The wellness internet has a money problem, and it's dressed up in the language of liberation. In this episode, I'm getting into something that has been bothering me for a long time: the quiet but pervasive trend of spiritual bypassing around finances in online wellness culture, and how it gets repackaged and sold to women under the banner of feminism. We talk about why the "money is neutral" conversation is not only wrong but actively harmful, and why the framework of abundance mindsets and manifestation only works for a very specific and already-privileged slice of the women it claims to serve. We get into the very real and very documented reality that it is expensive to be poor, and what it means to ask women who are already paying that tax to also reframe their relationship with money instead of demanding the system change. To round it all out and avoid feeling like there's no one to turn to, I also want to give you a practical guide for identifying whether a creator is genuinely advocating for all women or just selling a dream to the ones who can already afford it.  Show notes:<ul><li>A very relevant blog post: <a href='https://www.leadtogold.blog/post/why-money-coaching-gives-me-the-ick'>Why "money coaching" gives me the ick</a></li><li>More Perfect Union: <a href='https://substack.com/@moreperfectus/note/c-345623983?r=28q8ak&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web'>The total failure of our healthcare system is not a feel good story</a></li><li>I'm on <a href='http://lleadtogold.substack.com/'>Substack</a> now!<ul><li>Subscribe to the free tier for the same blog posts, podcast episodes, and monthly newsletter all in one place</li><li>Subscribe to the paid tier for an extra podcast episode every month where we get to talk about things I normally can't here 👀</li></ul></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/lead.to.gold/'>Follow me on Instagram</a></li><li>Thanks to DayFox for the intro/outro song!</li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2101401/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>

070 - I'm So Tired of "Rich Girl Feminism"

Today we're reflecting on the main themes of 2022, what we're still working on going into the new year, and how to actually attain some of these goals - I refuse to call it a New Years resolution!
