Ep 9. The Joy of Money: How Women Can Build Wealth & Financial Confidence

Have you ever wondered if you’re doing enough to prepare for retirement? Many women put off thinking about their superannuation, only to realise later in life that they’re facing a significant shortfall. But what if you could take small steps now to secure your future?

Superannuation is often an afterthought, especially for women who take career breaks, work part-time, or prioritise immediate financial responsibilities. Yet, having a solid super plan can mean the difference between struggling in retirement or having the freedom to live on your terms.
