Remember that moment...
when you realised your parents once had sex?
You can’t unknow something like that.
It’s the same with your money.
When you realise who is behind where your money is being invested or who you’re spending with – you can’t unknow that.
Let’s take your super (or retirement funds), for example.
If someone you loved died from lung cancer, chances are you don’t want your money invested in tobacco. Yet are you certain your super fund doesn’t invest in big tobacco today?
That was the case for Dr Bronwyn King, an oncologist who was horrified to discover she was fighting the effects of lung cancer everyday and investing in it with her retirement funds.
Once you become a conscious consumer and decide to understand the power behind your spending and your investing - it's hard to unknow it. There’s no closing your eyes and just forgetting.
Nor Should You.
So, where do you start?
Where do you start figuring out who you’re spending or investing with and what impact that is having?
With my Free Ethical Audit!
What Are Your Values?
Do you think about them when it comes to your spending and investing?
Perhaps donating to charities that rescue women from slavery or women’s domestic violence shelters is important to you, but you don’t know whether or not you are contributing to modern day slavery with your spending. Do you understand the supply chain of your favourite brands, or the principles behind your investments?
Let me help you understand more with my free ethical audit.
Download My Ethical Audit Here!Think modern slavery wasn’t happening in the western world? Even today men, women and children all over the world remain victims, and it's not just happening in third world countries.
The Facts Are Alarming.
Did you know that in Australia, the five imported products most at risk of modern slavery are electronics, garments, fish, rice and cocoa. Think of just how many products you consume that fit into those five categories alone. Frightening to think about.
While the facts are indeed confronting, and the problem feels insurmountable, there is something you can do about it...
And It Starts With You

Think those high interest rates are the worst of it?
You may not realise it, but many of the institutions you bank with are potentially large investors in fossil fuel, weaponry and other asset classes that you feel incredibly uncomfortable with.
I encourage you to start investigating where you spend your money...& I don’t mean feeling overwhelmed by trying to fix it all in one day, one week, one month or even one year.
But I do encourage you to start, even with just your favourite brand.
How you do that is one step at a time and it starts with understanding how you’re spending and investing.

Hi, I'm Mel!
I'm not your typical money or finance chick. Yes, I'm an ex-accountant, ex-financial advisor & global best-selling author but I'm also a multi-millionaire after having started with less than nothing in my early thirties.
The truth is I've made some stupid mistakes along the way (humbling for a finance chick to admit to) but now in my 40s I have the choice to work or not. And no, I wasn't born to wealth and come from a very working-class western Sydney area.
Today, I'm passionate about helping women particularly reduce their financial overwhelm, understand why they behave with money the way we do, build their financial confidence, teach about investing and financial strategies and help them design a life they're excited about.
