Recording from a doctor’s office before a PRP facial, Coco Dee expands on “girl math” and how jokingly justifying spending (like buying more because it’s on sale) can keep women stuck, especially those who already struggle with money.  Coco reframes money as a simple game with clear parameters, pointing to compound interest as proof of how powerful small, consistent choices can be over 10–20 years and how “girl math” can compound against you, too.  Her core reminder is that today’s decisions are seeds: you often feel the results two to three years later, just like training or leaving an unhealthy relationship has a messy middle before the payoff.  She encourages being expansive, but not reckless, and to make choices that build wealth, legacy, or a financial buffer. 00:00 Doctor Office Intro 00:26 What Girl Math Means 02:01 Money Game and Compounding 03:41 Choices Plant Seeds 05:01 Messy Middle and Rewards 06:03 Garden Analogy for Money 06:26 PRP and Skin Investment 07:08 No Scrooge Final Reminder 07:33 Wrap Up and Goodbye If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

Coco shares a clip from the  Women’s Wealth Week workshop on adding immediate cash flow to household and business budgets (often $100–$400+ per week), emphasizing that cutting expenses isn’t the only lever and that income goals must be worked backwards with tax to reach the desired post-tax amount.  Participants discuss targets (including replacing lost or part-time income), burnout, and time constraints, while the speaker offers practical, non-glamorous ways to earn more by solving everyday problems child pickup support, ironing, domestic cleaning, lunch prep, dog walking/poo pickup, bin cleaning, letterbox dropping, mending, driving neighbors, display home hosting, renting storage or space, and delivery work like Uber Eats, paired with setting boundaries, family buy-in, and short-term discomfort.  The session also addresses mindset blocks, especially guilt and fear of asking for money, reframing selling as helping and not deciding “no” on others’ behalf. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:18 Money Goals Workshop 01:42 Reality Check With Tax 03:33 Why Past Attempts Failed 05:24 Discomfort and Hustle Season 06:49 Grandma Helper Post 10:15 Family Buy In Boundaries 11:47 Skills That Pay Fast 12:46 Simple Side Hustle Ideas 15:25 Solve Real Problems 16:07 Behind the Scenes Grind 17:05 Childcare Build Delays 17:39 Start Simple Side Hustles 18:51 Rapid Fire Local Ideas 19:58 Bins and Boomers Market 21:08 More Low Effort Gigs 23:18 Why She Moved Abroad 24:18 Renting Space for Cash 25:29 Excuses and Money Mindset 28:07 Guilt Charging for Work 29:21 Beck’s Weekend Income Stack 31:54 Reframing the Ask 33:27 Closing Mom Gang Energy If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

Coco welcomes her longtime friend Tamz to Keep The Change to unpack a Louis Theroux documentary on “the manosphere,” described as online communities and influencers focused on male identity, framed around men “losing power” and regaining dominance through money, status, and control often at women’s expense. They recommend watching the documentary (ideally with teenagers) and discuss how the featured figures monetize attention through livestream gifts, referral-style financial promotions, courses, and OnlyFans management, arguing much of it is performative rage-bait marketing. They highlight contradictions like demeaning sex workers while profiting from them, a “one-way monogamy” relationship, and claims dismissing women’s inventions, while noting fatherlessness and identity loss tied to provider roles. They compare this to predatory influencer dynamics in women’s spaces, touch on AI-driven economic shifts, and close with advice for women: education, asking questions, and maintaining financial literacy and independence (including having a separate bank account). 00:00 Welcome and guest intro 00:39 Why this documentary 02:16 Meet Tamz 03:17 Louis Theroux approach 04:21 What is manosphere 05:30 Teens and influence 06:47 Predatory marketing tactics 08:14 Performative misogyny exposed 10:30 Three figures overview 10:37 Hs Ticky Talky breakdown 13:39 Family dynamics and fatherlessness 16:25 How influencers profit 19:20 Teaching kids media literacy 21:29 Courses and reality TV effect 27:11 Trad wife parallels 28:59 Salesmanship and ethics 30:20 Unbothered For Pay 31:07 OnlyFans And Fresh Fit 32:09 Farmer Belle Case Study 33:35 Justin Waller Profile 37:18 Women Sphere Parallels 41:17 Dismantling Patriarchy 42:35 AI And Social Shifts 47:32 Smoke And Mirrors Wealth 50:18 Why Manosphere Rising 55:50 Financial Impact On Women 58:57 Never Be Dependent 01:02:44 Wrap Up And Goodbye Instagram - Tamz Jade - https://tinyurl.com/u7npcymc Tiktok Video - Myrone Gaines - https://tinyurl.com/fdw2yuz4 TIktok VIideo Nara Smith - https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSHJhjGNC/ If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

