From Financial Stress to Financial Confidence: Financial Protection as self care

Financial self-care isn’t just about saving and budgeting. It’s also about making sure the life you’re building can withstand the unexpected. What would happen financially if you couldn’t work for a period of time? Would the people who depend on you be protected? Are your beneficiaries up to date? Do you have an emergency cushion? Are there financial risks you may not realize you’re carrying? In this conversation, we’ll explore practical ways to move from financial uncertainty to greater confidence, including: Identifying common financial protection gaps Preparing for emergencies and unexpected changes Understanding the role of life and income protection Reviewing beneficiaries and important financial information Prioritizing what needs attention instead of trying to fix everything at once Turning financial worries into specific questions and next steps Financial confidence doesn’t mean having everything figured out or having a lot of money. It means understanding where you are, knowing what you’re working toward, and having a plan for protecting what matters most. Taking care of your financial future is part of taking care of yourself and the people you love. 📅 Thursday, September 24, 2026 ⏰ 3:00–4:00 PM MDT 📍 Ixora, A Wellness Collective 4749 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 Because reducing financial uncertainty can also reduce your mental load.
