Money Feelings

What's your relationship to money? It's complicated. On the one hand, capitalism is killing us—our economic system is exploitive to its core. At the same time, we all need to earn a living. How do anti-capitalist feminist folks square our feelings about hating the economic system we live in with our need to feel financially stable, take care of our families, and maybe even buy a house someday? On this episode, "Money Feelings," feminist artists, activists, and entrepreneurs discuss their personal relationships to money. The show starts off with social justice educator and artist Roan Boucher, who cofounded the online journal Enough and now works for the worker co-op AORTA. Then, Refinery 29 senior features writer Ashley C. Ford joins us to talk about the lasting impacts of growing up poor. Prolific author Michelle Tea lays down some real talk about her path from railing against the world to figuring out how to live in it. And, finally, the hosts of the popular podcast Criminal talk about the finances of turning their dream creative endeavour into a stable business.
