Meet Melissa

After 25+ years in financial services at Sunsuper, Suncorp and Westpac, I saw a pattern: people don’t struggle with money because they’re bad with numbers. They struggle because money is emotional.

I founded Talking Money to create a space for real, warm, honest conversations about money. Not just budgets and spreadsheets, but the beliefs and behaviours underneath it all.

Money should feel clear, not complicated. Supportive, not stressful. And something you can be proud of handling.
