This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredible Chelsea Pottenger. Chelsea is the founder of EQ minds, a high performance mindset and meditation coach, a sought-after keynote speaker, author of The Mindful High Performer, a former US College Division 1 basketballer with an MBA. Chelsea works with large brands globally, helping people reset, recharge and perform at their best. A proud mum, a devoted wife, a passionate mental health advocate and an ambassador for The Gidget Foundation, supporting new parents through perinatal anxiety and depression. In this episode we get to hear Chelsea’s story - from growing up in rural NSW with a strong work ethic, to being scouted by US colleges to play basketball at the highest level, to an injury which brought her home, and the love story that was happening in the background of all of this. Chelsea opens up about the painful struggle she went through, when after trying for 7 years to fall pregnant, she finally gave birth to her daughter Clara and then suffered severe postnatal depression, which led to her being admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She talks about how she got through that dark time and the incredible resources that are available for any parents who may be going through similar challenges. We also hear about the wonderful new career that came from Chelsea’s rock bottom. She went on to study mindfulness and psychology, founded EQ minds and now spends her time sharing helpful evidence-based tools to help people perform at their best and thrive. She has shared stages with some of the most incredible people as a sought-after speaker and we were so lucky to have her with us in the studio. This conversation really covers it all and we loved the way that through talking about Chelsea’s mental health challenges and the struggles she faced, there was also so much light and laughter in this interview. We hope you love it as much as we did. This episode is proudly supported by Montgomery Investment Management, trusted experts helping you build and protect your financial future.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredible Lisa Preston. Lisa has one of the most powerful and unforgettable stories that you won’t want to miss. As someone who was adopted at birth, we hear the epic tale of what it was like to search for her birth parents, and all of the twists and turns along the way. This is a story of love, belief, hope, belonging and determination. It’s so powerful that Lisa was asked to be a guest on the SBS show Insight, in an episode about adoption, and we were lucky enough to go into even more detail about the amazing moments from her life. We’re not going to spoil the story for you in these show notes, this really is an episode that will have you on the edge of your seat, but needless to say there were a lot of emotions shared in the studio that day. We went through highs and lows, shared laughter and tears and were deeply moved by what Lisa shared. We’re so grateful to Lisa for being so open and vulnerable with us, and letting others have a glimpse into the complex world of adoption. Above all, this is an uplifting story of what can be possible when you don’t give up, keep an open heart, have empathy for others and are determined to put the puzzle pieces of your life together. Lisa is a phenomenal storyteller and we absolutely loved having her in the studio with us. We hope you love this episode as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di are back with the third episode of our monthly financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and is a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about a simple framework that you can use to build a robust retirement portfolio - the 3 bucket strategy. Roger takes us through the benefits of having a structure and a plan, and how it can bring us so much peace of mind that we will be able to enjoy our retirement - which could be arguably the most enjoyables years of our lives. We go through what each bucket is for, how they support your present needs and your future self, and the way you work with all 3 buckets to make sure you can feel calm, confident and not at the whim of market fluctuations. Roger also gives us a brilliant overview of private credit funds - what they are, why they’re a relatively new way to invest, the different things to be aware of when you’re choosing a private credit fund, and why he thinks this is an important thing to consider when it comes to bucket 2. We also hear about the wonderfully positive impact these conversations have been having on Nicola and Di, and how they feel so much calmer about finances these days. As always, this episode was full of so much valuable information and we’re so glad to be able to bring you these conversations with Roger where we are learning so much. We hope you are too.