Hi
In this mini series of 2 Epsiodes I take a look at Money, the root of all evil some say, and defintely the root of worry, anxiety but also if we get it right enjoyment, happiness and fun.
In this first Episode I will try and help you look at your current finances and tips to improve, then we will move the next Episode to help long term saving and investing.
Hope you enjoy and find some things interesting, and at the very least start conversations with friends, colleagues and family about this taboo word of MONEY.

F for Failure.
Not a word to be used lightly. We all are unsuccesful at some things at some point - does that make it or us a failure.
I hope by rethinking and reframing this word and owning our less successful things in life we can learn, grow and move onto bigger and better.
Also owning a failure means we can share and feel just a bit better about ourselves.
