Earlier this year, The Guardian published an article on Jo Nemeth: the woman who lives without money. Instead of engaging in paid work and using that income to pay for goods, services and shelter, she contributes to an intergenerational household with unpaid labour.

In this episode, we unpack the concept of living without money, including whether it's a giant leap forward to a society less hamstrung by late stage capitalism, or whether it's a sinister step backwards to a time when women lived without money under the control of their male partners.

Content warning: this episode discusses themes of cancer, mortality and fertility. Welcome to another episode of That's Juicy and this week we have a very special guest, friend and colleague of mine, Chloe Adams from PocketSmith. Chloe joins us to share her experience of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her thirties, despite having said two weeks prior that she was the healthiest she's ever been. We discuss how such a life altering diagnosis affects your money mindset, your outlook on the future, and big life decisions, and explore how being financially prudent when you're healthy can pay off big time if you find yourself dealing with a serious illness. I'm pleased to give one spoiler alert that this episode has a happy ending and Chloe is now cancer free. Mentioned in this episode: Chloe's article for the Ovarian Cancer Foundation NZ: https://ovariancancerfoundation.org.nz/ovarian-cancer-story/ova-achiever-my-struggle-with-ovarian-cancer-at-32/ PocketSmith: the personal finance software for all walks of life www.pocketsmith.com/thebrokegeneration See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Welcome back to another Emma's Dilemma episode where I address burning dilemma's from listeners. Today we have an absolute zinger: should I spend all my money now so I don't have regrets later? Good question. Should you? Watching the world collapse around us naturally creates a fear response in our minds, so it's tempting to make decisions like this to feel like you're empowered and in control. But, while you'd be avoiding some regret, you're not avoiding all regret – and that's the reality we need to get our minds to understand. In this episode, I take you through: Why it feels like there's no point doing anything good with your money How the brain seeks psychological relief The impact of acting on fear-responsive thoughts A decision framework to help you act from a place of power rather than fear The importance of reframing fear-based thoughts to protect your money mindset over the long term.

This episode is a recast of my annual guided mid year money review that is PERFECT for taking stock of where you're at as we close out the first half of 2025 and look ahead to what's to come. Even if you've heard this 5-step review process episode before, I encourage you to listen again with this year in mind. These things are always different every time we do them! The goal of this guided mid year money review is to get you to farm the data from the first half of the year and deploy your learnings into the second half of the year. Often we approach goal setting from a best-case-scenario mindset, which can set us up to fail. By anchoring ourselves in the mid point of the year, and using the real data of Jan - June in our finances to inform what's possible for Jul - Dec, we can set goals and intentions with context, and that set us up for success.

It's Gemini season, which means it's my birthday month, and so it's time for one of your favourite episodes: the birthday ep! Usually, I do something like 30 things I've learned by 30, but now I'm 34, it's getting HARD to come up with 34 things. So instead, I'm taking you through 5 big lessons from my thirties in general, now that I'm well and truly settled in, buckled up and hurting towards my mid thirties at pace. Highlights: How your 20s are different to your 30s Why your values matter more than anything The opportunities of your 30s that are not to be missed Why we shouldn't be trying to stop comparison altogether, but instead manage it better The benefits of seeing compounding efforts pay off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

In this episode, I dive into the critical difference between explanations and excuses when it comes to our financial situations. I explore how identifying this difference can transform our money mindset, help us take meaningful action, and prevent future regrets. By learning to shift from excuse-making to explanation-seeking, we can break through psychological barriers and create genuine financial progress. Episode Highlights: Explanations vs. Excuses : I break down how explanations clarify with facts and context, while excuses shift responsibility and provide psychological comfort that ultimately holds us back. The Self-Employment Example : I share my personal tendency to use "I'm self-employed, so it's harder" as an excuse, and how transforming this into an explanation creates actionable pathways forward. Four Questions to Identify Excuses : I provide a framework to determine if you're making excuses or giving explanations, including asking if it's specific, if there's a way forward, if you'll stand by it in five years, and if there's anything you're not telling yourself. The Future Self Perspective : I discuss how our future selves will thank us for turning excuses into explanations that we can act upon, rather than letting opportunities pass us by. Life's Regrets : I reference Bronnie Ware's "Top Five Regrets of the Dying" to highlight how excuse-making can lead to unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities for meaningful connections. What you will learn: How to differentiate between legitimate explanations and limiting excuses in your financial life Practical techniques to transform your excuses into explanations that enable action Why psychological comfort from excuses can lead to long-term regret How to balance accepting real financial challenges while still moving forward Where to find The Broke Generation Website: https://thebrokegeneration.com/?v=518f4a738816 Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.brokegeneration TikTok: @the.brokegeneration Order my book, Good with Money!

When are we buying to fix ourselves, and when are we "investing in ourselves"? In this solo episode I dive into the sometimes-dangerous advice I see on social media about "investing in yourself" (which is basically just fixing yourself and/or emotional spending in disguise), and unpack the differences between healthy investments in yourself and toxic pseudo investments in yourself. Then, we move onto a model you can use to explore 7 ways you can invest in yourself in a meaningful way, and side step that toxic side of self-investment.

