Episode 131: Inspirational Investing 2023 Book Launch

Hello!

It's time I let you know about a recent project I've been involved in.....

...I've helped write a book!! Woo hoo!

And it's all about one of my FAVOURITE SUBJECTS - Investing.

It's written for women, by women and is being released on International Women's Day by publishers Harriman House (who incidentally have also published next month's bookclub book - The Psychology of Money).


Why is this book both timely and essential?

>> A 2022 Bankrate study found women feel more financially stressed as 60% worry about emergency savings compared to 53% of men

>> According to finder.com, less than 30% of women in the UK invest

>> Despite fewer women investing, a 2018 three-year study of Barclays investors showed women outperform men by 1.8%.


Editor Amanda Taylor has brought together leading women from the world of investment and asks:

• What is the impact of rising living costs?

• Where to start with investing your money?

• How can your health affect your money?

• How can you make sure your money is being invested in alignment with your values?

• What psychological biases affect how well you invest?


I'm so excited about this... it's not my own book, but it's a stepping stone to my own book (which I'm aiming to publish in 2024 so watch this space). I'm so humbled to be a part of this and I'm looking forward to reading my own copy soon!

You can order an e-book or physical book here direct from the publisher Harriman House. At the time of release, Bookshop.org* was selling it slightly cheaper, so you might want to pick that one instead (*affiliate link).


In this episode, I talk with fellow author Julie Flynn abut the book, women and investing, and have a general catch up :) We haven't chatted since clubhouse!


Enjoy!

Nikki

Episode 124: Preparing Your Finances For Having Babies

Hello!

In this episode I'm talking with the fabulous Charlotte Jessop of the blog Looking After Your Pennies on how you can prepare your finances for pregnancy, a topic you chose as a community to learn more about. 

Charlotte is the financial educator, coach, writer, vlogger and podcaster behind the Looking After your Pennies platform. To follow Charlotte, check out her blog here: https://lookingafteryourpennies.com/

Prior to training as a GP, I used to work in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It was common to see women plan every aspect of their pregnancies – right down to the vitamins they took and the delivery they wanted.  Women generally attended every scan and every midwife appointment without fail. They prepped their bag for the time of going into labour and meticulously planned every detail. It wasn’t always possible to see them through in exactly the way they had planned, but I did my best alongside an excellent team of doctors and midwives.  

To be honest, despite all the medical intervention and planning, I don’t know if preparing their finances for having babies was always at the forefront of this process.  And with an estimated 50% of pregnancies thought to be unplanned, this is even more worrying.  

Do you need to prepare financially for pregnancy?

Episode 120: What's Your Partner's Money Love Language?

Episode 120: What's Your Partner's Money Love Language?

Hello!

Have you heard of love languages? The book by Gary Chapman goes into a theory that we express love in 5 different ways:

  • Words of affirmation;
  • Quality time;
  • Physical touch;
  • Acts of service;
  • Receiving gifts.

Now if your partner is an "acts of service" kind of person, and you're a "words of affirmation" kind of person, you may get into situations where your partner is doing all these great things for you to help around the house etc, but they don't land as "love" to you because you need to hear the words being said.

It's the same for money!

We all have blocks and blindspots about money, and often this comes from how we were brought up.

When getting into a relationship, you're combining the net sum of both couple's money issues, and when you don't communicate about it, that's where trouble can begin.

I hope this helps.

Episode 112: Ethical Banking And Investing

Hello!

I’ve previously spoken about ethical investing on the Money Medicine Clinic podcast (episode 38). But I want to give you a broad overview of ethical banking, because there’s more to it than just ethical investing. You may have come across the idea of switching your utilities to ‘greener’ products and services; you can also do the same when it comes to choosing a banking provider.

Episode 105: I’m Trying to Get Out of Debt, What Do I Do?

Hello!

Being in debt can make you feel really isolated, but this question is one I’m asked frequently, by people who are worried and don’t know what to do or where to start. Ultimately, the debt isn’t going to go away — it’s something you’re just going to have to deal with. So, for now, here are some things you can do to get started.

It’s also very easy to trick ourselves, and not do the things we say we’re going to do. I’m just as guilty of this with things like exercise, weight loss and debt. So, I highly recommend getting an accountability buddy for those times you feel like things aren’t going so well.

Having an accountability buddy means you’ve got someone you can lean on in desperate times. For example, if you’re really tempted to buy something which could blow your budget and ruin your debt repayment strategy, you’ve got someone there to listen and support you. There are plenty of women in the FMD Facebook group, so come along and join us and tell us if you’re struggling.

You can also join the 2 week Healthy Money Planner Challenge starting 23rd August 2021. This will help you to get clear on your budget, be accountable to your goals and dreams, and get starting on your debt free journey!

Until next time,

Episode 96: The Emotional Ladder and How It Can Help You With Your Money

Hello!

The concepts of The Emotional Ladder and the Choose Again method come from the book Super Attractor, written by New York Times Bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein. In this book, Gabrielle openly refers to the Emotional Guidance Scale by Abraham-Hicks, where you can consciously lift yourself from a low mood to one where you feel a lot more positive.

It’s a great way to help you to feel better when you believe there’s no reason for your funny mood, but you just can’t seem to shake it off. You know, when everything feels oppressive, or is annoying you? When you find that you’re snapping, and you’re having “one of those days”.

What I really liked about the book is how it combines both methods to help elevate your mood so that you’re no longer stuck in a bad energy zone, where you might previously have struggled to feel good about what’s going on around you.

Episode 92: Grow Your Support Network Through Conscious Network Design

Hello!

Being surrounded by people who can support you in all areas of your life is really important to help things flow more easily. It’s a concept I learned from Dr. Joanna Martin, founder of One of Many, called Conscious Network Design.

It’s essential to have a network of people you can rely on for the day-to-day stuff; not simply when you’re faced with a crisis. Having this level of personal, practical support is just as important as being on top of your finances and having an emergency fund to get you out of a sticky spot. Examples might include support for promotions at work, or help looking after your children so that you and your other half can enjoy a much-needed date night together.

Being alone is no fun and makes everything so much harder. That’s why it’s so important to have a strong network of people around you — and it’s best to get this network in place now.

Who in your life right now is there to help you in all the different areas?

P.S. For help with all things money-mindset related, I’ll be opening the doors to my Money Mindset Reset course in just a few weeks’ time.