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the funny and vibrant Shelly Horton. Shelly is a bold, outspoken journalist and TV presenter, who has been on our screens in Australia for decades. We chat about her pathway to confidence plus her new book, I’m Your PERI Godmother. We hear all about how Shelly got her start in TV, the cruel way she was fired for being “too fat”, and how she made her way back onto our screens through a mentor, a goal-setting course, and the power of visualisation and dressing the part. Shelly gives us some of her highlights from her 6 years as a gossip columnist and the 1500 events she attended in that time - including her favourite celebrities and who was the worst - you’ll want to tune in to hear those stories! We also talk all about Shelly’s brilliant new book, I’m Your PERI Godmother, which has been described as a hilarious guide to help you survive perimenopause with science, helpful tips and proven treatments. Shelly tells us about her own journey with perimenopause and the way it completely changed her mental health. She talks about her own lack of knowledge in this area, and how she thought menopause was for old ladies. As Shelly says, it’s so important for us all to educate ourselves about perimenopause and then decide what’s best for us. The best part is, Shelly has a way of making this topic fun and we laughed a lot in this interview. And finally we ask Shelly about her tips for being more confident, and simple things that people can do to feel more prepared if they have a speech coming up. We absolutely loved chatting with Shelly and it felt like we had a good girlfriend at the back fence with us. We hope you love it as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the kind and generous Karen Ledbury. Karen has been a television presenter in Australia for three decades and for the last 18 years has graced our screens on Channel 7’s The Morning Show and Sydney Weekender. She’s worked for every commercial network in Australia, and describes how her early days working alongside Bert Newton was the best training in the industry. In this heartfelt episode, we hear about the funny and interesting stories from Karen’s TV career, as well as the incredibly harrowing period that Karen faced recently when in a 6-month period her father passed away, her husband suffered a catastrophic stroke and her 19-year old son was diagnosed with cancer. Karen opens up and shares about the day when her world was turned upside down, when she received a text message whilst she was on air that her completely healthy husband had been taken to hospital, and they didn’t think he would make it through the night. We hear about the powerful moment days later which completely shifted Karen’s perspective. She talks about the importance of gratitude, living in the present and giving back. As someone who has been through so much, it’s so inspiring that Karen still devotes so much of her time to giving to others through her charity work. We felt all of the emotions in this conversation - there were lots of laughs but also tears. It really was a beautiful moment of connection and we hope you feel as uplifted and inspired as we did listening to Karen’s story.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the best-selling author Jacqueline Maley. Jacqui is an esteemed, award-winning journalist and novelist, who works as a senior writer and columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. She is celebrated for her incisive commentary on politics, culture and social affairs. Her latest novel Lonely Mouth, is the book everyone is talking about, including Nigella Lawson who says it’s one of her favourite Australian books. In this episode we hear how Jacqui got started in her career as a journalist. After studying law and getting a summer clerkship at a prestigious law firm in her final year of uni, Jacqui very quickly realised that this wasn’t the career for her. After graduating, Jacqui went backpacking around Europe and she applied for a cadetship at The Sydney Morning Herald whilst she was overseas. She got the cadetship and from the moment she started working as a journalist, she absolutely loved it and didn’t look back. We chat about the way Jacqui deals with the negative feedback and online criticism that she, like so many journalists, receive these days. Jacqui has a very refreshing way of looking at it, which we know you’ll want to hear. We also talk all about Jacqui’s new book Lonely Mouth, which is getting rave reviews. We hear about the Japanese expression which gave the book its name, and the fascinating topics the book explores - the conflicted way women think about their bodies, their appetites, and themselves in the world, and the way we believe ourselves to be worthy - or not - of love. Jacqui shares her own book recommendations with us and we chat about why giving someone a book as a gift is such a beautiful and powerful present. We really loved this conversation with Jacqui and it was so wonderful chatting books with such an esteemed author, who was really lovely and down-to-earth. