S2 E9: International Women's Day - where are we?

In this special episode, I delved into various important topics surrounding women's empowerment and gender equality.
I began by acknowledging and celebrating the incredible women around the world, while also highlighting the need for discussions on pressing issues such as the gender pay gap and domestic violence. I want us to be having more conversations about the interconnectedness between financial freedom and domestic violence, stressing the importance of women having control over their finances to escape abusive situations.
I shared a powerful example of Jackie O, a trailblazing woman in the media industry, who took a stand against a gender pay gap at her workplace, showcasing the impact of speaking out against inequality. I urged celebrities and individuals in positions of influence to advocate for gender equality and financial empowerment.
Throughout the episode, I emphasized the need for women to be represented in leadership positions, politics, and sports, challenging the outdated notion that women must choose between family and career. I highlighted the positive shift towards paternity leave and increased involvement of men in caregiving roles, promoting a more balanced and supportive environment for all.
I paid tribute to the fearless women who paved the way for future generations, acknowledging their contributions and leadership. I encouraged listeners to embrace their own awesomeness and continue the journey towards gender equality and empowerment.
Overall, the episode served as a call to action for individuals to advocate for gender equality, challenge societal norms, and celebrate the achievements of women past, present, and future. Happy International Women's Day!

S2 E5: Finding Financial Freedom

Hey there! Welcome to another episode of the Happy Money Journey podcast. I'm your host, Phoebe Blamey, and I'm thrilled to have you here with me today. In this episode, we're going to dive deep into the concept of financial freedom and explore how we can take control of our money to achieve it.
Financial freedom means different things to different people. For some, it's about meeting their financial goals or having a passive income that allows them to do whatever they want. Others see it as the ability to make choices with their money and not be constrained by financial limitations. During a dinner conversation with friends, I discovered that financial freedom can even be as simple as being able to go on holidays or dine out without worrying about the cost.
I came across a powerful quote that resonated with me: "Money can buy you happiness if you know what to do with it." This quote challenged the common belief that money is the root of all evil or that it can't bring happiness. It made me realize that our mindset and how we use our money play a significant role in our financial freedom.
However, there are societal stereotypes and gender biases that still affect our relationship with money. Despite 54% of Australian households having women as the main breadwinners, women are often portrayed in financial ads as frivolous spenders who lack financial knowledge. On the other hand, men are expected to be the providers and can face divorce if they are not in full-time work. These stereotypes need to be challenged and changed.
To achieve financial freedom, we need to take certain actions. Here are ten steps to get started:
Understand your thoughts: Examine your money scripts and how they impact your financial outcomes.
Practice gratitude: Be grateful for what you have, shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.
Change your language: Avoid negative statements about money and focus on positive affirmations.
Take responsibility: Own your money and make conscious decisions about how you use it.
Track your spending: Understand where your money goes and identify areas where you can make changes.
Cut unnecessary expenses: Avoid small, frequent purchases that add up over time.
Set up accounts for success: Separate your spending money from your bills and savings to have a clear financial picture.
Manage your debt: Take control of your debts and create a plan to pay them off.
Act now for your future: Start saving for retirement or investing a little extra each month.
Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries around your money and avoid falling into unspoken agreements.
The most important step you can take right now is to have a deep dive into your spending. By examining your bank statements and identifying patterns, you can make small changes that will have a big impact on your financial freedom.
If you're looking for more guidance and support, check out our Mini Money Makeover course. It covers all the topics we discussed today, including mindset, budgeting, debt management, and creating a vision for your financial future.
Remember, achieving financial freedom is not something that happens by chance. It requires taking control of your money and making intentional choices. So, let's start this journey together and enjoy the process of creating a happier and more financially secure life.
Thank you for tuning in to this episode. Have a fantastic week, and remember to embrace your own Happy Money Journey!

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.
