She's On The Money

This is one of those Money Diaries that starts with a decision that feels sensible at the time… and slowly reveals just how much weight it carries. When her partner suggested using her inheritance to buy property together, it felt like the right next step. The grown up one. The kind you make when you’re building a future with someone. Then the relationship ended, and that decision didn’t disappear with it. In this episode, she walks us through what happens next. The parts of property ownership no one explains when you’re in love. The confidence knock that comes from being told you’re “bad with money.” And the reality of having to step up financially before you feel ready. She also shares the systems she built to make money feel manageable again, especially with a brain that doesn’t love numbers, and the lessons she wishes she’d known before saying yes. This one is full of the stuff you don’t realise you need to know until you really, really do.

Ever stared at the bill split amount and thought… sorry, why am I paying for food I did not eat? We’re unpacking a takeaway dilemma where one person orders like it’s their last supper and everyone else is expected to split it evenly. What do you actually do in that moment? Do you say something, suck it up, or quietly build resentment? We talk through the options, the social risk, and how to handle it differently next time without blowing up the friendship. Then things get uncomfortably real with a Christmas DM that hits a nerve. When your family’s love language is business class flights, investment wins, and expensive gifts, and you chose passion, values, and a very different definition of success. We get into how to respond to the comments, protect your self worth, and decide when it’s worth engaging and when it’s not. Need the team’s take on your money dilemma?

Even some of the most successful people you know started at rock bottom like $60k in debt, no job, and pretending everything is totally fine. That was Jane Lu’s life… right before she built Showpo. And today, Jane is speaking candidly about it all.The pressure to pick the “good girl” career, the fear of disappointing her parents, the panic of feeling behind while everyone else looks like they’re sprinting ahead and the moment you realise you’ve built a life around other people’s expectations and now you have to undo it.  But interesting part is what came next, and nothing about it looked like the beginning of a global brand. Cofounders walked. Ideas fizzled. She was building websites in the State Library and quietly hoping no one noticed she was making it up as she went. And then, slowly, things shifted. A call she made out of instinct, a social moment went viral and she found a way of working that suited her Lazy CEO approach. This became the backbone of the business she’d grow into a company valued at more than $100 million. In this ep:✨Her mindset shifts about the "safe" career✨How to rebuild when your confidence is shot and your bank account is judging you✨The small (almost accidental) move that blew open her career✨Lazy CEO rules that help you stop doing the absolute most✨Why your messy chapter isn’t a setback, it’s leverageJANE'S LINKS: Showpo's website, TikTok & InstagramHer personal website, Tiktok & Instagram  READ: Victoria's book The Business Bible just won the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Book of the Year at the 2025 Australian Business Book Awards.

Some weeks it feels like you’re doing everything right with money… and still getting nowhere. If that’s been your energy lately, you’re not alone. This week we’re unpacking why that happens, what it means when your effort isn’t matching the outcome, and the practical ways to reset without throwing your whole plan in the bin. We also heard from someone in our community who’s feeling the annual Christmas tug-of-war: wanting to keep things simple and values-aligned, but also navigating grandparents who love a shopping spree and a partner who’s all in on the festive chaos. So we chat through how to set boundaries without being the Grinch, how to rethink “enough” at Christmas, and the small shifts that stop the season from steamrolling your sanity or your savings. Plus your money wins, unhinged broke-tips we never see coming, and the usual Friday fun to kick-off the weekend.