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the globally renowned meditation teacher, Davidji. Davidji has taught millions of people around the world how to meditate, he’s a stress management expert and the author of several best-selling books including Secrets of Meditation, Destressify and Sacred Powers. He spent over a decade as the lead educator at the Chopra Centre where he helped shape the modern meditation movement alongside Deepak Chopra. He teaches people how to tap into stillness, break old habits and become their most powerful, authentic selves. Known for his soothing voice, his practical wisdom and his signature phrase, ‘ripple it outward’. In this episode, we hear the story of the incredible moment that led to a total career and life transformation for Davidji back in 2001. Davidji had been working in the finance sector in New York for 20 years when a chance encounter on the street led him to quit his job and go to a meditation retreat with Deepak Chopra, which ultimately led to him working as the COO for the Chopra Centre for a decade. Davidji shares some beautiful and simple meditation techniques in this episode, which anyone can practice. He talks about the way meditation allows you to be fully present, and that it’s not about eliminating your thoughts, but rather witnessing them and knowing that any thought that comes, will also go if you surrender to the practice and stop resisting. We hear about the 4 needs of the heart, and how we can begin to recognise what we need in any given moment and give that to ourselves. As Davidji shares, it is through transforming our inner world, that we will transform the world. We talk about the power of the ripple effect of small acts of kindness. The way you engage and show up in the world can truly ripple outwards and change lives. We absolutely loved talking to Davidji and were so grateful for his wisdom and generosity. He has a way of making meditation and mindfulness so simple and practical, as well as keeping it fun for all of us. We hope you love this episode as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the brilliant journalist, broadcaster and presenter Kumi Taguchi. Kumi has been working in the Australian media for almost 30 years, since she landed her first job as a Production Assistant for the 7.30 Report in the 90s. From there she went on to become the host and presenter of many shows, including her current role as the host of the SBS show, Insight. Kumi can now add author to her title, with the release of her book: The Good Daughter: A memoir of losing my father and finding home. We chat to Kumi about some of the powerful and emotional moments that she shares in her new memoir, The Good Daughter. Kumi talks to us about the estranged relationship she had with her father and the unbelievable moment they shared in Japan when Kumi went to close that chapter in her life, and the universe sent her a glaring sign that it was far from closed. Kumi talks about what it was like growing up as half Japanese and half Australian, and how it was actually her Australian mother that kept the Japanese culture alive in her home. Kumi shares the beautiful moment when a Japanese woman on a train in Tokyo, helped her to reframe how she thinks about her heritage in the most powerful way. We also chat about some of the incredible personal challenges that Kumi has achieved - like that time she ran a marathon in the middle of the desert, or the time she was in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, despite the fact that she had no sailing experience and a history of getting sea sick. And of course, we wanted to hear all the behind-the-scenes intel about what really goes into an episode of Insight, how the show is made, and what Kumi’s favourite shows have been over the years. We had so much fun with Kumi and we could have chatted to her for hours. We loved having her in the studio and we really hope you enjoy this episode.

This week Nicola and Di are back with the third episode of our monthly financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and is a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about how to manage your money wisely at every age and every stage of your life. Roger goes through each generation from Gen Z, to Millennials, to Gen X, to Boomers and what you might need to focus on or consider when it comes to your finances for that stage of your life. Regardless of where you’re at in life, Roger recommends having a wealthing account. Entirely separate to a savings account, this account is where you focus on building wealth. As he suggests, a great financial habit to start is to pay yourself first into this account Roger talks about the benefits of taking some risks when you’re younger, why he thinks spending a lot of money on a wedding isn’t the best financial decision, why starting a side-hustle and being entrepreneurial is a great idea if you’ve got the drive and why paying down your mortgage first can make good financial sense. We also weigh up the pros and cons of investing your money in an investment property versus a private credit fund. Roger gives us solid ways of being able to make those decisions by making sense of and evaluating the true returns you’re getting on any investment you’re making. As always, this episode was full of so much valuable information and we’re so glad to be able to bring you these conversations with Roger where we are learning so much. We hope you are too.

Kate also opens up about the ways she has experienced ageism in her career and how ageism really is the last ‘ism’ that needs to be kicked out of the room! We couldn’t agree more. It was so lovely speaking to Kate. She is graceful, grounded and full of insight and we were so grateful to have this conversation with her in the studio. We hope you love it too.

