11: Money, Enoughness, and Community Care with Women’s Personal Finance

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.
