09 DEC 2025 By Robyn Tongol 1 min read Investor Strategy

The conversation begins with Benjamin sharing her journey from living paycheck to paycheck to creating a platform supporting over 70,000 women in wealth-building and financial literacy.

She recounts a pivotal moment in a London supermarket, where needing to ask a friend for money sparked her determination to take control of her finances and establish the club.

The discussion highlights common psychological barriers, such as embarrassment about financial knowledge and women's tendency to save diligently but hesitate to invest.

Benjamin emphasises practical strategies, including ‘rentvesting’, allowing women to enter the property market without overextending financially while building wealth elsewhere.

Through real-life examples, she demonstrates how accessible, relatable financial education can transform lives, from clearing debts to growing superannuation and investing in property.

The episode also explores mindset shifts, framing investing as a calculated opportunity rather than a gamble, and stresses the importance of starting financial education early.
