9. Balancing Hormones and Finances: Tracy's Journey Through Perimenopause and Financial Empowerment

Unlock the secrets to a balanced financial and hormonal life as we sit down with Tracey Taylor, a Platinum Spark member and accomplished entrepreneur. Tracy courageously shares her personal journey navigating perimenopause and how it unexpectedly impacted her financial decisions. Discover how the stresses of COVID-19, homeschooling, and health challenges led her to a breaking point and how a pivotal moment inspired by Davina McCall's book "Menopausing" helped her take back control.
In our engaging conversation, we explore the critical link between hormonal changes and financial behaviour. We break down the differences between menopause and andropause, shedding light on how hormonal declines can disrupt overall well-being. Learn how financial therapy can be a game-changer during life transitions like perimenopause and get practical advice on reframing negative financial language. Understand the concepts of the 'survive brain' and 'thrive brain' to enhance your financial planning and foster a healthier relationship with money.
Finally, Tracey introduces us to MenoMoney, her innovative business aimed at supporting women through perimenopause and menopause by addressing hormones, mindset, and financial behaviour. She shares powerful insights on transforming challenges into opportunities and underscores the importance of self-care, setting clear goals, and seeking expert help. Tracy’s story is a testament to the power of networking, meaningful connections, and a positive money mindset in overcoming life's hurdles.

About the Host:
Jess White is an entrepreneur, yogi, and CEO. She has three businesses, two children, and two dogs, so life is full! Jess realised early on that life is a gift, and you should never take it for granted. She lives her life to the full with gratitude, never holding back.
Jess started her first business in 2008, making cakes, as she wanted to be able to create a business while being a full-time Mum. This led her to win several Great Taste Awards, appear on TV, and pitch to Virgin Atlantic, Waitrose, and Asda. When asked to design a range of cakes for a supermarket, she decided to put entrepreneurship on hold to focus on raising her children so she could return to business, but she did not want to miss being there and bringing up her children.
As they grew older, in 2015, Jess began a new business, which was her total passion for helping others through what had helped her gain strength and healing through the beautiful practice of yoga and meditation. YogiTribe has taken Jess around the world, creating transformational retreats and bringing people together in beautiful places to create growth that affects their lives physically, mentally, and spiritually. After wishing she had discovered yoga as a child because of its transformational effects, she also fulfilled a dream of teaching yoga to children and is now training others to do the same.
Realising she loves business and bringing people together to create connection and transformation, in 2022, Jess created Spark Business Networking and began hosting networking events with a difference. She gave her clients fantastic events that put them at ease and made the whole experience enjoyable and effective. Spark has grown to a thriving business community of members and is now expanding through the Spark franchise.
