In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing 10 steps to reset your finances.

If this sounds all too familiar, it’s time to take charge and reset. I don't know about you, but for me, the end of summer has brought this realisation. Summer was a whirlwind, I spent a lot (and had a LOT of fun doing so). However fast forward to November and I’m feeling disconnected from my money. I don’t want to wait until the New Year to fix it.

From tackling debt and defining clear goals to creating an annual plan and writing a vision letter, these steps will help you take control and stay motivated. Finish the year strong by reflecting on your financial priorities, organising your money, and planning towards your big happy goals.

In this episode:

• How to review all your debt and make a plan to clear it
• How to complete an annual financial overview

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m diving into the fascinating world of investing in precious metals - what it is, why it matters, and how to get started.

I often talk about investing as a powerful way to build wealth. Usually, I focus on topics like the stock market, property, and business. But today, I’m excited to explore the unique power of investing in precious metals. I'll admit, like anything that is new or unknown, this topic felt slightly intimidating, simply because I didn't fully understand it. Since undertaking research and learning the "what", why” and “how” behind it, I’ve come to realise just how empowering and impactful it can be. We invest as a way to protect our wealth, especially from inflation. Inflation erodes the buying power of your money. When you leave your money sitting in cash, it loses purchasing power year after year. By swapping cash for assets like precious metals that grow in value over time, you’re not only preserving your wealth but you're also beating inflation.

One of the biggest barriers to investing for women is a combination of risk aversion and lack of knowledge. Research shows that women are 45% more likely than men to hesitate when it comes to starting or expanding their investment portfolios due to a lack of knowledge. My hope is that this episode, along with resources shared by The Royal Mint, will help bridge that gap and inspire you to diversify both your knowledge and your portfolio.

In this episode:

• What it means to invest in precious metals like gold
• 3 reasons why you should invest in precious metals
• 3 things to consider when you choose to invest
• 4 top tips for getting started
• Allow me to introduce you to The Royal Mint!

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing how to choose between investing in a property or the stock market.

I get asked this question all the time and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone’s priorities, circumstances, dreams and values are unique. It’s essential to get clear on what you truly want, beyond the expectations of society or family. If you value liquidity and growth, the stock market might be a better path. But if you’re looking for stability and a tangible asset, buying property could be more aligned with your goals. By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll have a clearer sense of which option feels right for you.

Sometimes, our decisions make more emotional sense than financial. If owning a home has always been your dream, and it gives you a sense of fulfilment—even if it’s not the most profitable choice—that’s ok. Life isn’t just about financial gain; it’s about what we do with our money to live fully. So if you’ve run the numbers and still feel it’s the right choice, trust yourself, pursue your dreams and go for it!

In this episode:

• An overview of investing in the stock market and property
• How understanding your financial goals will help you choose where to invest
• Accessibility to your money and understanding liquidity
• The fees and the costs involved with investing
• Diversification and leveraging your money when investing
• The pros and cons of investing in the stock market and property
• Why some things make more emotional sense than they do financial

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing the psychology of spending.

I’ve had an absolute ball this summer #noregrets but I can say with confidence that I’ve bought and spent money on things that I definitely don’t need. Let’s be honest - most of us have been here. Our spending habits are closely tied to our mindset, so today we’ll be exploring this connection to help you make positive changes towards financial freedom. Moving from impulsive to intentional spending starts with building a strong connection to your goals and values. When you’re truly aligned with what you want for your future and the deeper reasons behind why you value money, it becomes easier to pause and ask, “does this purchase bring me closer to my goals, or does it pull me further away?” This kind of self-questioning helps you spend more intentionally, prioritizing what truly matters to you.

Seeing yourself as financially empowered is another powerful mindset shift. When you focus your self-worth and fulfilment on experiences, relationships, and personal growth—not just material goods—you create a sense of value that can’t be taken away. Your self-worth is built on how you view yourself, the way you show up in your relationships, and the impact you have on others, not on the things you own or the way others perceive you. The more in tune you are with yourself, the more you’ll enjoy life without relying on external gratification. Learning to sit with your emotions, knowing you’ll be okay regardless of what you’re feeling, is incredibly powerful. Material things might bring a quick fix but that feeling fades fast. Lasting fulfilment comes from within.

In this episode:

• What is impulsive spending?
• How does your belief system impact your spending?
• How does the reward cycle in our brain work?
• The influence of society, marketing and social media on our spending habits
• 6 ways to shift to more conscious spending

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing why certain behaviours aren't helping you make any financial progress and 5 steps to implement change.

Tell me, do any of these beliefs or behaviours sound familiar? “Im so shit with money, whats the point in trying?” Maybe you start off the month with the best of intentions and a budget, but you make a small little mistake and the whole plan goes straight out the window. Perhaps you have an ‘all or nothing’ attitude, so you live by extremes and find yourself yo-yo-ing between saving and then splurging it all. Maybe you say things like “I’m a spender, I just can’t help it!”. Or maybe you’re a perfectionist and you think there's a perfect money management process out there where nothing goes wrong and you feel like you haven’t cracked it yet so you keep starting new every month and never make any process. If you relate to any of these, I’m going to be sharing why these behaviours aren't helping you make any financial progress and most importantly how to shift your attitude and energy.

