I wasn’t sure what I was reading so I read it again and as I did, a million emotions rushed through my body - disbelief, anger, panic …
I’d lost jobs before but I was younger then and it didn’t have the same impact as it does when you’re in your 50’s.
In one fell swoop, I’d just lost my only 2 ways of making money. WTF was I going to do now? Who is going to hire me? I don’t want a 9-5 job but I can’t keep coaching the way I had been - for reasons I won’t get into, that door was slammed shut.
Fortunately I have my husband, Matt, and we have some savings so while it wasn’t the disaster it could have been, it also gave me a really big wake up call …
What if I didn’t have Matt?
What if something happens to him and he can’t work?
What if his income stopped too?
Then where would we be?
Women (55+) experiencing homelessness has jumped by over 30% in the past decade; this is often because they simply don’t have enough savings or superannuation to fall back on
Women who go through a divorce often see their income drop by about 20%, which can be a real blow, especially if you’re already trying to catch up
34% of single women over 60 in Australia are living in poverty largely due to lower lifetime earnings and smaller super balances, which make us more vulnerable during retirement
With any luck, these statistics will never apply to you.
But the truth is, they could.
So easily this could have been my reality, too. That email was a turning point in more ways than one.
I vowed to never allow myself to be put in that position again, and began looking for ways to build assets and create a passive income that doesn’t rely on anyone else. I wanted peace of mind—to know that I would be better than "just ok"—no matter what life throws my way.
And if you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What would I do if the worst happened?”—you need to do that too.
Let’s take control of our futures and make sure we’re never left in an “Oh F**K!” moment again. You deserve financial security—without the panic 😊
We’re taught at school to get good grades, find a good paying job and stay there till we die. We were never really taught how to make money work FOR us, only how WE have to work for it.
That secret seemed to be reserved for the wealthy.
And what’s even scarier is that it wasn’t even that long ago that wives and mothers were still expected to stay at home - nothing more, nothing less.
Women were never encouraged to know about money, to talk about money (some of us still avoid it like the plague), or to aspire to have money. Our relationship with it is somewhat estranged … distant and awkward to say the least.
Well, these days we’re expected to work full time, raise the kids, be a good wife, keep the house spotless, stay fit, squeeze in self-care, save money, and somehow just “know” how to manage our finances… But where’s the part where we actually learn about building wealth and gaining real financial independence?
We’re not living in “Bridgerton” anymore …
Times have well and truly changed (thank goodness!) and it’s about time our conversations around money and independence do too
For you, your family, your kids. It’s a means to help the people you love, and strangers (if you want to), just because you can.
It's not scary, it’s not “evil”, it’s not reserved for the “select few”, it's just that we’ve never really been taught how to make it work for us.
That's the question I had (and I’m sure I’m not alone in asking it) — and the universe delivered the answer. 🙂
For the first time in a long time, I feel a genuine sense of peace when I think about money. I can finally see how to make it work for us and support the life we want, instead of feeling like a constant battle. The dreams I used to have but never believed could happen now seem possible. We have a clear path to everything we’ve always wanted, not just for us, but for our kids too.
And now … I’m on a mission to help as many women as I can:
✅ Change their relationship with money
✅ Understand how it works
✅ And uncover the secret that the 1 percenters know
But this is about so much more than just financial stability.
Money can alleviate so much stress in our lives and whilst it doesn't buy happiness, it certainly makes life easier.
It’s about giving your kids a helping hand to move into their own home (and, let’s be honest, out of yours 😉).
It’s about giving women who are stuck in relationships because they can't afford to move out, and those who are still struggling to get ahead long after a relationship has ended, a solution that will change their lives for the better.
This is for ALL women who want and deserve more control and stability in their lives.
We’ve grown up being told to be polite and not talk about finances (“don’t you worry your pretty little head”…. 😡), or we feel like we don’t know enough about it to be confident. If you’re like me, you’d know that feeling in the pit of your stomach, that little knot of anxiety every time you get a bill, or the times when you’re not quite sure what the future holds. It’s not a nice feeling 😟
But what if you flipped the script?
