May's Conversation - Strategy not Stress: Financial Planning for the Creative Mind
The creative life rarely happens in a straight line. For those navigating "feast or famine" cycles, multiple income streams, and the unique pressures of a portfolio career, traditional financial advice often feels out of reach or out of touch.
In this session we will work through exercises to give you a new perspective on your finances and help you take the first steps towards reaching your financial goals. We’ll explore why we make the financial choices we do, and look at some simple ways to reduce financial anxiety.
This is a judgement-free space - wherever you’re starting from you’ll find support here.
