Viewing the World Through an Environmentalist and Financial Feminist Lens

Lydia sits down with Kara, owner of financial education company BravelyGo. Kara is a speaker, blogger and financial feminist (which she defines for us during this episode) whose focus is sustainable investing.Kara and Lydia talk about the sizeable wealth and pay gap and Kara's story of struggling to find a job in a recession while trying to payoff student loans and working multiple jobs. We deliberate on capitalism and why our systems must change if we want true financial equality.

We also discuss the downsides of avoiding investing and how investing is necessary in our current systems regardless of our personal opinion on investing. .We explore ways to invest more consciously for your future to beat inflation and briefly deliberate about the downsides of our healthcare system. We share why most people underestimate how much money they need as they age and where that money will come from either now or later and define financial greenwashing and sustainable investing.

Kara shares her opinions on how we can change our systems through policy, her opinions on the FIRE movement and the overconsumption fueling our broken financial systems. Don’t miss this jam-packed episode!
