Money Moments: Clarissa Hirst - Negotiating Salaries, Moving Overseas & Women’s Financial Wellness

Today on the podcast Cat and Christine are joined by the lovely Clarissa, Head of Content & Marketing at the Financial Services Council (FSC).

They chat with Clarissa (AKA Riss) about her personal journey with money but also shed light on a very important campaign that the FSC has just kicked off focused on improving the financial wellbeing of women.

This is a topic that Cat and Christine are very passionate about, so they are very excited to dive in.

Specifically, they chat about:

• Clarissa's relationship with money.
• What lessons Clarissa learnt as she was growing up, and what she would tell her younger self about money.
• How a loss of a loved one can impact a person and family financially. 
• What it was like for Clarissa when she moved from Australia to New Zealand and switched careers.
• How Clarissa negotiated her salary throughout positions to get to where she is now.
• How COVID impacted Clarissa's work hours and how she got around that.
• Clarissa's current financial situation and how she is saving/investing her money. 
• What the FSC  is and why their campaign is focusing on women and financial wellness in NZ. 
• And much much more!
