the importance of seeking the assistance of a financial adviser to help you determine the amount of cover you need and how to best structure it.
It's a complex area, so we've included a handout in the link below to break it down a little further.

Welcome to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
This week we are tackling the extremely important topic of estate planning. I really wanted to bring you this conversation early in the Savvy Mumma piece so you can start escalating the task on your financial to-do list.
Death is not a topic we really like to think about or talk about. We all know that we should consider a Will or our estate planning needs, especially when we become parents, but it can be a really difficult and confronting task to complete.
Lucy Percy, from Melbourne law firm Head and Heart Estate Planning, joins me today on the podcast to discuss the elements of an estate plan and how to navigate them. An estate plan extends beyond just creating a Will, there are not only many assets or structures that fall outside the Will, but the process also includes thinking about who and how your children are cared for and giving somebody power to make decisions in the event you are incapacitated.
If this task has been on your to-do list, this episode is a must listen!

Welcome to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
Financial Advisers (me being one) talk to people commonly about how to invest their money - but how do you get money to invest in the first place? It's by simply having money left over after spending each pay check. Sounds simple doesn't it?
But it's where the majority of us fall down. We are not taught how to manage our money. So this week I'm accepting the task of taking you back to basics and giving you my tops tips on the everyday management of your money.
And yep, we cover the very dirty B word (budget) in detail and I'm going to change your view on it. I also answer your common questions on how to navigate a budget (and the money conversation) in your relationship, the place for credit cards and how to make a budget work with irregular income.
You got this!!!

“Women don’t talk about money as money, but we do think about what we can do and what we want for our future. We certainly don’t want to be trapped doing something we don’t love or in an environment that doesn’t make us happy”

In our chat, we tackle the taboo of money and Julia shares her key lessons and wisdom, covering the basics of managing your money, protecting your money, the importance of being interested in superannuation and what financial freedom is really all about.
Julia is passionate about making the topic of money more freely talked about and she has a real knack for communicating in way that takes the complexity and the jargon out of it.

Welcome to the Savvy Mumma podcast, starting a money conversation relevant for Mums who are busy juggling life, careers and households.
There is way more to the KonMari method than neatly folding clothes and after listening to this episode with Sally Flower you will have a greater appreciation for what ‘sparking joy’ and decluttering is all about! It’s more to do with mindset, gaining clarity on how you want to live your life and what’s important to you which leads ultimately to you being more conscious and intentional with the things you do and don’t need.
And where does this fit with the money conversation you ask? You will have the power to say no to unnecessary consumerism and your bank account will be thanking you!
And for any side hustlers out there, Sally’s personal story in moving from corporate life and side hustling to be fully fledged in her business is inspiring in itself!
