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”.
