What's the best thing you can do for your child's financial future and where do you even begin?

In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with financial advisor and LFC favourite Dawn Thomas to get into one of the most important (and most underrated) conversations we can have as parents: how to raise a financially confident kid. And yes, she does it while breastfeeding a newborn, because that's just the season of life we're in right now.

Whether you've been wondering how to talk to your kids about money without passing on your own stress, or you're not sure how to explain investing to a teenager, this episode is packed with practical, real-talk advice straight from a mum who also happens to be a financial advisor.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your money behaviours matter more than any lesson you'll ever teach
• The exact phrases to swap out when your kid asks for something you don't want to buy
• How to talk to your children about cost-of-living pressure without creating money anxiety
• Why delayed gratification is one of the greatest financial gifts you can give your kids
• The tax traps Australian parents hit when investing in their child's name
• Why investment bonds and education bonds can be a smarter option than a kids' share account
• Why letting your kids experience financial "failure" is actually a good thing
• What family financial socialisation is and why it starts earlier than you think

Perfect for: Australian mums with kids of any age, women who want to break generational money cycles, and anyone who's ever said "we can't afford that" and wondered if there's a better way.

The biggest takeaway from this episode? You don't need to be a financial expert to raise a money-smart kid, you just need to start the conversation. 🎧
