I’m Karen, but you can call me Kaz.

I started Women Talking Finance because I wanted to create a business that catered for women just like me, who want to be their best financial selves.

After working in the male-dominated finance sector for over 20 years, I no longer feel restricted by having to do things the traditional way.

My goal is to empower women

I believe it’s important we own our ‘money stories’ as it’s really the key to transforming our lives. So, let me tell you my own tale.

I was raised by a single mum, and throughout my childhood, I experienced much financial stress. This impacted my beliefs around money and my self-worth.

I internalised this shame and worked hard to keep myself as safe and comfortable as possible.

My downfall was overspending. Even when I’d been working in financial advice for 15 years, I had money issues. (Yes, I see the irony!) I was never truly engaged with my finances. Despite all the things I did right, when money came in, I spent it.

It wasn’t until 2014, when I became a single mum myself (of two beautiful boys), that I became curious about ‘behavioural finance’. My research led me to examining my own unhealthy habits and views around money.

I believe that, before we can make any meaningful changes in our lives, we need to do the internal work first. Looking for external solutions isn’t the answer.

So, I hope you’ll join me in becoming your best financial self. Hey, who knows where you could be in a year’s time?

Life moves fast. Future-proof yourself from money regrets by sorting out your finances today.
