From Financial Abuse to First Home: How Ashley Jones Rebuilt Her Life

Last time Ashley Jones joined us, she shared one of the toughest stories we've ever heard. She opened up about surviving domestic and financial abuse, fighting a legal system that kept her trapped, and turning that experience into the campaign that became Ashley's Law. Now she's back, and this conversation couldn't feel more different. Ashley joins Reagan to share an incredible full-circle moment after buying her very first home on her own. We talk about the emotions that came with homeownership, the grief of doing it alone, the financial lessons that made it possible, and why KiwiSaver played such a crucial role in getting her there. Ashley also reflects on the real-world impact Ashley's Law is already having for survivors across New Zealand, and shares a message of hope for anyone who feels like they're stuck. It's an honest, emotional and inspiring conversation about resilience, rebuilding and creating the future you deserve.

The Hidden Face of Poverty in New Zealand

We've spent plenty of time talking about earning, saving and investing money. This week, we're talking about something just as important. Giving it away. Sarah Page from Kindness Collective joins us for an honest conversation about generosity, poverty and what life really looks like for thousands of Kiwi families doing it tough. From starting the charity with a few cans from her pantry during her own battle with postnatal depression, to now supporting more than 130,000 people every year, Sarah shares the stories that continue to drive her life's work. We also unpack the changing face of poverty in New Zealand, why financial education still matters, and how even small acts of kindness can make a genuine difference, no matter what your own financial situation looks like.

The Truth About Building Wealth - And Why Money Mindset Matters More Than You Think

Money isn't just about dollars. It's about mindset, opportunity and the stories we tell ourselves. This week, I sit down with Te Kahukura Boynton, founder of Māori Millionaire, to unpack her remarkable journey from struggling with addiction and poor mental health to becoming one of New Zealand's most influential voices in financial education. Together we explore why financial literacy alone isn't enough, how trauma shapes our relationship with money, and why taking personal responsibility can exist alongside recognising the systemic barriers many people face. We also dive into investing, building long-term wealth, avoiding financial scams, creating better money habits and the advice every young New Zealander should hear before they start earning. Whether you're just beginning your financial journey or looking to reset your money mindset, this is a conversation packed with practical lessons and plenty of hope.

Inheritance, Wills, and The Cost of Not Planning Ahead

Wills Week is approaching! And after recently coming into some inheritance myself, I thought what better an opportunity than to discuss it right here on the podcast! Joining me for this week's discussion is Catherine Simpson from Public Trust, and later on, Shelley Palman from enable.me! Unpack everything you need to know about wills, estates, inheritance, executors, and why having a plan in place can save your family months, or even years, of stress. We talk through the biggest misconceptions, what happens if no will exists, how long estates really take to settle, and why naming the right executor matters more than most people realise. We also cover trusts, pets in wills, leaving money to charity, blended families, family disputes and the surprisingly common mistakes that can create expensive legal battles. Whether you've just bought your first home, started a family or simply keep putting it off, this episode is a practical guide to one of the most important pieces of financial planning you'll ever do. A message from Public Trust: This Wills Week (13-19 July) Public Trust is encouraging Kiwi to take a fresh look at how they plan for the future – including what happens to their pets when they pass away. A little planning now can help ensure your pet is looked after in the way you would want, giving you peace of mind for their future.

The Reality of Growing a Brand in NZ

What does it really take to build a successful business without investors, shortcuts, or overnight success stories? This week, I sit down with Aaron Styles, founder of Just Another Fisherman NZ, to talk about turning a lifelong passion for fishing into a growing family business. From starting as a hobby more than a decade ago to opening retail stores and building a loyal community, Aaron shares the realities of self-funding a brand and staying patient through the tough years. We also get into household budgeting, working alongside your partner, building customer loyalty through storytelling, and why some of the biggest opportunities for young people might not be where everyone thinks.
