I Gave Away All My Money…and Instantly Regretted It!

Let’s be real, money talk isn’t exactly sexy. But ignoring it can lead to stress, missed opportunities, and even financial struggles, especially in midlife. Many women feel lost or overwhelmed with finances and some rely on partners to manage the complicated stuff, but that doesn’t have to be the case. In this episode, Michelle chats with financial educator Mel Browne about how women can take control of their finances, break down the barriers holding them back, and feel confident with money. They cover practical strategies for investing, understanding super, and navigating the financial impact of menopause. Mel also shares her personal journey from financial uncertainty to becoming a multi-millionaire, proving it’s never too late to take charge of your financial future.
