Investing for Women: How to Build Wealth with Confidence

What if we’ve been delivering financial advice the wrong way all along? Amanda Thompson thinks we have, and she’s not afraid to say so.

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda: three-time Ironwoman, heart attack survivor, single mum, and founder of Endurance Financial. We go deep into the psychology of money, the gender gap in financial confidence, and why women are often told to play it safe while men are encouraged to take risks.

This conversation isn’t just about dollars and cents, it’s about mindset, legacy, and rewriting the money story you’ve been handed. Whether you’re in a relationship navigating finances as a couple, or simply trying to take control of your own wealth journey, this one is for you.

Because the truth is: finance isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about the feelings behind them.

👉 Tune in now and share this with someone on the journey with you.
