Interest rates are rising again — and for many homeowners, it’s starting to feel overwhelming.

But instead of panicking, what should you actually be doing right now? Fix your rates? Refinance? Review? Or accelerate your repayments?

In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, Canna Campbell sits down with senior mortgage broker Adam McCabe from Blue Lantern to break down exactly how to navigate rising interest rates with clarity and confidence.

This is not about fear — it’s about being informed, proactive, and strategic. Please note that this was recording prior to last week’s rate rises, however this information is still INVALUABLE!

Together, they cover:

✨ What rising interest rates really mean for your mortgage

✨ The biggest mistakes homeowners are making right now

✨ How to check if you’re still on a competitive rate

✨ When (and how) to refinance or renegotiate or even fix!

✨ What a “mortgage health check” actually involves

✨ How to protect your cashflow and reduce financial stress

✨ The role of buffers, offsets, and smarter loan structuring

✨ Why doing nothing could be costing you more than you realise

Whether you’re feeling the pressure already or simply want to stay one step ahead, this episode will give you the tools to make calm, confident financial decisions in a changing rate environment.
