EPISODE 16: MEET LUCY KOUGH, CREATOR OF SUPERANNUATION PLATFORM 'TAP THE GAP'

Women retire with around 28% less super on average - and that gap doesn’t close on its own. In this episode of the P.O.W.E.R. Podcast, Melissa Ashcroft sits down with Lucy Kough, the creator and founder of start up Tap the Gap, a platform designed to help women build wealth for retirement through incremental behaviour: small, consistent contributions that add up over time.With International Women’s Day this Sunday, 8 March, the conversation is especially timely. This year’s IWD campaign theme, "Give To Gain,” fits the Tap the Gap mission perfectly - giving yourself a simple system that helps you take control and gain long-term financial independence.Lucy runs through how Tap the Gap works in real life:* how you can link a card/account once and keep spending as normal* how “round-ups” and micro-contributions can flow into super without feeling overwhelming* how the platform uses open banking (and what that means for security and consent)* why confidence and financial literacy often come from small wins, not big leaps* what it looks like to start taking ownership of your wealth, even if you’re time-poor, part-time, on leave, or just trying to get back on trackThis isn’t about perfection or drastic changes. It’s about making super feel visible, manageable, and part of everyday life by giving women more power through knowledge, simple systems, and consistent action.If you'd like to learn more about Tap the Gap, make sure you attend their upcoming event on 19 March, link to get your tickets below.Make sure you're subscribed here for more conversations across property, business, wealth, leadership, and the real-world habits that shape outcomes.
