Meet Snickers! Just one reason I'm taking time for Meet Snickers! Just one reason I'm taking time for myself this Fall and turning down my posting and 1:1 #coaching availability for awhile. I LOVE working with folks individually, but I'm feeling a need for more time and #spaciousness and to do some other things...like bond with and train this beastie. I'm no model for the spacious work week approach ... The #pandemic has taught me a lot about my overwork tendencies and my learning path is to not to fall into it. To be more present. Four dog walks a day helps, but so does actively choosing to #doless. So for now, private coaching is only available for people in financial transitions who want to work together in an ongoing way. Instead, I'm going to be doing a once a month group coaching format that I think will be an awesome method--both for y'all who join to get focused on getting one important #money thing totally done, and for my approach to time sustainability. I'm piloting sessions in November and January. Meanwhile, I'm taking lots of my evenings back to hang out with this little guy, rest and restore, research @bottomlinestopdollars #podcast, participate in #democracy, and be with the veil while it's thin and with this weird year as it ends 😘😘 #feministbusiness #queerbusiness #rescuedogsofinstagram #slowdown #vote

Nobody: Me: Here’s a chart of how people experi Nobody: Me: Here’s a chart of how people experience finances to show us why personal finance feels like complicated math, how it fits into larger systems, and which parts are invisible or implicit. *** As part of my 5-year reflection on running #ridefree #fearlessmoney, I've gone back and looked for patterns from the 500+ of you who've met with me to talk about your money. It's so often that the systems themselves are invisible and make things feel confusing... And then of course, there's #feelings. So many feelings, because money isn't just a #resource - it's a tool we use to #survive, exchange, and try to help ourselves in the #communities we care about #thrive. #personalfinanceispolitical #systemsthinking #implicitbias #economicsmadevisible #equations
New episode!! Universal Basic Income (#UBI) has a New episode!! Universal Basic Income (#UBI) has a reputation as a fringe idea that would be impossible to implement in the real world. But when the pandemic shutdown sent the global economy into freefall, both Canada and the U.S. stepped in with direct payments to their citizens that came very close to a national UBI model. Was this the unintentional experiment that proved the viability of the theory? After six months of economic upheaval and staring down the barrel of potentially worse to come, UBI is being discussed by #economists, #activists, #academics, and (finally!) #politicians from both sides of the spectrum. When both the left and the right are arguing for the same solution but for different reasons, that’s a topic that the Ladies Who Crunch need to discuss! In this episode of Bottom Lines Top Dollars find out what UBI is and the major arguments for and against it and discover that sometimes the line between capitalism and #anticapitalism can be blurry as hell.
For Ride Free’s five year anniversary this month For Ride Free’s five year anniversary this month (!) I’m taking you inside my financial story over the last five years: income, spending, and savings/investing. What was different then vs now, what have I learned, and what made the biggest difference? #RideFreeFearlessMoney #5yearAnniversary #RoadMapping #FutureHopeful #Choice #Tools #LoveMyJob
We're live!! I just launched a #podcast about all We're live!! I just launched a #podcast about all the money things you suspect may be ruining your life with my CPA friend Laura MacDonald. We're both no-bullshit queer organizer femmes who decided to work un finance *because* money is wack - and we go into how it works, history, and things you can do. The first episode is about #housing in the #pandemic, and future episodes will be about #UBI, #billionaires, #mutualaid, #punks and money, and more!

"I deeply appreciate the depth of presence and lived experience you bring to this work." -- L., coach

“Taking this “money management” class is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Do yrself a favor and sign up!!!!” -- M., Live ACK Class, Jan 2016

"I paid off my biggest credit card last week. I still can't believe it. Your class kicked it into high gear for me. The shift was totally in the idea of taking myself more seriously and believing that there will be a future me. Huge shift." -- K., freelance designer

“I learned more than I knew I needed to know about money in Damien’s class and I don’t regret it!” -- RYAN B., bike mechanic

“Just wanted to express gratitude for all your money teachings and tips! My sweetie and I are using it together and it’s helped us talk about money and planning with less shame and guilt.” -- ANONYMOUS, online

“I never wanted to take a course on financial planning because I had always assumed it would be over my head or speak to values that didn’t resonate with me. But this class was designed for people like me! Damien shares my values of social justice, and helped me to figure out fair, ethical ways to relate to money.” -- DARA B, education consultant, dareconsulting.com

“As a chronically ill femme of color artist living the freelance life, money is often a source of fear and uncertainty for me. I took Damien’s class and was blown away by her clarity and sensitivity. How amazing to learn about money with someone who is so anchored in social justice! She created a warm, inclusive environment; was on-point about intersectionality, and shared incredibly useful tools and tips. I never thought that discussing money could be so fun, and I left the class feeling a new sense of hope and possibility.” -- ANONYMOUS, Freelance artist

“I feel more calm about money after this. I’m shocked. I realized that I don’t have to use the same symbols and judgements that everyone else seems to use when they talk about this stuff. That’s really powerful.” - BEVIN B., blogger & lawyer queerfatfemme.com
