Many of us were never really taught about money, how to manage it, understand it, how to make it work for us. Which makes it tough to feel confident about it.

It is easy to simple drift when it comes to money or bury our heads in the sand altogether. Perhaps leaving financial decisions to a partner. Not really knowing what we spend. Putting off thinking about retirement because it feels too far away or too complicated. Never quite understanding our super. Being too embarrassed to ask questions we feel we should already know the answers to.

This can leave us more vulnerable than we realise. Divorce. The super gap. A partner's sudden illness or death. A bad investment. These are just some of the reasons why women over 55 are the fastest growing demographic experiencing homelessness in Australia. And did you know 1.6 million Australian women have experienced financial abuse by a partner? It doesn't always look the way you'd expect. Sometimes it's very subtle and hard to name, sometimes it just feels like an unequal relationship where you don't quite have a seat at the table when it comes to money.

So many of the things that derail women financially arrive subtly or without warning, and so many of us are less prepared than we think.

Many of us were never really taught about money, how to manage it, how to understand it, how to make it work for us. Which makes it tough to feel confident about it.

But being good with money isn't just about numbers. Financial confidence is about understanding your own money stories and blocks, knowing the right questions to ask, and having the right help and support.

Are you on track to retire comfortably? Do you know what you actually have and what you owe? Is your super working as hard as it should be? If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would you know what to do?

Join us for an honest, practical and genuinely empowering evening with three of the best financial minds we know. Three different perspectives. One conversation every woman needs to have.

Because we can't afford to keep our heads in the sand and after this evening, you won't want to.

This evening is for you if:

You've been leaving the finances to your partner and know, deep down, it's time to change that
You're wondering whether you'll have enough to retire on and what "enough" even looks like
You're watching your children struggle to get onto the property ladder and wondering how much you can, or should, help without putting your own retirement at risk
You've had a career break to raise your kids, and your super has paid the price
You have no real idea what you spend or where it all goes
You've been through a major life change - separation, loss, a health scare - and it's had a massive impact on your financial stability
You want to feel more confident, more in control, and less anxious every time finances come up
You understand money in theory but haven't quite got your own house in order

You'll leave with:

A clearer picture of where you actually stand and what to do about it
The questions you should be asking (and who to ask them to)
Practical steps to close the gaps - in your super, your knowledge, your planning
The confidence to stop avoiding and start acting
A sense that you are not alone in this and that it's never too late to get on top of it
A deeper understanding of how your own money stories and beliefs may be holding you back — and how to change them
