Key takeaway: You can delegate financial tasks. You can't delegate financial understanding.

Women in Numbers welcomed 60 members and guests to For Love & Money, our annual Signature Event exploring the intersection of money, relationships and financial decision-making.

Throughout the evening, one theme surfaced again and again: we can delegate financial tasks, but we shouldn't delegate financial understanding.

Together, our speakers explored the conversations, assumptions and decisions that can shape our financial future, often long before we recognise their significance.

About the speakers

Rachel Harker opened the evening by exploring why money can feel difficult to discuss in relationships, and how couples can approach those conversations with greater openness, care and confidence.

Melinda Winning shared practical insights into relationships, asset ownership, legal structures and financial protection, helping attendees better understand the importance of clarity and participation in key financial decisions.

Julie Garis reflected on what she wishes more women understood about their financial position long before they ever need someone in her profession, reinforcing the importance of staying connected to your financial world while life is good and the conversation is easy.

Across all three sessions, the message was consistent: awareness matters, participation matters, and confidence grows when we remain engaged in the financial decisions that shape our lives.

Thank you to our speakers, attendees and hosts at The Pillars for contributing to such a thoughtful and engaging evening.
