  The Psychology of Wealth Accumulation 20.03.2026 40мин

  What is the emotional world beneath the rich - those who inherit or accumulate large amounts of wealth? How is the impulse behind 'the goalpost never stops moving' connected to psychological security? Who benefits from the rich getting richer?Speaking with people who work closely with the ultra-wealthy, we examine how the systems surrounding the rich enforce dynamics of wealth accumulation. We ask what common stories and experiences sustain these structures, whose interests they serve, and what might become possible if wealth were aligned with values of real social impact - for the many and not the few.Featuring:Iris Brilliant - Anticapitalist / Wealth ‘Enoughness’ money coach for wealthy people, former National Organizer at Resource GenerationJake Hayman - Author of “Wealth Unpublished”, worked as a trusted advisor to values-led wealth holders for almost 20 years, Founder/co-founder of What The Future Holds, Ten Years' Time, Good Ancestor Movement, Progressive Advisor Movement etcMoney Trauma is a partner of The Post Growth Institute.

  The Myth of Laziness 13.03.2026 39мин

  Laziness - it’s something we’ve all heard, or said before. It’s is one of those heavily thrown around terms, that could be said with in loving banter, or be heavy with projected accusation. But what does it actually mean? Going around the world, we’ll explore tropes of how laziness is portrayed, and how it was created to serve colonial capitalism. In the contemporary, we explore its ongoing weaponization against the most vulnerable in society. Does it even exist? What does it have to do with our biology - and how we respond to stress? If it isn’t laziness, what is it? And how do we move out of it - personally and collectively?Featuring:Jonathan Yong Tienxhi - PhD Candidate in Sociology at the University of Cambridge, research focus on race and ethnicity in Southeast Asia and decolonial theoryTanya Master - IFS-Informed Somatic Coach & Integrative Psychosomatic PractitionerFelipe Mercado - Author of "A Journey to Compassion: Learning to Stand Firm in the Face of Pain”, Assistant professor of Social Work at California State University, Fresno, and founder/CEO of Wise Souls⁠⁠Money Trauma⁠⁠ is a partner of The Post Growth Institute.
