In this episode of Women Talking Money, Gretchen Betts chats with Grace Quantock, Psycho Therapeutic Counsellor, Researcher, Writer and Advocate. Grace helps marginalised people to live well with pain, illness and trauma and believes life should be celebrated.
They talk about Grace's recently launched book, Living Well with Chronic Illness, emphasising the significance of a tailored approach to health and well-being.
The conversation also addresses societal pressures to adhere to specific aesthetics and the demand for more realistic and inclusive self-help materials.
Grace opens up about her financial experiences from childhood and highlights the importance of financial planning, particularly for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, they discuss the crucial role of power of attorney documents and the need for maintaining autonomy in healthcare decisions.
In this conversation Grace and Gretchen discuss how:
Living well with chronic illness requires a personalised approach that takes into account individual circumstances and challenges.
Society often promotes an unrealistic and exclusionary aesthetic in self-help resources, which may not be applicable or helpful for marginalised individuals.
Financial planning is crucial for individuals with disabilities, as it provides a sense of security and autonomy.
Power of attorney documents are essential for ensuring that healthcare decisions align with an individual's wishes, especially for those with chronic illnesses or disabilities.
Open and honest conversations about money and healthcare are necessary to address the unique challenges faced by marginalised individuals.
