Description

This is our final episode of Season 2 and our final journey through this season's theme of punk storytelling as a mechanism for understanding our own relationships with money. And in this episode, The Ladies Who Crunch give our dear listeners an end-of-season parting gift: A guide to building a strategy to change your life! From the lofty process of visioning all the way back down to earth-bound planning tools, this episode's goal is an old school DIY workshop for giving yourself a future after the punk paradigm of "no future" stops working for you. 
Using our own experiences as punks who had "oh fuck" moments that motivated us to change our careers pretty drastically as examples, this episode is full of our hard-won wisdom about making big changes in their life. In this episode we talk deep tactics, including: 

Confronting our own belief systems that may no longer be working for us so that we can make space for change
Exercises and prompts to help you figure out what you do want or where to go from here, even if the only thing you know right now is what you don't want and/or that you need to get the hell out of wherever it is that you are. 
How to take your (potentially boundless or messy) vision and use some of your DIY punk skills + research to frame it within reasonable boundaries and find that first foothold that will set you on your journey
Discussion of how change can be have many faces, some that feel like growth and liberation and others that feel like letting go or saying goodbye
Tips on what NOT to do when trying to make big changes so that you don't end up more fucked then before you even started this journey


PLUS A BONUS! At the end of this episode we give you a preview of some of the episode topics that will appear in SEASON 3 (planned for fall 2021).

This episode is part of our second season. We are calling this season "Punks Not Dead and Capitalism Still Sucks" and it explores the question: how did 90s and 2000’s punk intersect with money, and what can that teach us today? What if you don’t “Live fast die young,” but have to meet needs over the course of your longer-than-expected life instead?
Listeners will hear stories -- from “the punkest way I ever made money,” to “the worst minimum wage job I ever had,” to “magic bullshit I did to try to avoid working” -- as well as learn facts about how the financial systems around us operate.
The show is written and produced by the Ladies Who Crunch: Queer femme artist/organizers turned financial professionals Laura and Hadassah, who explore the alternative ways of being that crafted the bedrock of who they are today to understand what they learned - and had to unlearn - from punk in order to figure out their money lives and to understand financial systems.
