About this listen

Have you ever wondered if saving money and saving the planet are mutually exclusive? In this episode of Money Feels, we’re joined by author and sustainability advocate Kara Perez to talk about her new book, Money for Change, and the concept of realistic sustainability — AKA how to reduce waste, build wealth, and not burn out in the process.

We're your hosts, Alyssa and Bridget. Welcome to the podcast, where we talk through our money trauma and gain a better understanding of building a healthy relationship with finance, even when it intersects with climate anxiety and ethical investing.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

  • Why sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive, perfect, or all-consuming
  • How overconsumption became the norm (and what we can do instead)
  • Why “real change” means going beyond personal habits
  • The link between eco-anxiety and financial stress
  • How to align your money with your values
  • What realistic sustainability looks like in everyday life

Thanks for listening to our first episode of a new season! If you want bonus episodes and more, you can join our Patreon! Until then, follow us on Instagram @mixedupmoney, @bridgiecasey and @moneyfeelspodcast, and we’ll see you next time!
