She Owns It with Anissa Cavallo

In this episode, Anissa sits down with the powerhouse woman, advocate, and founder of Australian Femicide Watch, Sherele Moody. Sherele shares the personal story that ignited her advocacy work, the pushback from newsroom editors that led to the Red Heart Campaign, and the reality of tracking domestic femicide in Australia. Together, we explore the overlap between financial dependence, coercive control, and domestic violence. We discuss why leaving is often the most life-threatening period for a survivor, how systemic housing shortages leave women trapped, and how grassroots action, like Sherele’s project Stacey’s Sanctuary, is stepping in where system policy falls short.

True financial independence for women requires moving from passive saving to active wealth building. In this episode of She Owns It, host Anissa Cavallo breaks down the three biggest hurdles holding women back from achieving long-term financial security: managing investment risk, mastering financial literacy and terminology, and choosing long-term wealth over short-term lifestyle inflation. Whether you want to learn how leverage accelerates property investment or how to calculate your retirement yield, this episode provides actionable strategies to protect yourself from financial vulnerability and build real passive income. Key Takeaways & Financial Terminology Defined Yield: The income an investment generates (e.g., rental income or stock dividends) that creates passive income for your daily life. Capital Growth: The increase in the underlying value of an asset over time, which rapidly accelerates your overall net worth. Leverage: Using borrowed capital to multiply your buying power so your returns grow on a larger asset base. Calculating Retirement Income: Using a standard 5% average yield to work backward from your ideal annual passive income target to determine your required net worth.
