She Took a Risk on a Seachange… and Accidentally Made the Best Money Move of Her Life

She's On The Money

Every money story has a sliding door moment... the decision that could go either way. Stay safe, or risk it all. This week’s Money Diarist chose the second option: she sold her house, walked away from job security, and packed up the family for a sea change with no plan and no savings. Everyone (including her parents) thought it was risky. And honestly? At first it did look like financial chaos. But that one leap set off a chain of events she never could’ve predicted, the kind of glow up that proves the riskiest decisions sometimes deliver the sweetest rewards. You’ll hear how she navigated debt, uncertainty, and living week-to-week, the turning point that changed everything, and the money wins she still can’t quite believe are hers. If you’ve ever stared down a scary choice and wondered what might happen if you said yes… this is your sign to listen.
