If you’re anything like us then the topic of money may feel confusing and overwhelming… let alone delving into things like superannuation, budgets and any kind of financial planning! Today we interview the incredible Melissa browne who breaks the topic down in a way that is simple, inspiring and empowering.Mel isn't your typical finance person. Yes, she's an award-winning ex-accountant and ex-financial advisor but she's also a multi-millionaire (after having started with less than nothing in her early thirties) who is now a financial educator & best-selling author. Her training has helped thousands of people develop their own tailored financial mix of everything they need to place their energy into and nothing they don’t so they can walk away from the financial merry-go-round they’re on. Her passion is to increase the financial literacy of women and in doing so, to help create your financial confidence and your wealth.In this podcast we chat to Mel about:Financial steps to put into place before going on maternity leaveWhether it is worth returning to work after having a baby when costs of childcare are so highAll things superannuation and the real cost of having a career break as well as some ideas of what you can doStarting your own business as a mum and some things to considerHow to cope when money is tightDo we really need to have a budget?Saving money on day to day necessities like food shopping and household billsand so much more!Mel has kindly offered our Boob to Food community some incredible free resources to support the conversation further which can check out HERE.You can connect with Mel on instagram or her website Today's episode was brought to you by Part & Parcel - our favourite one-stop-shop for all our pantry goods!
