In this engaging discussion, Katy Gallagher, Australia's Finance Minister and advocate for women's economic equality, breaks down the latest federal budget. She explains HECS indexation changes and introduces rent relief and energy bill support. The talk dives into women's health funding, from contraception to menopause therapies, and how a $27 billion deficit isn't entirely bad news. Katy addresses cost-of-living concerns and manages inflation while highlighting the importance of strategic investments. It's a no-nonsense approach to understanding how these changes affect everyday Australians.

This week’s diarist takes us inside a financial journey that will feel very familiar to anyone who’s ever used retail therapy to escape stress. From using Buy Now Pay Later for festival outfits and groceries to hiding debt from her partner (who works in finance, by the way), she found herself in a spiral of spending and shame and didn’t feel like she could tell anyone. That is, until one unexpected lunch conversation changed everything. What followed was a slow and steady journey out of debt, toward confidence, clarity, and a house deposit she once thought was impossible. She’s now paid off $5,000 in debt, saved over $15,000, and learned how to manage spending urges without giving up the things she loves. This episode is for anyone who’s ever used online shopping as a coping mechanism, avoided checking their balance, or felt like they’d already stuffed it.

Scared to start investing because you don’t want to mess it up? This one’s for you. This week, we’re tackling one of the most common DMs we get: How do I actually start investing without messing it up? We talk through the fear, the noise, and the pressure to “pick the right thing” and share how to take your first step with confidence.
