Now serial entrepreneur, best selling author and financial educator as I talk all things money. Why a podcast about money? That's because as women we're choosing not to talk about it and when it comes to dealing with money - we're kind of sucking at it. There is a wage gap that exists not simply in the corporate world but in the world of small and medium business owners where women should be on par with men. There is a gap between men and women that we've tossed in the too hard basket for the moment in our superannuation funds. And there's a widening gap between those who own property and those who do not. And let's not even talk about the role money and power holds in our society. That's why ladies I believe finance is a feminist issue. It's time we started to uncensor money. Here you'll find chats about money where we throw off the notion that money is crass or uncomfortable. It's all about becoming comfortable bringing money into our everyday conversations and through it, figuring out what our own money story is and whether we might want to change it.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/uncensored-money-393559"},"episode":{"title":"If I Was in My 30s Again, Here's What I'd Do (Money Edition)","slug":"if-i-was-in-my-30s-again-here-s-what-i-d-do-money-edition","published_at":"2026-02-18T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/uncensored-money-393559/if-i-was-in-my-30s-again-here-s-what-i-d-do-money-edition","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/uncensored-money-393559","url":"https://uncensoredmoney.libsyn.com/if-i-was-in-my-30s-again-heres-what-id-do-money-edition","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/uncensoredmoney/Uncensored_Money_Season_8_Episode_2_Audio.mp3?dest-id=785226","summary":"Your 30s are loud. Careers accelerate. Babies arrive (or don't ). Relationships change. Houses get bought. Everyone looks like they've figured it out and suddenly money decisions feel heavier and more permanent. In this episode, Mel and Lawsie talk about the decade where momentum matters more than perfection. Because wealth in your 30s isn't built through dramatic moves. It's built through consistent ones… and by refusing to compare your life to someone else's highlight reel. We cover: – why small, boring investing still wins (even now) – the super conversation couples avoid and why women pay for it later – the insurance decisions that need to happen before life happens – avoiding the \"dream home\" golden handcuffs – lifestyle creep, pay rises and actually keeping your extra income – and the two habits quietly sabotaging women's finances: comparing and pressing pause This episode is for women earning well and women rebuilding because both can feel behind for different reasons . You're not late. You just need to start moving.
