Money Maven is the straight‑talking money podcast for Sydney’s West – for tradies, professionals and small business owners who want to get ahead without giving up their life, family or sanity.

I’m Sheila – a Sydney‑educated Certified Financial Planner, Business Mentor and Money Coach – and I’ve seen first‑hand how money worries can hit anyone:

whether you’re on the tools, behind a desk, running a business or juggling work, kids and ageing parents. Different incomes, different backgrounds – same money stress.

Each week, we break down the real‑life money stuff no one explained properly at school:
How to get ahead on your income, whether you’re hourly, salaried or invoicing clients
Cashflow, debt and saving in a way that still lets you enjoy your life
Super, investing and building wealth in an Australian context – no Wall Street waffle
Small business and side‑hustle money – pricing, tax, cashflow and paying yourself properly

And because research shows Australian women retire with less super and report higher financial stress, we shine a spotlight on women and money – confidence, career breaks, caregiving, cultural expectations, and how to build wealth on your terms.

Born on community radio SWR 99.9 in Sydney’s West, Money Maven is now in your ears anytime, anywhere – always real, practical and judgement‑free.

If you’re ready to feel calmer about money, smarter with your choices and more confident about your financial future, this podcast is for you – no matter where you’re starting from or how much you earn.
