Raising Money-Smart Kids & Feeling Stuck in a Joint Mortgage

What do you do when your financial goals clash with the people closest to you? This week, we’re diving into the messy, emotional side of shared finances, from property co-ownership drama to parenting across two households with totally different money vibes.

When the Unimaginable Happens

What happens when life changes in an instant, and the world expects you to carry on? This week’s Money Diarist had everything in motion: a new home with a pool, $40k in savings, a baby on the way, and a backyard wedding just around the corner. But days before she was meant to walk down the aisle, she faced the unimaginable: her daughter was stillborn. In this deeply personal and courageous conversation, she opens up about what came next; grappling with grief, navigating systems that weren’t built for moments like this, and trying to stay afloat when everything felt like it was sinking. From Centrelink confusion and being forced back to work too soon, to finding moments of light in Taylor Swift concerts, this is a story of love, loss, and learning how to begin again. Content warning: This episode contains discussion of stillbirth, grief, and pregnancy loss. If this topic is sensitive for you, please take care when listening or skip this one altogether. For support, you can contact Red Nose Grief and Loss on 1300 308 307, which offers 24/7 bereavement care and specialised support for anyone affected by miscarriage or stillbirth.
