Fresh off Taina's trip to Paris, the conversation unpacks how capitalism conditions us to believe money solves all problems, why being rich doesn't equal happiness, and how white women need to reckon with the ways whiteness shapes their relationship to money and power—even while experiencing gender-based oppression.\nIn This Episode, We Get Into:\nWhy we're conditioned to believe celebrities and wealthy people have no problems (and why that's bullshit)\nHow anxiety shapes the way we think about money, safety, and access\nThe difference between financial security and being rich-rich—and why one matters more than the other\nWhat fame actually costs: privacy, safety, constant scrutiny, and never knowing who's around you for the right reasons\nWhy having money doesn't erase trauma, PTSD, or the way our brains are wired\nHow wealth can buy access to things that lead to happiness—therapy, rest, travel, time with loved ones—without being a cure-all\nThe isolation and judgment that can come with having more money than the people around you\nWhy white women need to stop centering their own experiences when talking about wealth and financial liberation\nHow the \"all women need to get wealthy\" narrative erases the different lived realities of BIPOC women\nWhy it's critical for white women to understand that gender oppression and white privilege can (and do) coexist\n🎤 JOIN US IN THE FEMINIST PODCASTERS COLLECTIVE","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aNtkeONUK2JFF10pE30y12Nynv6W5wgwicUSi78cNts/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMmU0/NjgyMWQ2YWYxMDE4/MTE0ZGIzY2I3MDEx/MTlhYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
