Life, Money & Change: Financial Planning Through Every Stage of Life

Get back into the driver's seat of your life and money no matter the change or stage of life.

Major life transitions don’t just affect your emotions and identity - they impact your financial future in profound ways. And running out of money, feeling insecure or worried about how you'll manage is one of the biggest issues contributing to mental health challenges in men.

From relationship changes and raising children to career pivots, unexpected setbacks and retirement planning, each phase of life requires different financial thinking and preparation.

In this session, Miriam Wood is joined by financial and wealth planner Adam Drinkwater, who specialises in helping individuals and families make confident financial decisions through life’s biggest transitions.

Together, they will explore how financial clarity can reduce stress, increase options and help men feel more in control during uncertain seasons of life.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How financial priorities shift across different life stages
• Key financial considerations during relationship changes, family growth and retirement planning
• How to navigate financial setbacks or unexpected life events
• How strong financial planning supports confidence, freedom and long-term security

This session is designed for men who want to make smart, informed decisions and feel more financially prepared — regardless of what life throws at them.
