What if money felt less overwhelming and more like freedom?

What if being wealthy was simply about having choices - to live where you want, work how you want, and support what matters most?

In Dare to Be Wealthy, Mel Browne invites you into a new story about women and money. One where you stop waiting for 'someday', where you release the guilt around wanting more, and realise you can create a future you're excited about.

Through powerful stories, smart strategies, and a deep understanding of women's financial realities, Mel shows you how to:

• Break free from myths and mindsets keeping you small

• Rebuild your financial confidence from the inside out

• Create a new plan for debt, investing, and habits that actually work for you

Whether you're starting over, chasing bigger dreams, or simply ready to feel in control, this book will show you that you're not too late, too young, too old, or too far behind.

Because when women hold wealth, the world changes. And it starts with you.

'Mel's brilliant book helps us to take back our money power - this book will help you see yourself as the empowered, autonomous, fabulous woman you are and will open up your financial future as the world of possibilities you truly deserve.' Mel Schilling, relationship expert MAFS

'Inspiring, practical, and deeply empowering, this is the guide every woman needs on her path to financial freedom.' Sally Obermeder, CEO + SWIISH Co-founder

'Forget financial crumbs - Mel's book gives women the knowledge to rewrite the money game completely. Wealth isn't a dream, it's the plan.'

Shelly Horton, author and TV journalist
