  Moving Money Like a Matriarch with Isha Vela

  Sep 30, 20261h 4mS1

  In today’s episode, I am joined by Isha Vela to talk about what it means to move money matriarchally and how we rebalance the ecosystem of money and wealth. Isha Vela is a somatic psychologist, financial strategist, matriarchal wealth activist and founder of the Wealth Ecology Institute, where she teaches women to steward money in service of land, lineage, and legacy. We dive deep into what it means to heal intergenerational narratives around money and ancestral scarcity. We call in the idea of money stewardship and the matriarchal responsibility this brings. Isha shares her approach on this work: sustainability over extraction, capacity over speed, circulation over hoarding and enoughness over endless expansion. We explore what this could mean within the classic system of philanthropy , and how a matriarchal approach decentralises this idea of power and centres life, instead. And when we center life, we may approach money - and other resources - like water: it all gets to nourish the ecosystem, as long as it can flow. In that light, Isha brings in the concept of saving circles, and how alive they are and can feel. We also talk openly about building community trust in this context and normalising friction and repair in relationships - especially when money is the culprit. This conversation captures what money and wealth could also be, and become, outside of the existing structures, systems and power dynamics. It celebrates matriarchal energy and will empower you to call this in for yourself and the resources you have available to you.

  The work before buying the farm

  Sep 17, 202623 minS1

  This episode builds on the previous one in which I open up about my cosmic assignment, and the stories around money and community I held, worked through and continue to journey through. In this episode, I take into account the work that came before that calling of the cosmos: the life I had and the work I did before we bought the farm and build a life here in the Hudson Valley, NY. I talk about how I learned to slow down the timeline of my cosmic assignment, what I had to unlearn and what I was bypassing. I unraveled myself from a system that was not build for my thriving with the help of ancestral healing work and other modalities, and I also talk about how my partner had to do the same in his own way, on his own timeline, and how we integrated that together. I discuss how the four pillars of my book Root & Ritual were (and continue to be) present in my life. I also explore the idea of composting what was no longer serving my life to make way for what’s coming, and to root into the long term vision of my calling.

  Radical Hope for Climate-Anxious Parents with Caitlyn Wallace

  Aug 27, 202654 minS1

  Belonging is now Seed Capital - a show for resourced women who are ready to move away from accumulation and extraction, and toward regeneration and legacy. Every new world starts as a seed someone was willing to plant and steward into being. Seed Capital is a show for resourced women at a crossroads, done with extraction, unsure what replaces it. Each week: stewardship, vision, and the real work of deploying wealth to birth a new paradigm. For the woman who wants to be a good ancestor, starting now. Same host, same vibes, new name. Now onto to today’s episode: How do you navigate being a parent (or wanting to become one) in a world that is grappling with climate change? In today’s episode, I am joined by Caitlyn Wallace, LCSW, PMH-C, and a licensed clinical social worker, educator, and supervisor based in Reno, Nevada. She is the founder of Desert Bloom Wellness NV and her current work intersects trauma-informed perinatal mental health support with climate grief and navigating parenthood in our current social, political and natural climate. Our conversation lands at these intersections, and explores what it means to raise and nurture the future generations in a collapsing world - and how to stay hopeful amidst it, too. Tune in to hear more from us on: The intensity of recent nature’s events and navigating this type of trauma during the perinatal period Deciding to have a baby in a collapsing world Acceptance and commitment therapy How (new) parents are being targeted and guilt-tripped in this capitalist structure Unrecognized grief and guilt in becoming a parent in these times Taking grounded, hopeful action that aligns with your values, such as setting up climate cafes and finding community Resources + Links Caitlyn Wallace’s website Carmen Spagnola’s GoFundMe for the loss of her farm in a wildfire Books & other reads mentioned: Goliath’s Curse by Luke Kemp I Eat The Stars by Sarah Wilson (& her Ted Talk on Collapse ) Sophie Strand’s Substack essay ‘Collapsollogy Reading List’ Climate Psychology Alliance & the Climate Cafe resources Joanna Macy’s work Subscribe to my newsletter My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self Connect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelli Timestamps [0:00] Introduction [14:51] The Intersection of Perinatal and Climate Mental Health [22:25] Building Capacity to Feel Guilt and Other Emotions as a Parent around Climate Change [29:46] The Power of the Web of Community [33:17] Co-Opting Climate Guilt for New Parents [39:48] Having Hope amidst the Climate Crisis and the Collapse Apocalypse [43:18] Radical Mothering and the Ability to Look a Few Generations Ahead

  We Were Not Unlucky. We Were Being Prepared with Sarah Davidson

  Mar 30, 202656 minS2

  <p>What does it mean to be a millennial right now - at this exact moment of institutional collapse, climate crisis, and collective upheaval? In this conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and neighbor Sarah Davidson for a wide-ranging talk about generational identity, community resilience, and why millennials might be more prepared for this moment than we think. Drawing on generational theory, Sarah reframes the millennial story: rather than a generation defined by what was taken from us, we are the "hero generation" - the same archetypal cohort as the Greatest Generation - born into crisis and uniquely...