Roger Montomery, the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management joined Tim Webster on Nightlife to unpack how global tensions are impacting markets.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredibly talented Rob Carlton. Rob is an award-winning actor, writer, director and an all-round brilliant storyteller, who grew up near Nicola and Di’s backfence on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. He’s been in so many memorable shows which you may have seen, including A Country Practice, Underbelly, Paper Giants, Black Snow, Boy Swallows Universe and The White Lotus, to name just a few. He also hosts Bravewords Live, with his wife Adrienne Ferreira, an event which brings wildly entertaining true stories to the stage. Bravewords Live has been such a success over the years, that they’ve now decided to bring these incredible stories to you with the Bravewords Podcast, which will be launching at the end of the month. In this episode we get all The White Lotus goss from Rob. He shares how secretive it was from the very beginning, when he first received the script to audition for ‘The Secret Garden’. He talks about how much mystery there was surrounding the show, from the script to the filming locations, and how great it was to be a part of the show. He talks about the fun the cast had on set, the friendships he made, the sketchy past of the superyacht they were filming on, and what it was like working with Mike White. Rob also give us such a great take on why he thinks The White Lotus became such a huge hit, and the Mike White magic that lies at the heart of this show. We also hear what it was like to become Kerry Packer, for his Logie award-winning performance in Paper Giants. Rob shares such an honest story of how he almost lost the opportunity before he even had the role, because of the way he was being driven by fear and self-sabotage. As well as his wonderful work in TV, we chat to Rob about Bravewords - his live storytelling events that he hosts with his wife Adrienne. The next one is coming up on June 29th at Avoca Beach Theatre with Larry Emdur. The good news is, over the years they’ve curated hundreds of brilliant true stories, and are about to release this as the Bravewords Podcast in the coming weeks. And it’s not all career chat in this episode with Rob. He also opens up about his family relationships - the magnificent lessons from his parents, what makes his marriage work, the power of having difficult conversations and the way that he tries to parent his 21-year-old twin boys. This is such a beautiful and rich conversation with Rob, and we hope you love it as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with one of Australia’s most sought after relationship therapists, Melissa Ferrari. Melissa has been working with couples for over 25 years, helping them create healthy, secure relationships. She is certified in the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) and is regularly called upon as a relationship expert in national media. We know that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives and that connection to others is vital to our health and happiness, so we were thrilled to explore this topic with Melissa. In this conversation we hear about the common challenges that couples face that Melissa sees over and over again in her therapy. Melissa gives us some good advice for how to ‘fight right’, including the importance of being face-to-face and looking each other in the eyes. We chat about the hormones that flood our bodies when we’re in love, and what we need to remember when those hormones wear off, and we’re really getting to know the person in front of us. Melissa talks about putting the relationship first, recognising that you’re in a 2-party system where things are give and take, and the need to get to know each other on a deep level, including the trauma that you’re both bringing into the relationship. Nicola opens up and shares a very vulnerable story about a recent relationship she was in, which ended in deception and betrayal. You won’t believe this story until you hear it! She talks about the importance of speaking up, of holding people to account, of women supporting women, and feeling empowered. We hope you enjoy this special episode with Melissa as much as we did.

Kylie opens up and shares about the incredibly difficult year she had just after turning 50, when both of her parents died suddenly and she was retrenched from her job. Kylie describes the rock bottom moment she had when she was lying on the floor sobbing, and how it was her teenage son’s words of wisdom that helped her turn it all around. We talk about the wonderful community that Kylie has created and go through some of the most inspiring quotes she shares about life in your 50s and beyond. Kylie tells us that being fearless is really about being in your ‘No F**ks Era’, and having the courage to BE YOURSELF and not worry about what other people think. Kylie also shares some brilliant advice for how you can reconnect to who you truly are and remember the dreams you used to have when you were younger so that you can bring them back to life. This is such a fantastic chat with Kylie about embracing midlife, rediscovering the things that bring you joy, being bold and living without the rules. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. And if you’re also in your ‘No F**ks Era’, Kylie has a special offer on her caps for our listeners. To get 25% off, enter the code OTBF25 at checkout.