✅ What if money wasn’t a source of stress, but instead, something that made you feel empowered and in control?
✅ What if talking about money DIDN’T make you uncomfortable?
✅ What if, instead of shying away from the subject, you faced it head-on … and even felt good about it?
From earning less to juggling all the responsibilities at home and work, to just not having had the education or the confidence to handle it all. It’s exhausting! But let’s push that aside for a second and imagine something different.
Imagine this:
✔️ What if you knew exactly where your money was going
✔️ What if you had a little stash set aside for emergencies
✔️ What if you were actually growing your wealth—not just getting by
✔️ What if you didn’t have to rely on anyone else for financial security, because you’ve built your own foundation
✔️ What if you made decisions about your money with confidence, whether it’s investing, saving, or spending a little extra on something just because you want to
How freeing would that feel? No more second-guessing whether you can afford a holiday, no more stress over unexpected bills, and no more lying awake at night wondering if your future is secure.
When you’re in control of your money, life opens up. You can plan for those big dreams, take spontaneous trips, or just have peace of mind knowing you’re covered no matter what. And the best part? You don’t need to be a financial genius to get there—you just need the right tools, a little bit of knowledge, and the confidence to take charge.
So, let’s take the fear and the frustration out of money, and replace it with excitement and empowerment. It’s not too late to feel in control. It’s not too late to build the future you want. And it’s definitely not too late to start feeling good about your money.
ASSETS put money in your pocket
LIABILITIES take money out of your pocket
Many people think their house is an asset. But if it’s costing you money every month (whether that's in mortgage payments, rates, maintenance, etc) without generating income, it’s actually a liability.
An asset is something that generates income for you, even when you're not actively involved. You take an action once and continue to receive ongoing payments.
For example:
✅ Positively geared rental properties
✅ Royalties from music, books, IP, or movies
✅ Mortgage brokers receive trailing commissions for the life of the loan
✅ Dividends from stocks
All of these examples continue to put money in your pocket without ongoing effort from you.
Think of assets like planting a tree. Over time, it grows and starts bearing fruit, giving you something to harvest year after year. Liabilities? They’re like a tree that needs constant watering and maintenance but never produces any fruit.
This is where I learnt about assets and how they’re the secret to creating wealth. One of the ways I do that is by minting cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin.
It’s important to note here that I am not a financial planner and nothing I’m sharing with you is financial advice; it’s simply showing you one way to create wealth that’s working for me.
The cryptocurrency space can be scary; I get it. It’s that fear of the unknown - and we always fear what we don’t understand. It’s kind of like when the internet first came to be; a lot of people avoided it because they didn’t understand it and bought into the fear mongering that happens with pretty much everything that’s new. But once they took the time to educate themselves, they learnt how to embrace it and how to make money from it … those that didn’t were left behind to play catch up.
People lose money in crypto due to a lack of education, not understanding how it works, and poor advice. Like anything you need to educate yourself - that doesn’t mean you have to get a degree but it does mean having a basic understanding. And you want to be sure that you’re taking advice from people who are actually making money, not just talking about it in theory.
Tips:
Work with people you know and can trust
Take advice from people who are actually doing what you they’re teaching AND are making money consistently
Never click on links that have come from anyone you don’t know
Only use reputable platforms
Keep your passwords for your decentralised wallets safe and off your computer (millions of dollars in crypto have been “lost” because people have misplaced their seed phrases)
View crypto as a long term investment (yes you can buy and sell as a trader but you need to make sure you really know what you’re doing to be successful at this strategy)
Don’t the fear of losing money close down your mind.
I hate losing money, just like everyone else but I don’t let the fear of it happening stop me from having a go.
