About the Guest

Michelle Stone is the principal owner and lead financial adviser at Feel Good Financial Planning. With an extensive career spanning over 25 years in the financial services industry, Michelle is dedicated to helping individuals achieve financial freedom and happiness. She was recently awarded the prestigious 2024 Women in Wealth Awards, claiming the title of Financial Planner of the Year Overall. Michelle’s approach focuses on aligning financial goals with personal happiness and well-being, combining traditional financial tools with a deep understanding of her clients' personal development needs.



Key Takeaways:
Career Choices and Gender Pay Gap: Women often choose lower-paying careers like nursing and childcare over higher-paying roles. It's crucial to know your worth and negotiate effectively.
Financial Planning and Goals: Michelle emphasizes the importance of setting financial goals that align with personal happiness and using tools like salary sacrifice and risk assessment to achieve them.
Empowerment in Financial Decisions: Women should take control of their financial futures by educating themselves and seeking professional advice when necessary.
Addressing Superannuation: It's never too late to start focusing on your superannuation. Use free tools and calculators to understand your retirement needs and plan accordingly.
Assisting the Next Generation: Encouraging positive savings habits in children can set them up for financial success, including the possibility of rent-vesting as an alternative to traditional home ownership.



Notable Quotes:
"I don't play into this whole helplessness thing. If this is the rise of the matriarchy, we need to know our worth and not accept anything less."
"People want to wake up in the morning, put their feet on the floor, and be happy. Money is just a tool to achieve that."
"One of the things that women do really well is we have this beautiful sense of community, and we’re not afraid to ask questions."
"It's never too late to start focusing on your superannuation. You just have to start now."
"No one's going to come and save you. You are that person. If you want it, you have to make it happen."

She Wasn’t Born Yesterday tackles the many unique issues affecting women who are 40+ fabulous. No topic is too controversial!

She Wasn't Born Yesterday

How do you deal with the ‘pause’? How do you know you’re dating someone with a narcissistic personality disorder? How do you move on from divorce? Behind the scenes of a 40+ influencer and how to reverse the aging process, are just a few topics tackled.

SWBY features Janet Evans, an ex M&C Saatchi advertising creative and Dr Amelia Haines, a sexual and relationship therapist, who have written Australia’s first book on empty nest syndrome called Empty Next. A chance interview on radio station Hope 103.2 about the book inspired the podcast.

“So many unique issues affect women of our age, including empty nest syndrome, and nothing’s off limits in SWBY! We really dive headfirst into them, but hopefully with lightness and relevant wit where possible,” Janet commented. “We were incredibly lucky to chat to some very high profile guests, including CEOs of important organisations, who shared their expertise with us and our audience.”
