My Happy Money Journey: money for mid life women with Phoebe Blamey

Christmas  is not a Hallmark movie.

It’s three family lunches in one day, a group chat on fire, 47 “last chance” sales emails, and somehow you’ve become the caterer, the Uber driver, the therapist and the bank. Again.

In this pre Christmas episode we are talking about the pressure cooker that is the holiday season – and how you can do it differently.

We expolore how old family roles, money wounds and expectations collide in Decembe...

OK so you are not a numbers person - I can show you how to start making some good money decisions anyway! Welcome to the leading money podcast for mid life women in Australia. This week we dig deep into money myths, why a move into your divine feminine might feel like you are NOT doing better with your money, how not knowing can be dangerous and what are the three steps you can take right now to understand your finances.

It’s finally here… the financial Olympics of the year. Black Friday to Cyber Monday is loud, chaotic, tempting, and honestly? It can be BRILLIANT — if you shop with strategy instead of spiralling.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the psychology behind the sales, how retailers use scarcity + urgency to make us overspend, and why midlife women are uniquely targeted (and uniquely powerful when we shop intentionally).

We cover:

There are four steps to financial freedom and none of them involve being good!

Today, on Australia's leading money podcast for mid life women let’s bust a myth. There is no right way to do money. The only right way is the one that fits your life, your experiences, and your dreams.

We’ve been told for too long that money follows a straight path: get a job, buy a house, build a portfolio, retire. But life doesn’t work that way and ne...

Imagine waking up one morning and actually feeling in control of your money. No more dread when you open your banking app — just calm, confident clarity. This episode is your invitation to get there.

Phoebe takes you through the three big phases of transformation: Reclaim, Redefine, Rebuild. You’ll uncover the hidden stories and cultural conditioning that keep women stuck in financial fear and start rewriting your script for wealth...

There seem to be two seperate camps when it comes to money coaches...some are all about healing your inner child so you can manifest the life of your dreams, and the others are all savings jars, spreadsheets and budget planners. I don't think you can do one without the other! Even the gurus check their bank accounts, and if they don't then what will they do when they manifest their millions? 

In this episode of My Happy Money Journ...

This is my very own story. It took me to sort my money out. I hid from it, I impulse shopped, I did a ton of low value spending...I never looked at my account unless I was transferring money at the checkout after my card declined.

I did ALL the dumb things.

and then I made a shift...and today I am sharing that with you.

I’m bringing it all together. This isn’t just about spreadsheets or financial hacks.  It's three shifts (in no pa...

Today we’re diving into a different kind of STD… one that spreads through love, trust, and silence: sexually transmitted debt.

This can look like a romance scam, on the other hand it can also look like the thing we just do in a relationship.  Today I want to bust the money myth that we need to go along with what our significant other is doing in their business, that its somehow our responsibility to support our new partner and how ...

We all think we’re supposed to look after everyone our partners, our parents, our kids, our grandkids. But what happens when that “responsibility” becomes a financial trap? This week I’m diving deep into the messy middle of money and relationships when love, obligation, and trust get tangled up with bank balances.

I’ll take you inside real-life stories from workshops and coaching sessions:

• When a partner’s business collapses ...

Australia is on the brink of the largest intergenerational wealth transfer ever. Between $3.8 and $5 trillion will move from boomers to the next generation. Women will inherit 65% of it.

In this episode of My Happy Money Journey, Phoebe dives into the realities of inheritance:

• Why women inherit more, later in life

• How divorce, blended families, and “the eldest daughter effect” complicate things

• The sandwich generation’s s...

When you’re over 50 and suddenly find yourself without a job, it’s more than a career hiccup it’s a seismic life shift. Add menopause, aging parents, adult kids moving home, or divorce, and it’s a perfect storm.

This week, Phoebe dives into the uncomfortable reality: women over 55 in Australia take, on average, 20 months to find new work (seriously) more than double the time of younger candidates. But that “forced pause” can be t...

It could have been the worst week...but my money systems saved me!

This week is all about where the money systems you have really count.  No its not when you look at your bank account, its when life hits the fan and everything falls apart. Because not all rich girl habits are about designer handbags or passive income dreams. Some are about finally having a freezer full of food when you're too sore to cook… or a cash cushion that ...

Over a third of businesses in Australia are started by women over 35 and we’re doing it at almost double the rate of men. But we’re not just chasing profit,we’re chasing freedom, flexibility, and purpose.

From the untold story behind th...

In this episode, we’re ditching perfection and chasing progress, because financial freedom isn’t about doing everything “right.” It’s about healing your money wounds, learning the basics, and transforming your relationship with money using simple, consistent actions.

I’ll take you through:

• Why it’s time to stop faking it and start faithing it

• How money trauma shows up (even in high earners)

• The three-step formula to creat...

By choice or by chance, our lives change in our 40s and 50s. Kids grow up. Parents age. Relationships fracture. Careers stall. Suddenly, we’re carrying everyone — emotionally, financially, physically — and nobody seems to notice that we’re drowning.

This episode is raw and real.I’m digging into what it really feels like to be a woman in the thick of it: invisible, exhausted, expected to hold it all together… while secretly falling ...

It’s that time again — the ATO wants a date, and you’ve got receipts (somewhere, probably…). But what if we told you tax time isn’t just a necessary evil? It’s actually a chance to get financially fierce and turn your spring clean into a wealth strategy.

• Why tax time is your secret weapon for building wealth

• How to rethink deductions (it’s not just about work expenses)
