Podcasts about money diaries

This week's Money Diary is proof that earning more money doesn't automatically make you feel secure. Growing up, she was constantly worried about money. Not because her family was struggling, but because she'd picked up on snippets of conversations and quietly convinced herself there was never enough. So she did what a lot of us do. She worked hard. Really hard. She got her first job at 14, worked multiple jobs through uni, saved obsessively and thought financial security would come from earning more. But after graduating and looking closely at her spending for the first time, she realised something surprising: the problem wasn't how much she earned. It was how little attention she was paying to where it was going. Fast forward to today and she's investing in ETFs, saving around $2,000 a week, planning to buy her first property, and building wealth with far more confidence than she ever thought possible. This conversation is about scarcity mindset, the stories we inherit about money, and what happens when you finally stop being scared of it.

A little heads up before you press play: this episode contains conversations about financial abuse and coercive control. It’s an incredibly important conversation, but please look after yourself while listening. This week’s Money Diary is raw in a way I don’t think I was fully prepared for. At 21, she fell in love with an older man and slowly built a life around him. Over time, she gave up uni, stopped working, helped raise his children, and handed over control of her finances without really realising how much of herself she was losing in the process. What started as “he’s just better with money” slowly became something much darker. By the end of the relationship, she was working unpaid for his business, questioning her own worth constantly, and living in a situation so controlling that she had her own fridge in the garage because she’d been made to feel like a burden. And still… she didn’t call it financial abuse at the time. After 14 years, one moment finally pushed her to leave. She packed up her dog, moved back in with her parents, got a new job, started learning about money for herself, and began rebuilding from scratch. Now she has a growing investment portfolio, a $50k house deposit, and something even bigger than that: independence. This conversation is heartbreaking, hopeful and honestly incredibly important. Because financial abuse rarely starts with one giant red flag. Most of the time, it happens slowly… until one day you realise you don’t recognise yourself anymore.

This week’s Money Diary is one of those “wait… this is actually so relatable” conversations. She’s a newly admitted lawyer who spent years living paycheck to paycheck while studying, prioritising travel over investing and genuinely having no idea what an ETF even was. Fast forward a few years and life suddenly got very expensive, very quickly. An apartment. A wedding. A honeymoon. Another holiday. A puppy. Moving costs. Furniture. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, she and her husband had the slightly nauseating realisation that they’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year… without really stopping to think about where any of it was actually going. And honestly? I think a lot of people will see themselves in this one. We talk about the pressure to buy property because everyone else is doing it, the reality of owning an apartment with brutal body corporate fees, lifestyle creep, ADHD hyper-fixation becoming an unexpected budgeting superpower, and what happened when she finally sat down and looked at her finances properly. Now she’s investing 40% of her income, building a portfolio she actually understands, and rethinking what financial security is supposed to look like in the first place. This one feels a little bit like a group chat with your financially self-aware friends. Slightly chaotic. Slightly confronting. But in the best way.

Have you ever thought, “maybe I’ve missed my chance.” This weeks diarist started uni three separate times and dropped out every single one. Worked 50-hour weeks in retail management for minimum wage. Genuinely believed that without a degree, there was a limit to what she’d ever earn or achieve. Relatable. Then life happened. A baby. A relocation. A partner changing careers. Another baby. A mortgage. A massive amount of imposter syndrome. But somewhere in the middle of all of that, she met a leader who saw something in her before she could fully see it herself… and everything started to shift. Now she’s 33, earning $140k in HR with no degree, investing for the first time, raising two kids, navigating a very real mortgage, and trying to work out how anyone affords dining chairs without having a small emotional breakdown. This conversation felt really honest. Not in a “perfect with money” way. More in a “figuring it out while life is happening” kind of way.

You know when you meet someone younger than you and think… oh. You’re doing money better than I was. That’s this week’s Money Diary. She’s 21, still at uni, working multiple jobs and quietly building a six-figure portfolio. Not loudly, not perfectly… just consistently. Working in luxury retail, she’s watching people her age spend entire paychecks while she’s investing hers instead. Which, honestly, says a lot. This one isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting early, thinking differently, and what that can actually turn into. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

