Today I'm joined by a financial superstar and all round fashion-icon, Melissa Browne. Mel was a guest in my very first season and I wanted to bring her back to talk about our topic of the moment - reinvention. Mel is an award-winning, ex-accountant and ex-financial advisor who had her own successful business for almost 20 years. She has written 4 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances. So, she has the theory. But she also has the life experience. Mel has a fascinating and yet, unexpected story as she came back from being completely broke in her early thirties. After her divorce, she gave all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted), and then completely reinvented her life, again, where she is now a multi-millionaire. She gained her financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself and now she teaches others how to do this too. Today, Mel is a financial educator who believes that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve.Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7  years.Mel is not only whip smart, but hilarious and super entertaining - so if you don't already follow her online, you must as you'll not only learn a bunch, you'll laugh out loud from her (& Lawsie, her work wife's) daily missives. She's a great mate of mine & I'm delighted to sit down with her and talk on this wonderful topic of ‘reinvention'....In this conversation, Mel Browne shares her journey of reinvention, discussing the various personal and professional transformations she has undergone. She reflects on the catalysts for change in her life, including her divorce and the realization of her true passions. Mel emphasises the importance of investing in oneself, the power of implementation, and the necessity of embracing failure as a part of growth. Her insights provide valuable lessons for women in business and anyone looking to transform their lives. In this conversation, Mel Browne and Michelle discuss the challenges women face with perfectionism, the benefits of embracing a portfolio career, and the importance of financial literacy. They explore how testing ideas can lead to successful reinvention without the need to quit one's job. Mel shares her journey in creating a financial literacy course aimed at empowering women to take control of their finances and encourages listeners to dare to be wealthy.Key Resources from Mel are here;-https://www.melissabrowne.com.au/onequestion You can find Mel on insta at @melbrowne.money and online at www.melissabrowne.com.auHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

What’s your ‘money story’? Are you someone who makes rash decisions with dollars? Will future-you thank you for how you manage your moolah now? Does talking about spending and saving fill you with dread? Are you even considering not listening to this FORTY ep. because it goes deep with all of this?! (Trust us, it’s an absolute ripper.) Here's the thing; we’re grown-ups and it’s no longer cute to not be in control of your dollars and cents [see also: SENSE], and that’s where Mel Browne comes in. When Mel got divorced at 33, she was left with nothing/zilch/nada after making a retaliatory, highly emotional decision with her divorce proceedings. Oops. And here’s a surprise: Mel was an accountant! She had to start ALL. OVER. AGAIN. Fast forward 15 years, and the self-confessed ‘Western suburbs bogan’ is now a multi-millionaire who re-wrote her own money story. This is a must listen. So, what happens when you take back control? We find out in FORTY.

Nowadays she's a best-selling author, financial educator, business strategist & mentor and entrepreneur who is passionate about women particularly also live a life by design not default.    Melissa also uses her unique, sometimes irreverent but always inspiring voice to speak and write about money, financial awareness, habits, strategy, business and occosaionally shoes. She has written three books, the illustrated business book More Money for Shoes, the coffee table book of financial fairy tales, Fabulous but Broke and the global best-seller Unf*uck your Finances. Her next book, Budgets Don't Work (but this does) will be released in July 2020 and dives further into understanding your Money Story, Money Environment, and Money Type, and developing great financial habits that work for your unique Financial Phenotype.  Mel is CEO of the financial education business for women who want to financially grow up, The Money Barre, Director of Business at the long-day Early Learning Communities, Thinkers inq, and up unti she sold the business for seven figures in 2019, she was the CEO of the award-winning accounting and advisory firm A&TA (Accounting & Taxation Advantage).

[CN/TW: sexual assault and rape] Melissa Browne is an author, financial advisor, speaker and financial wellness advocate who first joined me on the podcast way back in episode 18 in early 2017. And now she’s back with a vulnerable new book and for a very personal and brave conversation. Mel has just published a new book - her fourth book - called “Budgets Don’t Work (But This Does)”. It’s the culmination of her career first as an accountant and now a financial advisor.  Her philosophy; just like diets and one-size-fits-all eating plans or training programs don’t work, budgets don’t work either. So Mel has developed a process that helps you custom design a financial plan, habits and tactics that draw on your natural strengths (while minimising the impact of your weakness). Simply genius! What makes this book so powerful is Mel’s vulnerability around her history, her story and how it has shaped her financial decision making over the years. From the outside looking in, Mel appeared to have it all. Yet as she reveals in this conversation, for years Mel was stuck in a ‘sabotage loop’ in her business and that she carried a victim mentality and story that she wasn’t “good enough” that caused her to work so hard she ultimately experienced burnout and a breakdown in 2017. So she initially started working with a coach to help her navigate her ’sabotage loop’ in her business. But she quickly realised she would also need to unpack the trauma she’s experienced and the way it and the stories she’s carried with her have shaped her personal life as well.  This is Mel reclaiming her story, finding her voice & rewriting a new ending for her story Get the full show notes for the episode here. — Visit the Sparta Chicks Radio website here  Follow Sparta Chicks Radio on Facebook: facebook.com/SpartaChicks  Follow Mel on Instagram: @moremoneyforshoes

What do finances and low tox living have to do with each other? A lot as we explored the first time the brilliant Melissa Browne was on the show (show #90).

