Ladies Finance Club - Get Rich

Financial Snacks - Should I invest or save

We talk a lot on Get Rich about how to prevent a financial crisis, building buffers, having the right insurance, and not leaving things until it’s too late.

In this episode, we apply that same thinking to something just as important: your health.

Because a medical crisis doesn’t just affect your body, it can impact your income, savings, super, career, and long-term financial security.

Molly is joined by women’s health GP Joanne Helen Mackson to create a practical, decade-by-decade health checklist for Australian women in their 30s, 40s and 50s, covering what to screen for, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to advocate for yourself in a system that hasn’t always been built with women in mind.

In this episode, we cover:
What health checks actually matter in your 30s, including cervical screening, skin checks, fertility conversations, mental health, and when period pain isn’t normal
What changes in your 40s, including the Medicare 45+ Health Assessment, perimenopause symptoms, bowel cancer screening from 45, and breast screening decisions
What to prioritise in your 50s, including mammograms, bowel screening, bone health, heart health, and chronic disease prevention
Why women often need to push harder for answers, and how to do that effectively
How prevention is one of the smartest financial and life investments you can make

This is the episode to listen to with your notes app open, then book the check-ups you’ve been putting off, and send to a friend who needs it too.

General information only. Always speak with your GP or healthcare professional about what’s right for you.

Health is wealth, and this episode shows you how to protect both.

Health Is Wealth: The Ultimate 2026 Women’s Health Checklist for Your 30s, 40s & 50s

It’s the start of a new year, which makes it the perfect time to reset your money, without the unrealistic January pressure.

We’re not talking extreme budgeting, never ordering Uber Eats again, or building the world’s most perfect spreadsheet.

In this episode, I’m joined by Gemma Mitchell to walk you through a simple, step-by-step money stocktake that gives you clarity, not guilt.

We cover how to:
✔️ Reset your money after life changes (or that quiet “something’s off” feeling)
✔️ Figure out exactly where you’re at, without overwhelm
✔️ Build realistic habits you can actually stick to past February

This is a calm, practical reset designed for real life, not perfection.

🎧 If you want your money to feel clearer, calmer, and more aligned in 2026, this episode is your starting point.

The Money Reset, How to Start 2026 Without Going Broke by Feb with Gemma Mitchell 

What happens when you grow up below the poverty line, build a high-paying career in finance and still find yourself drowning in debt?

In this powerful episode, Molly sits down with Annette, founder of Kids Get Money, to unpack how early money experiences shape our adult financial habits, and how she went from financial overwhelm to empowerment.

They discuss how generational money patterns are passed down, what to do when you're at breaking point financially, and why teaching kids about money from an early age is non-negotiable in today’s digital world.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed about your money situation or unsure how to break the cycle - for yourself or your kids, this episode is a must-listen.

What you’ll learn:
✔️ How childhood experiences shape your money mindset
✔️ The moment Annette hit financial rock bottom (while living in a million-dollar home)
✔️ Practical steps to rebuild your finances, no matter where you're starting from
✔️ Why money coaching is the missing link before financial advice
✔️ When and how to start teaching kids about money
✔️ How to talk about tap & go, Afterpay, and digital spending with kids
✔️ One simple weekly habit to help your kids get money smart

Whether you’re a mum, aunty, carer or just someone who wants the next generation to have a better relationship with money, this conversation will give you practical language, tools and a big dose of “you’re not alone”.
