She's On The Money

V is back in the studio (and yes… she brought Cami along for a very cute cam(i?)o because apparently she couldn’t stay away). If you hear any cute baby noises throughout the episode, this time it isn't Bec!
This week we’re getting into two questions that feel very “this could go really well… or really not.”
First up, a dilemma we know so many of you are quietly thinking about. Should you ever sell your shares to fund a house deposit? We break down when it might make sense, what you’re potentially giving up, and how to think about the trade-off between investing and getting into the property market.
Then, a DM from the community that had us all leaning in. Is buying an investment property with family a smart financial move… or a disaster waiting to happen?
We’re talking boundaries, expectations, legal structures and what can go wrong (because let’s be honest, money and family can get complicated very quickly).
It’s practical, a little bit spicy, and exactly the kind of conversation you want to have before you make a big financial decision.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of what’s actually going on in the share market right now… this is your cheat sheet.
In this week’s Deep Dive, we’re getting into the investing trends that defined 2025. Where the money actually went, what investors were prioritising, and what it all says about how people were really feeling about their finances last year.
We’re talking:
The ETF boom (and why everyone and their group chat is suddenly investing in them)
The shift from “growth at all costs” to diversification, income and a little bit of caution
What’s actually going on when people start moving into bonds, debt funds and so-called “defensive” assets
The industries that quietly (and not so quietly) delivered huge returns… hello mining and precious metals
And the standout stocks that had everyone talking, including one Aussie company that shot up over 300%
We also break it all down in plain English. No jargon, no gatekeeping, just a clear look at what’s changed and why it matters for you.
Because while it’s fun to look at the 300% and 500% returns (we love a bit of investing gossip), the real story of 2025 isn’t about picking the next winner. It’s about building something that can actually survive whatever comes next.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing investing right”… or just want to understand what everyone else seems to be talking about, this one’s for you.

If you think losing your job would set you back financially… this week’s Money Diary might change your mind.
In 2018, our diarist lost her corporate role and six-figure salary overnight. What followed wasn’t a scramble to replace it, but a decision to finally back herself and start the business she’d been putting off. What began as a one-woman operation in a granny flat is now a multi-million dollar business with a team of 20.
We chat about the leap, the reality behind the growth, and what it actually takes to build something from nothing. If you’ve ever thought “could I do that?”… this one’s for you.

This week on Friday Drinks, we’re answering one of your questions straight from the SOTM community… and let’s just say, it’s one we get asked a lot. Can you actually use your super to buy property?
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: it’s a lot more complex than TikTok might have you believe. We break down how it works, what the catch is, and why it’s definitely not a strategy to jump into without understanding the fine print.
We also dive into a DM that sparked a big conversation both in our inbox and in the studio.Whose responsibility is it to pay for your parents’ funeral? It’s one of those questions that doesn’t have a neat, one-size-fits-all answer. We unpack the financial, emotional and cultural layers behind it, and share our own perspectives on what feels fair (and what doesn’t).
Plus, if you’ve ever had a money question you’ve been too scared to ask, this is your reminder that you can send it to us. Drop us a voice memo via our website and we might answer it on the show. You spill, we help. Beep.

Period products are one of the most normalised monthly expenses in women’s lives… but have you ever stopped to ask why?
Why is this something women are expected to pay for, no questions asked… when it’s not optional?In this episode, Victoria sits down with Remy Tucker, founder of On The House, the business challenging the status quo by making period products free. After working in healthcare and seeing firsthand how lack of access impacts women, Remy decided this wasn’t something we should just accept… and built a business to change it.
We’re talking about period inequity in Australia, the real impact it has on women’s lives, and the innovative “negative priced” business model that’s getting brands to fund products instead. Because this isn’t just a conversation about periods… it’s about access, equity, and who’s been footing the bill all along.
