In this deeply personal and transformative episode, I share with you my experience in confronting my fears and doing the work I needed to do, to help myself. I am talking about the Phoenix Program, created by Jamie Ryder, who is a coach, trauma educator and just a lovely caring person.

After completing the program myself, I felt called to share this conversation with you because it helped me connect the dots between emotional healing, inner strength, and how these ripple out into every area of our lives—including finances, relationships, and personal power.

The Phoenix Program is a self-paced, supportive journey that helps you shift from pain to purpose—with real, practical tools and perfect for anyone who wants change and is ready to do the work.

If you are interested, I highly recommend reaching out to Jamie via his website or checking out his TikTok account which has so much FREE information about healing.

Have you ever wondered how compounding actually works? And why it’s so important for building wealth and financial independence? Don't worry, you aren't alone!

In this Start Here episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I answer a listener’s question about understanding compounding before she invests her $5,000 savings and begins adding $400 per month.

I break compounding down into simple, clear actionable steps, showing how returns on returns quietly accelerate over time, and why patience is the secret ingredient to financial freedom. You will seriously be blown away by the opportunity!

In this episode, we explore:

• What compounding interest really is (and why it’s both your best friend and your worst enemy)

• Clear examples of how small amounts grow significantly over 20 years

• Why time is the most powerful factor in investing success

• Peter Thornhill’s extraordinary real-life evidence of compounding at work - listen out for the $20,000,000 portfolio!

• The 7 most common mistakes that stop people from benefiting from compounding

• How to maximise its power with consistency, growth assets, and reinvested dividends

• What Tara’s own $5,000 + $400/month plan could realistically grow into

✨ The key takeaway? Building wealth is not about luck or timing the market, as you may know, it’s about time in the market, staying consistent, and letting compounding quietly do the heavy lifting for you.

If you want to submit your question for the next Start Here episode, send me a DM on Instagram!

Start Here: Why You Might Owe the ATO This Year & How to Avoid It in the Future

If you were expecting a juicy tax refund this year but instead got hit with a bill from the ATO you’re not alone. Thousands of Aussies, particularly younger generations like Gen Z, are finding themselves owing money at tax time. And for some, it’s not just a few hundred dollars, but thousands.

In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I break down exactly why this is happening, how to manage a tax debt if you’ve been caught out, and most importantly, the practical steps you can take to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

We’ll cover:

• The most common reasons you might suddenly owe the ATO, from HECS/HELP debt indexation to multiple jobs, side hustles, or even forgetting to update your tax-free threshold.

• Why talking openly about tax bills is important for building financial literacy and resilience.

• What to do if you have a tax bill from calling the ATO and arranging a payment plan, to finding missed deductions.

• How to stop this from happening again including setting up a separate tax account, opting into PAYG instalments, and knowing what income is taxable.

• Why being proactive with tax planning is one of the easiest ways to protect your financial future.

✨ The big takeaway? You haven’t failed, you’re not alone, and there’s always a way forward. A tax bill can actually be a turning point, helping you understand your cashflow, improve your systems, and build confidence in managing money.