Coco shares a short, fiery snippet from Women’s Wealth Week day three, reminding listeners that even the wealthiest people have lost huge amounts of money and that losing money is often part of business.  She unpacks the myth of “overnight success” with examples of long, behind-the-scenes timelines, including a singer-songwriter who spent 13 years writing for others before being asked to perform her own hit, and a friend whose simple Kindle strap idea became a multimillion-dollar product.  Coco challenges the “cut your coffee” scarcity mindset, arguing small savings won’t meaningfully shift a household budget and can crush joy, and instead prompts listeners to identify what’s really stopping them from making more money, time, fear, habits, or not knowing what’s possible then to share their takeaways with her. 00:00 Podcast Intro and Snippet 01:20 Wealthy People Lose Money 03:26 Overnight Success Myth 06:07 Kindle Straps Shark Tank 08:12 Stop Scrimping Start Earning 10:19 What Blocks You From More 11:11 Wrap Up and Call to Action If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

In this short, sharp episode from Women’s Wealth Week, Coco Dee  tackles the “I’m too old” story and why it makes us give up just as life is calling us forward. She shares powerful perspective-shifters like Anna Rose’s podcast interview with her 70-year-old mother, a single mum of five who survived domestic violence, kept going, and now owns her home and reminds us that success often comes later than we think (like Louise Hay becoming known at 68).  Coco unpacks how we unconsciously seek evidence to validate victimhood, why chasing external validation keeps you stuck, and why problems don’t disappear with bigger income highlighting a founder with a $100M business still doing basic tasks herself and losing $50K without stopping.  She closes by challenging vague “how” questions, urging better questions, intuition, and pointing listeners to episode 83, “The How.” 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:11 Too Old Mindset 02:42 Stop Feeding Stories 04:09 Mom Guilt and Support 04:50 No One Owes You 06:08 100M Founder Reality 09:38 Go All In Intuition 10:33 Step Up Alternative 11:30 Ask Better Questions 14:38 Abrupt Cut and Wrap If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

On day one of Women’s Wealth Week, Coco explores why women avoid money, drawing from audience responses such as feeling not smart enough, family money programming, fear of wrong decisions, scarcity beliefs, and fear of losing freedom or security. She focuses on the common fear of losing money, arguing that high earners lose money regularly and that risk and mistakes are part of wealth-building.  She shares her own history of early property success, hitting a mindset “ceiling,” divorce, rebuilding from scratch, and losing millions multiple times, framing these losses as pivotal lessons.  Coco challenges listeners to identify the real “why” behind their fear, confront comfort-zone attachment, reject toxic positivity, and choose the difficult actions that plant seeds for future results, including while parenting and navigating relationships. 00:00 Welcome And Theme 00:16 Chat Stories On Money 00:57 Fear Of Losing Money 02:41 Digging Into The Why 03:39 Audience Shares Real Fears 05:36 Host Money Backstory 08:41 Losing Millions Twice 09:34 Choosing Hard And Growth 13:09 Comfort Zone Questions 14:30 Comfort Zone Paradox 14:45 Fear of Losing Time 15:35 Partner Blame Story 16:44 Choosing Your Tradeoffs 18:11 Kids See Your Hustle 20:32 Postpartum Survival Mode 22:08 Luck Is Earned 24:41 Friends and New Doors 26:39 Aha Moments and Wrap If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

