Women in Australia retire with an average 23% less retirement savings than men. That’s a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be quite complex, however many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a financial services industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why we created Verve a community for women, men & non-binary folk who believe in our mission of closing the super gap.

    Kay Browne
    Feb 5 2026
    She was known for her beautiful voice, her ability to enchant an audience. She was an icon in her little town - the woman her rode her bicycle everywhere. She wasn't allowed to drive. It's easy to stop a woman leaving with her little children if you take away her independence. But she tried to leave - so many times. Then one day her daughter came home. The police were in the front yard. Her young brother was inside. Her dad was in handcuffs. Her mum was dead. Her name is Kay Browne. She was only 51. Today, that little girl Emily speaks publicly for the first time about the mum she adored and the dad she loved - and how she navigates the complexity of being both the daughter of the victim and the daughter of a killer. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children. This is Kay's story.This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms.

    Vicki Cleary
    Jan 29 2026

    She went to work like she always did. It was her dream job, working with children. She'd left her abusive partner and was rebuilding her life, piece by piece. He was waiting. After he killed her, he claimed she provoked him. A court let him get away with murder. Her name is Vicki Cleary. She was only 25. Elizabeth was only a child when her sister died. It's taken decades to find her voice, to step into the light to fight for change. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children. This is Vicki's story - and it's also Liz's story.
