Anu’s first ever guest has arrived and what a woman to begin with!

This week, she sits down with Lise Thorne, a midlife money mentor helping women rebuild confidence, reclaim their power and finally feel in control of their finances and their future.

Honest, warm, funny and deeply relatable - this conversation is everything Banter is meant to be.

💬 Midlife, Money & A Total Reset

Lise opens up about navigating midlife change, stepping into independence and the very real emotions that come with starting again.

She and Anu dive into:

• why women lose confidence around money

• rebuilding financial independence after big life shifts

• boundaries, friendships & midlife identity

• choosing yourself (even when it feels scary)

• why it’s never too late to take control of your life

🌱 Reinvention, Purpose & What Comes Next

Lise shares what life looks like for her now - a growing platform, meaningful work, a new sense of direction and the tiny steps that helped her get there.

A grounded, empowering chat about resilience and trusting your instincts.
