After years of caring for others, through divorce, separation, grief, a TPD claim, or supporting ageing parents, it is common to feel guilty for spending money or time on themselves.

In this episode, Nathan and Jordan explore why investing in yourself isn't indulgent… it's necessary.

We unpack the practical and emotional benefits of using a small portion of your settlement money or inheritance to rebuild your wellbeing.

From personal coaching, psychology, and movement, to nutrition, styling, and confidence; these investments often create greater long-term life satisfaction than anything in your bank account.

This episode is about giving yourself permission to come first again.

Most people buy personal insurance when life is busy; mortgages, kids, careers; but years later the renewal notice arrives and you wonder: Do I still need this?

In this episode, Nathan and Jordan break down the four core types of personal insurance (Life, TPD, Trauma and Income Protection) and reframe the whole conversation away from products and premiums, and toward the events that actually change your life.

They explore: • How to think about financial consequences of death, disability, critical illness or temporary loss of income • How to assess what you can "self-insure" vs. what would devastate your family • Why reviewing cover every 1–2 years protects you from over- or under-insuring • The hidden dignity and freedom insurance can provide during the worst moments of life.
