You probably haven’t heard much about investment bonds, and honestly, neither had we until Jess Bell blew our minds. They sound boring, but they’re actually one of the most flexible and surprisingly tax-efficient ways to invest, especially if you want more options than just super or a bank account.
In this episode Tash and Ana chat with Jess about how these work, why they’re not the same as government bonds, and how people are using them to invest for kids, save for school fees or future goals, and even take advantage of clever tax rules without needing a business structure.

Receiving an inheritance can be a highly emotional time. The guilt, the pressure, and the fear of getting it wrong can be a lot.
In this episode, Tash and Ana sit down with financial advisor Jess, to unpack the messy mix of money and emotion that comes with receiving or giving an inheritance. Jess opens up about losing her dad young, inheriting money at 18, and the mindset shift that helped her turn that legacy into her first home. It’s a raw, real conversation about what it means to honour where money comes from and how to make it work for your future.
They also dive deep into what a financial advisor really does, why so many people wait until it’s too late to get help, and how the right advice can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Many of us are striving to retire early, but what if that’s not the dream?
Serina Bird, a.k.a ‘The Joyful Frugalista’, built her identity around frugality and financial independence. Then she chose to go back to work, not because she had to, but because she wanted to.
In this conversation, Serina opens up about how frugality can actually expand your life, and why sometimes going “backwards” is the smartest money move you’ll ever make.
This isn’t your typical “save more, spend less” story. It’s about rewriting what financial freedom and personal fulfilment actually look like.
