WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT

with Vickie Magic

YOU MATTER

You deserve some YOU time. We are often just too busy, we give, give, give to others, but when is YOUR time? Bump yourself up the list of importance and give yourself some time for self-development, time to recharge your batteries and time for more peace, joy and a little more magic for yourself and your life. Reclaim your power and get your groove back or just step up into the next level of your journey, no matter where you are right now. A retreat is a wonderful opportunity to step back from our daily lives to find a moment of rest, to get in touch with yourself and simply find inner peace. It's a way of taking time out and assessing our life decisions, helping us to bring clarity to the challenges ahead. Why go on a retreat? Our current lifestyle is hectic. Technology may make life easier but it is not without stress. Our bodies’ natural state is not used to this rhythm, and periods of rest are becoming more and more important. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of life and dedicating time to ourselves affords us peace and strength to carry on our way of life. Retreats include all food except for dinners, three levels of accommodation, meditations, massage and connections with amazing non-judgemental ladies. Contact Vickie for more details and dates of upcoming retreats.

FINANCE

with Rachael Yurko

NEW BABY ON THE WAY?

Here’s some tangible ways to make the twoto-one income drop less stressful:

1. Discuss your money values with your partner in depth.

Invariably, there’ll be views on spending that don’t align between the two of you.

Knowing ahead of time can lessen the stress this causes when money is tight.

Agree on a discretionary budget for each of you to use however you see fit with no judgement. But if your wants don’t fit inside that budget – don’t spend it.

2. Review.

Assess your outgoings annually. Reviewing your mortgage can save thousands of after-tax dollars. Ensure you know what every direct debit is for and set some time to phone around and have your rates reviewed. Private health, personal insurance, home insurance, electricity, phone – anything that comes out automatically should be reviewed to see if you can get better rates, and to ask yourself if it continues to be necessary.

Nothing’s cheaper than $0 and if it doesn’t continue to offer value, it should go. ca
