I enjoyed a fantastic day at the Westcountry Women's Awards Empowerment training day last week.

It was fantastic to listen to Alexis Bowater and Clare Palmer as they challenged us all to recognise our strengths and visualise a better future self.

🤔 What are you excited about for your future?

I'm excited to be starting the Paycheck to Portfolio investment course today from the Ladies Investing Club.

I love their vision about empowering women to gain independence and freedom through growing wealth and through learning about how to invest.

How do you ensure your financial freedom?
