Financial Education for Women Program
The behind closed doors Financial Education for Women (FEW) program aims to assist women make better financial decisions, everyday...to have the life they dream of, now and in the future. Financial Education for Women will guide you towards a more secure financial future and assist you to execute your own personalised financial plan.
Our FEW program is an exclusive opportunity to hear real experiences from experienced facilitators Marissa Schulze (Managing Director, Rise High Financial Solutions) and Karen Eley (CEO, Women Talking Finance), who are willing to share their insights, failures, and tips for success with you.
The group will have open and engaging discussions, and there will be time to identify key takeaways, action plans and accountability options for each participant.
Participants are placed into a group of a maximum 10 women – providing a powerful round table peer group sounding board. We also have a Couples program available.

“I loved the program and found it to be practical, informative, well presented and researched. Karen and Marissa provided an inclusive, warm and supportive environment that sparked a number of honest conversations about the taboo subject of money and how we use it. BCD has given me the tools to invest with self reliance. I cannot recommend the course highly enough.”
“The journey is at times, emotional and exhausting but so worthwhile despite your financial awareness and position. The small intimate group of like minded women provides a safe and supporting environment led by experienced facilitators, who share key tools that will see future attendees continue to utilise and build their financial awareness and more importantly financial security and independence.”
“If I were truthful, I was initially hesitant to register and commit to Financial Education for Women (FEW); I thought the investment was a lot. However, having completed FEW, I can honestly say this course was the best investment I could have ever made – by way of investing in myself and my future.
As I learned things throughout each of the modules, I implemented them. As a result, I refinanced my mortgage, reviewed my spending habits (cutting out frivolous spending), and revisited my super/utilities and health cover. With the savings (estimated $5k over 12 months), I set up a regular deposit into a savings ‘offset’ account.
I have not looked back since doing this course; I only wish I had done it earlier!”