In this episode of Keep the Change, Coco sits down with Kate to break down what due diligence (DD) really means: learning how to research opportunities, spot red flags, and make grounded decisions instead of emotional ones driven by FOMO. They open with an investment loss-and-recovery table to show why protecting capital matters like how a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even, and a 90% loss requires 900% and why understanding your downside tolerance humbles you, stabilises your emotions, and protects your long-term compounding. Coco and Kate explain how “fantasy vs nightmare” thinking can distort judgement, why time and a second set of eyes help make blind spots conscious, and why you should never feel pressured or “bamboozled” by complex language or sales pitches. They share two real examples: a fund marketed as delivering 20% p.a. from Australian shares, and a leveraged crypto trading fund promoted by influencers claiming 12% per month. For the Australian share fund, Kate outlines practical DD checks: unclear strategy descriptions, guaranteed returns, missing ASIC licensing/registration, investors owning units in a structure rather than the underlying shares, liquidity realities of the ASX (especially for small caps), and a major red flag when the referrer said they “got in trouble” for questions. They also discuss incentives—referral fees, what’s “in it” for the person selling it—and why being told not to ask questions is a deal-breaker. Coco  notes ASIC later froze the fund’s assets and alleged it may be a Ponzi scheme, with some investors reportedly putting 100% of their self-managed super into it and losing everything. In the crypto example, they describe how leverage and a lack of stop-losses led to an intraday volatility event that wiped accounts to zero, with some investors adding more money only to lose it immediately. They highlight behavioural warning signs: inflated hype, promises of replacing income easily, and marketing-driven “instant riches” narratives. The core message: emotions and money don’t mix; preserving capital is the first job of an investor; ask hard questions, trust your intuition, diversify, avoid guaranteed returns, and walk away when things feel off. They encourage listeners to bet on themselves, move steadily over time, and not let losses destroy confidence and compounding. They invite DMs for questions, ask listeners to share the episode, and emphasise getting more money into the hands of women who are educated and wise about money for community ripple effects. 00:00 Welcome to Keep the Change + What ‘Due Diligence’ Really Means 01:29 Why Losses Hurt More Than Gains: The Investment Loss & Recovery Table 03:54 Staying Grounded: Emotions, ‘Fantasy vs Nightmare,’ and Avoiding FOMO 07:28 Make the Unconscious Conscious: Blind Spots, Second Opinions, and Taking Time 08:53 Real-World Cautionary Tales: Two Investments Going Wrong (Setting the Stage) 11:18 Case Study #1 The ‘20% p.a.’ Fund: Website Hype, Jargon, and Guaranteed Returns 16:27 Regulation & Control: ASIC Licensing, Ownership Structure, and Who Holds the Assets 20:30 Don’t Go All-In: Position Sizing & Capital Allocation Rules 21:32 The Liquidity Reality Check: Why 20% p.a. on Aussie Shares Can Be Impossible 23:53 Due Diligence Pushback: ‘Stop Asking Questions’ as a Major Red Flag 26:31 Structure & Security: Unsecured Investments and ‘Bet on Yourself’ 27:55 Follow the Incentives: Referrer Fees, Pushiness, and Conflicts of Interest 29:55 ASIC Steps In: Fund Frozen, Ponzi Allegations, and the Human Cost 32:44 Wrap-Up Principles: Ask Hard Question If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

In this episode of Keep the Change, Coco Dee records with her long-time friend Kate Moloney to unpack how market hype drives FOMO and emotional decision-making, particularly for people new to investing. They respond to a viral influencer rant about Bitcoin, noting its 42% drop in six months, and use it as a case study in human behaviour, emotional attachment to assets, validation seeking, and shaming others into buying.  Kate shares her approach as a systematic share trader, using coded rules, backtesting, stress testing, and clear exit strategies without attachment, and contrasts this with all-in investing that creates nervous system volatility and poor decisions. Together they emphasise capital preservation, having an exit plan, diversification (even within the same asset class), keeping a cash buffer, and running worst-case scenarios.  Coco shares a real business example from opening a childcare where delays doubled the cash required, reinforcing why buffers matter and why you should never invest money you can’t afford to have tied up.  The episode wraps with a reminder to ignore online noise, avoid pedestal thinking, invest in line with your own risk profile, and let long-term strategy and compounding do the heavy lifting. 00:00 Welcome to Keep the Change + Meet Kate Moloney" 01:23 Why We’re Here: Debunking Hype, FOMO & “Not Financial Advice” 03:43 The Bitcoin Influencer Rant: What It Reveals About Investor Psychology 05:46 Systematic Trading 101: Rules, Backtesting & Zero Emotion 09:11 Capital Preservation & Drawdowns: Why Losses Hurt More Than You Think 13:59 Stress-Testing Any Investment (Property, Business, Anything) 17:22 Buffers & Diversification: Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket 20:57 Get-Rich-Quick Myths vs Compound Interest (and Keeping Cash Aside) 22:55 Know Yourself: Risk Profile, Nervous System & Ignoring Online Noise 24:42 Lessons From Our Own Mistakes + Final Takeaways & Wrap-Up If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

