About this episode

This inspiring Money Diarist grew up with a financially irresponsible and manipulative father, then became homeless from the age of 20 to 22. But she managed to flip her life around entirely and independently bought my first unit at age 25! She's now working in mental health and we cannot wait to share her wonderful story with you!
