I love travelling overseas! It’s awesome to be able to experience other cultures and see the way other people live. Take my recent trip to Japan and Korea. Aside from the fascinating history, incredible food and gorgeous scenery, I was really intrigued by the Japanese people. It never ceases to amaze me how different people can be, depending on where they grew up ...
“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
You’ve probably heard this John Lennon quote before. But have you ever noticed how true it really is? You could have your ideal milestones all mapped out, from your first career steps to the age you think you’ll be ready to get married and have kids, right through to when you’d like ...

I was chatting with a friend over dinner the other night and she was talking about how she had dropped back from full-time to part-time work so she could pursue her goal of opening an online kid’s clothing store.

As you would have seen in my end of year update, Monarch has expanded! I’m so excited to welcome Brett Puxty and Francis Coggan to the team, as well as announce that Aleksandra is stepping into an even bigger role. Why the expansion?

The ad claims that life insurance through NobleOak is 20% cheaper than if you buy through an adviser or direct with an insurer.
They highlight that they only offer ...

If you’re working with a financial planner to help set up your life insurance, make sure they’re going to be there when they’re really needed – at claim time!
A referral partner recently asked me to help her client’s son who had sadly suffered a stroke. The son has insurance, so the client took on the job of lodging a claim on behalf of ...

For those who’ve followed my blog for a while now, you’ll know that the Coulters have an anniversary coming up next month. Yup, September marks eight years of wedded bliss for Rob and I! Like most couples, anniversaries are something we celebrate, usually with a glass (or two) of wine from one of our favourite vineyards.
But there’s another important anniversary that needs to ...

Last week I sat down with a couple to do a review of their insurances. It was a great meeting for a couple of reasons and I wanted to share the experience here…
I first started working with this couple a little over four years ago. Let’s call them Jack and Jill. Jack and Jill were newly married and wanted to get their life ...

Most people understand the need for car insurance, home and contents insurance and probably even health insurance. But when it comes to life insurance, it’s more difficult to picture yourself actually needing cover. We just don’t want to think about something bad happening to us or to our loved ones!
Part of my job, as a financial adviser, is to help people understand ...
