Description
Let’s start a conversation about financial resilience.
If you lost your job or relationship today, would you be OK?
The fact is that thousand of women in Australia are not. Women over 55 are the fastest growing homeless group in this country, and it’s a trend echoes in the UK and US. Most of these women were not born into poverty, just poorly insulated from it.
Drawing on inspiring multi-generational stories, Louise Fitzgerald-Baker shows how to build strength and resilience in all aspects of our lives, starting with business and finance.
A successful property developer, Louise risked losing everything when the industry hit a downturn. The stress took its toll and she had to urgently look after her health and wellbeing.
In the process, she realised that she wasn’t alone. Many women told Louise they’d suddenly realised the ground had shifted. They had to re-think who they were and how they could continue to contribute to the world in a meaningful way.
‘The Pink Hard Hat’ is Louise’s metaphor for financial insulation. It’s all about building a life of security, resilience and purpose. So pull on your hard hat and your steel-capped boots, and start investing in yourself now.
Louise is on a mission to change the plight of accidental poverty for women today. She wrote this book to start the conversation about money. Louise believes Are you OK? should extend to our financial wellbeing. And that as women, we need to share our stories and insights to help each other along. Each one, teach one. In that way we can build our resilience, capacity and community.
