OMG, I Bought My Daughter A Camilla Dress
What’s in a Camilla Dress? Firstly, let me state that this is a judgement free zone. As I have admitted previously, I am happy to take out a small mortgage on a pair of boots but wince at spending $20 on a taxi – as long as you stick to the overall budget, it’s up to you what you spend on. Personally, I don’t believe in designer dresses for a 10-yr old. My kids get most of their clothes on the Myer sale – cute, good quality and...

What’s a Money Therapist?
A money therapist? Does that sound like a relationship therapist or a counsellor of some description? I often think we can spend far too much time obessing over money, yet I am finding more and more people are exploring the idea of seeking money therapists, as they might seek couples relationship counselling. A few reasons come to mind: We worry about losing what we have (even if we have multiple millions) We constantly agonise about...
This is why yoga works
This is why yoga works for improving core strength. For a long time I was very confused about what core strength truly meant. In yoga classes, the cue “engage your core” didn’t mean anything, as I had no idea what to do or not do, which muscles to engage etc. Even more confusing was the idea that I had to keep my belly soft while engaging my core. So I started looking into it and came across a booklet ‘Functional Pilates‘...

As we all know understanding superannuation can be tricky at the best of times, let alone with the changes that have recently been made. My inbox has been bombarded with emails from clients, in particular women, asking for some clarity on what these changes mean to their super. Here is my guide to demystifying the changes: There’s an old saying which we all know “Count your pennies wisely and...
Four Money Personality Types
What do personality types have to do with money? Well, I have two kids and over Halloween I give them two identical buckets which they fill by going from house to house. By the time we get home my son, bless him, has eaten or given all his lollies away and complaining of a sore tummy.

Four reasons a woman’s financial needs are different
The Federal budget that was just released, I thought it would be interesting to talk about one thing it omits – the difference between a woman’s and a man’s financial needs. It is a given most financial planners are men, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that financial plans are built around them. A woman’s needs are a little different. Firstly, women live longer than men and it’s wonderful! Unfortunately, longevity comes at a cost –...

Hello, my name is Marisa. I am a financial advisor and a mum of two, with a passion for educating and empowering women to take care of themselves financially.