The coronavirus pandemic has not impacted all families equally. Some families will be living as they always have while others will be battening down the hatches as they try to recover from job losses or hours cut. There is still a lot of uncertainty around what will happen come September when the Job Keeper financial support package comes to an end. Melissa Browne is a financial advisor and author of Budgets Don't Work, But This Does. Melissa talks about how we can navigate uncertain times, and what to expect when Job Keeper ends.

Melissa Browne first joined me on the podcast way back in early 2017 and then spoke at our conference, Sparta Chicks Unleashed, in 2018. And now she’s back with a vulnerable new book and for a very personal and brave conversation. Mel has just published a new book - her fourth book - called “Budgets Don’t Work (But This Does)”. It’s the culmination of her career first as an accountant and now a financial advisor. Her philosophy; just like diets and one-size-fits-all eating plans or training programs don’t work, budgets don’t work either. So Mel has developed a process that helps you discover (what she calls) your “Financial Phenotype”. It’s the combination of your Money Stories, your Money Environment and your Money Type. Knowing these things about yourself then allows you to custom design your own financial plan, habits and tactics that draw on your natural strengths (while minimising the impact of your weakness). Simply genius! What makes this book so powerful is Mel’s vulnerability around her history and her story and how it has shaped her financial decision making over the years. From the outside looking in, Mel appeared to have it all.  Yet as she reveals in this conversation, for years Mel was stuck in a ‘sabotage loop’ in her business and that she carried a victim mentality and story that she wasn’t “good enough” that caused her to work so hard she ultimately experienced burnout and a breakdown in 2017. So she initially started working with a coach to help her navigate her ’sabotage loop’ in her business. However, Mel quickly realised she would also need to unpack the trauma she’s experienced and the way it and the stories she’s carried with her have shaped her personal life as well.

When it comes to dividing assets, things can get messy. But, as finance expert Melissa Browne tells Mandy, they don't have to. The key is to try and remove your emotional attachment to the things you and your partner shared. A bit like Marie Kondo-ing your marital life. But how do you do it? And what if you really want that dining room table? Or the house? Today's episode is here to help you navigate the murky waters of dividing up the stuff you accumulate after a lifetime (or a short time) together.

Money. Let's talk about it. We think we should talk about this more often. Stace shares a massive win - she's just paid off a huge business loan! Woot. How did she do this? She shares her loan repayment strategy. Jane has recently taken inspiration from Melissa Browne's book; Unf*&$ Your Finances. She took the financial detox as suggested in the book and she shares how it helped to increase her mindfulness with money.  Melissa's book also prompts you to explore your personal values around money, and how these values could be affecting your money management today. An a-ha moment right there! Both Jane and Stace reveal their achilles heel of indulgence in business; professional development (and tutus). This episode is a raw, revealing and honest episode about something that affects us so fundamentally in life. And while we don't want to just be all abput the money, we need to be all over the management of it if we want to be around in the future.

In this episode of Uncensored Money, the microphone is handed across to Lauren, my co-founder at the Money Barre to interview me about my finances, my money story, my business mistakes, my financial fears and regrets and so much more. Why? Well, I believe you can't say you want to share money stories and better conversations about money and then hide behind the microphone so it was my turn to be vulnerable and share my money history and my financial plans. Who am I for anyone new? I own three businesses - A&TA, an award winning accounting firm, The Money Barre, a financial planning firm for Gen X & Gen Y and Thinkers.inq, a long day preschool built on play with purpose. I've written three books, More Money for Shoes, Fabulous but Broke and Unf*ck your Finances and write a regular column on finance for the Sydney Morning Herald/ The Melbourne Age as well as being a regular money commentator in the media. I'm a financial wellness advocate that is particularly passionate about working with Gen X and Gen Y women. We talk about my money stories, multiple streams of income, business failures, why I wrote three books and have multiple businesses, my financial fears, what I did right and what I did wrong in my 20s and 30s, what I'm working towards now and so much more.

