My Happy Money Journey: money for mid life women with Phoebe Blamey

S2 E2: How to have tough (money) conversations

How do we then communicate that with our partners when it comes to money? These wonderful people are  part of our lives and can be part of our beautiful vision for our future and ourselves, unless of course we don't have conversations where we express our needs!!  So I thought that this week we might talk about putting our vision into action with a partner, but also having some of those really difficult and  confronting money conversations.

Episode 34: Creating your vision for 2024

The New Year absolutely crept up on us so you might be feeling a little unprepared, but there is no time like the present to create a vision for your year ahead! Starting your year with resolutions and intentions helps us to make good decisions about our future, and more importantly, ensures our journey aligns with our dreams. But how do we make sure we’re setting a real intention and not just a wishy-washy New Year’s resolution? This week we are going to show yu how to create your own VISION and ACTIONS!!!

Episode 32 How to connect at Christmas without going broke

Episode 31 How to really get on top of your spending

Starting is the hardest part. Know that the sooner you build these foundations the closer you are to financial freedom. So grab your latest paycheck, write down your priorities, and make a plan.
Take time out and write down what matters to you. Then put these values in order of most importance. Be honest with yourself and asses for spending your money on really means for you. This could be your love for your home and being surrounded by art and indoor plants, so paying your rent or mortgage, home repairs and improvements, and even bills are important to you. 

Episode 30 How to really get the best out of sales

So I was thinking about sales…as my swag is getting delivered from Black Friday and Cyber Monday
You may notice Black Friday sales have already ‘started’. In some cases, they have. But in other cases (most) these are just ways to get you to panic buy! (guilty) – a lot of retailers will further markdown their ‘Black Friday’ items to get rid of any stock that will be taking up space for new summer stock.
So are these retailers just clearing out the stuff they know won’t last another season or is a genuine bargin…and how can you tell?

Episode 29 Are you ready for a sea change

Is anyone else old enough to remember SeaChange – where ultra stressed workaholic Laura Gibson moves from high living corporate life to the tiny town of Pearl Bay – where the bridge is down and the town is beautifully cut off from the world? It was my dream to leave the rat race behind and move to a fun little town like Pearl Bay…and you know what – since COVID-19 with the whole trend of flexible work and work from home it became a real possibility for people. Think of a place about an hour and a half from your capital city and you will see the rush of people heading for a tree or sea change. I will show you how o make this dream your reality

Episode 28 - Microinvesting

So, what is Micro investing you ask? It’s super small amounts of money invested over time. It makes the barrier to entering the investment industry extremely low with the idea that anyone should be able to invest, you don’t have to be a millionaire. You don’t have to have $1000s or even $100s, a few dollars can accumulate and give you a great taste of investing. Find out more at phoebeblamey.com.au

Episode 26 The big unexpected

We experience difficulties where we are not in control of the changes. It can happen quickly, almost overnight, you can split up from a relationship, your business can go bad, or you can lose your job. There are a hundred things that can happen that force you to pivot your life. Often, we see it as a negative, getting hung up in the past where it affects your future, but worse, we can feel trapped in the present moment unable to see the future.  
Getting out of the space of being angry or anxious and moving towards acknowledgement is difficult but it is the first step towards a positive outlook towards change. 

Episode 25 - How to make a big career leap

Talking career shifts, leaps, you name it. We all come to these crossroads in our lives and we often feel unmotivated, scared or even pressured to make changes. As I was researching the topic of career change, I spoke to a few women who made change. It was profoundly noted that this change is stressful and difficult in many ways. They’ve shifted from being comfortable and happy to daring greatly and getting out of their comfort zone, taking a risk to grow in attempt to feel accomplished and fulfilled. Jeff Bezos, who started Amazon, left his million dollar hedge fund job to start an online book store as he wanted to live a life with no regrets. Like Jeff, we can all take a look ahead at our 80 year old selves and make changes to live out our passions.
