About this episode

In the first episode of the series 'Confronting Complicity in Capitalism', Julia S discusses the importance of taking an honest inventory of privilege and financial history without shame or guilt.

This is part of a new series called Confronting Complicity in Capitalism . This special series is a season of experiment to really look at money and privilege with care & joy rather than shame & blame. Our experiment has begun, and our first step is seeing clearly the privilege that makes our lives possible. We start by taking honest inventory of what we have and where it comes from — diving into financial history, talking to family members. Without looking away. Without getting lost in shame or guilt. Naming what’s uncomfortable. We recorded our conversation, and are sharing it here and video on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7442988454805827584-FtCe Some big themes start to emerge: Accumulation and having more than I need Reconnecting to family history Security and the fear of losing it What is my money doing when I don’t see it As we keep this conversation going, we wonder: What comes up for you? What can you relate to?
