Financial Wellbeing Reset: Building Healthier Financial Habits

Money is something we all live with, yet many people still feel unsure about how to talk about it – let alone manage it confidently. Rising costs, economic uncertainty and constant comparison have intensified financial anxiety, making it harder for individuals to know where to start or who to trust for guidance.

Improving financial wellbeing is not just about numbers. It is about mindset, habits and confidence – understanding how money works in everyday life, letting go of shame, and building practical routines that support resilience over time. When financial conversations feel open and relatable, people are far more likely to engage and take action.

Held close to International Women’s Day, our event reflects the fact that women in the UK are disproportionately affected by problem debt. Nearly two-thirds of debt advice clients at StepChange, the UK debt charity, are women, driven by lower incomes, the cost-of-living crisis, and higher caregiving responsibilities.

This Financial Times lunch and learn webinar, hosted in partnership with FT FLIC and FT Wellbeing, creates space for exactly those conversations. Led by Claer Barrett, the FT’s Consumer Editor, in discussion with content creator, journalist and motivational speaker Megan Archer-Fox, best known as “That Girl In Debt”, the session will draw directly on audience questions submitted in advance and live on the day. Together, they will explore how to reset financial habits, approach debt responsibly, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence – whatever your starting point.