This week Nicola and Di are back with the second episode of our monthly financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and is a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about the sandwich generation - women in their 50s and 60s who have the dual responsibility of caring for their elderly parents, and trying to support their adult children. We talk about the unique challenges this group faces when it comes to their finances and Roger has some calm and reassuring advice. Roger takes us through the difference between a financial adviser and a fund manager, and why it’s a good idea to always take your time and get a second opinion. He gives very practical advice for how you can find a good financial adviser to speak to about your finances (listed below), and why it’s in your interests to do so. Roger also talks about the importance of having conversations with your children and family before it’s too late, about your will and the plans you have for your money after you’re gone. Talk through the plans together and come to some agreements, so there aren’t any unnecessary disputes. As Roger says in this episode - it’s very dangerous to write in a will that you’ll leave everything to your children equally. Tune into the episode to find out why. Come and see Roger speak in person at our Over The Back Fence live event, happening on the 19th of June at the Woolly Bay Hotel in Sydney.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the passionate and purposeful Dr. Phoebe Meagher. Phoebe is a scientist at the Taronga Zoo Conservation Society with a diverse background in wildlife conservation, forensic research and education. She has been pioneering the use of advanced technology and AI to combat wildlife trafficking and enhance animal detection. Phoebe has also led many field projects which have had a tangible impact and allowed for the successful release of rehabilitated animals back into their natural habitat. On top of all of that, Phoebe is also a mum of 2. In this conversation, we hear all about the incredible project that Phoebe has been leading, where Taronga is using AI imaging technology to detect and prevent animals that are being illegally trafficked. Phoebe tells us about the astounding wildlife trafficking trade, with thousands of animals, such as blue tongue lizards, being poached and sent through the mail to foreign countries where they are sold for substantial amounts of money. Phoebe also shares some of the most incredible stories from her career as a wildlife biologist. From almost losing an arm whilst hand feeding sharks, to being shocked by numb rays when she was studying sting rays for her PhD thesis as well as the most epic expedition through the jungles of Palawan. On that particular trip, Phoebe was guided by an animal poacher, 8 military guards and a young man wielding a machete in the hopes of finding a pangolin (the most trafficked animal in the world) so they could take the images they needed for the AI tech to prevent it being trafficked in the future. It is really amazing to hear about all of the conservation work that Taronga is doing and to learn how much zoos have changed for the better over the years. We are so proud of the work that Phoebe is doing and thankful that there are women like her in this world. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the inspiring trailblazer Brook Boney. Brook is a proud Gamilaroi woman. She’s a political reporter and much loved broadcaster who took the big leap of leaving her job as the entertainment reporter for The Today Show, to follow her dream to study at Oxford. Brook has written a new book All Of It, which tells her story in a beautiful and moving way and we absolutely love it. In this conversation we hear about the brave decision Brook made to leave one of the most coveted jobs in Australian TV to pursue a Masters in Public Policy at Oxford University. She shares why even though it was difficult to leave behind a job like that, and even harder still to move so far away from her family, she has no regrets. Nicola and Di also share their own life-changing decisions and how they look back proudly at those decisions now. Brook tells us what life is like at Oxford and how she’s having so much fun. She’s even landed herself in the college that recruits for spies (although Brook admits she’d be a terrible spy after a champagne of two). Brook opens up about her personal story, growing up poor in housing commission in Muswellbrook, and how she’s been the first in her family for so many of the things she’s achieved. She speaks beautifully about how proud she is to be Aboriginal, and what