End of year guided money reflection
Welcome to the annual end of year guided money reflection! Settle in with a cuppa, a notebook, and an open mind, and get ready to reflect on 2024. By looking back on what the year has held for our finances, we're able to set better goals for 2025 by meeting ourselves where we're at, doing more of what's working and less of what's not. Plus, by zooming out and looking at what this chapter of our money story has included, we can approach 2025 from the position of writing a better chapter than the last, while embracing the lessons learned from the year just gone. If you want more reflections and support extracting your key goals for 2025, grab access to my annual Reflect & Reset two part workshop. Part 1 was delivered live earlier this month but you can still grab the replay, and part 2 will be delivered on-demand to your inbox on January 6th 2025, for you to devour whenever you're ready to kick off the year.

The complex case of convenience: to spend or not to spend? The Comments Section with E&V
In this episode of The Comments Section, we explore the complexities of convenience and how it influences our spending choices. With the rise of modcons (modern conveniences, yes it's a real term!), we ask when paying for ease really adds value and when it’s just a clever marketing trap. We weigh the cost of time saved against the convenience of tech, gadgets, and delivery services, questioning if they truly solve our problems or create new ones. We also share practical ways to create convenience on our own terms, without the hefty price tag. From rethinking the convenience of certain purchases to offering simple, budget-friendly solutions, we share ideas on how to simplify life without sacrificing quality. We want to know—what’s your ultimate modcon? Hit us up on socials and let us know! With thanks to our sponsors, Wallace Advocates and Lending Solved.

Hot parents = richer kid? + When can you say you're good with money? The Comments Section with E&V
Welcome back to The Comments Section! In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be good with money. Is it the numbers in your account, or is it the behaviours and attitudes you cultivate along the way? Inspired by personal stories and fresh insights, we explore how saving alongside debt repayment can rewire your relationship with money and why financial success is about progress, not perfection. From redefining financial goals to embracing the idea that change happens in the doing, this conversation will challenge how you measure worth and success.
