She was known around the world for her extreme plastic surgeries and headline-grabbing persona—but Lolo Ferrari was far more complex than the tabloid caricature she became. Born Eve Valois, she rose from a troubled childhood in France to international fame as an adult performer, singer, and TV personality. Behind the exaggerated image and surreal stardom, however, was a woman struggling with deep emotional pain, manipulation, and exploitation. In this episode, we dive into the tragic and fascinating life of Lolo Ferrari—how a quest for identity and love turned into a public spectacle, the controlling influence of her husband and manager, and the mystery surrounding her untimely death. Was she a victim of fame, or did she reclaim her power in her own extreme way? Join us as we unravel the story behind the silicone, the scandal, and the sorrow.

Today, women live longer than men, but retire with far less money. And despite all the progress we've made, Australia's gender wealth gap remains stubbornly wide. Today I'm joined by Sarah Megginson, money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder, to unpack the insights from their 2025 State of Women's Wealth Report. We explore why women continue to fall behind financially, what drives the wealth gap beyond pay inequality, and most importantly, what women (and men) can do about it. You might be thinking, "Well, I'm not a woman — why does this affect me?" I think you really should listen to today's show because financial security isn't just about individuals. It's about families. Communities. Generations. When women build wealth, everyone benefits: More kids grow up in financially secure homes. More wealth gets reinvested into our economy. More retirees live independently, not dependent on government handouts. This is all about building a stronger, fairer, wealthier Australia.   Takeaways  ·         Women hold 40% less net wealth than men. ·         The gender pay gap begins in primary school. ·         Women are more likely to work part-time, affecting their superannuation. ·         Education is crucial for financial empowerment. ·         Cultural shifts are changing financial goals for younger generations. ·         The sandwich generation faces unique financial challenges. ·         Women over 50 are at a higher risk of homelessness. ·         Negotiating pay remains a hurdle for women. ·         Small financial steps can lead to significant changes. ·         Parents play a vital role in shaping children's financial attitudes.   Chapters  00:00 Introduction to Women's Wealth Report 04:36 Understanding the Gender Wealth Gap 07:28 The Impact of Career Breaks on Women's Finances 13:04 The Role of Parenting in Financial Education 18:46 The Sandwich Generation: Balancing Care and Career 21:25 Risk of Homelessness for Women Over 50 24:14 Taking Control of Your Financial Future 29:29 Empowering Women to Manage Money   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio – in your spare time. ·         Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2025 and beyond.   Finder's State of Women's Wealth Report https://www.finder.com.au/insights/state-of-womens-wealth-report-2025  Sarah Megginson - money expert and Head of Editorial at Finder https://www.finder.com.au/author/sarahmegginson  Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here    Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au

SILVIA RESNIK had a completely life-altering experience after a simple vacation to Zanzibar became the unexpected, seismic turning point in her life. Amidst the turquoise waters and red earth of East Africa, she met the Maasai - and everything changed. She left behind a "perfect" yet unfulfilling life in Austria and began living among the Maasai, immersing in their culture, wisdom and challenges. She fuses ancient tribal insight with powerful modern coaching to guide women back to their truth. She empowers audiences to live aligned, make soul-led decisions, and embrace authentic freedom. Her voice also champions the movement to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), working directly with Maasai leaders toward lasting change.

It takes a team—your project team, your support system, your people.”  “Never give up.  There's always a different path. “Every time I get into a difficult place, I remember that conversation with my dad… because that was devastating to me. But it shaped how I handle things. I never give up—I just might have to find a different way to do it.” “If you come in saying, ‘Well, I don't know how we're going to get this done,' everyone starts believing that it can't be done. But when you're positive, people start believing in themselves.” “I wasn't going to give up. I was just going to redo it.” (—on disassembling and rebuilding a crib solo. Grit in action!) “You have to have passion in what you're doing. If you don't enjoy it, you might not be as positive—and you might not be as persistent—because you don't like what you're doing.” “I love going onto those campuses... I like seeing all this enthusiasm for what their next steps are. That, to me, is really exciting. It brings me back to being that student and thinking about all the things that I could accomplish.”
