    22- Conflict Resolution: A framework for money arguments

    22- Conflict Resolution: A framework for money arguments
    It is normal to argue about money with our partners, kids, boss, friends or wherever money is involved. It is not healthy to avoid discussing our money arguments, but rather we need to draw them out, understand them, and work on a resolution process. We may be more willing to discuss money arguments if we understand that financial conflict is a normal aspect of any relationship. In this episode, we go over the 4 step conflict resolution framework offered by the Financial Therapy Association. .

    21- Scarcity: Why having too little means so much

    21- Scarcity: Why having too little means so much
    The psychology of scarcity explores how people's minds are less efficient when they feel they lack something — whether it is money, time, calories or even companionship. Being poor requires so much mental energy that those with limited means are more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions than those with bigger financial cushions. In this episode, we discuss the book “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much” as we dive into the impacts of scarcity. .

    20- The Dilemma Between Wealth and Spirituality

    20-  The Dilemma Between Wealth and Spirituality

    Some people hold themselves back from earning money because of a belief, either conscious or unconscious, that it isn’t spiritual to earn money. They may also believe that you can’t be a good person and be wealthy at the same time – that you somehow have to do something bad to become wealthy. Where do these beliefs come from and how can we overcome them? In this episode, we explore the dilemma of wealth and spirituality. We offer some reflection questions to support a mindset shift that can help you on your financial health journey.

    17- Wealth Guilt: When money is a source of shame
    We have all heard the clichéd phrase that money doesn’t buy happiness. There has been a cultural shift in attitudes towards wealth post the 2008 market crash.

In this episode, we discuss what work can look like to make it an enriching entity in our lives. The pandemic introduced us to various work structures and accelerated our readiness to potential hybrid models to increase flexibility. How do we move forward from here?

    13- Financial Triggers:  Understanding the layers underneath our money emotions

    Whether it is a person, a place, a situation, an occasion or a specific date, we all have a host of financial triggers. Financial Triggers are situations that emotionally influence how we behave with money. Often our present triggers exist as a result of a past memory that left an emotional blueprint in our minds. In this episode, we introduce this concept to you and invite you to think about your own financial triggers so you can start managing them better.

    11-Financial Enabling – When helping hurts

    11-Financial Enabling – When helping hurts

    We know that increased cost of living, low wages, and unstable employment trends challenge a lot of young adults trying to establish financial independence. Financial Enabling stems from the intention to help someone in the short term, but ends up hurting both parties in the long run. While it is not exclusive to the parent/child dynamic, it is very common to observe it in such instances, particularly when guilt drives parents’ decisions to support their kids while sabotaging their own financial health. In this episode, we explore this dysfunctional behavior and offer some tools to help navigate it.

    We love to share real, tangible stories about how the principles of Conscious Economics show up in our day-to-day lives. In this episode, we introduce you to Brandi, a woman who lives and breathes our values in the way she started and expanded her business. In 2012, Brandi found herself living in a women's shelter in Vancouver due to domestic violence. In this space, Brandi’s vision of redefining luxury beauty as kind, conscious and affordable, truly came to life. This vision evolved into Evio Beauty, a platform for beauty products that also serves as a platform for evoking global social change.
