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.

In this episode, host Rhiannon Rosalind is joined by her co-founder of Mindfulness & Money, award-winning Financial Planner and the first Financial Therapist in Toronto, Aseel El-Baba. Rhiannon and Aseel discuss the benefits of their latest creation and why financial therapy is a necessary tool to help combat a sick economy. Money trauma is highly correlated to the global atrocities we are constantly experiencing as a humanity. Our individual and collective traumas around money cannot be ignored. Whether our trauma is anchored in debt, chronic financial insecurity, familial or life events, collective trauma or generational trauma, our behaviour is deeply informed by our relationship to this money wound. Healing financial trauma is fundamental to achieving true wellness, for our people, our planet, and our system.Join The Conscious Economics Movement: https://www.consciouseconomics.ca/ Instagram: @consciouseconomics Special Guest: Aseel El-Baba, Founder and CEO, Holistic Optimal Wealth and co-founder, Mindfulness & MoneyInstagram: @aseelbaba Learn more about Mindfulness & Money at: www.consciouseconomics.ca/mindfulness-moneyHosted on Ausha.

Am I serving the Machine or is the Machine serving me? The art of reimagining how we can heal our systems and how we can heal our deepest Self, comes from music. As we navigate our personal and collective traumas, music becomes a vehicle for our deepest pains, and in turn, our greatest growth and expansion. This is how we move the dial. In this cathartic episode, host Rhiannon Rosalind sits with prolific social change musician, Connie Lim, who creates music under the monicker MILCK, to examine how we value ourselves, our systems, and the art that can change it all. ..Join The Conscious Economics Movement https://www.consciouseconomics.ca/ Instagram @consciouseconomics Special Guest Speaker: Connie Lim (MILCK)  // Learn more: https://www.milckmusic.com/ // IG: @milckmusicThank you to our sponsor CPP Investments, who manage a resilient, globally diversified portfolio to help ensure the Canada Pension Plan is there for generations to come.

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.

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...Join The Conscious Economics Movement https://www.consciouseconomics.ca/ Instagram @consciouseconomics Special Guest Speaker: Anna Ruddick // Learn more: https://unisonfund.ca/Thank you to our sponsor CPP Investments, who manage a resilient, globally diversified portfolio to help ensure the Canada Pension Plan is there for generations to come.
