Financial stress often starts small—not with a bang, but a whisper. It’s the feeling of avoiding a bank statement, or that knot in your stomach before payday. A simple "financial first aid" step? Acknowledge the feeling, then just list your next three essential expenses. No more, no less. It’s a small, practical action to regain a sense of control. This approach of blending practical literacy with self-awareness is at the heart of what we do at Empower2Free. We believe that building confidence isn't just about spreadsheets; it's about developing a calm and capable relationship with money. With the increased financial pressures many of us are facing, we're running an empowering 2-hour workshop with the City of Canning for Perth, WA residents. We'll explore the 'MONEY' framework to help you identify stress triggers and apply simple strategies to manage them before they become overwhelming. If you're in the area and ready to feel more confident and in control of your finances, we'd love to see you.
