| 6/22/26 | ![]() Ep217 You Can Do Hard Things | This one's a bit of a pep talk, and honestly, it's one I needed for myself too. This year has thrown a lot of people off, and if you've been feeling like things are just harder than they should be right now, this episode is for you. I'm sharing 5 things that help me when life (or money stuff) feels overwhelming, and they work whether you're dealing with a to-do list that won't quit or trying to get your head around your finances. Because here's the truth: you can do hard things. You just need a bit of structure to prove it to yourself. In this episode I cover: Write it down. Get it out of your head and onto a list before your brain loses it. Schedule time for strategic thinking separately from tactical planning. They use different brain cells. Don't look at the big picture too often. Set the strategy, trust it, and let it run. Do one thing at a time. Complete it. Then move to the next. Keep going. Consistent micro steps beat one big leap every single time. Mentioned in this episode: Financial Future Review: a 90-minute targeted session to get clear on where you are, where you're going, and what to do next: https://www.moneymadesimple.com.au/review | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() Ep216 Thriving with Neurodiversity with Francesca Casaro | In this episode, Alpha sits down with Francesca Casaro, developmental educator, autism and ADHD specialist, and founder of Neuro Connections, to talk about what neurodivergence actually is, why so many people are only getting diagnosed in adulthood, and how to stop working against your brain and start working with it. Francesca's path is a fascinating one. Born in Italy, she moved to New Zealand, had a daughter, and it was only when her daughter started school that the journey toward diagnosis began, for her daughter, and eventually for Francesca herself. Both are autistic and ADHD. Rather than sitting with that information, Francesca went deep, completed a Master of Autism Neurodivergence, and built a career supporting autistic and ADHD families. This conversation is warm, honest, and genuinely useful, whether you're navigating neurodivergence yourself, supporting a child, or simply trying to understand why some things feel so much harder than they should. What We Cover · What developmental education actually is (and why it's different from teaching) · Why autism isn't more common, we just understand it better now · What a 'spiky cognitive profile' means and why it matters · Why formal labels can be useful, but only when they give you tools, not more shame · The neurodiversity movement and what 'neuro-affirmative' practice actually looks like · How hyperfocus is a strength, not just an ADHD trait to manage · What to do if you suspect neurodivergence, in yourself or your child, without a formal diagnosis · Practical strategies for money avoidance when your brain works differently · Why working to your strengths matters more than fixing your weaknesses About Francesca Casaro Francesca is a developmental educator and founder of Neuro Connections, based in Brisbane. She holds a Master of Autism Neurodivergence and works with autistic and ADHD individuals aged 9 and up, and their families. She also works as a facilitator with Reframing Autism. Francesca works face-to-face in limited capacity and offers telehealth sessions Australia-wide. Find Francesca: https://neuroconnections.au/ | — | ||||||

| 2/16/26 | ![]() Ep199 - How to Reach Your Number | So much of the anxiety we feel around money doesn't come from a lack of income, it comes from a lack of clarity. In this practical and grounding episode of Money with Alpha, Alpha walks you through a simple but powerful exercise to help you identify your retirement number. Not to overwhelm you, but to give you something solid to aim for. If the future feels like a big black hole… If you're doing "all the right things" but still feel unsure… If money feels like one more thing you don't have the mental space to deal with… This episode is for you. Alpha breaks down: Why uncertainty fuels money anxiety How having a number changes your present-day decisions A simple, step-by-step way to calculate your retirement target How to assess your current net worth (without judgment) What to do once you see the gap, and why it's not as scary as it sounds The small, realistic money levers that actually move the needle Why momentum matters more than perfection This isn't about scrimping, sacrificing, or living a joyless life now for a future that may never come. It's about clarity, intention, and balance, so you can enjoy your life now and later. 🎧 You may want a pen and paper for this one or listen once, then come back to it. 🔗 Join the waitlist for Alpha's upcoming app (designed to make all of this easier): 👉 www.money-madesimple.com.au | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() Ep198 Your Nervous System & Wealth | There is a lot of focus and information on "money mindset", and while that is important, it misses how your body responds to money. This applies to what you currently have or don't have, and where you want to be (which is often an arbitrary "I want more money"). Before you can have more, your body needs to recognise and feel that it's safe to have more, and that's where your nervous system comes into it. In this episode of Money with Alpha, Alpha explores the powerful (and often overlooked) relationship between your nervous system and your financial capacity. Drawing on her own journey, including personal growth, and years of working with women around money, Alpha unpacks why sudden financial growth can feel unsafe, why incremental change matters, and why success can feel more threatening than failure. This episode is for you if you: Feel like you want more money, but struggle to hold onto it Notice self-sabotage when things start going well Feel conflicted between wanting more and judging yourself for it Know you need both practical money systems and emotional safety In this episode, we explore: Why success (not failure) often disregulates the nervous system The difference between safety and security with money Why lottery winners often lose everything Money as energy: inflow, outflow, and intentional circulation How confidence is built through small, consistent actions Why self-judgment is more damaging than external judgment How clarity, visibility, and flexibility support financial growth Alpha invites you to reflect on where you are right now: safety, security, energy, confidence, or judgment, and how you might begin expanding your capacity to hold more, without overwhelming your system. 