#20 - The Digital Illusion of Financial Independence in a Cashless World

from The Human Signal — with Laura Sheeran · host Laura Sheeran

In this episode of The Human Signal, I talk through what happened when I lost access to my phone for a day while I was away from home, and why it shook me so deeply. I reflect on financial dependency, cashless systems, women’s safety and autonomy, and the terrifying fragility of our lives when they are organised entirely through a single device.
