Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

It is amazing the extent to which we deceive ourselves, stretching ourselves to all sorts of territories and situations that are purely imaginary. It is as though the whole future is planned, and a planned time has been stretched all the way back from the present moment and all the way forward from the present moment. Then everything is overcrowded.
Looking at things this way, we manage to get ourselves into a great deal of paranoia and panic. But if one really sees the present situation as it is, it is always a quite simple one. Some people have noted that they have a little gossip narrator in their heads going on all the time, the person or the voice that is sort of writing the script of their lives. People may feel that this omnipresent script seems to keep the future closed rather than permitting it to be open. However, actually and strangely enough, nobody writes the script at all. It just mysteriously happens. – Chögyam Trungpa, The Future is Open: Good Karma, Bad Karma, and beyond Karma

This book (for 3-9 year olds) focuses on anthropomorhic characters, Bobby Bear and Freddy Fox, best friends who are always competitive. On their African safari they decide to have a competition to see who takes the best photos of the Big Five. Bobby and Freddy can’t wait to explore the African bush with Manny Meerkat and Harry Hyena, their very interesting safari guides at Lubonzela Lodge. Who will see a lion, elephant, African buffalo, leopard or a rhino first? Will they get to see the Big Five and who gets the best photos? This is where the fun begins…
