Show Notes
This season we're diving into the hot topics and issues that we think you need to know about when it comes to your money. Today we're talking about the big impact a decade can really have on your finances. Starting off, Mel asks the question, how old you'll be in 10 years time. For some of you it's a number you're itching to get to, while for others that number can be confronting. Society today is all about living in the moment, it's built on ageism, valuing youth and beauty and as a result for so many women, looking ahead can be daunting at best, and frightening at worst. While we can't impact how you feel about that age physically, we can help you financially and emotionally, by helping you understand the big impact you can have on your finances in just a decade. So, if you're thinking of that age you'll be and feeling a little nervous for her, this is the episode for you to tune into.

Your New Year's resolutions were never going to work, and it's not because you're lazy. You made them drunk on champagne and optimism, on behalf of a version of you with far more bandwidth than you actually have on a wet Tuesday in February.
Nobody in finance talks about this. How trauma responses — freeze, flight, fight, fawn — show up in your financial decisions. And what they're actually costing you. In this episode I share something personal: I have PTSD from experiences in my teenage years. And for a long time I didn't connect that to my finances. Looking back — it was there in everything. This episode covers: — What a trauma response actually is (and why it's not what most people think) — How freeze, flight, fight and fawn show up specifically in financial behaviour — The fawn response — the one that costs women the most and gets talked about the least — Three practical financial steps to take alongside therapy — Why you cannot separate your nervous system from your bank account If you're working through difficult experiences, please reach out to a qualified therapist. — General Advice Warning: This podcast contains general information only and does not take into account your personal circumstances, objectives or needs.

After more than a decade, 6,000+ women and many of their partners, and more financial transformations than we can count, Mel is closing the My Financial Adulting Plan. For good. Yes, she's closing rather than selling her continuing her 7 figure business. You might think she's crazy (she does a little too, that's OK.) But in this episode, Lawsie turns the microphone around and asks Mel the questions everyone has been too polite to ask. Why? What did it cost her personally to keep going? Was there a moment she almost changed her mind? And what does she hope the 6,000+ women who've been through MFAP actually walk away with? This is an honest, unscripted conversation between two people who built something together and are figuring out in real time what it means to close it. No sales script. No polished answers. Just Mel and Lawsie the way you love them. If MFAP has ever been on your radar, there are two rounds left. This conversation is the best reason to stop waiting.
