#182: Chapter 4 - A Systemic Approach to Understanding Diversity in Financial Counseling

Josh and Emily discuss the fourth chapter of the Financial Counseling textbook, A Systemic Approach to Understanding Diversity in Financial Counseling.

Top takeaways:

• Our systems have a huge impact on us.
• Your race, sexuality, gender, relationship status, background, socio-economic status, abilities/disabilities, religion etc. all have huge impacts.
• We come at things believing that what’s normal to us is normal to everyone.
• Anything that creates a superior-inferior, “I know more than you” dynamic needs to be handled VERY carefully.
