Working Women's Wealth Podcast

Do you find that despite your best attempts to elevate the quality of your life, you are unable to either make money or hold onto it? The reason is not because you’re DOING something wrong, it’s because you’re THINKING something wrong. It’s your stories about money that dictate your experience of it. And only once you know what those stories are can you change your money thinking, thereby changing your money life. In today’s episode we talk about the right questions to ask yourself in order to reveal the roots of your stories about money and your attitude towards it. Free yourself from your limiting thoughts and assumptions about money, and replace them with liberating, consciously chosen beliefs that will change your life.

Does your inner critic allow you to love your body? Are you one of the 4% of people around the world who would describe themselves as beautiful? In this culture of perfectionism it can feel impossible to measure up, contributing to rising rates of depression and suicide. But what if you had the power to become the happiest, healthiest most fulfilled version of yourself? My guest today has confidence that you do. Harriet Waley-Cohen, believes in life-changing transformations, and envisions a world in which women and girls know that they and their bodies are ALWAYS good enough. 

Do you remember a time before life beat you up? Wide eyed and full of hope, you were sold a fairy tale of the perfect life. And then you were knocked down one too many times, and so you decided that it was safer and less painful to stay small. Broken down or beaten up, there is still a small voice inside you that’s whispering – RISE UP! BE BRAVE! FIND YOUR STRENGTH! This is YOUR life. YOUR scars. YOUR battles. You CAN march to the beat of your own drum. You got this.

In a world that seems to value ‘faster, quicker, louder’, are you an introvert struggling to keep up? Feeling drained and over-stimulated by these high-energy, extroverted interactions, do you exhaust yourself more by pretending to be something you’re not? You’re not alone, and you’re not imagining the pressure that you feel in the workplace to step up, be the leader and contribute to the conversation. My guest today tackles this bias towards extroversion in the business world. Joanna Rawbone, the founder of ‘Flourishing Introverts’, talks introversion and how to OWN IT! She gives some tips and techniques on how the introvert can play to their strengths, in order for everyone to make their contribution and bring value for the diversity they bring.

If you were to die tomorrow, would you have any regrets? Yes? Then it’s time to take matters into your own hands and change your life! What can you do to live your best life NOW? Whilst it’s important to live in the present moment, (the benefits of it are unquestionable!) today’s episode is of a more reflective nature. We’re looking at two sides of the same coin, and asking you to engage DEEPLY with the conversations of both your future and your death.

Do you find that your limiting beliefs are holding you back? Are you stuck in your comfort zone? Are your feelings of ‘not good enough’ getting you down? Are you getting in your own way? Well then, this episode is for you! You see, it turns out that you can rewire your brain and your thinking and develop new habits and beliefs about yourself that will completely change your behaviour. AND you can do it all in 30 days! But HOW? Michele Molitor, a coaching consultant who specialises in a unique technique of coaching called Rapid Rewiring, explains.

Ever felt the nagging inside you – is this all there is? Am I living my best life? Last week I reached the milestone of delivering 100 episodes of my podcast! It has been a process that is transforming me into someone who, with consistency, can live my best life. Today I’ll share with you 5 key lessons from those 100 episodes – foundations to living YOUR best life.

Most of us deeply believe that we can’t change the world… because we are bombarded by bad news every day – radio, TV, social media feeds and billboards.  We feel ‘the hopeless and helpless’… that it’s impossible for one of us to change the world.  So we don’t even try.  But what if we could? I chat to Sara Price – a 25 year veteran of the PR industry founder of Actually, an organisation that supports people who believe they can change the world.

When it rains it pours! Unexpected life changes can be traumatic. And it often all happens at the same time, right? Retrenchment, divorce, illness, losing your money. I always say life is about the ‘AND’ not the ‘OR’. But in this case, it would be a relief to push pause on the ‘AND’. There’s 3 reasons why unexpected changes disrupt our lives! Tune into my podcast where I explain why act the way we do and give practical tools to bounce back and plan forward, starting with facing our biggest fears.

