In this episode, we are joined by Christina Blacken, public speaker, performer, and founder of The New Quo. The New Quo is a leadership development and equity consultancy, helping leaders create equitable practices, habits, and goals through their narrative intelligence. Christina shares her own personal story and how understanding the psychological impact of historical, cultural, and personal narratives on beliefs, bias, and behaviors has helped her improve her bias recognition and create more inclusive and equitable communication, goal setting, decision making, and relationship building skills.

We discuss how to identify and challenge the social and cultural narratives that shape our beliefs about money, and how to use narrative intelligence to shift our financial narratives and create goals that are aligned with our values and equitable for all.
