Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of Natives on a Budget podcast. Hosted by Shawn Spruce (Laguna Pueblo) and Monica Braine (Assiniboine/Lakota). If you want to make 2020 the year you get your finances in order this podcast is for you.
We’re not gonna sugar coat it for you, managing money is not easy. There’s math involved, but also a whole crab bucket full of emotions, history and external forces that come with how we relate to money. And for Native folks, we’ve got the added bonus of land theft, colonization and historical trauma. But don’t let that get you down. We believe that anyone can get control of their money and live their best life.
In this episode you’ll hear more about the hosts, what we have planned for the coming year and why you should consider making money management your goal this year.
We’ll bring you episodes the first of every month, along with a few extras along the way. Sign up for our newsletter to get the latest updates and money management tips.
In this episode you’ll hear from Edgar Villanueva (Lumbee) author of Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance. Also in the intro, Arlo Iron Cloud (Oglala Lakota) from KILI Radio, talks about what he shares with his kids about money. And Andi Murphy (Navajo) overlord at the Toasted Sister Podcast confesses her struggle to figure out what to spend money on besides food! Music by Torin Jacobs and Reach The Top by Shane Ivers – Enjoy!
