Welcome to The Overdraft Confessions! aka, Fiscally Challenged podcast.

In this episode, I’m joined by my soul sister Zoë (she/her) for a light-hearted and eye-opening conversation about our adventures living in London on meagre media-professional paychecks. A Sydney native and new mom, Zoë works in advertising, loves attending galleries and gigs, and has called London home for over a decade.

Together, we dive into the humourous and heartfelt moments of navigating financial challenges - living in our overdrafts, debt dilemmas and crafting meals from the Tesco yellow-label section. We reflect on how our upbringings and social backgrounds have influenced our financial habits, including the awkwardness of asking for pay rises and the questionable gaps in our financial literacy, despite both having over 20 years of work experience.

London is a thriving metropolis that attracts people seeking professional and personal opportunities, but many grapple with the skyrocketing living costs. We discuss the struggle of balancing creative passions with everyday expenses, highlighting the shared experience of dreams colliding with economic realities.

Join us as we laugh and try not to cry through this very vulnerable chat about money struggles and growth and the hope that our kids will be able to chase their dreams with confidence. Let's advocate for better financial education and turn the challenges of today into the successes of tomorrow!