I chat with Jacqueline Brown, author of Fashion Africa - a comprehensive guide to the designers, materials, and sustainable practices available in Africa. Jacqueline is also an African Fashion Business Coach and director of the Fashion Africa Conference that assists designers, brands and retailers to re-imagine their supply chain to promote and produce ethical and sustainable products that will ultimately impact local communities.

According to our National Treasury, only 6% of our population will be able to retire and maintain their quality of life at the same level as before retirement. That means that 94% of us will need to downgrade our lives to survive. That's a shocking statistic! And I don’t think we fully understand the gravity of this situation. So, I present you with a lifetime opportunity to solve this problem and live your best life yet.

WHY do you really want what you want? And what would you do if money was no object? After all, money is the currency of energy for your hopes and dreams Katy is an award-winning documentarian and news anchor that followed her passion of producing television and digital shows for ABC, NBS, PBS, E Entertainment, VH1 and so many other studios. So how did Katy go from TV producer to money mentor, you may ask? Listen to my podcast as we explore Katy’s extraordinary journey and key lessons about money.

Can you really make money by doing what you love? Of course you can! We spend a lot of time and energy mastering our hobbies and pastimes. It becomes second-nature for us to do what so many people wish they could do too. Believe it or not, but people will pay for your product or service. As they say, the riches are in the niches! And you have the (online) world waiting for your super power contribution!

When did life become so feverishly chaotic? We seem to be running a never-ending marathon with no real payoff. And let’s be honest, we are exhausted! I have an inspiring and thought-provoking talk with Dr Samantha Hiotakis, a clinical psychologist and lifestyle strategist. Dr Samantha works with ambitious high achievers who are so busy prioritising family responsibilities and job to-do lists that they just don’t have time to prioritise themselves. Sound familiar?

I talk to so many people about money to enable them to live out dreams. We have dreams of paying off our homes, sending our children to great schools, or holidaying in exquisite destinations. Do you want to know what the most sought-after life dream is? The ability to leave our day jobs when we want. This deep desire can be pinned to flexibility, terrible bosses, being overqualified but underpaid, or just a lack of purpose. So, what would your PERFECT day look like if you worked for yourself?

They say horses are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet. But are they smart enough to teach us about intentional leadership, clear communication and constructive power? I chat with Schelli Whitehouse - an author, speaker and equine-assisted business coach. Horses are phenomenal facilitators to help teach genuine leadership skills. They can only trust and follow you when you have mastered the art of leading yourself.

We all have our own dreams and priorities for our money. Your money matters whether you are single and spontaneous, or you have a big family with lots of responsibilities. But no matter who you are, your money is LIMITED. I give you my top 5 tips to manage your monthly expenses (relatively painlessly) in order to live now and enjoy the future. You will thank me later!

If we just work harder and faster, we will deliver more impact, right? Well, Mary Baird-Wilcock is here to tell us that it’s a trap! Giving more is not always giving better! I chat with Mary, a creative entrepreneur and podcaster, who’s single goal in life is to help you simplify yours. And it all starts with the question, “what would THIS look like if this was SIMPLE?” Well, you can sign us up!

I always say that money should exist ONLY to manifest our biggest dreams. So many of us want to be our own boss, clear our debt, or go on that lifetime family holiday. But days turn into years. Dreams and aspirations turn into small talk and wishful thinking. There is always a fork in the road, a hiccup in the plan, or a setback in the life goal. So, how do we overcome life’s little curve balls and slay those dragons to live our best lives yet?

Where our attention goes, our energies flow! We all seem to be in a constant state of over-activated stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Having no time for any self-care has become the new normal. I chat with Dr Kelly about overcoming negativity biases to practice everyday self-care by considering ourselves in small ways during the day. And it all begins with how we talk to ourselves!
