Emma Edwards Stopped Shopping for 365 Days and Accidentally Fixed Her Finances (Plus Her Relationship With Money and Herself)
You know when you’re standing in front of your overflowing wardrobe, absolutely drowning in clothes, and still somehow convincing yourself you have nothing to wear? Today’s guest knew that feeling all too well… until she decided she wasn’t buying a single new item of clothing for a whole year. Yes, Emma Edwards did the thing a lot of us love conceptually but would never have the courage, discipline, or emotional stability to actually commit to. Jess Ricci is self-admittedly in that group, so she decided to give Victoria the day off, and invite Emma into the studio to find out all about it. They dive into how what started as a “maybe this will calm my spending” experiment ended up rewiring Emma’s confidence, her habits, her body image, and the way she understood her own self-worth. Turns out the problem wasn’t the wardrobe… it was the stories she’d been telling herself every time she added something to her cart.Inside this ep:👗 The sneaky emotional loops that make you impulse spend👗 Why your fantasy self has way too much influence over your actual budget👗 The mindset shift that makes old clothes feel brand new again👗 How to rebuild a wardrobe you genuinely love wearing 👗 The inner peace that hits when the parcels stop👗 What happens when your style finally aligns with your identity👗 How redefining her identity reshaped her finances Join our Facebook Group AKA the ultimate support network for money advice and inspiration.

Investing Diaries: She Didn’t Invest for Two Years… and Her Portfolio Grew $20K Anyway
Our very first Investing Diary has landed, and she is the perfect reminder that investing is absolutely for women like us. Before she ever opened an app, she genuinely believed investing was a world reserved for men on Wall Street. Then lockdown hit, the algorithm gods did their thing, and suddenly she was seeing finance content from women who actually looked and sounded like her. One rabbit hole later… her entire money story flipped. What started as curiosity turned into a full investing era. She binged podcasts, graduated from micro investing, and built herself a portfolio with a set-and-forget energy. Then life did what life does. First home. Wedding. New job. So she stepped back from investing and honestly forgot about her portfolio altogether. Two years later she logs back in… and realises it has grown by $20,000 while she invested exactly nothing. Inside this ep, Victoria gets pervy about it all: the ETFs doing the heavy lifting, the direct shares she bought because she could see their value, and the “accidental strategy” that is actually outperforming her partners. This one is proof that you do not need to be a man in a suit on Wall Street to grow your money in the sharemarket. You just need to start.

DIY Investing vs Managed Portfolios: Which One Should You Choose? And How to Avoid a Black Friday Budget Blowout
If you’ve ever heard “managed portfolio” and thought… okay but what actually are they, this one’s for you. We break down what “managed” really means in practice, how they differ from your usual ETF mix, and the moments when outsourcing the mental load might make more sense than being your own fund manager.
