Ladies Finance Club - Get Rich A Year Without Shopping: What Emma Edwards Learned About Money, Confidence & Clothes
“I have nothing to wear.”
Sound familiar?
In this episode of Get Rich, Molly sits down with fan-favourite guest Emma Edwards (The Broke Generation) to unpack why so many of us overspend on clothes, still feel like we have nothing to wear, and how our wardrobes are deeply connected to confidence, identity and money.
Emma recently completed a full year without clothes shopping — no new, no second-hand, no rentals — an experiment that completely transformed her self-esteem, spending habits and style.
Together, Molly and Emma dive into:
✨ Why we keep buying clothes we don’t wear
✨ The $6,000 realisation: how much we actually spend
✨ The “fantasy self” hiding in your wardrobe
✨ What shopping has to do with body image
✨ How stopping shopping improved Emma’s confidence
✨ How to cut back on buying clothes without going cold-turkey
✨ Why we overspend on our kids’ wardrobes
✨ How to build a wardrobe you actually love
If you want to spend less, feel better in your clothes, and stop the endless “nothing to wear” spiral… this episode will change the way you shop forever.
