Simone Boer
A Fresh Approach Coaching & Consulting
Neuroscience expert Simone featured in an article about the rise of letter writing in The House of Wellness magazine.

Sometimes the oldest habits are exactly what our nervous systems need most.
Andrew Woodward
The Investors Way
From navigating career breaks and divorce to preparing for retirement, there are certain things that women should prioritise financially in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Wealth coach Andrew laid it out for SHE DEFINED last month saying the key isn’t perfection, it’s intention.
‘You do not need to have a perfect past to build a strong future,’ he said. ‘Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s, the best move is to become intentional with your money now.’
Andrew also contributed to Nine.com.au article on the impact of sweet treats and your budget. He gave a real-world example of how these treats can add up and derail your money plan. They don’t have to be sweet treats either, they can be any form of instant gratification, such as subscriptions too.
