Join HFM’s women’s group, the Ruby Connection, at 7-8pm on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Adult women in the bleeding disorders community come together for online social experiences that include an educational speaker or activity and connection with other women in the community. The group is open to women affected with a bleeding disorder or involved in the bleeding disorder community.
TOPIC: Financial Wellness
What does it mean to be “financially well?” What steps can you take to achieve financial wellness in today’s stressful environment?
In this workshop, we’ll review:
- The impact of fixed money mindsets and how changing our stories around money can change our actions (and our lives)
- The power of values-based spending
- A few steps you can start taking today to secure your future, no matter your income level
You’ll come away from the workshop with some new ideas about money, a template for making financial decisions, and actionable steps to start creating wealth and reducing money stress in your life.