Welcome to La Trobe University's Clever Conversations. This episode of our Bold Thinking series will focus on the War on Youth, the current challenges facing Millennials and whether larger social, technical and economic forces have made things harder for young people today. What are the answers and what can young people do to try to help themselves find secure employment and affordable housing? Our panelists will discuss whether these challenges have always been there throughout the ages and if other generations really understand what it’s like for young people in the age of disruption and the gig economy. You'll hear from our panelists: Dr Sara James, who is a cultural sociologist and a lecturer in La Trobe’s Department of Social Inquiry. Also, David de Garis who is a La Trobe alumnus and Director Economics and Markets for National Australia Bank. Natalie O’Brien, who is Chief of Staff at social change organisation GetUp!

The conversation is hosted by journalist, writer and presenter Francis Leach.

There are people you meet who you’re instantly on the same vibration as. One of those people for me is Tammi Kirkness. Past show guest Melissa Browne introduced us because Tammi was a fan of the toxin lowering aspect to Low tox Life and wanted to include that in her E course on High Functioning Anxiety and factors to address on the road to quietening it. We shared mouldy apartment stories and our outlook on healing and voila - the rest is history and I HAD to have her on the show. In today’s chat we discuss high functioning anxiety,  how it differs from generalised anxiety, lifestyle factors that contribute to HFA, strategies to bust it (perfectionist or imposter syndrome anyone?); we have a blissful and impromptu meditative couple of minutes that we can refocus into positive energy and have negative energy bounce off us… We even discuss energetic healing and the fact that she’s a clairvoyant. It’s a chat with many twists, turns and practical take homes to live a life of strength and positivity - even if you crumble sometimes. WE ALL DO! The show notes, show supporter offer and Tammi’s wonderful course can all be found in the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast - Enjoy the show! Alexx x

For a while now I’ve been trying to put into words exactly why I feel that money, and a healthy and smart relationship with it is part of leading a low tox life. Today on the show, this happens. The 4 principal aspects that define a Low Tox Life are food, body, home and mind. Stress is a part of the mind and if we’re stressed for prolonged periods of time, it negatively impacts our body and mind. A huge contributor to many people’s stress? Money. And so, there’s the link and why I wanted to bring my accountant, and all round money conversation superstar Melissa Browne into it. Melissa’s been voted one of the Top 100 women of Influence by the financial review and she’s determined to take the taboo out of money and get us all TALKING. I hope you enjoy the show. Shownotes and our generous sponsor offer can be found at www.lowtoxlife.com/podcast  

If there ever was a topic that could equally excite, distress, motivate and polarize it would this one – MONEY. My guest is Melissa Browne is a woman who has devoted her entire career to the financial world – namely as an accountant, then expanding to invest in other enterprises like a new preschool and her latest venture The Money Barre.  She is a well-known author for several memorably titled books such as ‘Fabulous but Broke' and her latest which (close your ears kids) is called ‘Unf*ck your finances'. As a seasoned speaker and media columnist, Melissa calls it like she sees it when it comes to how we relate to money so it's no surprise she was the first person I thought to get on the podcast to discuss ‘The Politics of Money.' In this show you can learn: How can we get better at the idea of financial literacy? How do you know if you are being sold products and plans you don't need or can't afford? What rules around money do you think we can adopt to enjoy a better retirement – whatever that means for you - but also not feel like we are missing out on life?

Melissa Browne’s website describes her as an introverted, socially awkward, shoe-loving accountant. All of those things might or are true. But there is so much more to Mel and her story. The CEO or co-founder of 3 business, Mel is also an author, speaker, expert on money and finance who regularly appears on TV and is on a mission to empower women and girls to find their voice and become both business and financially savvy. However Mel is also someone who has (to use her words) overcome a lot of $hit along the way and has started to share some of it, and her journey, in public. In this conversation, we discuss defying our family’s expectations, fear and self-doubt, the Imposter Complex and why it’s important for women to be financially savvy.

Money, I was told as a child, is impolite dinner conversation.  That doesn't stop us from talking about it with our guest, Melissa Browne, author of “More Money for Shoes” and “Fabulous, But Broke”.  We all have a relationship with money.  Some of us have a healthy one, most of us don't.  Melissa breaks down the whole concept of seeing money as a relationship and how, if we want to get our perspective right, we just might need to break up with it for a while.  Well, a month actually.  She breaks down the tips on how to have a bit of a healthy money detox to get us on track to get our money working for us and not just having us working for it. We also catch up with a mum who's had to do some fast learning in the realm of allergies.  Mother of seven year old twins, Melanie Funk's boys were diagnosed with severe allergies and eczema at just one year old.  As we catch up, you'll hear that the list of things they aren't allergic to is probably smaller.  Now, Melanie is setting up a group called “Hands To Hold”.  Starting on the Gold Coast and set to go national, Hands to Hold will provide practical and emotional support to families experiencing the overwhelming feelings of isolation that severe allergies and eczema bring.
