The OutSpoken Girlfriend with Naomi Clark"Financial Freedom" Is A Farce (I said what I said)Today on the podcast I am talking about how "financial freedom" is a farce and a terrible money goal to have for yourself. While there may be variations on how one defines "financial freedom" for themselves- it's still quite common for most folks to have "zero debt" as a pre-requisite of "financial freedom." Put another way, this means you can't be financially free if you are paying back debt. And this my friend, is the problem. In fact, it's not just one problem- there are TWO problems with this definition. This is such a problematic concept that I'm dedicating a full ep...

The OutSpoken Girlfriend with Naomi ClarkThe Power of Radical Self AdvocacyToday on the podcast we are talking about the power of practicing radical self-advocacy. I call this radical because for many folks who have marginalized and intersectional identities, the practice of standing up for yourself can be a radical act within a society and culture that does not recognize the humanity and rights of all individuals. Practicing self-advocacy is a form of self-love and of self-care. For women and folks impacted by misogyny and sexism, there is a risk in practicing self-advocacy because we are socialized as girls and women to be likeable, to be pleasant...

The process of cultivating self-trust is a life-long practice. Because of this, it helps to be reminded that doubt is part of the human experience. This can include doubt and uncertainty when it comes to making decisions about money. When it comes to making money decisions, our thoughts and beliefs about money are guiding our actions. Money does not spend itself. Money does not save itself. Money does not invest itself. Money does not earn itself. We are the ones making...
