Holly Mackay: Making Financial Advice More Human

“You are good enough. You do know enough. You just need to start.”

For the final episode in our summer series, we’re joined by the brilliant and refreshingly honest Holly Mackay, CEO of Boring Money, to talk about the real barriers to financial confidence — and why money is never just about the numbers.

We dive into: – Why women still feel “rubbish with money” – The behavioural edge female investors may have (even if they don’t know it) – Why “just doing nothing” might be the best investment strategy – The power of empathy in advice – And how to make financial planning feel less like a private club

Holly also shares her own story — from $8.50/hour unit pricing in Australia to becoming one of the most trusted voices in UK consumer finance. It’s candid, funny, and deeply human.

Whether you're a financial professional, a reluctant investor, or simply someone trying to make better decisions for a longer life — this one’s for you.