She went from owing money to everyone… to building her dream home. This week’s Money Diary is a story about starting over. After having kids and going through a separation, she found herself navigating life as a single mum on one income, with the kind of financial pressure that leaves no room for error. But instead of staying stuck, she rebuilt. New mindset, new boundaries, and a completely different approach to money and relationships. Now she’s earning six figures in sales, has a deposit ready, and is about to start building her home. We get into what actually changed, how she approached money the second time around, and why being honest about finances early on made all the difference. It’s a reminder that your money story isn’t fixed… even if it feels like it is. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

This week’s Money Diary is from a 31-year-old nurse who fell pregnant at 30… while single and working 70-hour weeks. At the time, money wasn’t the problem. She was earning well, picking up shifts, saying yes to everything and just getting on with life. But there wasn’t much structure behind it. It was busy, but not necessarily intentional. And then everything shifted. Not because she didn’t have enough, but because she suddenly had a reason to think about money differently. To slow down, to plan, and to actually build something that could support her and her child. This episode isn’t about starting from scratch. It’s about taking what you already have and learning how to use it properly. It’s about stepping into a new version of your life, ready or not, and figuring it out as you go. It’s honest, it’s a little bit messy, and it’s a really powerful reminder that you don’t need everything perfectly mapped out to make it work. Sometimes it’s not about earning more. It’s about getting intentional with what you’ve already got. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

What actually happens when you start investing… and just figure it out as you go? In this week’s Investing Diary, we’re chatting to a Money Bee who has been on a full journey over the last four years. Blue chip stocks, trying to time the market, accidentally buying multiple ETFs that all hold the same companies… nothing has been off limits. It’s the kind of story that will make you feel a lot better about your own investing decisions. We talk about what it looked like starting out with a $10,000 head start, how confidence can quickly turn into “I can outsmart the market” energy, and the moment you realise your strategy might not be as solid as you thought. There’s also a really real conversation about ETFs and diversification, especially when you think you’re spreading your investments… but you’re actually doubling up without realising. Plus, we get into the emotional side of investing, like watching your portfolio move up and down, and how to stay consistent when everything feels a bit chaotic. We also cover the practical side of things, including choosing an investing platform, the differences between CMC and Sharesies, and why automating your investments can be the thing that keeps you on track long term. This episode is relatable, a little bit chaotic, and genuinely helpful. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing investing right” or felt unsure about your strategy, you’re going to see yourself in this one.

This is a story about resilience, rebuilding and what it really looks like to go from financial chaos to financial confidence. Plus, we talk budgeting, credit cards, investing strategies and how to take control of your money even when you feel completely overwhelmed.

If you think being made redundant would completely derail your finances… this week’s Money Diary might change your mind. Our diarist is a 32-year-old mum of two who’s worked hard since childhood, built a strong corporate career… and then had her world flipped upside down. A serious injury, two redundancies in one year, and some very big financial decisions, all happening at once. But instead of playing it safe, she did something else. She backed herself. From launching a brand-new business (that’s already turning a profit), to buying a $400k property with 100 acres and a creek running through it, this is a story about resilience, strategy and redefining what financial success actually looks like. We chat: What it’s really like to be made redundant… twice How she went from corporate marketing to launching her own business The reality of starting a business with young kids (and a lot on the line) Selling shares to fund big life goals Building wealth outside of the “traditional” Sydney property dream And the mindset shift from working hard… to working smart This episode is equal parts practical and inspiring, and a reminder that sometimes the thing that feels like a setback… is actually the start of something much bigger. If you’ve ever wondered “could I actually do something different?”… this one’s for you. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

If you think losing your job would set you back financially… this week’s Money Diary might change your mind. In 2018, our diarist lost her corporate role and six-figure salary overnight. What followed wasn’t a scramble to replace it, but a decision to finally back herself and start the business she’d been putting off. What began as a one-woman operation in a granny flat is now a multi-million dollar business with a team of 20. We chat about the leap, the reality behind the growth, and what it actually takes to build something from nothing. If you’ve ever thought “could I do that?”… this one’s for you.

Would you love to start and investing club with your friends? That’s exactly what this week’s Money Diarist did. Inspired by the investing club her mum started with friends more than two decades ago, she sent a message to a few girlfriends with a simple idea. What if they pooled a little money together, learned about the share market as they went, and invested as a group? That message turned into a fully fledged club called ASX in the City. There’s a shared account, monthly contributions, spreadsheets tracking their portfolio and a voting system for deciding which stocks make the cut. Along the way they’ve learned about ETFs, picked a few winners, had the occasional “problem child” investment and built something many people wish they had… a space where talking about money actually feels normal. In this episode she shares how the club works, what they’ve learned along the way and why investing doesn’t have to be something you figure out alone. By the end of this episode there’s a very good chance you’ll be hitting up your friends to start your own ASX and the City.

