See the Full ProgramJust before I turned 50, I met the woman who changed everything. Within a year, I'd moved overseas, married her, and became a dad to her 6-year-old daughter. Six months later, we had our own baby girl.
Life felt hopeful. We were building something beautiful together.
Then everything shifted. I returned to Australia ahead of my family. Three months after they arrived, my father passed away. The grief was crushing. Three months later, a financial crisis hit and the inheritance I'd thought might help? It never came through.
I remember standing in the supermarket aisle, staring at nappies, trying to work out what I could afford and what could wait. The weight wasn't just financial. It was emotional. It was isolating. And I was carrying it alone.
But here's what saved me: my baby daughter looking up at me. She didn't know about the crisis. She just knew I was her dad. That became my reason to keep going.
Years later, one thought wouldn't leave me alone: If I felt so ashamed I didn't know who to ask, how many other Australians feel exactly the same way?
So I looked at the statistics. 5.8 million Australians are struggling with debt. 47% are too ashamed to seek help. That's when I knew: this had to change.
I didn't create Life Beyond Debts because I have all the answers. I created it because I've walked the path. I know the shame, the isolation, the fear. And I know what it takes to come out the other side.
Here's what matters most to me: I don't care if you ask me for help or someone else. I just care that you ask someone. Because staying silent keeps you stuck. And you deserve better.
Today, alongside co-authoring "The Turning Point" with Pat Mesiti, I help Australians break free from debt through the LIFTS Method — practical, shame-free education that addresses both the financial and emotional weight of money struggles.
If my story can help even one person ask for help sooner than I did, then every sleepless night was worth it.
