The importance of a valid Will can not be underestimated!!

Lawyers urge Australians to ensure they leave behind a valid will to avoid legal disputes as surging house prices and superannuation balances increase the size of inheritances.

✨ What a wonderful morning at the Monash Women’s Business Network event!

Ramona Roach from Ethika Group's presentation was so engaging, fascinating and thought-provoking — I left with fresh ideas and lots of inspiration.

I also feel very fortunate to have won the chance to deliver my elevator pitch to the room (what an amazing opportunity!) and to be invited to record a short testimonial. 🎥

👉 Watch this space — I’ll be sharing it soon!

A big thank you to everyone who makes these events so valuable and supportive. 💜
