MEDIA, PR & SPEAKING
Hi, I’m Kylie.
I’ve lived both sides of money.
I grew up in housing commission in Western Sydney with money always tight, and by my twenties I was buried in debt and avoiding my bank balance — before spending 25 years inside the finance industry. That’s the perspective I bring to panels, podcasts and press: the industry version, and the real kitchen-table one.

MY STORY
From Western Sydney to inside the banks — and back to the kitchen table.
I spent the next 25-plus years inside the finance industry itself. Big banks, a Diploma of Financial Planning, the works. And I kept seeing the same thing: smart, capable women walking in feeling stupid about money, because somewhere along the way someone made them feel that way for not already knowing this stuff.
So my husband Anthony and I built Creo Wealth, our financial planning practice in Penrith, and I became the driving force behind its growth. But I also started noticing a gap underneath that. Not everyone needs a financial adviser. Some people just need someone to explain it properly, without the jargon and without the shame. That gap is why I started The Money Brew.
I also talk a lot about money in relationships, because Anthony and I have been married 28 years with two completely different money personalities, and we’re still here. Not because we “communicated more.” Because we actually did the work.

Inside the system

SHORT BIO · UNDER 100 WORDS
Kylie Sultana spent 25 years inside the banking and financial planning world, Diploma of Financial Planning included, before walking away from an industry that kept talking down to women about their own money. Raised by her aunt in housing commission in Claymore and Villawood, deep in Western Sydney, she ended up buried in debt as an adult and worked her way out of it long before she taught anyone else how. Now she runs The Money Brew, where money education sounds like a chat with a mate who happens to know her stuff, and co-founded financial planning practice Creo Wealth in Penrith, where she’s the driving force behind its success.
LONG BIO · 250–300 WORDS
Kylie Sultana didn’t grow up with money. Raised by her aunt in housing commission in Claymore and Villawood, deep in Western Sydney, she watched every dollar get stretched and carried that tension straight into adulthood with her. By her twenties she was buried in debt, embarrassed, and avoiding her bank balance the way most of us avoid an awkward text. So she did the thing she now teaches other women to do: she faced it.
She spent the next 25-plus years inside the finance industry itself, working through the big banks and earning her Diploma of Financial Planning, before co-founding financial planning practice Creo Wealth in Penrith with her husband Anthony, and becoming the driving force behind its growth. Together they’ve helped hundreds of Australians build wealth and plan for the future. But along the way, Kylie kept noticing the same gap: most people weren’t ready for full financial advice. They just wanted somewhere safe to start, without being made to feel stupid for not already knowing this stuff.
That gap became The Money Brew, financial education for everyday Australian women, built on the belief that you don’t need six figures or a finance degree to take charge of your money — you just need someone to explain it properly for once.
Kylie also brings a personal case study to the table: 28 years married to Anthony with two genuinely different money personalities, and still standing. She talks openly about what that’s actually taken — not the “communicate more” line every article gives you, but the real, occasionally tense work of building a life together when you don’t think about money the same way.
Kylie hosts What’s Brewing with Kylie, a podcast about money, mindset and real life, and has been featured presenting alongside Australian designer Katie Perry for P&O Cruises’ Fashion in the Field. She lives in Western Sydney with her husband Anthony and their cats Coco and Chanel, who converted her from “not a cat person” to devoted cat mum.
Kylie speaks on money shame, financial confidence for women, money conversations and mismatched money personalities in long-term relationships, and why the finance industry keeps getting it wrong — with the credentials to back it up and none of the jargon to get in the way.
Let’s talk.
