Money choices are climate action too.
This week, Regina Moore and Angela Rozmyn from Women’s Personal Finance join me for a thoughtful, honest conversation about the overlap between money, sustainability, and community care.
We talk about spending in alignment with your values, why “enoughness” can be such a powerful mindset shift, and how boycotts and intentional choices can be forms of protest. We also explore the role community plays — not just in sharing resources, but in building resilience and pushing back on the systems that encourage overconsumption.
It’s a conversation that invites you to look at your own financial choices through a new lens and see how small, intentional shifts can add up to something bigger.
Takeaways
- The concept of “enoughness” and how it reduces overconsumption.
- Why value‑aligned spending matters and how to start thinking differently about your purchases.
- How money is tied to values, systems, and power.
- How boycotts and not spending can be powerful forms of protest.
- The role of community care and sharing in financial and climate resilience.
One Small Shift
- Regina: Go through your fridge and pantry each week, repurpose what you have, and reduce food waste.
- Angela: Have a real conversation with a neighbour — get to know them, exchange contact info, and start building that local network of care.
