  Dominique Bergel-Grant on Reinvention, Resilience & Purpose

  Sep 17, 20261h 11m

  Sometimes finding your purpose isn't about starting over, it's about paying attention to the work, the people and the experiences that keep pulling you in a particular direction. In Episode 38 of Jenesis Gems: Then. Now. Next. , Jenny catches up with long-time friend Dominique Bergel-Grant , founder of Leapfrog Life and creator of Navigate Your Divorce, for a candid conversation about backing yourself, finding the courage to specialise and building a business around where you can make the greatest difference. Dominique shares how her own experiences, alongside the stories of clients navigating separation and divorce, led her to rethink what financial advice could look like. Today, her work brings together advice, education, coaching, facilitation and compassion to help people move through one of life's biggest transitions with greater clarity and confidence. They also reflect on the early Inspire days, why Dominique believes specialisation is the future of advice, the importance of staying human in an increasingly digital world, and how life in Wānaka has changed the way she thinks about work, balance and success. It's a warm and thoughtful conversation about reinvention, purpose and having the confidence to keep shaping your own path.

  Paul Milbourne on Choosing the Uncommon Path

  Aug 26, 20261h 3m

  We're back with Jenesis Gems, and Jenny is joined by Paul Milbourne, Founder of Milbourne Insurance Solutions and someone who has never been afraid to take the road less travelled. Through the lens of Then. Now. Next., Paul reflects on a career shaped by some bold decisions; from gaining a broad grounding within AMP and moving to Malaysia, to returning to Australia and discovering an unexpected niche supporting Australian expats. We explore why Paul chose to specialise in risk advice, the conviction it takes to build a business around an area of advice that is sometimes misunderstood, and why specialisation should never be seen as limiting your value as an adviser. Paul also shares the influence MDRT has had on his career and personal growth, the story behind his Saturday morning "coffee thoughts", and why authenticity, consistency and genuine connection matter more than ever when building trust. Warm, candid and full of perspective, this is a conversation about backing yourself, challenging conventional definitions of success and recognising that the path you never expected to take may be the one that leads you exactly where you need to be. Tune in and enjoy the conversation. https://www.milbourne.com.au/

  Melody Edwards on Purpose, Advocacy & Holistic Advice

  May 25, 20261h 2mS2

  We're back with Jenesis Gems, and Jenny is joined by Melody Edwards, Senior Financial Adviser at Evalesco Financial Services, NSW State Chair of Inspire, and someone I've had the pleasure of knowing since our early days in the Inspire community, so this conversation felt like a bit of a reunion. It was such a joy to reflect on Melody's journey and see just how far she has come, both in her advice career and as a leader within the profession. Through the lens of Then. Now. Next., Melody shares the story behind her path into financial advice, including the degree she completed before entering the profession (you may be surprised!), and even takes us back to what her very first client appointment was like. We also explore the values and experiences that have shaped her holistic approach to advice, her passion for behavioural finance and aged care, and why supporting more women into advice remains close to her heart. Warm, thoughtful and full of perspective, this is a conversation about building a career with purpose and staying true to what matters most along the way. 🎧 Tune in and enjoy the conversation. https://evalesco.com.au/
