Money-Wise Woman – Crystal Arnold [Story Connective podcast]

Hey permies,

Crystal Arnold helps others define financial success in their own terms & cultivate true wealth. She is the founder of Money-Morphosis, the director of education at the Post Growth Institute, & is a permaculturist, money-wise woman & mother. Isn’t it odd that as important as money is in shaping our lives & the rules Western society, most people have a hard time talking about it? This has to do with our stories around money. In this interview Crystal talks about how she defines wealth, the ways in which our monetary system affects our world, local economies, not–for–profits, the role of women in shifting our economic story & more. Crystal inspires us to look at economy in new & resilient ways. We hope you find this interview inspiring too.