If you've ever asked yourself if personal insurance is really worth it... you need to listen to the episode! This week’s Money Diarist always considered herself a finance girl. She was working, studying finance on the side, investing, and saving for her first home. The kind of person who had an emergency fund and she even had her personal insurances sorted. Then, exactly 1 year after she set up her cover, she was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Within a week she was starting chemo, she couldn't work and the life she’d been carefully building suddenly looked very different. But the financial foundations she’d put in place meant she didn’t have to make decisions from panic while navigating the biggest challenge of her life. Now, as she approaches the end of treatment, she’s reflecting on how the experience reshaped her relationship with money, priorities, and what actually matters when life throws the unexpected your way.

If you’ve ruled out owning property because you don’t have a 20% deposit… or you’re single… or your salary isn’t over $100k, well this week’s Money Diary is here to show you it’s possible without any of that. This time last year our diarist was in a share house that wasn’t great for her mental health, assuming she’d be renting forever. The decision to move back with her parents at 30 didn’t feel like a strategy, it felt like she was going backwards. But her sister challenged her to use that time to her advantage instead of wasting it, so she did. She paid off her credit card, got intentional about saving, and instead of scrolling past it, she decided to properly understand the 2% Help to Buy scheme most people assume won’t apply to them. We chat what the government’s equity stake actually means in real life, and the practical moves that turned “that’s not realistic for me” into keys in her hand. If you’ve taken property off your vision board, this one might make you rethink what’s actually possible.

Have you been waiting to start investing because you’re scared you’ll get it wrong? This week’s Money Diarist started with a hot stock tip from her Dad and then it… didn’t perform. Instead of spiralling, she levelled up. She stopped chasing individual shares and started understanding what she was actually buying. She started automating her investing so emotions weren’t running the show (and she wasn't checking her app every 5 minutes). Now at 32, she has around $100,000 in shares, another $100,000 sitting in her offset, and roughly $140,000 in super... on a regular salary This ep is proof that investing does not reward perfection. It rewards consistency.SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

Ever looked at house prices and thought that could never be me? This week’s Money Diarist had that exact moment. She was newly married, with $50 in the bank after the honeymoon, watching Sydney property prices climb while they were still trying to get ahead. So instead of accepting their fate as “forever renters,” they made a decision most people talk about, but don’t actually follow through on... they packed up and moved to a regional town. It meant leaving behind friends and family, and starting again in a place where they didn’t know anyone. And no, it wasn’t instant success. There were setbacks, second guesses, and plenty of moments where they wondered if they’d made a huge mistake. If you’ve ever felt locked out of home ownership, this one might just shift your entire perspective. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

You don’t need a uni degree to earn $180k a year. This week’s Money Diary proves it. Oh and did we mention she’s only 24?!?! So of course Victoria gets pervy about how she actually got there. The career moves that paid off. The money habits that stuck. And what earning big this young really feels like when the stakes are high. We also unpack the full story behind the two properties she owns, including the one she bought with a friend. Spoiler. It did not end well. This episode goes into what happens when the plan makes sense on paper, but the relationship falls apart, and how she handled the fallout without everything blowing up. If you want proof that there’s more than one way to build wealth, this episode is for you. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

This week’s Money Diary is a property rollercoaster. One that starts off feeling sensible… and then does a three loop-de-loops. Our diarist bought, renovated, sold, and started building again while raising a family and spending long stretches on one income. Then a builder collapse meant she had to find $75k more to cover costs.She shares how she kept things steady when cash flow was tight, the calls she made to protect her family, and the point where she realised property didn’t have to do all the work on its own. You’ll hear how investing entered the picture later and what finally helped things feel less fragile. This one shows what it looks like to adapt when your plans change, without everything falling over. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

January 26 isn’t just another public holiday. For many First Nations Australians, it marks the beginning of invasion and the impacts of colonisation that are still felt today. That’s why we're interupting your normal Money Diaries programming to bring you this conversation, with very special guests Laura Thompson and Sarah Sheridan. Laura and Sarah are the co-founders of Clothing The Gaps, the Aboriginal led and controlled, and majority Aboriginal owned business and social enterprise behind the Not A Date To Celebrate campaign. In the ep they explain what often gets missed in the public debate, how economic empowerment plays a role in real, lasting change, how First Nations–led businesses approach impact differently, and what refectful and informed support can look like on this date and beyond.

