The Bank of Mom and Dad rarely asks for an application… but it can come at a cost.

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Financial Planning Specialist Tom Brukman to explore the financial and emotional realities of supporting adult children.

When does support become dependency? And how do you balance helping your children with protecting your own financial future?

Because sometimes the most caring thing you can do isn't give more - it's helping your children stand on their own.

The Bank of Mom and Dad never asks for an application form… but it can come at a cost.

At what point does support become something more difficult to sustain?

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Financial Planning Specialist Tom Brukman for an honest conversation about the financial and emotional realities of supporting adult children.

From covering everyday expenses...
To recognising when support becomes dependency...
To balancing family needs with your own financial future...

They explore the emotional drivers behind these decisions and the often-overlooked impact on long-term financial security.

Because it’s not just about money.
It’s about love, boundaries, and independence.

Sometimes the most caring thing you can do isn’t giving more. It’s helping your children stand on their own.

What if the next chapter of your life begins when you stop asking whether you can and start asking why not?

At 56, Cheryl Jones found herself facing a question many people encounter in midlife: What now?

With her children grown and life looking very different from the years before, she made the decision to return to studying, challenge her self-doubt, and reinvent her career.

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Cheryl shares her journey through imposter syndrome, lifelong learning, and learning to recognise the value of the experience she had built over decades.

At some point, success stops being about accumulation and starts being about meaning.

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by entrepreneur, mother, and serial reinventor Miranda Isaakidis for a powerful conversation about curiosity, change, and creating a meaningful life through every stage.

From surviving financial setbacks like the 1987 crash…
To building a business rooted in purpose and empowerment…
To rethinking retirement not as an ending, but as the freedom to live more intentionally…

This conversation explores what happens when the traditional markers of success begin to shift, and how fresh thinking, courage, and purpose can open the door to entirely new chapters.

It is a powerful reflection on reinvention, partnership, and the idea that life’s later chapters can be some of the most meaningful yet.
