    Broke: And How to Fix It

    Monday, 23 March 2026 - 50 minutes

    Redundancy. A surprise bill. A relationship ending. Life has a habit of blowing up your budget at the worst possible moment.This week we're tackling the side of budgeting nobody talks about: what happens when your income isn't stable, your circumstances keep changing, and every piece of advice you read assumes your life is predictable. Spoiler: it isn't. And your budget doesn't have to pretend it is.We're joined by Ola Majekodunmi, founder of All Things Money, who built a platform helping people take control of their finances without the overwhelm and knows better than most that money management looks very different depending on where you're starting from.Plus, Vix Leyton, consumer finance expert and host of the Spendology podcast, joins us to cut through the noise on budgeting in the real world, the mistakes people keep making, the habits that actually stick, and why most budgeting advice fails the moment life gets messy.