I’ll be divulging why how you identify is how you will act, how the compound effect shapes your finances and habits over time and 5 ways that you can shift your energy and attitude. Getting honest with your habits, mindset and behaviours and acknowledging how the compound effect can shape your life over a year, and even 10 years, will help you start to make positive change. The quicker you can nip your negative behaviours in the bud and implement positive financial habits with your budgeting and your language, the quicker you’ll be able to create a life of financial freedom, whatever this looks like to you.

In this episode:

• How you identify is how you will act

• Why these behaviours aren't helping you make any financial change

• How the compounding effect applies to your finances and habits

• What happens if you keep making the same mistakes every month

• 5 ways to shift your energy and attitude

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing the harsh reality that you might be wasting your time and money.

I’m going to call you out on this - if you are spending mindlessly, you are wasting your life. Ouch. That’s a killer to hear, I know. When you go to work, whether that is a 9-5, you run your own business or you’re self-employed, you are swapping your time for money. Time is our most valuable asset. Why? It’s a finite resource and we only have so much of it in a day, a week, a month, a year, a lifetime. Unlike money, once you’ve spent it, you can’t get it back or make any more. Which is why you could argue that time is more valuable than money.

So, if you go to work, swap your time for money and then mindlessly spend that hard earned cash on things that don’t add to your life, then you could say that you are wasting your life. Wealth is the ability to fully experience life, so if you find yourself spending on things that are not going to benefit your health, wealth or future self, or inhibits your ability to experience life to the fullest, then you need to schedule a money date. Get honest; evaluate your spending habits and get connected with your values in order to make conscious choices that support your goals and dream life.

In this episode:

• Why time is more valuable than money
• What does the ability to fully experience life mean to you?
• How poor choices can diminish your health
• Examples of 2 clients who were "wasting their life" due to their spending habits
• Mindful spending and assessing your habits: do you spend in line with your values?
• 3 actionable tips to help you work towards financial freedom

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing what to do if you feel guilty spending your money.

There are two main reasons you might feel guilty about spending money: either you're not saving or investing enough to progress financially, or you're successfully building wealth but have a poor relationship with money. I’ll be helping you identify the source of your guilt and sharing tips on how to find the perfect balance between saving, investing and enjoying your money.

Some people save or invest most of their income, waiting for a certain point—like retirement at 60—to enjoy it. But as you age, your time, health, and energy diminish. If you keep waiting to enjoy your money, many of the things you're saving for might not be possible or desirable later in life. It’s crucial to seize opportunities and live in the now. If you wait to spend your money, your habits can become so ingrained that you’ll struggle to shift to a spending mindset later, and you'll keep finding excuses to postpone. That said, don’t spend everything—balance is key. This comes down to improving your relationship with money, budgeting and setting financial goals. The ultimate goal is to achieve financial freedom in order to retire comfortably and enjoy your dream life, but also to spend your money and create memories that will continue to pay dividends and last you a lifetime.

In this episode:

• Examples of how you might feel guilty spending money
• The two main reasons behind money guilt
• Practical tips for overcoming guilt around spending
• Exploring the emotional side of money and why you deserve to enjoy it
• The consequences of waiting until retirement to enjoy your money

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing 30 things I learnt at 30.

This week, I’m celebrating my 31st birthday! I felt compelled to share my own reflections on life, growing older and why your life does NOT end at 30. Like many, I feared this milestone. I entered the pandemic at 27 and felt like I’d been robbed of my prime years (I’m sure many of you can relate to this). So much is geared towards being in your 20’s; experimenting, having fun, experiencing life, not having it all figured out and the reassurance that it’s ok because this is what your 20’s are for. All this does is reinforce the idea that mistakes and messiness outside of your 20’s is not welcome and if you don’t have your shit together in your 30s then you’ve failed. Now that I’m on the other side of 30, I realise how untrue this is. This year I’ve cared less, felt more liberated and free than ever, and I’ve had SO MUCH fun. I’m truly 30, dirty and thriving and it’s going to be an ICONIC decade.

I’ve rounded up my own list of 30 life lessons I’ve learned along the way, from self-investment to why I’m so here for empowering sex, how a gua sha has quite literally changed my face, and why sometimes being delulu is the solulu. Tune in to hear why your thirties have the potential to be the best years yet, my top life lessons that will change your perspective on age, growth, and self-worth and how to thrive at any age—without the pressure of having it all figured out.

In this episode:

• Why your life does NOT end at 30

• My experience of empowering sex

• The #1 question you should ask yourself after a date

• The non-negotiable thing I do EVERY morning

• How to be the creator of your own life
