  • What You Need to Know About Divorce, Money and Starting Again
    Jan 15 2026

    Divorce can emotionally, practically and financially turn your world upside down. In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by friend of the show Jenny Hazan to unpack the impact on your finances when a relationship ends and how to protect your future.

    Drawing on both her professional expertise at L&G and her personal experience of divorce, Jenny explains why separation is often “two break-ups”, how the so-called “singles tax” can hit overnight, and she shares one of the most overlooked areas of divorce that can prevent regret later in life.

    Whether you’re navigating a divorce, supporting someone who is, or simply want to be better prepared for the future, this episode offers reassurance and practical steps for taking control of your finances one step at a time.

  • These Books Will Change How You Think About Money
    Jan 1 2026

    In our special Book Club episode, we’re starting the year a little differently by digging into the books that can genuinely transform how we think, feel, and behave around money. Because personal finance isn’t just about numbers. It starts with mindset, habits, and our relationship with money.

    Our host Iona Bain is joined by self-confessed bookworm Sean Philip from L&G’s Workplace Pension team, to explore four powerful reads:

    The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

    Money Together by Heather and Doug Boneparth

    Atomic Habits by James Clear

    The Anxiety Solution by Chloe Brotheridge

    Together, they unpack the big ideas, uncomfortable truths, and “aha” moments from each book. From why consistency beats luck when building wealth, to how couples can talk about money without conflict, how habits shape financial confidence, and why tackling anxiety is key to making better financial decisions.

    Whether you’ve read all four books, skimmed the highlights, or haven’t picked them up yet, consider this your guided tour through the insights that really matter and the small changes that can make a big difference to making your financial future a little bit richer.
