  • The Smartest Investment You Can Make (Is You!)
    Jun 18 2026

    Self-worth and financial worth are interlinked, yet many of us don’t prioritise this. Your personal growth is your biggest asset. By regularly investing in you and your development, you will likely see some serious returns in your earning potential.

    In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by

    Amy Kean - Founder of Good Shout - a learning and development company helping people communicate with confidence. Amy explains how we should all be continually learning and investing in ourselves - as well as finding ways to boost our confidence and let our unique and authentic voice be heard. This increase in self-worth matters way more to your bank balance than you might think.

  • Sort Your Life (and Death!) Out
    Jun 4 2026

    We all have to do life admin, but some tasks feel far heavier than others. And so, many of us avoid doing them altogether. Whether it’s having an up-to-date Will, nominating your pension beneficiaries, or figuring out who you’d want to act on your behalf if something were to happen, this is the kind of life or death admin many of us run from - until we can’t!

    In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Mike Hiner, who’s an estate planner from Strategic Asset Protection.

    Together they discuss the practical steps, common misconceptions and the small actions you can take now that will make a huge difference for the people you would leave behind. From choosing who you’d like to benefit from any cherished possessions and savings to ensuring the paperwork is legally binding - we are making the conversation around this important admin feel a little less overwhelming.

  • Is Your Attitude To Money Making You Poorer or Wealthier?
    May 21 2026

    How does your attitude towards money affect your current finances and shape your long-term financial wellbeing? And where does this mindset come from?

    From your spending and saving habits to how much you can earn and what you think you’re worth. It has all been quietly shaped by your family, your upbringing and your friends. All the little messages you were absorbing without even realising have played a part in shaping your attitude towards finances or money script. And it ultimately shapes your future financial wellbeing.

    In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Selina Flavius, Financial Coach and Author of Black Girl Finance. Selina went from having a huge fear around money and debt, to shifting her attitude and allowing herself to thrive financially. Together they delve into the different money scripts we have, the behaviours they encourage and how we might want to re-write them if they’re not serving us.
