#210 Chatting about Protection with Katy Eatenton

In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, I’m chatting with financial adviser Katy Eatenton about a topic many people avoid but absolutely need to think about: protection. As this month’s theme is The Power of Connection, we also reflect on how our own connection began through a business retreat in Malta and deepened through shared rooms, conversations and masterminds... a perfect example of how meaningful connections can lead to new opportunities and important conversations. We talk about life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, wills and trusts, and why these things aren’t just “boring admin” but a vital part of protecting yourself, your family and your future. Katy also shares her personal backstory, that led her into this work, and why she’s now so passionate about helping people, especially women and business owners, avoid being left vulnerable when life takes an unexpected turn. This is a thoughtful and eye-opening conversation about planning ahead, making informed choices, and not leaving the important stuff until it’s too late. Katy’s Mic Drop Moment says it all: Don’t leave anything to chance.   Katy Eatenton is a multi-six-figure finance expert, keynote speaker, and single mother who has turned lived experience into impact.  With a background in financial planning and protection, Katy helps entrepreneurs and families secure their wealth, income, and not just for today, but for generations to come. Her work is anchored in a deeply personal mission: to protect people financially so no one is left relying on GoFundMe at life’s most vulnerable moments. Known for her calm authority, straight-talking delivery, and powerful stage presence, Katy brings both strategy and soul to every conversation.   Find out more about Katy here: Website: http://www.katyeatenton.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-eatenton/   JOIN THE COMMUNITY   Join the Let’s Get Visible® Network on Facebook: JOIN HERE for inspiration, visibility tips, networking, and a community to lift you up and support you on your business journey.   ATTEND A WOMAN WHO EVENT   Woman Who Inspires Network, Mic Drop Live, Awards, Strategy & Mastermind Days.   Find out more here: https://womanwho.co.uk/events/   WORK WITH ME   Group and 121 opportunities in 2026.