In part two of this slap-a-dappin episode on self-image and financial health, I explore four additional powerful strategies to build self-acceptance and stop the cycle of emotional spending. Building on the foundation laid in part one, this episode dives deeper into identifying your "fantasy self," recognising spending triggers, working with what you already own, and developing a framework to intercept negative self-talk. Discover how liking yourself more can become your financial superpower and free up mental space previously consumed by self-criticism. What you will learn: How to identify your "fantasy self" and break the spending cycle tied to that unrealistic image Techniques to recognise and distance yourself from triggers that lead to emotional spending Why working with what you already own can radically shift your relationship with yourself A practical A.A.D.E. framework (Acknowledge, Articulate, Dispute, Evidence) to intercept negative self-talk The connection between self-acceptance and improved financial decision-making Episode Highlights How identifying your "fantasy self" can help you intercept emotional spending before it happens (5:40) Why your triggers for disliking yourself are powerful clues for changing your relationship with money (12:30) The radical act of deciding you can like yourself with what you already own (18:20) Introduction of the A.A.D.E. framework for transforming negative self-perception (22:35) Why liking yourself is actually a "cheat code" for financial wellbeing (28:15) My personal journey from self-criticism to neutrality and how it transformed my spending (30:25) The connection between women's self-image struggles and engagement with personal finance (32:10) Mentioned in this episode: The Spending Trap of Your Fantasy Self episode: https://thebrokegeneration.com/blog/episodes/friday-faves-the-spending-trap-of-your-fantasy-self/?portfolioCats=362 Where to find The Broke Generation Website: https://thebrokegeneration.com/?v=518f4a738816 Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.brokegeneration TikTok: @the.brokegeneration Order my book, Good with Money!

Step into my time machine: for this week's Friday Fave we're going all the way back to 2023 to hear a fave ep about the link between a lack of self love and financial self sabotage, WOOF! Buckle up, it's a juicy one. When we exist in a society that conditions us (especially women and marginalised groups) to constantly pursue "better" versions of ourselves, our finances often suffer as a result. I share how my own struggles with self-esteem in my teens and early twenties led to financial leakage, and how therapy and self-awareness have transformed my relationship with both myself and my money. Highlights: Emotional Spending Cycles : How using shopping as a coping mechanism creates a vicious cycle of temporary highs followed by financial regret Self-Sabotage Patterns : Why we unconsciously derail our own financial progress when operating from a place of low self-worth The "Worthiness" Factor : How feeling undeserving can prevent you from saving, negotiating better pay, or charging what you're worth Identity-Based Purchasing : The danger of buying things to "become" someone else rather than to enhance who you already are The Awareness Solution : Practical first steps to notice the connection between your self-esteem and spending habits What you'll learn: The 7 specific ways low self-love sabotages your financial confidence How to identify when you're spending to fill emotional gaps rather than actual needs Why struggling financially might feel like your "comfort zone" (and how to break free) The psychological difference between healthy vs. toxic identity-based purchasing Simple reflection practices to begin healing your relationship with both yourself and your money If you're stuck in a cycle of taking one step forward and two steps back with your finances, this episode will help you understand the underlying self-worth issues that might be holding you back.

In this episode I explore the profound connection between self-acceptance and financial wellness. Discover why the journey to liking yourself isn't a simple switch to flip, but rather a transformative process that can revolutionise your relationship with both your self-image and your spending habits. I had SO MUCH TO SAY it's ended up being a two parter, so tune in next Thursday for 4 more ways to like yourself more. What you'll learn: Why self-acceptance is a gradual journey of neuroplasticity, not an overnight transformation The surprising ways our self-perception drives our financial decisions Practical strategies to break the cycle of "improvement" spending How to begin separating your self-worth from the standards we've been conditioned to meet Episode Highlights: The Self-Love Switch Myth Why we've been conditioned to believe self-acceptance is instantaneous rather than a gradual rewiring of our thinking patterns. The Money-Image Connection Explore the hidden relationship between how we see ourselves and where our money goes—particularly through "enhancement" purchases that promise to make us more acceptable. Breaking the Consumption-Confidence Loop Learn why stopping certain consumption patterns might actually be more effective than adding new ones when building self-acceptance. The Mirror of Judgment Discover how our perception of others directly influences our self-criticism and spending habits, and what we can do to break this pattern. Neutrality Before Positivity My journey of moving from self-hatred to self-neutrality before reaching self-acceptance, and why this middle step is crucial. The True Cost of Self-Criticism Uncover the financial impact of constantly trying to "fix" yourself through purchases, and what happens when you begin to step away from this pattern Quotable Moments: "When you're relying on that externality, that was just a complete sinkhole of spending because there is no end there. It's just a cycle that's going to keep going around." "If you see it as a project of changing the way you see yourself, rather than just going from disliking yourself to liking yourself, it will feel a lot more manageable." Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!