If you’ve ever looked at your debt and thought how did I even get here, this one’s for you. Because that’s exactly where our Money Diarist found herself when she realised she was about $60,000 deep. There was a car. A wedding. Setting up a home. All the things that feel like you’re just meant to do as you build a life. Until one day she zoomed out and realised a life in debt wasn’t what she wanted for her family. Once she started learning how money actually works, everything shifted. She wasn’t bad with money like she’d always thought. She’d just never been taught. This episode is about what happens when financial literacy starts to click. How she tackled the debt without spiralling into shame. How a few strategic moves changed everything. And why when life later threw her a serious curveball, having those foundations already in place made all the difference. A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

If you’ve ever told yourself investing is something you’ll get to later, when you have more money, more brain space, or a slightly more put-together life… this episode is about to ruin all of those excuses in the best way. Today, the one and only Bec Syed has volunteered to jump into the Investing Diaries seat so we can get pervy on her first year as an investor (and yes, it’s exactly as Bec-coded as you’d expect). She walks us through how she went from not really understanding what investing even was, to building an almost $1,500 investment portfolio in the background of her very normal, but very chaotic life. (Yep, we're so proud of her too!) We get into what it actually looks like to invest when you don’t have heaps of spare cash, why round-ups and automation are a game changer, and how seeing tiny wins along the way completely changed how money feels. In her lovable Bec way she's honest about the confusion, the questionable decisions, the accidental wins, and the fact that she still very much learning as she goes. It’s proof that you don't have to have it all figured out when it comes to investing, you just need to start. And if Bec can do it… honestly, so can you.

This Money Diary starts at the exact moment you realise… okay, I can’t keep doing money like this. Our diarist had spent a few years doing exactly what she wanted to do. Enjoying life, making memories, prioritising experiences. And then came the realisation that while she didn’t regret any of it, she needed a different plan going forward. In this episode, she walks through the exact things that helped her go from avoiding her finances to feeling genuinely confident with them. The systems she uses to stay on top of her money without obsessing over it. How she learned what actually matters to focus on (and what really doesn’t). And the mindset shift that stopped money feeling like this looming, stressful thing in the background of her life. A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.

This is one of those Money Diaries that starts with a decision that feels sensible at the time… and slowly reveals just how much weight it carries. When her partner suggested using her inheritance to buy property together, it felt like the right next step. The grown up one. The kind you make when you’re building a future with someone. Then the relationship ended, and that decision didn’t disappear with it. In this episode, she walks us through what happens next. The parts of property ownership no one explains when you’re in love. The confidence knock that comes from being told you’re “bad with money.” And the reality of having to step up financially before you feel ready. She also shares the systems she built to make money feel manageable again, especially with a brain that doesn’t love numbers, and the lessons she wishes she’d known before saying yes. This one is full of the stuff you don’t realise you need to know until you really, really do. Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

Today's guest won't surprise you if you read the introduction to Rich Girl Nation, which recollected the 2018 event that made me think personal finance might not be solely for people with brown bananas and pocket protectors.

A year after being thrown head first into financial litteracy and producing over 200 episodes of She’s On The Money, our behind the scenes queen Emma is here to share exactly how her finances and money mindset has changed. This is what happens when real life, rising costs, and a very loud financial education collide. A home that wasn’t meant to be forever suddenly holds the key to a much bigger plan. One tiny change inside her super she'd been putting off ends up doing far more than she expected. And the investing strategy she used to overthink becomes the thing that finally gives her financial clarity. Inside this ep:

If you’ve ever looked at your payslip and thought “there’s no way I can build anything on this,” this diary is the proof you need. Our Money Diarist started on eight dollars an hour at Macca’s, saved like a girl with a plan, and built a foundation that most of us don’t hit until our thirties.... and she did it before she could legally rent a car. This episode is packed with the stuff that actually matters when you’re starting small. The tiny habits that added up to her first thirty thousand dollars. The mindset that kept her choosing long-term wins over short-term fun. The discipline she built on a low wage that turned out to be her biggest superpower once her income jumped. If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start saving “when you earn more,” this diary will change your whole perspective, and maybe your next pay cycle too. If you want the motivation to start with what you’ve got, this diary will light that fire. Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

