S2 E22 Somatics of Money, Budget Culture, and Inclusion in Finance with Dana Miranda, Creator of Healthy Rich

Hello My Lovelies,

This is a conversation about personal finance and the somatics of money. I know you'll appreciate the insights of my guest, and I am taking away quite a lot from our conversation. 

Dana Miranda is a Certified Educator in Personal Finance® (CEPF®), an author and a personal finance journalist. She’s the founder of Healthy Rich, a platform for inclusive, budget-free financial education, where she works with organizations, schools and companies dedicated to making money better for folks who are often left out of the conversation about money.

Dana has written about work and money for Forbes, Insider, Culture Study, the New York Times, CNBC, The Motley Fool, NextAdvisor, USA Today and Inc. magazine, among others.

In our conversation we talk about "budget culture" as a parallel to "diet culture" in that it encourages at attitude of restriction rather than of enjoyment regarding money. We talk about the shaming that happens around unemployment and debt, and ways we can think differently about money. 

I love her focus on inclusion of many different voices when it comes to money. I hope you gain additional insights about your own relationship to money, and the somatic impact of the way we think about and talk about money. 

The Make Money Better podcast is published through Dana's Healthy Rich platform, which I highly recommend for a more diverse group of voices about the topic of money and personal finance.
