It’s about understanding a few key ideas, asking questions without shame and taking small steps that build over time.\nIn this episode, they explore:\n How early money messages shape our confidence (often without us realising)\n Why so many midlife women feel they’ve missed their chance\n The difference between saving and investing - in simple terms\n What “purchasing power” really means (with a loaf of bread to explain it)\n How to cope when markets fall and fear creeps in\n Why starting with £10 can completely shift your mindset\n Where to find hidden money through simple spending audits\n How fees quietly eat into long-term returns\n Listener questions on ISAs, premium bonds and investing in your 60s\n Why financial clarity is really about self-worth\nAnd because this is Walking This Way, Lise also reflects on winter moods, hormones, long marriages, teenagers behind bedroom doors and that strange in-between space of still being needed… but differently.\nAbout The Money Conversation\nWebsite: https://www.themoneyconversation.co.uk/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.moneyconversation/ \nImportant Disclaimer:\nLise and Adrienne are not financial advisors - they provide financial education and coaching.
