Why do so many smart, capable women second-guess themselves?

In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with Caroline Brewin, former investment banker turned confidence coach and neuroscience expert, to unpack the science behind self-doubt and how to build real, lasting confidence.

After 18 years in investment banking, Caroline saw firsthand how talented women held themselves back, not because they weren’t capable, but because they didn’t back themselves. Now, through coaching and applied neuroscience, she helps women rewire their brains for confidence instead of fear.

In this episode, we cover:
Why your brain is wired for safety, not success
• Why women often have a louder inner critic
• Whether confidence is something you’re born with or can build
• Simple daily rituals to boost confidence fast
• How to stop overthinking and start taking action
• The link between money confidence and self-belief

If you’ve ever hesitated before speaking up in a meeting, asking for a pay rise, investing your money or making a big life decision, this episode is for you.

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a muscle you build.

How to Build Confidence as a Woman, The Neuroscience Behind Self-Doubt

Most people see insurance as boring, optional, or something they’ll deal with “later”.
But the truth is, insurance is one of the very few things that can completely change the trajectory of your life, not when things are going well, but when they aren’t.

In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin is joined by insurance advisor Trish Gregory from Hayes & Co Insurance Services, to break down what insurance actually does, the mistakes people don’t realise they’re making, and the real-life moments where having the right cover makes all the difference.

They unpack income protection, life insurance, total and permanent disability (TPD), and trauma insurance, why so many women are underinsured (even when they earn good money), and why waiting until something goes wrong is often the most expensive mistake of all.

Molly also shares why she only updated her own insurance recently, what she assumed was covered through her super, and the moment she realised she was only protected for two years, not decades.

This is a practical, honest conversation about protecting your income, your future, and your choices, before you need to.

In this episode you'll learn:
The real difference between life insurance, TPD, trauma, and income protection, and what each one actually covers
Why so many women are dangerously underinsured, even if they earn “good money”
The most common insurance mistakes people make, and why fixing them later can cost more
Real-life examples of when insurance becomes life-changing, not just “nice to have”
How insurance inside super works, and when it’s not enough on its own

When and how to get insurance set up properly, before health or life changes make it harder

The Insurance Mistake Most Women Don’t Realise They’re Making

Private health insurance in Australia can feel confusing, overwhelming, and expensive, especially when you’re not even sure what you’re paying for or what you need. 

In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin is joined by private health insurance expert Kat Day to break down when private health insurance is actually worth it for Australians, and when it genuinely isn’t.

We talk about why so many people are over-insured, how women end up paying for cover they’ll never use, and how insurance premiums quietly creep up year after year without anyone noticing.

In 15mins you’ll learn:
When private health insurance is worth it and when it’s not
The difference between hospital cover and extras (and which to prioritise)
How the Medicare levy surcharge actually works
Whether it’s cheaper to pay the levy or take out private cover
Why being on “gold” doesn’t mean better service
How often you should be reviewing your policy
The most common ways Australians overpay for health insurance
Why switching providers won’t reset your waiting periods
What ambulance cover actually looks like state by state



This is a practical, no-jargon episode designed to help you make smarter decisions, save money, and finally understand your private health insurance. Need to review yours?Click here.  https://calendly.com/d/cn5c-63k-ggq/switch-save-on-health-insurance-expert-review

Private Health Insurance in Australia: Is It Actually Worth It?

In this episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin sits down with finance journalist and creator Chris Kohler (700k+ on Instagram) to unpack the sneaky ways Australians lose money without even noticing. Based on Chris’s book How They Get You, this chat covers the everyday “money traps” hiding in plain sight, from subscription creep and food delivery markups, to loyalty programs that don’t truly reward you, drip pricing, and the psychology of tap-and-go spending.

You’ll learn how modern payments and marketing are designed to make spending feel painless, why “being loyal” can cost you more, and what small habits quietly blow up your budget over time. Chris also shares his simple “Hell Day” strategy, a practical system for negotiating bills and cutting recurring costs in one focused hit.

If you want to feel more confident, more in control, and way harder for companies to “get”, this episode is a must-listen.

PS – I get asked constantly for a good mortgage broker or financial adviser, so we finally did something about it.
