The Financial System Was Built Around Partnership. You're Building Wealth on Your Own.
What You’ll Learn
The system was built around two incomes and shared resources. This session is different. It starts with the reality of building wealth and having financial security as a single woman.
- 01
Why the System Wasn’t Built for You
Ever feel like you’re working harder just to stand still? There’s a reason. Many financial structures assume two incomes and a built-in safety net. Once you see it, you’ll stop blaming yourself.
- 02
The Real Risks Single Women Face
When you’re building wealth alone, the risks land differently. Longer life expectancy, career interruptions, and the challenge of creating long-term financial security without shared resources can have a significant impact on your future. We’ll show you why these realities matter and what to do about them.
- 03
Why Inaction is the Riskiest Move of All
The greatest financial risk for many single women isn’t making the wrong move. It’s waiting too long to make any move at all.
- 04
Your Next Brilliant Move
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the financial challenges that affect single women differently, and greater clarity about where your attention may be most valuable.
WHY NOW
Why this Conversation Matters
Many women are doing exactly what they were told would create financial security. They work hard, build careers, save money, contribute to pensions and, where possible, buy homes.
Yet growing numbers are discovering that these efforts do not always deliver the financial security they expected.
Across the UK, concerns are growing about a widening gap between retirement expectations and retirement reality. For women, the challenge is often greater. Lower lifetime earnings, career interruptions and caring responsibilities frequently result in significantly lower pension wealth than men.
For single women, there is an additional reality. Much of the financial system assumes costs, risks and responsibilities will be shared.
This is not a question of discipline or responsibility.
It is a financial reality that deserves its own conversation.

Linda Ligios
Linda spent decades building a career at the highest levels, working with the BBC, the British Library, King’s College London and Digital Catapult. She saved carefully, bought her own home, and paid off her mortgage. By every measure, she was doing it right.
Then, while planning her next career move, she took a closer look at her finances and retirement plans and realised they were unlikely to deliver the future she had expected. Not because she hadn’t worked hard, but because the system she’d been working within was never designed for a single woman building an independent life.
That realisation gave life to Her Wild North, a mission to help single women build the financial freedom and security they’ve earned, one brilliant move at a time.

Who is this event for?
This event is for single women who are working hard, being responsible with money, and still feel like something isn’t adding up. Whether you’re just starting to think about this, trying to pay off your debt, considering a career change, or thinking about buying a home, you’re in the right place. You don’t need to have your finances figured out before you come.
Where will the event take place?
This is a live online event and will take place on Zoom. You’ll receive the link to join after registering.
Do I need to be good with money to attend?
Not at all. This event is designed for women who are doing their best, making responsible decisions, and still feel like something isn’t adding up. You don’t need financial knowledge to benefit from this conversation, just a willingness to look at your situation differently.
What if I don't consider myself wealthy yet?
That’s exactly why this conversation matters. Wealth isn’t about already having money, it’s about understanding how to strengthen your financial position from where you are today. Whether you’re paying down debt, building savings, considering a home purchase, or planning your next career move, this session will help you think more strategically.
How is this different from traditional financial advice?
Most financial advice assumes shared resources, shared risk, and a partner in the picture. This session starts with a different reality: building financial security as a single woman. Instead of adapting advice designed for someone else, we’ll explore strategies that begin with your circumstances.
What if I feel like I'm already behind financially?
You’re not alone. Many women come to this conversation carrying a sense that they should be further ahead by now. This session isn’t about judgment or blame. It’s about understanding what’s really influencing your financial position and identifying what you can do next.
Why should I think about this now?
Because financial decisions add up over time, both the ones we make and the ones we delay. You don’t need to have everything figured out. But understanding your position now gives you more options, more time, and more control over what comes next.
What will I leave with?
You’ll leave with a new perspective on your financial position, a clearer understanding of the challenges that affect single women differently, and a simple framework for thinking about what comes next.
You've Worked Hard Enough. It’s Time for a Strategy that Works for You.
