The Monthly Wrap: September

This week I'm hitting replay on an episode from my The Wardrobe Project mini series last year! The year I chose not to buy clothes was one of the most transformative things I ever did for my confidence and my finances, and I'm telling all in this episode. 

Welcome back to episode 3 of The Wardrobe Project mini series! For our final episode I'm talking about the other side of the coin: what happens when you complete a year long experiment to not buy a single item of clothing? How does it feel? Did anything change? And what is life like on the other side of an obsession with clothes? I tell all in this final episode of the series.

4 psychological reasons you cant stop spending money (and what to do about it)

16 things I did to prepare my finances for parenthood part 2

16 things I did to prepare my finances for parenthood, part 1

In this episode, I reflect on five things I did around five years ago that are paying off in a big way now — from scrappy investing beginnings to mindset shifts that changed everything. It's a reminder that small, imperfect actions compound over time in ways you simply can't see when you're in the thick of it.

Key takeaways:
Starting to invest with just $5 a week can grow into something significant — consistency beats waiting for the "perfect" moment
Paying off debt isn't just about clearing a balance; it builds the behavioural habits that fund every financial goal that comes after
Delaying a lifestyle upgrade by even one or two years can mean making the move from a far stronger financial foundation
Staying in a "comfortable" job can be just as costly as staying in a bad one 
Letting go of a victim mindset around money (like "I just got unlucky") is what opens the door to actually changing your situation
The hardest part of any financial goal is the early stages — but looking back is one of the best tools for staying motivated to keep going.

In this episode I'm joined by Trish Gregory from our new podcast partner, Hayes & Co, to talk all things personal insurances. Insurance is one of the less sexy sides of personal finance, but it can actually have a profound impact on your financial future. 

In this episode we talk about the role of insurance in building your financial confidence, the types of insurance you can get and what it can offer, and how to take insurance matters out of the too hard basket.
