The Art of Money Podcast

I had the opportunity to join money therapist Bari Tessler and share about the unspoken impacts of growing up wealthy. We also discuss tools for navigating money-related shame, deepening collective safety in the face of a crumbling economy, unraveling internalized superiority and comparison, and much more. Check it out here and let me know what you think!

Walk the Money Talk Cohort (4th Edition)

As my fourth Walk the Money Talk Cohort is wrapping up, I’m pleased to share that this group is collectively moving $3.78M into communities and social justice movements.

"Before I started this cohort, I wasn't sure where to begin: I felt the weight of wanting to do "good" in the world, but every time I tried to take a step forward I felt overwhelmed and would shut down. This program has helped me move from inaction to action. It has helped me learn to strive for "good enough" rather than "perfect" and after just a few months I have moved money in a more meaningful way than I ever have previously. I am so grateful for not only Iris' guidance and coaching, but also for the cohort of people who I met and with whom I have built a supportive relationship. I recommend this program for anyone who is looking for the sense of security that comes with building resources outside of financial wealth." - Sadie

“This sounds dramatic but it's not an exaggeration: working with Iris and the Walk the Money Talk Cohort changed my life. I remember learning about the cohort and thinking, "it's too good to be true." This experience promised a lot, yet it absolutely over-delivered. I have been impressed not only by the content of the sessions, but by the structure of it, and how it allowed us to get to know ourselves and each other gently, compassionately, and productively, but not urgently or with any set of expectations. I've made significant strides in aligning my values, which I now understand so much better, with my finances and my career. It has been a lot of work, both emotionally and logistically, but it was the best time and money I've ever spent.” - Ariel

“I was part of Iris' Walk the Money Talk Cohort. Being part of this cohort was the first time I felt truly supported to engage with how I felt about my money and build a really tangible plan for how it's managed and redistributed. Iris is incredibly skilled at guiding a group while also supporting each of us no matter where we were in our money journey - challenging us to think differently, bigger and bolder about how we engage with our money. Being part of this cohort was truly game changing in helping me build a healthier and more impactful relationship with my wealth.” - Alex

Giving-Related Resources (shoutout to Justice Funders for compiling these)

• Want to support on-the-ground organizing efforts in Ukraine but don’t know where to give? Check out this resource guide compiled by various social justice funders networks.

• Last month, Resist—a foundation that supports people’s movements for justice and liberation—published a Black Liberation Giving Guide, a directory of their Black-led grantees that are re-imagining a world where liberation, visibility, dignity, and civil rights become truth for all of us.
