HWHW 2025: What she said, videos and a 2026 tease

It's been almost four weeks since our very first conference Her Wealth Her Way and I am still coming to terms with what was truly the most incredible day. When I first envisioned what the day could be I wanted it to capture what a finance conference could be if it was created by women for women. If it combined the smarts, the practical and the heart and from your feedback I think we delivered that in spades.

Here is just a sprinkling of what you've said:

"I believe you have created something exceptionally powerful. If you ran this conference a century ago you would have been accused of witchcraft which I think is a great way of knowing if you're onto something really good!

 Knowing what you do about women, blocks to finances and the nature of disempowerment, you paved the way for us to get into the emotional and mental state to really hear what you and your speakers wanted us to know. The mirror decals, the colour scheme, the music, the music video clips and America Ferrera's monologue raised the vibe in the room from 'we are ready to learn about finances and have blocks we don't even know about' to 'I can see what I need to do' and  'show me the money!' 

 I have not stopped talking about the conference to anyone who will listen.  I spoke with my husband about it that night and the discussions have continued.  We have a 2.5 year old daughter and are both now very aware that we want her to have healthy beliefs about money.  This was already something on our minds and the conference helped to give me some of the language to discuss it in a way that my husband could hear because he did not receive the same messages growing up, partly because he is a male and partly because he didn't grow up in Australia. 

 My friends and I have all had some serious 'ah huh' moments when talking through Dr Rebecca Ray's information.   I talk about the conference and the information you shared at least 4 times a week.  I think about it every single day.   Your life experience, professional skills and work ethic were alchemised into something truly transformative.  

 I hope your cup is still full from the event. From the bottom of my heart, thank you xx" Jessica

"HMHW was the most incredible day. It was perfectly curated in every aspect and the speakers were all of the highest quality with the most empowering messages. I feel as though it will be a pivotal moment in my life as I walked away feeling so inspired to change the future of my family. The over-arching message of "I am enough" began from the moment I gave myself permission to invest the time and money in myself to attend and it rippled through every element of the event. Mel, your community is of such a high calibre and the energy that you created in that room will ripple throughout each of our lives. Thank you for such an extraordinary event!" Tanya

"Thank you Mel for creating such a phenomenal event. It was the perfect mix of inspiration, education, connection and impact. Looking forward to the next one!" Shona

"I have followed Mel for five years now and been a part of the MFAP community for 3. I didn't think I could  be exposed to any more info around what she teaches, but I was very wrong. The speakers Mel engaged to be a part of the day were amazing and I went home informed, ready to do more research and with a proud moment of I'm doing a great job. Owen Rask's comment of being an optimist will make you money, and your buying in today's dollars and sell in future dollars will stick with me forever. Rebecca Ray's comment about the energetic load will catch up with you clarified so much for me, and can't wait to get her new book. My take away is slow and steady wins the race. And just do something. A brilliant day, thank you." Shelley

Her Wealth, Her Way Conference Rocked! Words cannot articulate the energy of the room. The consequence of the day: increased motivation to take action, new friends to hold me accountable, more inspiration, more belief in myself and the possibilities of financially a better future. So why can't I have financial freedom & choice! Selena

 "This event gave me the opportunity to focus on my finances, meet new friends & learn just how easy it is to get started investing. Wow - what an incredible day, thank you Mel & team for thinking of everything to make this meaningful, outcomes driven & fun! I can’t remember the last conference I’ve attended that ticked all the boxes". Allison

And if you're still reading after all of that gloriousness, here's your sneaky save the date: Friday 9 October because despite me going into HWHW thinking this would be a one and done, you know you've convinced me that we're going to run another one right? 

But here's the thing, in our survey 95% of people said they would come again and 99% of those who turned up solo (which was half the room) said they would bring a friend.

So despite us looking into a bigger CBD based venue for next year, we know this will be a sell out too. Click here to make sure you're on the Waitlist for the 2026 Her Wealth Her Way click HERE

 With thanks once more to our incredible sponsors who we couldn't have created what HWHW ended up being without.
