Hi, I’m Cara - part Kiwi, part Melburnian, Mum of one wee superstar, lover of wine, hustler and change maker!
I have never wanted to be ‘just another mortgage broker.’ It’s not in my DNA. I want to make a difference in people’s lives … well actually to be truthful, I want to make a difference in the world!
“A woman’s best protection is being financially independent”
I grew up in a world where from a young age, I was taught that men looked after the finances. It was their responsibility. So from learned behavior, this was the path I took. I never challenged these outdated and archaic views along the way.
When my long term partner and I separated, I was left feeling very financially vulnerable. And scared.
I had a marketing business that didn’t survive Covid so I had no income.
But I needed to make a financially secure future for my daughter and me, so for the first time in a long time I had to take charge of my finances.
“Courage isn’t about hiding your fears; it’s about acknowledging them and showing up anyway.” – Michell C Clark
I decided to change careers and move from marketing to mortgage broking. It was scary because I knew nothing about this industry.
But I took a deep breath and jumped in anyway …
Why?
Because I realised being brave isn’t about pretending not to be scared; its about admitting your fears and doing what it takes to move forward.
I did the study required to become a mortgage broker in Melbourne, borrowed money from my family and believed in myself enough to start a new business.
And here I am today. Thriving in my new career, helping other women find financial independence and their dream homes, in the process of writing a book, connecting with incredible new people and hoping to inspire other women to embark on their unique journey’s.
My Business:
· Has been engineered to challenge the ‘norm’. The ‘norm’ being the archaic way of thinking about finances which is prohibitive and needs to be reinvented to adapt to the current environment.
· Educates and motivates women to take control of their finances with confidence and bravado.
· Provides a clear process and gameplan to support women through the mortgage process.
“Let's challenge the old, archaic way of thinking together and make that change for the future together.”
