Your 30s can feel like a decade of competing priorities: career growth, relationships, children, housing, travel, ageing parents, and the pressure to "have it all figured out."

In this episode of Money Talk Real Talk, Trish Gregory and Suzanne Alexander sit down with Danielle Walt, Director of Policy at Financial Counselling Australia, to unpack what really matters financially in your 30s.

Together they explore:

✅ The biggest money mistakes people make in their 30s
✅ Why understanding your relationship with money matters as much as understanding your numbers
✅ How to build financial confidence, even if you've avoided money conversations for years
✅ The importance of buffers, boundaries, and financial safety nets
✅ Why financial success looks different for everyone

Danielle shares her own journey of raising a family while studying and building a career, proving that there is no single path to financial success.

Plus, learn about the National Debt Helpline and where to get support if money feels overwhelming.

Because winning financially isn't about keeping up with everyone else. It's about creating a life that feels right for you.
