Free Online Event: The Real Financial Literacy Talk

How to Talk About Real Financial Literacy - Wellspent and What the Finance

In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, Wellspent and What The Finances have joined forces to host a FREE online event.

About this Event

Have you experienced regretful spending? Still trying to understand how to manage a budget?

Let the experts teach you how to improve your spending habits!

In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, Wellspent and What The Finances have joined forces to host a FREE online event to teach you about real financial literacy.

These days, we continue to be showered with education that only hits the tip of the iceberg when it comes to improving our financial health. Real financial literacy needs to be more than financial strategies that don’t include the state of our nervous system.

In this session, we will explore the “why of the buy,” the subconscious belief systems that hijack our rational minds and influence our behaviours, as well as some real tools that can lead to lasting shifts.

We will cover the following topics:

  • Recognizing the different types of energetic blocks that we experience with our money

  • The brain, the nervous system and money

  • Money narratives, self-exploration

  • Tools for shifting

The event will take place on a Zoom Video Webinar. If you would like to attend but can't make the live call, we will email you the recording.

Event Facilitators

Chantel Chapman, What The Finances

Drawing influence from 14 years of experience as a mortgage broker, ten years as a financial literacy consultant, and extensive research in trauma, addiction, behavioural science, and mindfulness. Chantel’s distinct disciplines make learning about money the antithesis of anything you experienced through traditional schooling. Chantel recognized the need to explore the ties between trauma, addiction and money to help people heal, grow, and strengthen their relationship with their bank accounts. After completing meditation and Kundalini teacher training in India and Vancouver, intentional mindfulness for healing behavioural issues with money has become a core part of her financial literacy business. Chantel has been working side by side with Psychotherapist Hiroko Demichelis exploring the links between trauma and money with their Trauma of Money program. Chantel is also the co-founder of School by K&P, an online school for creative entrepreneurs that also provides free education for marginalized communities across North America.

Wellspent

Wellspent is a money management app powered by RBC Ventures that was built to change the way people think about money. The founding team met while working on various projects at RBC. These projects had them spending a lot of time with people, exploring the very complex, emotional and human domain of spending and personal finance. Through their work, they saw the massive divide between the financial industry and how people actually think, feel and experience money in their own lives. Wellspent is the only app in Canada that helps users understand how they feel about their spending. Users can see their spending habits and feelings towards money in a unique and customized experience. This knowledge enables you to track your progress and build positive money habits in the future.
