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":"Why I'm shutting down a 7 figure (annually) program in my business","slug":"why-i-m-shutting-down-a-7-figure-annually-program-in-my-business","published_at":"2026-05-20T16:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/uncensored-money-393559/why-i-m-shutting-down-a-7-figure-annually-program-in-my-business","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/uncensored-money-393559","url":"https://uncensoredmoney.libsyn.com/why-im-shutting-down-a-7-figure-annually-program-in-my-business-0","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/uncensoredmoney/Ep_7-_Audio.mp3?dest-id=785226","summary":"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.
