Show Notes
Do the words ‘budget’, ‘tax’ and ‘insurance’ make you cringe? Do you know how much super you have? Why does it matter NOW? Should you go back to work full time after Mat leave? Many of us focus on getting physically fit and mentally fit, but are you financially fit?
Taking control of our financial future is more important now than ever. Women live longer than men. We spend more time out of the workforce caring for others. Though women access financial advice 40% less than men do. It’s delivered by people who talk in a language we don’t understand. It can be expensive and intimidating. There has been more awareness and discussion around women’s economic security, issues of childcare and domestic violence support, but we still have a long way to go. We need to empower women to make great financial choices to be able to look after themselves in the future.
Being informed about our money means we can make choices that allow us to be financially independent and have more freedom in our lives. Mastering our money doesn’t have to be complicated and overwhelming. This episode with Trenna Probert, Founder and CEO of Super Fierce – a powerful movement aiming to empower women to control their financial future and support marginalised women in Australia - is about loving yourself enough to prioritise your financial future, so you can live the life you dream! I am SUPER fortunate to have been able to pick her incredible brain and share with you her insights as to why what we do with our money right now, really makes a difference.
