How women can take control of their financial destiny.
This is the fifth episode of the Powerful Women series of On Change, where we celebrate trail-blazing and visionary women who have chose to lead on their own terms.
In this episode, Petro du Pisani speaks with Ann Wilson, best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist, also known as The Wealth Chef.
Ann’s journey to financial freedom began unexpectedly. Trained as a civil engineer, she managed billion-dollar projects around the world. Yet despite her professional success, she found herself struggling with debt and financial confusion. That realisation sparked a powerful personal transformation, from earning income to learning how to create wealth.
In this conversation, Ann unpacks the critical difference between being rich and being wealthy, and explains why true financial freedom comes from building assets that generate income without constant effort. She shares practical insights about investing, the power of paying yourself first, and why understanding your “enough number” is key to designing a financially free life.
Ann also speaks candidly about why women have historically been excluded from wealth creation and why its essential that women take ownership of their financial futures.
