Well hello, my brilliant bunch - this one is a must-listen. Especially if you’ve ever muttered, “I really should get my financial shit sorted” and then promptly buried your head in a planner and poured a wine.

In this episode of It’s Got Pockets, I’m joined by the absolute powerhouse that is Katy Eatenton - mortgage adviser, insurance strategist, financial educator and straight-talking queen of ‘let’s-have-the-hard-conversations-before-it’s-too-late.’

We’re diving headfirst into the stuff we wish someone had told us at 25, are now scrambling to learn at 45, 55 and beyond and still don’t talk about anywhere near enough - money, protection, inheritance, insurance, divorce, new partners, messy plot twists, dodgy exes and what to do right now to safeguard your future.

No shame. No jargon. Just solid, relatable advice for women who are leading businesses, raising kids, navigating blended families, or waking up to the fact that ‘financial planning’ isn’t just for city boys with briefcases.

In this fiercely honest and empowering conversation, we cover:

💸 Why protecting yourself isn’t paranoid, it’s powerful
🏠 Tenants in common, wills, and what happens when the kids from your first marriage meet the mortgage from your third
📉 How your business can pay for your insurance (and why you absolutely should)
👀 The danger of avoiding ‘awkward’ money convos until it’s too bloody late
💥 The financial red flags we need to stop ignoring in relationships (DBS check, anyone?!)
📈 What to do now, even if you feel behind, overwhelmed or under-informed

And yes - I overshare a bit (lot) (there may be a kidnapping dating story) but that’s the point. Because if we don’t talk about it, we don’t do anything about it.

✨ Whether you're single, in a relationship, remarried, running a business, running a household, or just bloody running on empty - this episode will give you the clarity and kick up the arse you didn’t know you needed.

🔗 I’ve popped all Katy’s details in the show notes - go follow her, message her and for the love of financial peace of mind, get your bloody will sorted.

Because you don’t need to be rich to protect what matters. But you do need to start.

And as Katy says: Beg for forgiveness, not for permission. Amen to that.
