What does your grandmother's relationship with money have to do with your bank balance today? More than you'd think.

Molly is back and sitting down with financial advisor, community builder, and newly minted author Jessica Brady to dig into one of the most fascinating and rarely talked about, sides of personal finance: how the women who came before us shaped the way we think, feel, and behave around money today.

Jess has just released her debut book Get Growing: A No-Nonsense Guide to Cultivating Wealth and Financial Freedom, and it is everything, part feminist history lesson, part practical money guide, part permission slip for every woman who's ever felt like managing money just wasn't meant for her.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your money mindset is likely already formed by the time you're seven years old
• How the laws that locked women out of financial independence still echo through generations today
• What a "hot iron money moment" is and how to find yours
• Why your brain is actually trying to protect you from wealth and how to gently take back the wheel
• What a "money monster" is and how naming yours can help you stop letting it make decisions for you
• How to build a financial alter ego that helps you show up differently with your money

Perfect for: Australian women who've ever felt behind with money, anyone curious about where their money beliefs really come from, and every woman who wants to stop the cycle and build real, lasting wealth.

The biggest takeaway from this episode? Your money story isn't your fault, but it is yours to rewrite. 🎧
