Talking Trading | Australian Sharemarket Strategies, Education & Trading Psychology

What would you do if you lost everything? 

In this powerful episode of Talking Trading, trading mentor Louise Bedford talks with Michelle Coomey, who went from devastating losses during the Global Financial Crisis to building open profits in the millions through disciplined Index Trading and unshakeable trading psychology.

Michelle reveals the emotional toll of losing big — the self-doubt, fear, and pressure — and how she rebuilt her confidence and her fortune through the Trading Game Mentor Program. Her journey shows that true wealth comes from resilience, structure, and the courage to keep going when everything falls apart.

If you’ve ever faced setbacks in the Australian sharemarket or wondered whether success is still possible after failure, this episode will reignite your belief in what’s possible.

Listen in and discover how persistence, education, and mindset can turn catastrophe into financial freedom.
