Make Peace with Money news

I’m very excited to tell you that this week Friday (17th October from 10am to 11am) I’m going to be doing the first in a series of workshops which Paul and I have developed and which is called, “The Way of the Money Warrior – Your Journey to Making Peace with Money” with Wenta, who are a not-for-profit, social enterprise who help people to start and run successful businesses.

This is the first of four sessions which will help you will learn the importance of having a good relationship with money. This is how you think, feel, talk, and act around money. The aim of the sessions is to get you to look at money in a different way, to learn and implement practical money skills, and to start dealing with the mental and emotional side of money.

SESSION 1: The Way of The Money Warrior – Your Journey to Making Peace With Money

Improving your relationship with money takes dedication and commitment. This session introduces you to the concept of Money Mindfulness, where you feel confident and in control of your finances. It will show you who you need to be, and the skills you will require in order to achieve this.

If you would like to come along to this workshop you can click on this link and it will take you to the Wenta eventbrite booking page.

SESSION 2: Mastering Your Finances – Practical Money Skills and Habits.

Having good practical money skills and habits is the foundation to Making Peace With Money. This session will help you to start taking responsibility for your finances, and it will show you the practical tools and practices you should be implementing, both in your personal life and in your business. After this session you will be able to start managing your costs, work on setting a budget, start saving for the future.

I am doing this workshop with Wenta on 14th November from 10am-11am and if you would like to book for this you can click on this link.

SESSION 3: Exploring Money Beliefs – How they can affect your daily life.

This session will introduce you to money beliefs, money blocks, and money habits, and the impact these can be having on your personal life, and on the success of your business. Something as simple as believing that ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, or having an Earnings Ceiling can be preventing you from reaching your potential. Having more positive beliefs and good money habits will revolutionise the way you look at money.

I am doing this workshop with Wenta on 12th December from 10am to 11am and if you would like to book for this you can click on this link

SESSION 4: Stepping into Money Mindfulness – Dealing with change in a positive way.

Are you ready to change? What does it take to change your money beliefs and money habits? This session will help you to answer these questions by taking you through the change equation and helping you to understand and work with your emotions. You will also learn the power of reflecting on your progress and realising that your choices are neither good nor bad, that you can always make new choices and keep working towards your goals instead of getting stuck.

I will be doing this talk with Wenta early in 2026 so watch this space for more news.

I will also be putting these workshops on the teachable academy in the coming months so watch this space for more news on that.

To your success:-)

New Event – Money Chat Skills Special Thursday 15th May 2025

“There isn’t a part of our lives that money doesn’t touch – it affects our relationships, the way we go about our every day activities, our ability to make dreams reality, everything.”

Money skills, both the practical one’s and also the mental/emotional skills are fundamental when growing both personally, or professionally. They not only provide a foundation for us so we can feel more confident and secure, but they also help us create financial space for us as we grow.

Nominated for a Award – Please Vote for Me!

I am super excited to have been nominated for an Enterprise Nation business advisor award, in the accounting and finance category.

I have to admit, I’m always a bit shy when it comes to things like awards, but I feel that if I was lucky enough to win, it would really help me in my continued efforts to help business owners and individuals to improve their relationship with money.

My future plans include working with more councils in the northeast of England, and across the UK, to help people to learn and develop positive money skills and habits. I also plan to expand my Money Chats to reduce the taboo around money, and help people to feel more confident talking about money. As a lot of this will require council and government grants, winning an award like this would be massively beneficial in assisting in this process.

I would be hugely grateful if you could vote for me, and share with your networks. It only takes a couple of minutes to vote, but in the long run it could aid a lot of people.

Vote for me!

Thank you.
