Hello! This week, I sit down with the incredible Liane Moriarty to talk about her brand-new, number-one bestselling book, Big Little Truths... the long-awaited sequel to Big Little Lies. We chat about what it was like picking up these iconic characters 10 years later, navigating life with teenagers, midlife perspective shifts, and the surreal feeling of seeing her words come to life on the global screen. Liane is so warm, funny, and refreshingly honest. This is a conversation you won't want to miss! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The government has officially banned checkout surcharges on credit cards, which means no more extra fees when you tap your card in store. But while that sounds like a win, it’s triggering a major shake-up behind the scenes that could quietly cost you money. In this episode, I sit down with financial educator and author Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon for a proper wallet audit. We unpack how merchants are pricing card fees into shelf prices, why banks are slashing credit card rewards, points, and travel insurance perks, and what you need to check on your own cards to ensure you're still getting real value.
