Welcome to April's episode, where guest host Gemma Bennett, Senior Broker at The Mortgage Mum, takes time to discuss getting mortgage ready when you have a fixed term, temporary or zero hours employment contract. Being employed doesn't look the same for everyone and if you have an employment contract that isn't considered permanent, you may need to consider a few extra elements to help lenders understand your current and future income, when it comes to applying for a mortgage. Since working in the mortgage industry Gemma has seen just how varied lenders are in their approaches to contract workers and uses this podcast episode to give you an overview of things to consider and how to get yourself in the best position. Essentially it comes down to offering the lenders as much evidenced security of your income levels as we can. We do this by looking both back at your recent employment history and forward when it comes to non permanent contracted employment. Gemma hopes she can shed some light on what's required and what is most helpful if you're in this position. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Welcome to May's episode, where guest host Gemma Bennett, Senior Broker at The Mortgage Mum is joined by Abigail Foster founder and CEO of Elent Financial Education. Abi is an ACA chartered accountant and having recognised a severe gap in financial literacy within the workplace became passionate about doing what she can to amend this through relatable and easy to understand practical financial education, delivered through workshops in schools, universities and workplaces. This led to the creation of ELENT. Gemma and Abi discuss the importance of better financial education and how Abi is assisting in bridging this gap for so many. Her passion and drive to eradicate the gender pay gap and what she's doing to inform the younger generations of the future workforce, with better conversations around finances. Gemma discovered Abi on social media when recognising, from conversations with many clients and peers, that a need for a better financial education system is required and started wondering what was out there. Stumbling across Abi with her tagline, ‘the financial education you wish you had learnt at school,' Gemma knew she had found the person she was looking for. Abi, posts creative, vibrant and energetic content on her socials that's relatable and practical for all. Even elements such as understanding your payslip are so important and let's be honest, so many people don't, yet don't admit this. Our finances are part of our everyday and yet fluid conversations around our Pay, Tax, Pensions and Mortgages are still not the norm. Adequate comprehension around these elements of life is often not at the level it should be. As a result, people feel disempowered or overwhelmed. This should not be the case! You shouldn't have to be a financial professional to understand your day to day finances. Better conversations and education is important as we empower ourselves to take charge of such elements. Money is part of everyone's life and therefore cannot be a ‘taboo' subject and must be spoken about. Abi is a truly fascinating and interesting woman and her intellect and passion is so infectious as she talks about her inspirations and goals with Elent. We really hope you enjoy this episode and watch out for the launch of Abi's online financial education platform coming soon!