🎧 Listen now and discover how to grow your wealth without overloading your nervous system. | — | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | ![]() Ep197 How I Invest | Investing can feel like a black hole: confusing, intimidating, and risky, especially when you've worked hard for every dollar you've earned. In this episode of Money with Alpha, I share my real, lived investing journey. Not from a financial markets background, but as someone who had to figure it out step by step. I walk you through: The difference between income returns and capital growth (and why this matters more than most people realise) How to understand your risk profile beyond generic questionnaires What diversification actually means (and what it definitely isn't) How I structure my own portfolio, including defensive vs growth assets Why I invest in ETFs and micro-investing Why "time in the market" always outperforms "timing the market" How consistent, boring investing quietly builds wealth over time. This episode is about taking the fear out of investing, simplifying your decisions, and helping you feel more confident taking action, even if you're starting small. 🎧 Listen now and discover why investing doesn't have to feel like gambling. | — | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | ![]() Ep196 Date Your Money | In this episode, Alpha invites you to rethink your relationship with money. Not as something to fear or avoid, but as something to get to know and to come at with curiosity rather than confusion. Using the metaphor of dating, Alpha walks through simple, practical steps to help you reconnect with your finances, gain clarity, and reduce money anxiety. In this episode, you'll learn: Why avoidance makes money stress worse (not better) How your past money "mistakes" can become learning points The five key steps to building visibility and clarity with money Why knowing when bills hit matters as much as how much they are How to create a money date that actually feels supportive Takeaway: Money doesn't need perfection, it needs attention. A little curiosity can transform your entire financial relationship. | — | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | ![]() Ep194 Micro-Changes Instead of Resolutions | Big New Year's resolutions often lead to big overwhelm, and very little follow-through. In this episode, Alpha explores why micro-changes are the real key to sustainable financial growth and confidence. Rather than focusing on drastic transformations, Alpha invites you to look at the small shifts in awareness, habits, language, and identity that quietly create powerful momentum over time. In This Episode, We Cover: Why New Year's money resolutions often fail The role of identity in financial behaviour How beliefs, stories, and language shape your money habits The difference between intentional money management and avoidance Why micro-investing and small automations are so powerful How to create CEO-level clarity without micromanaging your finances Simple micro-actions you can implement immediately This episode is perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed by money, short on time, or stuck in cycles of avoidance, and is ready for a gentler, smarter way forward. 🎧 Tune in and start building momentum through micro-changes. | — | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | ![]() Ep193 Alpha's Money Story | In this solo episode, Alpha invites listeners behind the scenes of her personal money journey. From her multicultural upbringing in Australia, shaped by financial scarcity and cultural expectations, to discovering her passion for financial empowerment for women. Alpha dives into: Growing up as a daughter of migrants who had no money when they were growing up How money stories are inherited from generations before us — even when no one talks about money directly Why she became a "squirreler" with money, and the pivotal moment she realised she needed to learn how money really works The career path that didn't fit — including depression, burnout, and a brave leap into something new The spark that led her to financial education, property investing, and ultimately launching Money Made Simple How her love of travel helped her reconnect with joy and lifestyle vision in mid-life Why the Money Pie framework was born, and why "simple + intentional" will always beat complexity ✨This episode is your reminder that your past does not dictate your financial future, and that it's never too late to rewrite your money story with intention. | — | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | ![]() Ep192 What Financial Advisors Do with Dylon Mackriel | In this episode of Money with Alpha, Alpha sits down with financial advisor Dylon Mackriel, founder of DreamWise Financial Services, to unpack what financial planning actually involves — beyond the jargon, beyond the misconceptions, and beyond the old-school commission-driven model many people still fear. Dylon shares his personal journey from South Africa to Australia, shifting from accounting into financial planning, and why the emotional side of money plays such a huge role in his work. You'll hear: ✨ In this episode, we explore: Why everyone earning an income can benefit from financial advice What financial planners do beyond investing How superannuation, insurance, and retirement strategies really work The truth about self-managed super funds (SMSFs) — who they're for and who they're not ETFs vs direct shares vs SMAs (and why diversification is essential) How to choose the right advisor, and why education is a non-negotiable part of quality advice The emotional and behavioural side of money Dylon's personal money story, including growing up with limited resources and how that shaped his mission This is an empowering conversation that helps remove the mystery from financial planning — so you can make smarter decisions, feel more confident, and understand the mechanics behind wealth-building… at any age.
