From Financial Abuse to First Home: How Ashley Jones Rebuilt Her Life

Where's My Money?

About
Last time Ashley Jones joined us, she shared one of the toughest stories we've ever heard. She opened up about surviving domestic and financial abuse, fighting a legal system that kept her trapped, and turning that experience into the campaign that became Ashley's Law. Now she's back, and this conversation couldn't feel more different.





Ashley joins Reagan to share an incredible full-circle moment after buying her very first home on her own. We talk about the emotions that came with homeownership, the grief of doing it alone, the financial lessons that made it possible, and why KiwiSaver played such a crucial role in getting her there.





Ashley also reflects on the real-world impact Ashley's Law is already having for survivors across New Zealand, and shares a message of hope for anyone who feels like they're stuck. It's an honest, emotional and inspiring conversation about resilience, rebuilding and creating the future you deserve.
