Nicola has been in ELT for over 20 years as a teacher, materials writer, and entrepreneur. She's written many coursebooks and over 200 pages of the British Council learning English website. More recently, she helps language teachers take control of their finances. 

Her interest in investing came about almost by accident when she began looking at her own woeful finances and she now supplements her income through investing and runs a course for beginner investors at The Chilled Investor. 

In this episode, Nicola dives into:

• how her childhood impacts her relationship with money
• why many teachers sweep finances under the rug
• what investing is and what it isn't
• demystifying limiting beliefs about investing
• why it's never too late
• how "desperation is the mother of research, self study, and self improvement"
• why precarity in our industry is more reason to invest in yourself, not less
