Have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if you couldn’t work tomorrow? What if the biggest risk to your financial future isn’t what you spend, but what you could lose if your income suddenly stopped?
For many women, insurance is something that gets pushed to the bottom of the list. It feels boring, confusing, or like something to deal with later. But the reality is, your ability to earn an income is one of your most valuable assets. Protecting it is a powerful form of financial security.
In this episode, Trish Gregory explains why income protection insurance is one of the most overlooked financial safety nets for women. Trish shares her personal story of how insurance created stability for her family after her partner was medically discharged from the military, and how having that support allowed them to make decisions from strength, not fear. Together, we unpack why so many Australians are underinsured, why relying only on insurance through super often isn’t enough, and how women can take simple steps to protect themselves and their families.
If you’ve ever assumed insurance wasn’t necessary, felt overwhelmed by the options, or wanted to feel more financially secure no matter what life brings, this episode is for you.
