So many women describe themselves as “not good with money” but that story isn’t a fact. It’s a pattern. And patterns can be changed. 

In this episode of Fernwood Unfiltered, host Georgie Tunny sits down with award-winning financial services innovator, certified money coach, and founder of Money Strong Australia, Marion Mays, to talk about what it really means to be financially strong as a woman, and how to get there, no matter where you’re starting from. 

Marion brings a refreshingly human approach to money, one rooted in behavioural science rather than spreadsheets. She unpacks why so many women feel behind, what’s really holding them back, and the mindset shifts that change everything. From understanding your financial identity to navigating money in relationships, this conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt like money is someone else’s domain.
