Women. Wealth. Well-being. Financial and emotional guidance for your life. As seen in Spear’s 500 We explore financial, social and emotional well-being. Incl.

Founded in 2016 as response to a desire for deeper connection between personal finance and well-being, The Dura Society strives to dispel the notion that females and finance don't go together. We do this by empowering, engaging, and motivating with inspiring talks, online and off-line courses and events, interviews, and collaborations with our trusted network. We offer private financial coaching,

and corporate workshops, enabling re-engagement not just with finances, but with overall well-being, relationships and emotions. WE BRING CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF WEALTH

Our three pillars are:

· Women - we are advocates for equality for all sexes
· Wealth - we strive to educate and inspire individuals to take control of their own wealth
· Well-being - we look to share knowledge of healthy habits for both finances and mental health

In addition to our growing community of ambitious and intelligent individuals we work with likeminded brands and organisations to create events, content and a curated network. Get in touch if you would like to work with us. Along with our experienced and professional contributors we deliver the highest quality content so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands. We publish our insights quarterly so be sure to sign up to 'The Wealth and Wellness Edit' via our website. Investing, Art, Property, Philanthropy & more...

On Thursday we celebrated A DECADE OF DURA with some of the most brilliant humans … not even a tube strike could stop us from filling the incredible gallery for an evening of contagious warmth and connections.

We so love bringing together brains from across so many disciplines and watching the magic unfold…more to come but here’s a quick note to say thank you again to everyone who helped make this such an inspiring and heartfelt evening 🫶

Love, Lottie xx

Big up for your exemplary coordination and generous hosting. ILY 💪🤓💙

Putting last minute touches together to welcome over 100 of our incredible friends, lovers, supporters, and allies tomorrow in celebration of a Decade of Dura. (Argh, where’s the time gone?! 🫪)

10 years ago I had a little idea (from my hospital bed) … frustrated with why the F**K I didn’t have a clue about an industry I was working in (Wealth Management) before I fell into it…and how I could marry this knowledge with my art and design brain (tbt Chelsea Art College) and create something beautiful with purpose… 🤔💭

…exploring women’s financial and legal agency, and the importance of understanding where your exits are in all eventualities is … but it’s also presented soooo boringly (IMO) by the brains in the know… or mashed up by finfluencers who do very well at regurgitating stats on camera but have very little contextual or theoretical understanding.

We exist bridge, fill and aim erase that gap…and have FUN during the process 🕵🏼‍♀️✨

With our Mary Poppins approach to the difficult things in life (death, divorce, debt anyone??…) we are so grateful to be in the position where we can bring INCREDIBLE humans together for truly AUTHENTIC and INTELLIGENT experiences and conversations… we don’t buy followers to create superficial branded partnerships, but we do build REAL relationships, with TRUE experts…

So here we are: celebrating an art project that spiralled into a business. Thanks for being part of it - there’s so much more fun ahead ✨🎉💙🚀✨

See y’all tomorrow - come rain or shine, we’ll bring the sunshine 🌞🩵 Lottie xx

Last night we hosted Dura Dives: The Invisible Load: Brain, Body and Estate Planning for The Sandwich Generation at Lanserhof at The Arts Club and wow was it fun.

We heard from neuroscientist Sophie Hascher on the concept of Brain Capital and her research into financial behaviour and cognitive development.

Caroline Foulger of Hunters Law LLP shared tips for protecting ourselves and our loved ones, legal tools, and how to navigate difficult conversations when it comes to implementing care provisions

Dr Nikita Grover of Lanserhof Group enlightened us with her medical expertise and how, as women, the importance of managing hormones, stress, and sleep for our long-term health.

Thank you to all the wonderful women (and men!) who joined us…

Wow what a wonderful morning. Thank you to Hunters Law LLP for supporting a very special breakfast talk on family formations and celebrating the launch of ZITA WEST’s new book ‘Conceive’.

Amy Rowe explored and debunked some of the misconceptions when it comes to conception…including laws surrounding surrogacy, egg freezing, and embryo rights in relationships.

Thank you to all who joined us. 💙

And thank you to who generously gifted their beautiful pregnancy-friendly spf to our guests ✨

IN THE PRESS 🗞️

We were delighted to be featured in The Times this weekend, along with our committee member Jess Miller of , as part of an important piece on Financial Infidelity by Alice Wright.

Nearly 2 in 5 people in a UK relationship are committing financial infidelity. Not hiding the odd online order. Hiding debt, secret accounts, gambling losses, undisclosed income.
31% of couples have a credit card the other person doesn’t know exists. 1 in 7 people don’t know what their partner earns. 15% of young people have had bills put in their name by a partner who didn’t pay them, damaging their credit score in the process. And in a divorce, hidden assets affect the settlement, and courts are unlikely to overlook them.

What you can do:
• Check your own credit report regularly, including anything registered to your address
• Run a periodic joint credit check if you share accounts or a mortgage
• Know what you’ve signed, guarantor arrangements, joint loans, shared debt
• Have a regular money conversation with your partner, not a row, a check-in
• Take evasiveness around finances seriously

Financial transparency isn’t about mistrust. It’s about making sure the life you think you’re building together is actually the one you’re both building.

This is why we talk about money at The Dura Society. Financial clarity is protection.

Writing a will is one of the most considered things you can do for the people you love, yet it remains one of the most commonly deferred decisions in financial life. The reasons are understandable: it can feel remote, complicated, or simply uncomfortable to sit with. But without one, the law decides what happens to your estate, and the results can be surprising, costly, and occasionally painful for those left behind.

In this Essential Series conversation, we will explore the practicalities of writing a will with Verity Sherwin and Clarissa Ferguson of Payne Hicks Beach, drawing on their experience advising individuals and families across the full range of estate and succession planning. Together we will look at what a well-drafted will actually does, where people most often go wrong, and how to approach the process with clarity rather than dread.

This session is designed to be direct and practical, giving you the understanding and confidence to take the step that most of us know we should.
