Hello! It's time I let you know about a recent project I've been involved in..... ...I've helped write a book!! Woo hoo! And it's all about one of my FAVOURITE SUBJECTS - Investing. It's written for women, by women and is being released on International Women's Day by publishers Harriman House (who incidentally have also published next month's bookclub book - The Psychology of Money). Why is this book both timely and essential? >> A 2022 Bankrate study found women feel more financially stressed as 60% worry about emergency savings compared to 53% of men >> According to finder.com, less than 30% of women in the UK invest >> Despite fewer women investing, a 2018 three-year study of Barclays investors showed women outperform men by 1.8%. Editor Amanda Taylor has brought together leading women from the world of investment and asks: • What is the impact of rising living costs? • Where to start with investing your money? • How can your health affect your money? • How can you make sure your money is being invested in alignment with your values? • What psychological biases affect how well you invest? I'm so excited about this... it's not my own book, but it's a stepping stone to my own book (which I'm aiming to publish in 2024 so watch this space). I'm so humbled to be a part of this and I'm looking forward to reading my own copy soon! You can order an e-book or physical book here direct from the publisher Harriman House. At the time of release, Bookshop.org* was selling it slightly cheaper, so you might want to pick that one instead (*affiliate link). In this episode, I talk with fellow author Julie Flynn abut the book, women and investing, and have a general catch up :) We haven't chatted since clubhouse! Enjoy! Nikki

Hello! In this episode I'm talking with the fabulous Charlotte Jessop of the blog Looking After Your Pennies on how you can prepare your finances for pregnancy, a topic you chose as a community to learn more about.  Charlotte is the financial educator, coach, writer, vlogger and podcaster behind the Looking After your Pennies platform. To follow Charlotte, check out her blog here: https://lookingafteryourpennies.com/ Prior to training as a GP, I used to work in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It was common to see women plan every aspect of their pregnancies – right down to the vitamins they took and the delivery they wanted.  Women generally attended every scan and every midwife appointment without fail. They prepped their bag for the time of going into labour and meticulously planned every detail. It wasn’t always possible to see them through in exactly the way they had planned, but I did my best alongside an excellent team of doctors and midwives.   To be honest, despite all the medical intervention and planning, I don’t know if preparing their finances for having babies was always at the forefront of this process.  And with an estimated 50% of pregnancies thought to be unplanned, this is even more worrying.   Do you need to prepare financially for pregnancy?   For additional shownotes, go here: https://thefemalemoneydoctor.com/pregnancy-planning/  Until next time, Nikki x
