Mel Browne | The Money Moves Every Woman Needs to Know

If you think financial planning is boring, intimidating, or only for men in suits—think again. These are the money moves every woman needs to know.

In this episode of the Power of Women podcast, financial educator and bestselling author Mel Browne joins Di Gillett to break down smart, accessible wealth-building strategies every woman should be using—especially in midlife.

You’ll learn:

  • Why super splitting could be your most underused financial advantage
  • How to find $10K in 12 months without getting a second job
  • Why emotional investing impacts men more than women (and what to do about it)
  • How to invest confidently—without becoming a finance expert
  • What financial agency really means
  • How to shift the money conversation in your relationship from mine to ours

This is what Mel said about:

  1. Super splitting and financial fairness:

“Super splitting is really, really easy… It’s simply your partner choosing to split up to 85% of their previous year’s super with you… because if I’m staying home, then it should just be that I get to enjoy some of your super as well.”

  1. Why emotional decisions can derail financial futures:

“So much of what we do financially is emotional… and my concern for too many women today is they’re making those emotional decisions, but they don’t know how to rebuild as a consequence.”

  1. Ageism and women’s financial confidence:

“I hear that every day from women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s—‘I don’t have time to catch up.’ And yet I believe it’s this ageism that we have as women.”

Ep.21 Julie Otter | Timing Is Everything: …in business & a pandemic

Ep.21 Julie Otter | Timing Is Everything: …in business & a pandemic

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di connects with Julie Otter, co-Founder of Otter Craft Distilling (OCD) to discuss how she and the business survived the pandemic. Having launched OCD only five months before COVID hit, they were left out in the cold when it came to Government support. Timing is everything and things aren’t always fair and it also appears, are not always equal in business. Julie shares candidly how tough it was and how to stay strong when it feels like the ground is shifting under your feet. She also shares insights around when your team are also your family, and why it is still super important to hold each other accountable. I’m guessing though, that the boardroom bar-fridge is very well stocked.

Ep.20 Julia Scott | Visibility To Your Household Finances Is Critical

Ep.20 Julia Scott | Visibility To Your Household Finances Is Critical

If you were to ask yourself or friends in your inner circle, do you have visibility to the household finances, what would their answer be? On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast Di gets enlightened by wealth coach, Julia Scott, and if your answer to the aforementioned question is “No”, then you need to listen too. Julia was an Accountant and wealth management expert who trusted her husband to manage their family finances. Just as many of us do, right? Well as it turned out, she was wrong. It wasn’t until her marriage broke down that she discovered her trust was misplaced. She was cut off financially and left living on welfare. Motivated by this experience and putting her professional skills to work, today, Julia is a successful self-made woman, and she has made it her business to help others achieve the same in building their own financial security.
