This episode is, quite frankly, unhinged. Sophie sits down with Holly to hear one of the wildest relationship-and-money stories we’ve ever had on the podcast, involving property, trust, legal drama, a cancelled wedding, and the kind of plot twists that make you want to scream into a cushion. Without giving too much away, it’s a story about what can happen when love, money and home ownership get tangled together… and why protecting yourself financially isn’t unromantic, it’s essential. Juicy? Extremely. Educational? Absolutely. Please keep snacks nearby.

We’re proud to be partnering with BNZ, who know that home ownership isn’t a straight line. Sometimes life throws curveballs, and BNZ is all about supporting you through the hard stuff, not just the highlights.
