Have you ever trusted that everything was “handled”, only to realise later that you didn’t actually know where you stood financially? What if understanding your finances wasn’t about control, but about safety, choice, and freedom?

For many women, financial vulnerability doesn’t begin after separation. It begins much earlier, when financial decisions are quietly handed over, information is withheld, or money feels too overwhelming to engage with. The consequences often appear later, during divorce, illness, or crisis, when it is hardest to rebuild.

In this episode, Christina Jamieson explains why women must know their finances in relationships and how financial literacy can be the difference between surviving and thriving. Drawing on her lived experience and more than 25 years as a mortgage broker and property strategist, Christina shares what she sees every day with women navigating separation, rebuilding after divorce, and trying to secure stable housing. Together, we explore why financial knowledge matters long before anything goes wrong, how financial imbalance creates risk, and what women can do to protect themselves and their children.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from money decisions, relied on a partner to manage finances, or worried about what would happen if your circumstances changed, this episode is essential listening.

🎧 Press play now to understand why knowing your finances in relationships is one of the most powerful forms of protection a woman can have.
