🏳️‍🌈 Queer Finance & Anti-Capitalist Money Strategies with River Nice

Listen Later

Are you exhausted from trying to make "ethical" financial choices in a system built for billionaires? This week’s episode of The Money Healing Club Podcast will redefine how you think about financial justice, mutual aid, and community care.

Host Rachel Duncan and Angie Fitzpatrick sit down with River Nice (they/them), a queer, anti-capitalist financial educator, to break down:

  • Why "voting with your dollars" isn't enough—and what actually works.
  • How to invest with an anti-capitalist mindset (yes, it’s possible).
  • Why estate planning is crucial for queer & chosen families.
  • Creative ways to build financial security outside the system.

    • 💭 "Y’all, this episode is packed. We talk about the financial systems stacked against us, but more importantly—how we take care of ourselves and each other anyway. I walked away from this conversation thinking about money in an entirely new way, and I hope you do too." —Rachel
