Unfortunately, The Frugality Talks have been temporarily cancelled and all tickets refunded. Please email kate@the-frugality.com if you’d like to be on the priority mailing list to be notified of further Talks in the future.
We had a wonderful time hosting the first two talks and hope to continue soon!
Throughout March 2020, I’ll be moving my website offline and into real-life at Working From_ at The Hoxton Southwark, space in a series of talks with experts and women I admire. Join us for talks on money, interiors, fashion, productivity and all that other stuff that goes with it with rooftop views, a glass in hand and friendly faces!
Just a few minutes walk from Waterloo or Blackfriars, The Hoxton Southwark is super chic and we will be taking over the top floor Working From_ co-working space with a set of animated, fun and useful talks (6:30pm doors open) discussing how fashion will change, the role of money and social media, how we set fees when going freelance to being productive and why we’re all addicted to renovations! We’ll be covering a few different topics over the course of the month with women I can’t wait to introduce you to (if you don’t know them already!).

Money: the role of social media, comparison and knowing your worth
Panel discussion with Laura Whateley Journalist and Author of ‘Money: A User’s Guide’ and Chloe Forde – Stylist and founder of lifestyle brand Ace & Prince at Working From_ at The Hoxton.
I am thrilled to be discussing money with Laura Whateley, whose book really cuts through the financial jargon I have long been afraid of, and Chloe Forde who worked alongside me in those early underpaid magazine days and now runs her own successful lifestyle brand. We will be discussing the practical side of money, as well as the way it makes us feel and the issue of comparison and knowing what to charge in the era of freelance. Looking forward to it!
