#272 Financial Empowerment for Women with Lou Syphers

Diane McKendrick introduces The Rich Lady Revolution podcast as a space for ambitious women to redefine wealth beyond money and to embody what they’ve learned so profit can meet peace. She interviews Melbourne-based mortgage broker Lou Syphers of Abundance and Beyond, who supports and educates women through lending and financial steps after divorce, separation, and domestic violence, offering a safe, nurturing community and referrals to other professionals when needed. Lou shares her personal inspiration from leaving a DV home with her mother at age 12 - 13 and discusses how women often leave and return multiple times before fully exiting. They emphasise reducing shame, taking practical steps (bank access, separate email, understanding assets), and reaching out early.If something in this conversation resonates with you, take it as your invitation to start the conversation. You don't need to have all the answers - you just need to take the first step.🌐 Abundance & Beyond:www.abundanceandbeyond.com.au📸 Lou on Instagram:@louise_syphers📞 Call Lou: 0408 844 881Connect and Follow Diane:Instagram: ⁠@dianemckendrick Facebook: ⁠www.facebook.com/diane.mckendrick⁠LinkedIn: ⁠www.linkedin.com/in/dianemckendrick/⁠We're Those2Sisters, and we run retreats for ambitious business women.