Our very first Investing Diary has landed, and she is the perfect reminder that investing is absolutely for women like us. Before she ever opened an app, she genuinely believed investing was a world reserved for men on Wall Street. Then lockdown hit, the algorithm gods did their thing, and suddenly she was seeing finance content from women who actually looked and sounded like her. One rabbit hole later… her entire money story flipped. What started as curiosity turned into a full investing era. She binged podcasts, graduated from micro investing, and built herself a portfolio with a set-and-forget energy. Then life did what life does. First home. Wedding. New job. So she stepped back from investing and honestly forgot about her portfolio altogether. Two years later she logs back in… and realises it has grown by $20,000 while she invested exactly nothing. Inside this ep, Victoria gets pervy about it all: the ETFs doing the heavy lifting, the direct shares she bought because she could see their value, and the “accidental strategy” that is actually outperforming her partners. This one is proof that you do not need to be a man in a suit on Wall Street to grow your money in the sharemarket. You just need to start.

This is the update you’ve all been waiting for… and a year later, she’s back to tell us what really went down. Last time we spoke, the separation was still fresh. Now the divorce is almost final, and everything that happened in between is the stuff every woman should know long before she ever needs to. We’re talking expectations versus reality, the loopholes no one warns you about, and the parts of the process that only make sense once you’re living them. She also shares the lessons she wishes she’d known sooner, how she’s navigating the big conversations with her kids, and the mindset shift that changed everything.LISTEN: To her first ep with us here.

Have you ever wanted to see what would happen if you actually sat down and did that budget?This week’s Money Diarist actually did it and everything changed. After hitting rock bottom, the stress of trying to keep up finally broke her. One “yes” to a holiday with her partner she couldn’t afford turned into tears in the car and the realisation that something had to give. So she did what any of us would do, opened Google and typed “female finance book”. She came across She's on the Money, read the book and decided to put everything into action... and this is her money diary 5 years on (spoiler: she's thriving).

You know that feeling when you start earning your own money and suddenly everything feels possible... the festivals, the flights, the “let’s just go out”? This week’s Money Diarist lived that era hard. Working double shifts, saying yes to everything, and promising herself she’d deal with the debt later. Then later came… with a $10K maxed-out credit card, a $20K car loan, and a reality check that hit harder than the Monday shift after a Sunday sesh. But here’s the plot twist: she turned it all around. These days she’s running a six-figure career, owns her own home, and has an investment property quietly doing its thing in the background. If you’ve been in your “fun now, finances later” era, this diary is full of inspo!

They say you end up with someone like your dad... and for this week’s diarist, that was the problem. Her dad was reckless with money, and years later, she married someone just like him. While she worked and saved, he spent, quit jobs on a whim, and left her holding the financial bag. At 30, she’d had enough. She packed two suitcases, took her last $12K, and started again. . Now building wealth on her own terms (complete with a partner who actually gets it) and even using debt recycling to make her mortgage work harder. This ep is proof that starting again doesn't equal failure... it’s a power move.GET VICTORIA'S BUDGETING SYSTEM: Master your cashflow here.Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

Ever done something just because it’s what you’re supposed to do? Well, this week's diarist did the opposite. While everyone else was drowning in student debt and instant noodles, she was saving, flying, and somehow adulting better than all of us. She bought a house in her early twenties, lived overseas for years, and came home with more life experience than any degree could buy. Spoiler: doing life “out of order” might’ve been the smartest move she ever made. Inside this diary, we get into skipping-uni guilt, working smarter than your parents planned for, and how to build a life that actually feels good, not just looks good on LinkedIn.

Ever feel like everyone else’s life is speeding ahead while you’re stuck in the slow lane? This week’s Money Diarist knows that feeling too well. While her friends were off travelling, she was juggling uni deadlines and midnight feeds. At 17, she was pregnant and kicked out of school for being a “bad example.” Instead of giving up, she finished Year 12 through TAFE, raised her baby, went to uni, and rebuilt her life from scratch, all while living on Centrelink. Fast forward a decade and she’s earning six figures, owns her home, and has cleared every cent of personal debt. But getting here meant facing down shame, comparison, and that constant feeling of being “behind”… so this ep is full of the real talk we all need to hear. This episode is your reminder that it doesn’t matter where you start, you can still build something incredible from right where you are.GET VICTORIA'S BUDGETING SYSTEM: Master your cashflow here.Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

We’ve all been told property is the “safe” investment. But this week’s Money Diarist learned the hard way that’s not always true. She thought she was making the smart move buying a second investment property. Instead, she ended up with a building so dodgy it dragged her through years of court battles, left her with no rental income, and forced her to sell the first house she loved just to stay afloat. Now she’s picking up the pieces, rebuilding from zero and now has good things coming her way. Listen in to hear the biggest lesson she's learnt.

