S4.E13 Why are women leaving the workforce and why does it matter? We've got answers.

Thu, 02 May 2024 04:00:00 +0000

In this solo episode, host Rhiannon Rosalind dives into the underlying issues impacting women's advancement in the workplace. Why are women leaving their jobs en masse? How does this affect our economy? And, most importantly, what can we do to support and retain diverse women in leadership positions? This is not only an economic issue - it's a mental health one.

Wellness belongs in business. Rhiannon highlights Conscious Economics' solutions framework (HeARTwork) backed by extensive research aimed at tackling the root causes of this mental health challenge. The HeARTwork movement is all about training, supporting, and retaining women in the workforce, with the goal of building a more mindful economy. We cannot build a more mindful economy without gaining a deeper awareness of ourselves and each other.

S4.E12 Unlocking Holistic Entrepreneurship: Transforming Business for Wellness with Raj Jana

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, host Rhiannon Rosalind delves into the heart of entrepreneurship with Raj Jana, the visionary Co-founder & CEO of Liber8.health, a human transformation company that helps individuals uncover and resolve the repressed emotions, hidden traumas, and unconscious belief systems that are contributing to poor mental & physical health. Together they explore the profound question: How do we authentically integrate healing into our lives and businesses?

In a culture that commodifies wellness, many individuals perpetually chase remedies but struggle to find lasting peace. Raj sheds light on the crucial connection between emotions, traumas, and our overall well-being. It's not just about throwing money at the problem; it's about doing the inner work to break free from the cycle.

We have to do a lot of our own work if we want to create something new and different from what’s already out there. As business leaders, we need to zoom out: when leaders prioritize their well-being, their businesses thrive in tandem. The return on investment is much greater when we focus on intricate holistic systems.

From recalibrating our perspectives on employee health to redefining success beyond monetary gains, we explore the multi-dimensional currencies of business. Survival mindset with money will not serve us; it's time to embrace the holistic approach where crisis can be a catalyst for transformation.

Tune in as we uncover the ripple effects of prioritizing emotional, physical, and environmental health in business decisions. Prosperity can encompass not only financial wealth but also the flourishing of our people and planet – and this is where we start.

S3.E6 The Trauma of Money with Chantel Chapman

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Why do we avoid our finances? Why do I overspend? Why am I unable to save? Why am I undercharging? At Conscious Economics, we are not traditional in our approach to money: we know that there's more to finance than understanding it's technicality. We need to go deeper, which is why we approach financial literacy from a trauma-informed lens. In this episode, we've called in our friend Chantel Chapman, CEO and Co-Founder of Trauma of Money. We talk financial avoidance, scarcity, and self-worth, digging far below the surface to uncover our subconscious patterning and how to break the cycle. Money can't buy happiness, but understanding our relationship to money can absolutely help.

*TW: While our intention is to expand our consciousness, these conversations aren't always comfortable. Please prepare for sensitive subject matter, particularly related to systemic oppression, racism, and/or abuse. Discretion is recommended: we honour your unique journey + encourage you to take pause when needed.

S3.E5 Music, money, and mental wellness: Exploring the personal and economic realities of a touring musician with Anna Ruddick

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 19:06:55 +0000

Musicians and live touring artists face a unique and delicate balance when it comes to wellbeing, not to mention that the notion of the "struggling artist" has done a lot of subconscious damage to folks in the industry, on a personal, political, and economic level.

Not only do artists have the power to heal our community, music generates massive economic revenue. But the reality is that Canadian musicians have limited access to resources that support their livelihood - especially when they need it the most. In this episode, we sink deep into the life of touring musician and artist advocate, Anna Ruddick, who gets real about the challenges many Canadian musicians face - and the unsuspecting resources available to create a more conscious economy.

S3.E4 New Economy leadership: Navigating art, technology, and human consciousness with Byron Wong

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +0000

It's no surprise that social media and new technologies have drastically impacted our individual and collective consciousness. Candidly speaking, we've become dopamine junkies, constantly craving stimulation. As a result, we're losing our capacity to delay gratification, to problem-solve, to sit with our discomfort, and to simply be bored. The affects that over-stimulation have on our mental health are varied and undeniable. Boredom breeds creativity. Discomfort brings us closer to our authentic Self. Problem-solving sparks innovation. Creating space to just BE can dramatically change how we show up in our personal and professional lives. When we talk about the New Economy, we're talking about a new foundation for business; one that is creative, conscious, and truly healthy. In this episode, we're joined by our dear friend, creative mastermind, and New Economy leader, Byron Wong, navigating all things art, technology, and human consciousness.

22- Conflict Resolution: A framework for money arguments

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 13:00:00 +0000

It is normal to argue about money with our partners, kids, boss, friends or wherever money is involved. It is not healthy to avoid discussing our money arguments, but rather we need to draw them out, understand them, and work on a resolution process. We may be more willing to discuss money arguments if we understand that financial conflict is a normal aspect of any relationship. In this episode, we go over the 4 step conflict resolution framework offered by the Financial Therapy Association.

21- Scarcity: Why having too little means so much

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 13:00:00 +0000

The psychology of scarcity explores how people's minds are less efficient when they feel they lack something — whether it is money, time, calories or even companionship. Being poor requires so much mental energy that those with limited means are more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions than those with bigger financial cushions. In this episode, we discuss the book “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much” as we dive into the impacts of scarcity.

20- The Dilemma Between Wealth and Spirituality

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 13:00:00 +0000

Some people hold themselves back from earning money because of a belief, either conscious or unconscious, that it isn’t spiritual to earn money.

Where do these beliefs come from and how can we overcome them? In this episode, we explore the dilemma of wealth and spirituality. We offer some reflection questions to support a mindset shift that can help you on your financial health journey.

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000

We have all heard the clichéd phrase that money doesn’t buy happiness. There has been a cultural shift in attitudes towards wealth post the 2008 market crash.

We also explore how various sources of wealth contribute to these emotions.

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 13:00:00 +0000

Work has a negative connotation associated with it. Most people see work as something they “have” to do to make ends meet. In this episode, we discuss what work can look like to make it an enriching entity in our lives.

11-Financial Enabling – When helping hurts

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 15:36:50 +0000

We know that increased cost of living, low wages, and unstable employment trends challenge a lot of young adults trying to establish financial independence. Financial Enabling stems from the intention to help someone in the short term, but ends up hurting both parties in the long run. While it is not exclusive to the parent/child dynamic, it is very common to observe it in such instances, particularly when guilt drives parents’ decisions to support their kids while sabotaging their own financial health. In this episode, we explore this dysfunctional behavior and offer some tools to help navigate it.

Women account for 62% of lost jobs and returning to the labor force comes with its own set of challenges. In this episode, we unpack economic barriers facing women today, especially those issues that were amplified by the pandemic. We outline important measures needed to reduce the potentially devastating impact this could have on our economic and social infrastructures.

08-Passion vs. Profit – Do these compete or complement each other?

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Viewing profit and passion as oxymoronic is a limiting belief among a lot of people, especially artists. This paradigm can sabotage one’s success, particularly if living a purposeful life is a high priority. In order to build a successful and passionate business, it’s vital we commit to building a healthy relationship with money. This episode invites us all to challenge this belief, offering alternative ways to marry these concepts in a way that is authentic and fulfilling. Everyone deserves to be passionate about what they do while also being financially compensated for it. We know it’s possible, and we want to help turn these financial dreams into a reality.

In this episode, we highlight some of the key statistics around this topic as we uncover the underlying issues that impact the way we live and work.
