From teenage bankruptcy lessons to becoming Australia’s youngest Telstra Business Woman of the Year.

In this inspiring Summer Series episode, we sit down with Kirsty “KD”: a proud Tasmanian investor, entrepreneur, and mum who’s built a multimillion-dollar property portfolio the boring way… and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kirsty opens up about the moment her parents lost everything, how it shaped her conservative money mindset, and why “safe and sustainable” has been her lifelong investing philosophy.

This is a story about playing the long game, finding happiness in simplicity, and proving that “boring” can be brilliant.

🎙️ Tune in to hear how Kirsty landed the plane, and built the life she designed, one smart decision at a time.
