What is the difference between equality and equity? Today I'm chatting with Dr. Nicole Charles about embodying equity in our personal and professional lives. In this episode, we talk about how to continue (or pick back up) anti-oppression and anti-racist work, how we can use our learning and unlearning, and how to take an active role in dismantling oppression and racism in our world.

I'm a little under the weather this week so I've dug into the archives to bring you a conversation I really needed to revisit. Holiday shopping season is in full swing and that can mean spending gets a little out of control. That makes this the perfect time to dust off our financial self care knowledge and remind ourselves of our goals.

Original Show Notes:
In this episode I sit down with financial planner and best selling author Canna Campbell (Sugar Mamma TV on YouTube) to chat about taking care of yourself financially! We talk about budgeting, saving and investing. Plus Canna talks about the connection between money and emotions and how to responsibly budget for self care.

Today Mao and I are unpacking Moon Juice and how modern wellness brands use cultural appropriation to sell us a happier, healthier lifestyle. And we circle back to the origins wellness has in snake oil and the medicine shows of the 1880's and how the tactics brands use to sell us wellness hasn't changed much. We also talk about self care as a radical act and how self care is ultimately about community care, $60 supplements not required!
