How to Overcome Financial Overwhelm at Source
The cost of living crisis is gaining pace and hurting everyone. Financial stress and mental health are closely intertwined, exacerbated by people finding discussions around money uncomfortable. You can’t manage your way out of financial anxiety and stress with spreadsheets and planning, but you can learn how to take control of the emotion around it. Whether you’re a bill shredder or a money hoarder, this session will help you to identify the coping strategies you use towards money (and life), how this may be working against you, and how to do things differently. If you avoid looking at your bank balance or you turn the telly off when Martin Lewis starts discussing savings, this is the webinar for you.

She also runs a free, specialist support group for people struggling with anxiety called Fearless Female. You may have spotted her on Cheshire Housewives or in the media, working hard to walk the talk of being ‘fearless’ and pushing her comfort zone. She mainly uses CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) as a model because once you understand it, it’s very effective. CBT also helped her to overcome crippling anxiety over 30 years ago.