it means to her to feel completely connected as one link in the chain of a 60,000 year history, and the sense of duty she feels not only to those that have come before her, but also to the next generation of her family. Brook also shares about the grief she felt when her 2 dogs passed away, and the future dreams she has to be a mother one day. This is a deeply personal chat and one that we feel so lucky we were able to have with Brook. It’s also a lot of fun - we laugh all the way through this with Brook and we felt like we all were having a glass of wine together over the back fence. We hope you love Brook’s energy and her story as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with nutritionist and best-selling author Michele Chevalley Hedge. Michele is also an international speaker, and a highly commended nutritional medicine practitioner. As a former Microsoft executive, she truly understands the needs of time-poor corporate executives who want health but not hassle. She is committed to helping people feel energised, balanced and empowered without giving up life’s pleasures - and we like the sound of that! In this conversation, we talk about energy and simple things that people can do if they’re feeling burnt out. Michele has a beautifully holistic approach, and looks at all of the aspects of someone’s life, not just what they’re eating. Michele tells us why sleep is the ultimate pillar of wellbeing, and gives us ways you can increase your magnesium levels so you get a better night’s sleep. We also talk about gut health and the fascinating link between your gut and your mental health. Michele lets us know about an amazing Deakin University study, which proves the link between eating whole foods and improved mental health. Michele tells us what to look out for when it comes to the food we’re eating - how to avoid added sugars and the importance of getting good protein, fats and carbs in all our meals. We also have a really interesting chat about midlife - the way that both men and women are affected by hormonal changes in that time. Michele wants to rebrand it from a midlife crisis to a midlife lift because of how great this time of your life can be! This was such a helpful and interesting conversation about how we can make healthier choices and focus on our wellbeing, which is our most important resource. Michele encourages everyone to take small steps, because small changes over time can lead to incredible progress. We had such a wonderful time with Michele in the studio and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the remarkable Sam Bloom. Sam’s a mum of 3, who lived a very full and active life until a devastating accident in Thailand left her paralysed. In the midst of rebuilding, along came Penguin, the little magpie who helped her heal. Their story became a best-selling book, captured by her photographer husband Cam, and later turned into a global hit film, Penguin Bloom. Now a world-champion para-kayaker, surfer and a passionate advocate, Sam is testament to the inner strength that each of us can find when faced with adversity. In this conversation, we hear about that fateful day in Thailand, when in the blink of an eye, Sam’s life changed forever when she fell through a rotten balcony railing and crashed six metres onto the concrete below. Sam shares just how awful that experience was, including the moment when she was told she would never walk again, and she thought that her life was over. Sam opens up about how much guilt she felt as a mother who could no longer look after her 3 boys in the way that she used to. The simple things she wasn’t able to do for them, and how much she hated the way the tables had turned and her boys needed to look after her. We also hear about the incredible moments of support and acts of kindness from her family and those around her, that gave her a renewed sense of purpose and allowed her to find hope again through competitive para-kayaking. Sam went on to compete in competitions around the world, and was also encouraged to get back into surfing, and went on to win Gold for Australia in the 2018, 2020 and 2023 World Para Surfing Championships. And of course we talk about the beautiful story of a little magpie named Penguin, who also played a big part in Sam’s healing. Sam shares how what started as an Instagram account, went onto become a best-selling book and then a film with Naomi Watts. This is such a beautiful and honest conversation about the importance of community, resilience, and the healing power of laughter and purpose. We were so honoured to have this chat with Sam and we hope you love it as much as we did.

