Have you ever wondered why bringing home a six-figure salary can still leave you struggling to afford a home or feeling like you are just getting by? What if the secret to financial security has less to do with your income bracket and everything to do with understanding your own behavioural patterns?
For many professionals, the modern financial landscape leaves a massive gap. The “working poor” are those who are employed and earn too much to qualify for government assistance, yet still face significant financial pressure to cover the basics. With the rise of AI chatbots and unregulated social media “Finfluencers” spreading financial misinformation, finding credible, independent guidance is increasingly difficult. Furthermore, women often face a severe “super gap” due to time taken out of the workforce, losing vital years of compounding interest during their peak earning years.
In this episode, Amanda Di Medici, founder of Yenom, explains why achieving true financial wellbeing requires a robust money mindset for women. Drawing on her extensive background in law, finance, and adult education, Amanda explores Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, explaining why you cannot pursue your life’s passions until your basic survival needs are financially secure. We discuss the importance of identifying your money archetype, how to establish a six-month emergency fund, and why co-parents must have proactive conversations about equal superannuation contributions.
🎧 Press play now to master your money mindset for women and learn how to secure the financial foundations you need to thrive.
