Money with Alpha

In this episode of Money with Alpha, we dive into what I like to call Money School — the foundational lessons we all wish we'd been taught about money, but weren't.

Just like school gave us structure for learning, we can create our own curriculum for financial wisdom — one that blends knowledge with experience and real-life relevance.

There is an upside to learning about money as an adult - we have real-world experience which makes us (hopefully) better able to understand how to apply what we learn to our lives. The wisdom that comes with age gives us an advantage here!

Alpha walks through the five core fundamentals of Money School, helping you move from confusion to clarity, and from reaction to intentional action with your money.

1. What money really is – beyond numbers and emotions, it's simply a tool for value exchange.

2. How much money you truly need (and want) – and why clarity here changes everything.

3. How you earn – identifying ways to earn aligned with your skills, passions, and lifestyle.

4. What to do with the money you earn – learning the balance between saving, spending, and investing.

5. Why automation is freedom – how setting systems helps you stress less and live more.

Money is a tool, not a test. When you understand how to earn, use, and automate it, you unlock the freedom to focus on what really matters — living the life you choose.

In this episode we go through:

• Why school-style maths and real-life money skills are different

• The 5 levers that matter more than maths: Beliefs, Technology, Knowledge, Clear Actions, Consistency

• How to use calculators and automation so progress happens on autopilot

• The mindset shift from "I work for money" to "money works for me"

• Practical micro-actions you can take this week (no equations needed)

Key takeaways:

1. Remove the label "bad at maths"—it's not a useful metric for money success

2. Use technology to calculate; use your judgment to decide

3. Start small (automate $50/month, review subscriptions, set a monthly money date)

4. Consistency compounds confidence.

You'll also hear personal stories and relatable examples (including a hilarious one involving a stuffed crocodile!) that remind us how easily we can find time and money for what truly matters — when we decide to.

Maree shares her approach to sales that's all about connection, service, and genuine care — without the pressure or "ick factor."

• Why sales is not about pushing or persuading — it's about helping.

• The critical distinction between marketing (getting leads) and sales (converting leads).

• Maree's seven-step sales process and why 80% of sales success happens in the first two steps.

• How niching by values — not industry — can transform your business.

Money isn't just about numbers—it's about freedom, choices, and building the life you want. But for many women, managing money feels overwhelming or unclear. In this solo episode, I introduce you to the Money Momentum Pathway, a powerful framework designed to help you move from financial confusion to confidence.

The pathway is built on three key pillars:

• Clarity – getting clear on your values and long-term vision so money supports what matters most.

• Visibility – seeing where your money is going and how it's working for you.

• Flexibility – adapting your financial plan as your life, priorities, and goals evolve.

Together, these three elements create momentum—and with momentum comes motivation. Instead of worrying about "sticking to a budget," you'll find yourself asking, "How much more can I invest this month?"

This episode will inspire you to look at money differently—not as something to restrict you, but as a tool to create freedom, security, and joy.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why clarity about your values is the foundation of empowered money decisions.

• How financial visibility shifts you from feeling out of control to confident.

• Why flexibility is essential as life and goals evolve.

• How momentum makes managing money feel natural, purposeful, and exciting.
