Real Talk with Michelle Budiwski

Navigating the Trade War with Grace - real talk Episode 25-1


Listen Later

The Canada-US trade war is heating up, and many of us are rethinking where we spend our money. Shopping local, buying Canadian, and avoiding certain US-based corporations sounds great in theory—but let’s be real, no one is going to get it 100% right. And that’s okay.
In this episode of REAL TALK, we’re diving into:
- How to shift our buying habits without guilt or pressure.
- Why progress matters more than perfection—because shaming people doesn’t help.
- The difference between ethical boycotts and harmful hostility—protesting Elon Musk is one thing, but vandalizing Teslas or attacking people who own his products? That’s not the move.
This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making conscious choices without turning on each other. Let’s focus on progress, grace, and community as we navigate this together.
Listen now! And tell us—are you changing your buying habits? What challenges are you facing? Drop a comment!
