How to Start Investing in Australia: A Beginner's Guide for Women ft. Jessica Leung

Briony Benjamin steps in as guest host of Get Rich while Molly is on maternity leave, and she's bringing you one of our most beginner-friendly episodes yet!

This week, Briony sits down with investing expert and ETF specialist Jessica Leung to break down everything you need to know about getting started with investing no jargon, no finance-speak, just clear and practical advice for women who are ready to take control of their money.

Whether you've been putting off investing because it feels too risky, too complicated, or you think you don't have enough money to start this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What investing actually is and why savings alone won't build long-term wealth
• How inflation silently eats away at your savings
• The power of compound interest (and why it really is the eighth wonder of the world)
• Why you don't need to time the market and what to do instead
• What an ETF is and why it's a great option for beginner investors
• The biggest investing myths holding women back from getting started
• What a beginner portfolio could look like
• How to choose a brokerage platform and what fees to watch out for
• How ethical and sustainable investing works inside an ETF
• The most common beginner mistakes (and how to avoid them)

The biggest takeaway from this episode? Just start. You don't need thousands of dollars or a finance degree you just need to take the first step.

🎧 Perfect for: women who are new to investing, anyone curious about ETFs, and anyone who's been waiting for the "right time" to start building wealth.