This week Nicola and Di chat with 2 incredibly inspiring women, Nici Andronicus and Tania Taylor-Frost, whose stories will give you a huge boost. Both of these women do incredible work for the charity Be Centre, which changes the lives of children through play therapy. Nici is a former elite athlete, who represented Australia in triathlon and modern pentathlon. She competed in 10 world championships and over 90 international events, becoming world no. 2 in 1997 and a three-time national triathlon champion. Not only that, Nici is a mother of 5, and does a lot of incredible work for different charities. Tania is the CEO of the Be Centre, helping children navigate trauma and big emotions through play therapy and early support. She’s also the director of the Sydney Skinny, a passionate force for children’s mental health and a fierce advocate for early intervention. Tania is also a proud mum of 2. In this conversation you’ll hear Nici’s powerful story of what it was like when her husband was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 20 weeks pregnant with their 5th child. Nici was able to draw on the incredible resilience and strong mindset that she developed in her career as an elite athlete, to help her get through what was arguably the biggest challenge of her life. Nici shares openly and vulnerably about what it was like for her family, and how her youngest child was deeply affected and needed the support of the Be Centre to be able to process the trauma and difficult emotions that he was going through. We also hear Tania’s story, and how she originally met Nicola during a hiking trip with Wild Women On Top, where they were supposed to share a tent - you’ll have to listen in to hear what actually happened. She shares about why she was motivated to switch from working in tech for corporates and government to working for charities, and what it’s like for her now in her role as CEO for the Be Centre. When you listen to the passion that these 2 women have for making a positive difference in the world and the way they talk about giving as a gift to self, we guarantee you’ll feel inspired like we did. If you want to give back in a really fun way, we’d love you to consider attending the Be Centre Annual Charity Gala, on Friday May 30th. Tickets are $280 and all proceeds help families and children who otherwise could not access therapy due to financial hardship.

This week Nicola and Di are excited to bring you the first episode of our new financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by investing, unsure about what’s happening in the markets, or you just want to make a smarter decision with your money then you are in the right place. We will be joined each month by financial expert Roger Montgomery, who you may remember from our 100th episode. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about a really important topic - where should you invest when markets feel wild and you feel scared? Roger gives us such reassuring and calming advice about what we need to pay attention to, what we can tune out, and why it’s important to take your time when it comes to making financial decisions. He is able to explain the share market in a way that’s not only understandable, but interesting and talks to us about the difference between speculating and investing. We also talk about other ways of investing that aren’t as volatile as the share market, including private credit, gold and term deposits. Roger gives us a brief overview of the pros and cons of each of these investments, and why you might choose one over the other. We also have a meaningful chat about what’s really important in life, and that true value lies in the relationships we have with the people we love. We learnt so much from Roger in this episode, and more importantly we already feel more calm and confident when it comes to our finances. Roger also set some homework for us all this month - get all of your investments down on paper, make sure you know where all your money is, and find out what return they’ve been generating for you. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear Di, Nicola and their producer Sam chat about what impacted them from this conversation - believe it or not, there are tears already.

This week Nicola and Di celebrate their 100th episode!! To mark this special occasion, Nicola and Di chat with the successful and relatable Roger Montgomery. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. We really wanted to have Roger on our podcast because he has a gift for making investing andfinances so easy to understand, and he keeps things relevant and fun. He is full of wise advice and has even been described as the Warren Buffet of Australia. Roger is also a family man, with a beautiful wife and 3 children, who we get to hear more about in this interview. In this conversation Roger helps us understand how we can become more aware of our attitude towards money and how it forms when we’re really young. He shares with us a great little test you can do with your kids, which will give you a good idea of whether they’ll be a good saver when it comes to money, or whether they’ll spend it. Roger chats to us about the money challenges that women in their 50s and over are facing, with divorce rates going up and many women being faced with a situation they weren’t expecting, and having to learn how to navigate their financial future, which can feel a bit daunting at times. We talk about why it’s so important to learn more about managing your money, slow down rather than being rushed into a financial decision, surround yourself with people you trust, and be more empowered when it comes to your money. We also get to hear a little bit of Roger’s personal story, the jobs he had as a kid and the values his mum instilled in him at an early age. Roger shares the beautiful story of how he met his wife on the ferry when he was 27, and they’ve now been married for 26 years. Di brings up her fear of the stock market, and Roger gives her some great, calming advice. The good news is, this is the very beginning of our conversations with Roger, who is going to teach us everything we need to know about finance and help break down some of the fears we might have when it comes to money or investing. We are thrilled to announce we will be doing a monthly series with Roger called Over the Money Fence, which is going to help us all feel more confident about managing our money. Happy 100th episode! We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all our listeners who have been with us from the beginning, and to those who have joined along the way.