Have you ever wanted to pack a bag, vanish from your old life? That’s exactly what this week’s Money Diarist did when her world flipped upside down at 21 and she had everything taken away from her, and it became the start of a money story she never saw coming. What began as a running-away chapter chasing her love of travel turned into years of odd jobs, fishing boats, and tour guiding, where lifestyle always came first and paycheques came second. But somewhere between chasing adventure and moving towns, she quietly built the foundation for a financial glow-up that would shock even her. Fast forward to today and she’s earning serious money, living far smaller than her income would suggest, and stacking wealth in ways that don’t make sense until you hear the full story. There are moments in this diary that will have you gasping, laughing, and maybe questioning your own risk tolerance. Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

Every money story has a sliding door moment... the decision that could go either way. Stay safe, or risk it all. This week’s Money Diarist chose the second option: she sold her house, walked away from job security, and packed up the family for a sea change with no plan and no savings. Everyone (including her parents) thought it was risky. And honestly? At first it did look like financial chaos. But that one leap set off a chain of events she never could’ve predicted, the kind of glow up that proves the riskiest decisions sometimes deliver the sweetest rewards. You’ll hear how she navigated debt, uncertainty, and living week-to-week, the turning point that changed everything, and the money wins she still can’t quite believe are hers. If you’ve ever stared down a scary choice and wondered what might happen if you said yes… this is your sign to listen.Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

Have you ever had to say no to something you couldn’t afford... and it completely changed your life? This week’s Money Diarist has. She was literally ranked top 10 in the world as a professional athlete… while earning less than $20k a year. (Yep, you heard that right. Top 10 in the world, but that's all she was paid). Backed by her powerhouse single mum, she trained, studied, worked odd jobs, and poured everything into her sport, until the moment came to head to Europe to compete and the price tag was just too high. That no changed everything. Fast forward to today and her money story looks very different. She’s swapped early morning training for a six-figure 9–5, added a pilates side hustle and has gone through a casual financial glow-up. Fast forward to today and she’s swapped early morning training for a six-figure 9–5, added a Pilates side hustle, and gone through a casual financial glow-up.

What would you do if after your wedding you found out your husband was hiding $40,000 of secret debt? Well, this week's Money Diarist rolled up her sleeves, worked two jobs to pay it off… only for him to leave her afterwards. But plot twist: it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to her. From financial betrayal to an unexpected glow-up, today’s diary has it all. Career wins, seriously good money habits, and the kind of second-chance love story that proves the boy you sat next to in primary school might just turn out to be your financial dream man.

Ever dreamed about walking out of your 9–5 and building something completely different... something that changes your life and other people’s? This week’s Money Diarist actually did something exactly that. She walked away from the kind of job that makes you watch the clock, stepped into an industry most women don’t even look twice at… and turned it into a seven-figure business. Yep. Seven. Figures. Now she’s using that success to bring more women into the fold, helping them build skills, confidence, and the kind of “I can handle anything” energy you can take anywhere. We chat about the hustle, the hiccups, the debt-free dream home plan, and (because why not) her future holiday house overseas. If you’ve ever thought “I could never do that,” you might after this.

What happens when life changes in an instant, and the world expects you to carry on? This week’s Money Diarist had everything in motion: a new home with a pool, $40k in savings, a baby on the way, and a backyard wedding just around the corner. But days before she was meant to walk down the aisle, she faced the unimaginable: her daughter was stillborn. In this deeply personal and courageous conversation, she opens up about what came next; grappling with grief, navigating systems that weren’t built for moments like this, and trying to stay afloat when everything felt like it was sinking. From Centrelink confusion and being forced back to work too soon, to finding moments of light in Taylor Swift concerts, this is a story of love, loss, and learning how to begin again.

From the emotional mess of selling the family home to navigating bank accounts, and all the estate drama, this is the side of money we don’t often talk about, but so many of us will face. And through it all? She’s budgeting, investing for her kids, and still somehow holding it together. This episode is a reminder that sometimes, surviving is the win.
