About this Event
Money stress doesn’t stay in your bank account—it shows up in your body, your sleep, your relationships, and the way you make decisions. This warm, practical lunchtime masterclass brings together mental health and financial guidance to help you understand what’s really driving money stress and what to do next.
You’ll hear from Althea Fernandes and Asif Kasim as they explore the emotional side of money and share simple tools you can use right away—so you can leave feeling more grounded, clear, and supported.
What we’ll cover
- Why money stress isn’t just about numbers (and why it can feel so heavy)
- Common patterns like avoidance, over-control, shame, and scarcity thinking
- Cash-flow basics and simple considerations to support better decisions
- A fresh lens on wants vs. needs (without guilt)
- Space for connection and community through open networking
