We are back with Shelley Palman from enable.me to dissect the reality of living with a million-dollar mortgage.

With interest rates creeping back up, we talk through the power of splitting loans into tranches, scraping debt off the top using revolving credit, and why floating your whole loan is usually a trap.

Plus, a check-in on whether automation and discipline are actually delivering real progress.

We all set massive financial goals, but why is it so hard to stick to them?

In the very first edition of 'The Money Brief’, Reagan sits down with Rebecca Starkey from Enable Me to look into the psychology of goal setting.

We discuss why relying on pure willpower will always backfire, how to save yourself from yourself through automation, and why celebrating small wins is key to long-term success.

We all want to boost our earning power, but asking the boss for a pay rise can feel bloody terrifying.

In this episode, host Reagan sits down with psychologist Sara Chatwin to break down why money chats trigger our anxiety and how we can flip the script. From picking the right day to framing your value, we run through practical, stress-free hacks to help you step up and ask for what you’re worth.

Wait, so doomscrolling may actually be helping our country? 

This week, we caught up with Economist Brad Olsen to talk about the newest report on TikTok's contributions to New Zealand - particularly the economy.

Brad speaks on the specific findings of the report, including the $1.2 billion contribution to the economy, and what this means for consumers and businesses in Aotearoa. 

We also have Kiwi Business 'PiknMix' owner Merritt Watson on the pod, who shares how much impact the app has had on him and his business.

Whether you are a content creator, a local business, or a TikTok user, there is an interesting gem in this chat for everyone.

Pay down debt. Grow wealth. Retire well.

Welcome back to Where's My Money? While we're between seasons, we're replaying some of the episodes that really stuck with people.

If you've ever wondered why concert tickets cost so much, or what it actually takes to keep a band like SIX60 on the road, this one's for you.

This isn't just a chat about music. It's about risk, margins, logistics, and running one of New Zealand's biggest entertainment businesses.Here's my yarn with Chris Mac from SIX60 and promoter Dave Munro.

While we're taking a short break, we're revisiting some of our biggest episodes from the year.

This one's about love... and the thing couples might argue about more than almost anything else: surprise - it's money.

From who pays on the first date, to financial red flags, to the conversations that can make or break a relationship, this episode might save you a few expensive mistakes.

Last time Ashley Jones joined us, she shared one of the toughest stories we've ever heard. She opened up about surviving domestic and financial abuse, fighting a legal system that kept her trapped, and turning that experience into the campaign that became Ashley's Law. Now she's back, and this conversation couldn't feel more different.

Ashley joins Reagan to share an incredible full-circle moment after buying her very first home on her own. We talk about the emotions that came with homeownership, the grief of doing it alone, the financial lessons that made it possible, and why KiwiSaver played such a crucial role in getting her there.

Ashley also reflects on the real-world impact Ashley's Law is already having for survivors across New Zealand, and shares a message of hope for anyone who feels like they're stuck. It's an honest, emotional and inspiring conversation about resilience, rebuilding and creating the future you deserve.

Pay Down Debt. Grow Wealth. Retire Well.

We've spent plenty of time talking about earning, saving and investing money. This week, we're talking about something just as important. Giving it away.

Sarah Page from Kindness Collective joins us for an honest conversation about generosity, poverty and what life really looks like for thousands of Kiwi families doing it tough.

From starting the charity with a few cans from her pantry during her own battle with postnatal depression, to now supporting more than 130,000 people every year, Sarah shares the stories that continue to drive her life's work.

We also unpack the changing face of poverty in New Zealand, why financial education still matters, and how even small acts of kindness can make a genuine difference, no matter what your own financial situation looks like.