Years ago, we lost a lot of money in a botched renovation project, and yes whilst it hurt, we learnt a LOT from that experience. Lots of people make lots of money flipping houses … the reason we didn’t wasn’t because renovating houses is a “bad” idea, it was because we weren’t prepared. We didn’t educate ourselves enough and we didn’t have a clear plan. In hindsight there was so much we didn’t know that we didn’t know, and if we were to go down that path again, there’s so much we’d do differently to ensure it turned out better!
Every “failure” is a chance to learn, grow and expand.
Cryptocurrency operates on a decentralised network which makes it much safer than our current centralised fiat system (aka our current banking system or government controlled databases).
It uses blockchain technology that is distributed across thousands of nodes worldwide to validate transactions which means there’s no single point of failure and even if one node is compromised, the rest of the network remains intact. This also makes it virtually impossible to hack (unlike centralised systems).
Once records are validated on the blockchain, they cannot be altered or deleted. This level of transparency reduces fraud and ensures data integrity.
It eliminates the middleman, which eliminates breaches or corruption AND you have direct control over your money which eliminates the risk of losing money due to a bank collapse or government intervention.
Every transaction is secured using advanced cryptography. Wallets use private keys (that YOU hold) which are unique and mathematically impossible to guess.
Volatility is how much and how quickly the price of something goes up and down. The more dramatic the price changes, the more volatile it is.
Some assets, like a savings account are steady and predictable - what you see is what you get. Others, like Bitcoin, have more ups and downs, but these swings also create opportunities for higher growth.
Think of volatility like the waves at the beach:
A calm sea is like a low-volatility investment, such as a government bond. The water barely moves, and you can float without much worry. But you’re not going anywhere fast.
A choppy sea with big waves is like Bitcoin or the stock market. It can feel chaotic and unpredictable, but with the right strategy—like a sturdy surfboard and balance—you can ride the waves and go far.
The key is to stay calm, understand the tides, and not panic if a wave knocks you off temporarily. The best surfers know it’s about staying in the water and waiting for the big ride.
Volatility might seem intimidating, but with patience and the right perspective, it can lead to incredible rewards over time.
Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins
Unlike the dollar that can lose value over time due to inflation (especially when governments print more money) Bitcoin is like a rare vintage wine. There’s only so much to go around, and as more people want it, its value increases.
Bitcoin operates on a decentralised network
A decentralised network means there’s no central authority (like a government or bank) controlling it. Instead, transactions are verified by a global network of computers, making it transparent, secure, and resistant to manipulation.
Imagine a community garden where everyone keeps an eye on the plants instead of a single gardener. Each person in the community has a list of who planted what and when, so no one can secretly take more than their share or claim someone else's work. That’s how Bitcoin’s decentralised system works - it’s managed by everyone, not a single person or institution, making it fair and transparent.
As more people, businesses, and institutions start using Bitcoin, its value and credibility grow. Increased adoption creates demand, which often leads to higher prices.
Think of Bitcoin like email in the early days. At first, only a few people used it, and many were sceptical. But as more people and businesses adopted it, email became essential and valuable. Similarly, as Bitcoin becomes more widely accepted, its utility and demand grow, making it more valuable over time.
Bitcoin is often compared to gold because it’s a way to preserve wealth over time. While inflation erodes the value of traditional money, Bitcoin’s scarcity and decentralised nature make it a solid option for holding value in the long term.
Imagine you have a treasure chest to store your wealth. If you fill it with cash, its value might shrink over time because inflation eats away at what your money can buy. But if you fill it with gold or something scarce like Bitcoin, the value is more likely to hold steady (or even grow) because it’s protected from inflation and scarcity increases its worth.
… which of course you can, but that can add up fast.
If you had an apple tree growing in your backyard, and year after year it produced big juicy apples, you wouldn’t need to buy any from the store, would you.
Instead of constantly spending money to buy more, what if you were able to accumulate Bitcoin daily - without repeatedly reaching into your pocket - and your Bitcoin balance steadily grew over time?
