If you’re going through a separation or divorce right now…
and the financial side of things feels overwhelming, confusing, or just too much to handle on your own, you’re not alone.

I work with women in this exact stage of life. Women who are trying to make sense of it all while holding everything else together.

You might be asking yourself:
• “What happens to my money now?”
• “Will I be okay long-term?”
• “Am I making the right decisions?”

And underneath all of that… there’s often fear, uncertainty, and a quiet worry about getting it wrong.

This is a space where you can ask anything, without judgement.
No silly questions. No pressure. No overwhelm.

Just clear, steady support from someone who understands what you’re navigating
and will help you make confident, informed decisions about your financial future.

If you need someone to talk things through with, I’m here. 🤍

It’s a foggy morning. Reminds me how my brain feels sometimes. Lol.

But seriously, a few years back, this was constant. The brain fog was caused by marital separation, loaded with menopause. It made it difficult to think, let alone make the big decisions I needed to make.

If this is you right now, do something you enjoy. Go for a walk, call a friend, or better still do both together.

But if you want some professional help with making those BIG decisions, I’m here for you. Just send me a message, let’s chat.

What Does Financial Independence Look Like to You?
When people hear financial independence, they often think it means the same thing for everyone…but it doesn’t.
For some, it’s:
✅ Paying bills without stress
✅ Having savings for emergencies
✅ Choosing work because you want to, not because you have to
✅ More time with family, less worry about money
✅ Freedom from debt
✅ Feeling confident and in control of your finances
There’s no “right” answer, only your answer.
💬 I’d love to know: What does financial independence look like to you?

Yesterday marked my final day in mortgage broking, and closing this chapter comes with a lot of gratitude.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the incredible support team at Loan Market Geelong City who’ve been with me for the past few years. Your guidance, patience and consistency made such a difference — not only to my business, but to the way I was able to show up for clients. I’ve genuinely valued being part of your team.

As I step fully into my coaching work, I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with Nathan Baumgart from Green Finance Group. Nathan will now look after the mortgage side for clients, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to trust with that role. This alliance allows me to focus on what I love most: helping people rebuild clarity, confidence and financial wellbeing after separation.

I also want to thank all of you for supporting me along the way. I want to reassure you that I'm still here whenever you need assistance with anything finance related.

Here’s to new chapters and the people who help us grow.

INTEREST RATES!

There were so many forecasts last year predicting rate drops that did not eventuate. Then by the end of the year, those same economists were predicting the next rate move to be an increase.

Confused?

Let's look at what's actually happening. Many of the banks started putting up their fixed term interest rates. This means they no longer feel that rate drops are likely.

However, fixed rates at most banks still sit around the level of current variable rates. This indicates a period of rate stability.

So, my advice is Don't Panic.

If you'd like to have a chat about your interest rate, and whether you feel it's a good time to lock-in, please give me a call.
