An event series helping older adults live longer, healthier lives — & make their money last even longer.

What is the Vibrant Living Series?

The Vibrant Living Series is a monthly speaker series designed to empower older adults with the tools, strategies, and confidence to live vibrantly in every area of life.
Led by Christine Ibbotson, also known as Ask the Money Lady — this series brings adults & seniors together for lively, engaging presentations focused on the three pillars that matter most:
  • Financial Literacy – Plan for longevity and protect your future
  • Health & Wellness – Stay strong, active, and resilient
  • Social Wellbeing – Stay connected, engaged, and thriving

Whether you’re planning ahead or already enjoying retirement, this series will help you feel confident, connected, and in control.

Your Host:

Christine Ibbotson,
Ask the Money Lady

I’m a national financial expert, best-selling author, and the syndicated columnist behind Ask the Money Lady, read weekly in over 750 newspapers across Canada and the U.S.

After years of speaking to older adults across the country, I realized we’re not just living longer — we’re looking for ways to live better. That’s why I created the Vibrant Living Series. I want to help you take control of your future and feel great about what’s ahead.

Let’s live long — and live well!

— Christine
