Rewriting our money mindset: an evening of empowerment and collective impact

Money is about more than just numbers. It’s a deeply personal relationship intertwined with our values, beliefs, and well-being. Pathfinder and Hi Money had the privilege of exploring this relationship with a room full of inspiring wāhine (and a few curious, & very welcome, men), delving into the profound ways our money mindsets shape our lives and the world around us.

Creating an open space for connection & growth

Our intention was simple but powerful: create a place where attendees felt empowered to discuss their personal relationships with money. Together, we unpacked everything from the influence of our money stories on our behaviours to the transformative impact of investing in a way that aligns with our values.

The dynamic Hi Money duo, Angela Meyer and Rachel Davies , led the group through eye-opening exercises that unearthed hidden beliefs about money many of us didn’t even know we held. Pathfinder then shared insights into how ethical investing can help shape a world where your savings and investments can drive positive change.

A night of insights, inspiration, and kōrero

It was an uplifting evening of learning, connection and kōrero. Here’s what one attendee had to say about her experience:

“The Pathfinder event was amazing - opening up a room full of possibility and growth for my self development. I’ve started to have more healthy conversations about money with friends and family and I am on my way to setting up investments that align with my beliefs.

I realised that unconscious connections towards money were preventing me from opportunities. I want to keep building on my knowledge and understanding about my relationship with money so I can make it blossom into something fun and beautiful.” - Kim Adams

A heartfelt thank you

We couldn’t have brought this event to life without the support of our amazing sponsors who helped make the evening even more special. A huge thank you to Aleph Beauty , Abel , Ozone Coffee , AWWA Period care , and Almighty for the epic goodie bags.

Looking ahead

This was just the beginning. We are so grateful for the evening’s kōrero and connection, and we can’t wait to do it again. Together, we’ll continue exploring how to rewrite our money stories, align our investments with our values, and create a collective impact that’s both meaningful and inspiring.
