What’s Your Money Archetype? Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Your “money archetype” shapes the way you perceive, interact, spend, and even save money. Connecting with the financial aspects of life in this way means more than knowing your bank account balance or what you owe on your credit card—but that’s part of it.

In this episode, we engage in a captivating conversation with psychotherapist Lia Avellino, LCSW, to explore the complexity of talking about money at home, at work, and with friends. We discuss how emotions drive financial choices and investigate how early experiences with money carve a financial path for the future, all while acknowledging the influences of gender, race, and class.

HOST: Taylor Camille, Director of Podcasts at Well+Good

GUESTS: Lisa Avellino, LCSW + Co-Founder of Spoke

Negotiating Past Equal Pay Day Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

A lack of pay transparency persists across many industries, which makes navigating a path toward equal pay all the more complex. Equal Pay Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for advocacy and change that encourages financial security for all workers. Creating a just and equitable future requires collective action with the commitment of individuals, organizations, and governments.

But what, exactly, are our individual and collective responsibilities to help reach a solution? And how are they connected? This week’s guest, Farnoosh Torabi, personal finance expert, New York Times best-selling author, and host of the So Money podcast, has some thoughts.

It’s Not Creepy To Talk About Money Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

Each person has their own personal status quo, but sometimes, the prospect of upgrading to a more upscale lifestyle can be tempting. Hey, shiny things are fun—and it feels like the messaging on all our screens and platforms holds that if we’re just willing to spend more money, a better life awaits. But, whether those upgrades mean renting a higher-end apartment, springing for a luxury car, booking a lavish vacation, or anything else, this kind of “lifestyle creep” can also bring long-term financial consequences.

How can we avoid the potential negative implications of the overspending associated with lifestyle creep? We’ve got tips to help you protect yourself.

HOST: Ella Dove, Sr. Director of Creative Development at Well+Good

GUEST(S): Financial Literacy Advocate, Vivian Tu, provides actionable tips and strategies to help you break free from the lifestyle creep trap and secure your future, both financially and personally.

My Own Valentine Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Valentine’s Day has always been about lovers (and in some circles, it’s about friends, too). But what if you’re your own Valentine this year? Or what if you’ve been your own Valentine for years?

Plenty of folks choose to be single. For others, a prolonged lack of romantic connection isn't done on purpose. Self-identified “late bloomers”—people who have not had sex or have not been in a relationship by the time they reach their 30s, 40s, and beyond—are finding a place to connect online.

In this episode, we’re talking with Becky, Megan, and Tiffany, members of a “late bloomer” group on Facebook who find themselves at different stages of life. Each of them is single—and not quite by choice. We’re exploring what it means to find romance later in life (or not) and how to deepen your connection with yourself.

HOST: Taylor Camille, Director of Podcasts at Well+Good

GUESTS: Becky, Megan & Tiffany

Black Well-Being Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

The statistics showcasing systematic health inequities experienced by Black Americans do not even begin to tell the whole story. And if we act as if they do, it's easier to erase the humanity of each individual situation and harder to experience the joy in learning about people working to change the trajectory of our collective well-being.

On today’s episode, Bea Dixon, the visionary founder behind plant-derived feminine care brand The Honey Pot, explains how we can reclaim our wellness by calling out the shifts necessary to help more people gain access to feeling good.
