About this episode

This week's guest is Vicki Wusche who went from living on benefits with her two children to becoming listed as one of  The Telegraph's most Influential People in property. She's written five books and helps others secure their financial futures.

Brave New You TRIBE podcast Host, artist & illustrator, Lou Hamilton chatted with Vicki as they discussed how she escaped an abusive marriage, with her two young children, learned to budget on benefits, got herself to University, became a business lecturer and then got into property. Living in chronic pain she built a property portfolio and started to mentor people in non-traditional wealth retirement plans. She shows that no matter how dark things get you can always pull yourself up and out of it.

In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.
