About this episode
This week’s episode is a tiny bit of a financial intervention… because for many of us, money talk is deeply uncomfortable. As your Internet besties, sometimes we have to hold you accountable and push you to make decisions that honour that best version of you. Saving money, investing money, filing taxes — yup it makes us sweat behind the knees too. But instead of letting your dad, brother or boyfriend handle your finances or WORSE not deal with your money at all— 2026 the mossies get financially literate.Join us as we ask the dumbest finance questions so you don’t have to. And welcome finance girlie and fairy god sister Sonia Shenoy to guide us along this journey. Sonia started her career as a TV presenter but somehow took a very unplanned detour into the world of content and turned out pretty successful.
