Early Bird Ticket before 1.8.25

Early Bird Ticket before 1.8.25 ⋆

Are you a self-employed mother, just about keeping on top of the family finances?

Do you find it hard to find the money for the holidays, and worry about the long periods where it will be harder to work?

Do you have regular concerns about money and how you'll make ends meet?

Do you worry about the longer-term financial picture for your family - like how to manage your taxes, pensions and savings?

What is MAMA Money Matters?

This day-long workshop - designed especially for you - helps you get some perspective on your financial situation (without judgement or shame) and takes you through some brilliantly practical and simple ways to create greater financial literacy and confidence.

We hope that all the mothers who come to our workshop will leave with:

  • Greater curiosity into your story of, and relationship to, money - especially as a freelancer

  • Greater awareness about what you would like your financial picture to be - and the tools to help you get there

  • Greater confidence in saving, financial management, having those tricky conversations with others (at work and home!) - about how you are providing for your family in the short- and long-term

  • A more rounded picture as to your value - as a freelancer, a mother and a contributor to the economy and communities around you

  • Some solid information, inspiration, and recommendations for further financial advice and planning

Where? Easton Community Centre, Kilburn Street, BS5

When?

Friday 19th Sept 10-2.30pm or Saturday 20th Sept 1-5.30

Who are we?

The programme is hosted by Alice Ballantine Dykes (MAMA Coaching Founding Director) and Rhyannan Hall (qualified Accountant and small business champion) - both women who have developed their own small businesses and developed their own systems to make their financial lives make sense.

We know what it means to...

  • Question what you charge and be unsure of your value

  • Always be right at the ends of your means - with little wriggle room or room for error

  • Feel emotional about money, and not know how to discuss it with others

Rhyannan takes a very human approach to all things financial and recognises the deeply emotional and cultural influences on how we manage our money. Alice has been working with mothers for nearly 10 years, helping grow small businesses and enabling mothers to make informed and positive choices about their working lives.

What to expect…

Using a group coaching approach, and building a safe context in which to discuss often taboo and unspoken-about thoughts and feelings, Alice and Rhyannan will guide you through the following questions:

  • Why is it so hard to talk about money?

  • What is your relationship to money and how does it impact your financial life now?

  • What do you want, and need, to earn - and how will you earn it?

  • What would life be like if you had some healthy financial habits?

  • What are the habits you need to adopt - and what will help you cultivate and nurture them?

  • What kind of motivation or accountability will you need to see you through to your financial goals?
