Independent Money Dilemmas series brings expert insight to life’s hardest financial decisions

Hosted by Vanessa Stoykov, the free-to-access series brings leading experts together to help Australians navigate life’s biggest money dilemmas, from divorce, inheritance and family wealth disputes to property investment, retirement planning, helping adult children financially, relationships, debt and the rising cost of living.

The series empowers people to ask better questions, understand their options and make more informed financial decisions.

SYDNEY, Australia – When money decisions affect a relationship, a home, or a family’s future, knowing what to do next can feel overwhelming. A new series hosted by financial storyteller and media entrepreneur Vanessa Stoykov is helping Australians better understand their options by connecting real-life financial dilemmas with leading experts.

Money Dilemmas - What Would You Do? is an independently produced video and podcast series from evolution media group. Each episode presents a real-life, reader-style dilemma and explores it with a specialist who has relevant experience and practical insight. Full episodes are available free on the Vanessa Stoykov Money Dilemmas YouTube channel and major podcast platforms.

The first episodes examine the financial realities of divorce with family law barrister Tahlia Ferrari, major property decisions with property expert Peter Matthews, and the growing pressures of the “Bank of Mum and Dad” with financial adviser Harry Moustakas.

For nearly three decades, Stoykov has built an independent business dedicated to financial storytelling and media. Through her work, including her long-running Sunday Money column in the Daily Mail, she has seen first-hand how often people face significant financial decisions without feeling confident about what questions to ask or which voices to trust.

“For 28 years I’ve built an independent business around helping people understand money and the decisions that shape their lives,” said Stoykov.

“That independence matters now, when so many people are under pressure and trying to work out who to trust. I want to bring genuine experts into a clear conversation, help people understand their options and give them something useful to think about before they decide. The full episodes are free, because people should be able to access these conversations without having to pay to hear them.”

The series is independently produced by evolution media group and supported through sponsorship and an education-based model. Daily Mail Australia is a distribution partner, sharing edited episodes and social content across its channels, building on Stoykov’s established Sunday Money platform. Full-length episodes are available free via Money Dilemmas channels, YouTube and major podcast platforms.
