Money Sparks are short, focused money notes from me to you. They are written for busy working women who do not have the time or headspace for long newsletters.

Each Money Spark will give you one clear idea, a little perspective, and a few small actions you can take straight away. Think of them as mini lessons for your money life, designed to be read in a few minutes and applied in real life.

My motivation is simple. I work with women who carry a lot. Careers, businesses, families, parents, households, invisible labour. Money runs through all of that. I want to give you practical support that fits into your day, helps you feel more in charge, and honours the reality of your life.

Today's Money Spark - Free Webinar

On Saturday the 22 November at 9:30am I am hosting a free live online session: Working Moms and the Financial Drains of Christmas

December can turn into a very expensive month for working moms. There are gifts, food, holidays, school events, social plans, family expectations, and the urge to make up for a hard year by spending. It is easy to start January feeling overextended, both financially and emotionally.

In this webinar I will talk about how to bring more calm, clarity, and intention into the festive season, without turning into the Christmas Grinch.

We will cover:

• The most common money leaks for working moms in December, and how to spot them early

• How to set a realistic festive season budget that fits your life

• Ways to talk to partners, children, and extended family about limits and expectations, without feeling mean or ashamed

• How to balance generosity with self respect, so that you can give without putting yourself under pressure

• Practical ideas for gifts, food, and holidays that feel special but do not blow the budget

• Simple habits to protect your energy and time, so that you do not spend your whole break managing everyone else’s experience

• What you can start doing now to arrive in January feeling steady rather than panicked
