On the 19th and 20th of September, Blue Sky will proudly partner with Wild & Wiser as the festival’s Exclusive Financial Planning Partner.

Wild & Wiser is a Dorset-born weekend created by women, for women. A space designed to pause, reconnect and explore what comes next, personally, professionally and emotionally. It brings together thoughtful conversations around wellbeing, confidence, creativity, career, identity and change.

Many of the women attending are navigating significant transitions:

• divorce or separation
• career reinvention
• burnout or redundancy
• caring responsibilities
• business growth
• retirement and long-term planning
• rebuilding confidence
• asking bigger questions about life, purpose and financial confidence

These are exactly the moments when financial clarity matters most.

Come and meet Johanna Payne-Knauf, Angela Wood, Lesley Keets and Emma Hardy.

Let’s get talking.

At Blue Sky, we believe financial planning is about far more than money alone.

It is about helping people feel calmer, clearer and more confident about the future, especially during periods of change.

For many women, financial conversations can feel intimidating, overwhelming or simply pushed to the bottom of an already long to do list. Wild & Wiser creates space for more open, honest and empowering conversations, and we are incredibly proud to be part of that. You’ll find us throughout the weekend within the Wild & Wise Marketplace, joining panel discussions and in conversations and workshops centred around confidence, clarity and navigating change well.

We know that many people delay financial planning because life feels too busy, too uncertain or simply too overwhelming.

Our role is not to tell people what to do. It is to help you understand your options, feel informed and make decisions with greater confidence.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

David Campbell

One of the weekend’s featured conversations will bring together female experts from financial planning and law to explore some of life’s most significant transitions.

Our very own Emma Hardy will be joining the panel discussion with topics such as:

• Leaving toxic workplaces
• Navigating divorce and separation
• Protecting yourself financially
• Estate planning essentials
• Rebuilding confidence after change

Expect practical guidance, honest conversation and a refreshingly human approach.
