Anytime I've ever wanted to change anything in my life, I've needed a goal to drive me and keep me motivated. One of my first grand plans was to buy a property. Actually, not just one. I pictured myself as a property mogul and imagined owning a dozen properties. I subscribed to Australian Property Investor magazine and each month saw another 20-something year old [...]
The Australian property market has seen massive changes over the past two years. The greatest of which was the record rise in housing values. According to Australia's leading property researcher, CoreLogic, housing values rose 24.6% between the end of March 2020 and February 2022. This is great news for those who already own property, but not so great for first home buyers or those [...]
I'm talking to a lot of people who feel that they're back in a state of overwhelm. There is just so much going on at home and in the rest of the world that is so worrying and it's sometimes hard to not feel the impact. It's also sometimes hard to complain about the little things when there's so much big stuff going on. [...]
As a woman on a mission to empower women to take control of their money and mortgage so they can build a financially fantastic future, International Women's Day is really a day to celebrate. It's a day to look at how far we've come and also to think about how far we have left to go. As a whole, we're in a much better [...]

Since Covid hit and brought with it the opening up of options to work from home and the realignment of many of our values, Aussies are having a love affair with regional areas. And I totally get it! CoreLogic’s quarterly Regional Market Update shows Australia’s 25 largest non-capital city regions continued to achieve unprecedented increases in value. Over the 12 months to January 2022, [...]
One of the biggest misperceptions that we have is that the more we earn, the more we’ll have. Sadly, this isn’t always right and it ends up being “the more we earn, the more we spend”. It’s a little trick that our mind often plays on us that when we have “extra”, we can afford it, or you can reward yourself for working harder [...]
I was going to write about Ash Barty this week as her performance at the Australian Open was phenomenal - but then along came the Winter Olympics and the snowboarders competing in the women’s slopestyle final. They truly blew me away. Every single one of them. Not only did they display amazing athleticism, skill, daring and lots of death defying tricks, but their display [...]
2022 hasn't really started off as planned, has it. But there is a really good lesson we can learn from all this and that is that we have a choice. We can either get caught up in the negatives, the fear and concerns or we can focus on what we want, where we're heading and the plans we have. And the latter is my [...]
Money in relationships can be a maker or breaker. It can be a real challenge when long held beliefs around money creep into a relationship. As a couple you may have invested a lot of time and effort into making the money side of the relationship work. It can become difficult when your values are not aligned. When one of you lives in the [...]
