You might be wondering, if this blog is exclusive for women. No, it is not. This note is not about gender, but about language. I have struggled to get my financial life together for ever! I read all those books with big words like “assets”, “liabilities”, “profit”, “gross pay” and what not… It did intimidate me.  Short background about me: I do not have any any any financial education. But here I was ready to rock my bank account. And I did not know how! I was in a thirteen-year long relationship and for some reason finances and financial health never crossed my mind. We lived day by day, never saved and we did not have nothing to fight for by the time we decided to be apart. On top of that, I come from a typical household in which parents do not save and in fact I would hear them fight over money all the time. I did not want that for myself, so I never wanted to hold those conversations with my ex-partner, it was the elephant in the room. But I was asking myself, how can I make it out of this trap? I want to be able to have a better life and be more strategic with my money.  Eventually, I did exit the relationship and I had to start from scratch. For all those single women out there… I feel you! It is not easy to pay it all by yourself. We had a fifty-fifty rule, everyone knows that one flat for one cost you double then the same flat for two. Dahhh! Anyway, after 3 years single, I can say that I have managed to get my financial freedom and I can proudly scream that I have a healthy financial life – for now. I will show you what worked for me and hopefully, some of these ideas work for you!

We are grieving globally and rediscovering our creative identity!   Mental health is a hot topic for companies and employees. The World Health Organisation considers stress an epidemy. Stress is the first cause for mental health problems – the connection is clear. We now have a pandemic on top of it, COVID19 is here. Two for one. How can we get ready for what will happen after? How can we support each other? How can employers support us?  We are obviously in the middle of a crisis and as most crises change will come with a financial impact. I have been speaking with artists, creative minds, kick-ass entrepreneurs to think about future landscapes and how the world we know could – and actually should - change. We feel this is an opportunity to reset and change those dynamics we know are toxic - emotionally and environmentally - hence why I have put together some ideas and trend to discuss this global issue. Some of the take-aways will look more into each of us as individuals and what we can do and our community, some proposals will have to be business and/or government led.
