Lydia sits down with Kara, owner of financial education company BravelyGo. Kara is a speaker, blogger and financial feminist (which she defines for us during this episode) whose focus is sustainable investing.

Kara and Lydia talk about the sizeable wealth and pay gap and Kara's story of struggling to find a job in a recession while trying to payoff student loans and working multiple jobs. We deliberate on capitalism and why our systems must change if we want true financial equality.

Also discussed:

-The downsides of avoiding investing and how investing is necessary in our current systems

-Ways to invest more consciously for your future to beat inflation

-The downsides of our healthcare system

-How none of us are actually avoiding "the system" and why it's not possible

-Why most people underestimate how much money they need as they age and where that money will come from either now or later

-Financial greenwashing and sustainable investing

-Financial equity- who even has the ability to invest right now for their future and how can we change this through policy?

-Her opinion on the FIRE movement- "financial independence retire early"

-Viewing the world from an environmentalist lens

-The overconsumption fueling our broken systems
