Rachel's Story - "I want to live like I'm on holiday"
Description
"I want to live like I'm on holiday." That was Rachel's starting point - and what a journey it's been.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Rachel shares how she went from anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about her finances… to confident, clear, and in control. With honesty and humour, she opens up about the fears she faced, the myths she let go of (spoiler: paying off the mortgage isn't always the holy grail), and the standout moments that changed everything - including hearing the words: "Rachel, you're going to be OK."
Together with Sam Secomb, Chartered Financial Planner and founder of Women's Wealth, they unpack:
-
Why shame keeps so many women stuck - and how to shake it off
-
The moment a podcast helped Rachel take the leap
-
What it really means to have a "best financial friend"
-
How reframing her mortgage shifted her entire retirement plan
-
Why honesty, not perfection, is the key to financial progress
From fearing the admin and dodging pension statements, to logging into her financial portal with ease, Rachel's transformation is nothing short of inspiring. As she puts it:
"I sleep better at night now. Even if we drew a line here, I know I have enough - and that changed everything."
