In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m diving into the fascinating world of investing in precious metals - what it is, why it matters, and how to get started.

I often talk about investing as a powerful way to build wealth. Usually, I focus on topics like the stock market, property, and business. But today, I’m excited to explore the unique power of investing in precious metals. I'll admit, like anything that is new or unknown, this topic felt slightly intimidating, simply because I didn't fully understand it. Since undertaking research and learning the "what", why” and “how” behind it, I’ve come to realise just how empowering and impactful it can be. We invest as a way to protect our wealth, especially from inflation. Inflation erodes the buying power of your money. When you leave your money sitting in cash, it loses purchasing power year after year. By swapping cash for assets like precious metals that grow in value over time, you’re not only preserving your wealth but you're also beating inflation.

One of the biggest barriers to investing for women is a combination of risk aversion and lack of knowledge. Research shows that women are 45% more likely than men to hesitate when it comes to starting or expanding their investment portfolios due to a lack of knowledge. My hope is that this episode, along with resources shared by The Royal Mint, will help bridge that gap and inspire you to diversify both your knowledge and your portfolio.

In this episode:

• What it means to invest in precious metals like gold
• 3 reasons why you should invest in precious metals
• 3 things to consider when you choose to invest
• 4 top tips for getting started
• Allow me to introduce you to The Royal Mint!

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing how to choose between investing in a property or the stock market.

I get asked this question all the time and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone’s priorities, circumstances, dreams and values are unique. It’s essential to get clear on what you truly want, beyond the expectations of society or family. If you value liquidity and growth, the stock market might be a better path. But if you’re looking for stability and a tangible asset, buying property could be more aligned with your goals. By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll have a clearer sense of which option feels right for you.

Sometimes, our decisions make more emotional sense than financial. If owning a home has always been your dream, and it gives you a sense of fulfilment—even if it’s not the most profitable choice—that’s ok. Life isn’t just about financial gain; it’s about what we do with our money to live fully. So if you’ve run the numbers and still feel it’s the right choice, trust yourself, pursue your dreams and go for it!

In this episode:

• An overview of investing in the stock market and property
• How understanding your financial goals will help you choose where to invest
• Accessibility to your money and understanding liquidity
• The fees and the costs involved with investing
• Diversification and leveraging your money when investing
• The pros and cons of investing in the stock market and property
• Why some things make more emotional sense than they do financial

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m going to be sharing the psychology of spending.

I’ve had an absolute ball this summer #noregrets but I can say with confidence that I’ve bought and spent money on things that I definitely don’t need. Let’s be honest - most of us have been here. Our spending habits are closely tied to our mindset, so today we’ll be exploring this connection to help you make positive changes towards financial freedom. Moving from impulsive to intentional spending starts with building a strong connection to your goals and values. When you’re truly aligned with what you want for your future and the deeper reasons behind why you value money, it becomes easier to pause and ask, “does this purchase bring me closer to my goals, or does it pull me further away?” This kind of self-questioning helps you spend more intentionally, prioritizing what truly matters to you.

Seeing yourself as financially empowered is another powerful mindset shift. When you focus your self-worth and fulfilment on experiences, relationships, and personal growth—not just material goods—you create a sense of value that can’t be taken away. Your self-worth is built on how you view yourself, the way you show up in your relationships, and the impact you have on others, not on the things you own or the way others perceive you. The more in tune you are with yourself, the more you’ll enjoy life without relying on external gratification. Learning to sit with your emotions, knowing you’ll be okay regardless of what you’re feeling, is incredibly powerful. Material things might bring a quick fix but that feeling fades fast. Lasting fulfilment comes from within.

In this episode:

• What is impulsive spending?
• How does your belief system impact your spending?
• How does the reward cycle in our brain work?
• The influence of society, marketing and social media on our spending habits
• 6 ways to shift to more conscious spending
