The concept of “finding your voice” is often spoken about, yet rarely explained in a way that feels achievable. It is commonly associated with confidence, assertiveness or speaking up in big moments. However, for many of us, finding your voice is not about learning how to speak louder, it is about learning how to be more honest with yourself. In everyday life, and especially in the working world, many of us learn early on that it is easier to stay quiet. We learn to adapt, to

Small Choices can Change Your Month Budgeting has a reputation for being boring, restrictive, or something only “money people” do. But the truth is simpler. A budget is just a plan for your month. It tells your money where to go so that you stay in control, instead of your debit orders, temptations, or unexpected expenses controlling you. February is the perfect time to reset your money habits. January is behind you, the year is settling in, and your spending patterns are cle

Out with the old and in with the new. Make a money plan that fits your life. Your money plan starts in your mind. Before you check your payslip, bank balance or budget, stop and ask: “What do I think about money?”  Many South Africans think, “I don’t have enough.” With the cost of living rising, debt weighing you down and payday always too far away, it’s easy to feel stuck. But small shifts in how you think can change how you choose. When “Januworry” stress hits, try this qui

A new year arrives and with it comes the familiar pressure to reinvent yourself . New goals. New habits. A better, more polished version of who you’re supposed to be. But what if 2026 isn’t about becoming someone new? What if it’s about finally owning who you already are? What It Means to Own Your Story Owning your story doesn’t mean loving every chapter. Some parts are painful. Some are messy. Some still hurt when you think about them. Owning your story means: Acknowledging

Imagine your body is a smartphone battery. When you get busy, the percentage drops, little by little. When you finally hit ‘low battery’ and plug in your charger, do you keep scrolling through apps, refreshing pages, and sending messages? Or do you actually let it recharge? Too often, leave looks like that first option. We try to catch up on everything we didn’t have time for, emails, chores, plans…until we crash, more tired than before. But real rest is about being intention

One Money Move:   Think about your goals and get inspired by what you and others have achieved. “Every success starts with small steps.” This year, we have encouraged you to take just one small money step each month - one “money move” to thrive in 2025. Financial well-being is a journey – it doesn’t happen straight away; it takes time, and there are many steps with good times and bad along the way.  As the year ends, take a moment to look back.  What “money moves” have you be

Welcome to your own little gratitude scavenger hunt. A simple way to notice the good that’s already around you, even if it’s easy to miss. Clue 1: Look Back Think about the past week. Can you remember one moment (big or small) that made you smile or gave you a bit of relief? Maybe someone held the door open, maybe you enjoyed a proper cup of tea, or just had five quiet minutes to yourself. Write it down. That’s your first little treasure. Clue 2: Seek the Unexpected Now think

One Money Move:   Check and Improve Your Insurance     You wear a seat belt not because you plan to crash, but to give yourself the best chance if you do crash. Insurance is the same, it’s about protecting yourself and your family when life doesn’t go as planned.  If something small happens, like hitting a pothole, you may be able to pay for it with money from your emergency savings. But what if something big happens, like your car is written off in an accident, or your house
