This episode mentions sexual assault. Award-winning entrepreneur and visionary Mariam Mohammed shares her deeply personal experiences, including the challenges of seeking therapy after sexual assault, which eventually drove her decision to immigrate to Australia with just $300 in her pocket. Her story is a testament to resilience, leadership, and the power of financial literacy as she discusses her impactful work with MoneyGirl, a social enterprise dedicated to educating women in Australia about financial independence.

In this episode we chat about;

• Mariam's lifelong passion for art and the struggle to balance creative aspirations with the traditional expectations of her upbringing as a Pakistani Muslim.
• Mariam recounts the intense pressures and cultural norms she faced while pursuing her passions, and the privilege and determination that enabled her to leave Pakistan for a fresh start in Australia.
• We also delve deeply into the importance of holistic education and financial literacy in empowering women and fostering societal change. Mariam details the origins and mission of MoneyGirl, addressing the specific barriers marginalized women face in achieving financial independence.

Women earn $12,000 less per year (on average) than their male counterparts in Australia.

Australia's national gender pay gap is still sitting at 12%. Even worse, women who come from racially and culturally marginalised backgrounds are paid 19% less than their male counterparts.

This is infuriating and albeit we don't have control over the systems that brought us here (given the pace of reform, engrained societal expectations of women in the workplace and the profiling first nations and women of colour face), what we do have control over is;

• Our choice to use the voice we have to speak about money, ask for pay rises and revolt against oppression.
• Question our own money stories, beliefs and conditioning.
• Rewire our beliefs and lean into, talk about, verbally express and articulate our worth.
• And aspire (and take action towards) obtaining wealth so we can attain our dream life and live out our mission.

Historically and culturally, money is an 'icky' topic for people who identify as women. But we're missing out if we stay silent.

But where to start?

Second time guest Laura Piccardi spills the tea on embracing motherhood after the big 4-0.

As a sequel to the previous episode with Rach from Live Kid Free, I wanted to get a second perspective from someone who was also conflicted on whether or not to have kids–and decided to (in Laura's words), to "just fuc*king go for it".

Laura is a comedian, podcaster, speaker and business owner. And the perfect guest to give us the real low down on how she went about deciding to have a baby after 40.

Laura talks about her procrastination, the process she went through in order to decide, and the one defining moment she knew she wanted to be a mother. (Spoiler it involves a sexy weekend away with her husband).

Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions, plenty of "real talk," and a refreshing take on rewriting the narrative of motherhood for the modern woman.