In this candid Keep the Change update, I share what I’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks, from celebrating my 40th birthday with surprise parties and family getaways to a deeper appreciation of how both long and short life really is. I then dive into one of the biggest lessons from 20 years in business and investing: time is your greatest asset, and short term thinking leads to emotional, fear based decisions that can wipe people out. I reflect on my early Queensland property portfolio, what I learned from liquidating during my divorce, and why I have no regret, only perspective.  We talk cycles too, why 2026 is the peak, why new entrants will see different short term results than long term holders, and why steady compounding over decades beats chasing quick wins. I also unpack why money and emotions don’t mix, how I work with my own emotional authority, and why sowing seeds financially, physically, and personally requires patience. I share a behind the scenes look at my mindset work with Nathaly hypnosis, including a current challenge around believing in the permanence of wealth, plus what I’ve found genuinely effective for growth like the Demartini Method.  I wrap with an update that I’m doing an AI course in February 2026, heading to Australia for a week, and will likely record more episodes soon,  Also just a reminder to share the podcast and sign up for the summit below.  00:00 Welcome Back: Raw Audio, No Studio Needed 01:20 Life Update: 40th Birthday Celebrations & Gratitude 02:14 Life Is Long and Short: Time, Wealth, and Patience 03:46 Lessons From Early Property Investing (and Letting Go of FOMO) 04:57 Cycle Talk: Stop Chasing Quick Wins, Think Long-Term 07:51 Money + Emotions Don’t Mix: Sleep on Big Decisions 09:22 Sowing Seeds: Why Growth (and Gains) Take Time 10:09 Behind the Scenes: Self-Judgment, Mindset Work & Hypnosis 12:48 Breaking the Pattern: Building Permanent Wealth (Ego Pushback) 16:48 Coaches, Therapy, and What Actually Works (DiMartini Method) 19:10 What’s Next: AI Course, Australia Trip, and Final Notes  Join the Women's Wealth Week Summit   Hypnosis with Nathaly | Oracle If you're after some more goodies I have a FREE 5-Day Mindset Reset for you called  Wealthy Women Win You can also follow me on Instagram

In this soul-stirring episode, I go straight for the heart: how guilt is quietly sabotaging your next level of expansion; in wealth, impact, joy and unapologetic living. We’ve all felt it: that subtle (or not-so-subtle) voice whispering you don’t deserve more, that wanting bigger is “greedy,” that success might come at someone else’s expense, or that past mistakes mean you have to stay small to “make up for it.” But guilt isn’t just an emotion; it’s a contraction that blocks the flow of money, opportunities, and sovereignty. So when everyone else is buying into the hysteria, worrying about missing out and what their friend group is going to think of them; you are happily building and creating what it is you have always wanted, without a care in the world for what anyone thinks of you. That, to me, sounds like bliss and what dreams are made of. This can be you too!

I get asked all the time: "How do you have so many businesses and do it all?" In today's episode, I answer this question BUT I’m also doing a deep dive into why asking "how" comes from a place of fear and not trusting that you’ll get it right.  Spoiler alert: there are NO right or wrong answers. Following the ‘proven path’, at times, can be detrimental to your outcomes compared to if the decisions were based solely on your experience, creativity, and deepest intuition.

You may or may not know that for the past 18 months I’ve been in a relationship and you guys, it’s getting serious! It’s the most important and potent relationship I’ve ever had in my life. It’s the one I’m having with my intuition.   Back in the day, I used to ignore and push down my feelings because #ihadtogetshitdone of course, this type of avoidance has a way of catching up with us. It affected how I showed up in all of my relationships and in the way I ran my businesses.  Deep down I worried if I didn't hurry, nothing would come together and I’d be a giant failure. Ironically, it was this energy and behaviour that actually caused me to fail :P In today’s episode, I’m sharing my story in the hopes you can learn from my epic failures but also so you can see how our energy really does determine how successful we become -- in every area of our life.
