Money and Me: Is it too late to think about healthcare insurance for my elderly parents?

A finance professional loses S$1.2 million.

Another woman loses S$330,000 to someone she thought cared about her.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this deeply personal conversation explores the emotional roots of financial vulnerability - why fear, loneliness, and stress can lead more of us to defer to authority or silence our own intuition in moments where we must need to make good decisions or face big losses. 

Drawing from real scam cases and the memoir of Vanderbilt heiress Belle Burden, Michelle examines the hidden ways we can disengage from financial power and how to get that control back.
