#59 - Agnes Otzelberger on Social Justice, Money Work, and What it Means to Be a Good Person

Agnes is a therapist, trainer, and coach working with change-makers who feel overwhelmed, burned out or stuck to support them in finding their resilience and creative power. Coming from a background in the not-for-profit sector and international development, with a focus on climate change, gender and social inequality, she started the Good Jungle to connect the worlds of beyond-profit organisations and activism with the emerging meeting place between psychology, neuroscience and contemplative practice.

 

As a therapist Agnes works in private practice and organisational settings. She also works with groups and individuals on their relationship to money using Peter Koenig’s powerfully transformative ‘Money Work’, which draws on Jungian ideas on shadow and the unconscious.

 

Born and raised in Vienna, Austria, Agnes now lives in Brighton in the United Kingdom with her family. With roots all over Europe and experience living and working in various parts of the world, Agnes is very interested in intercultural and migratory life experiences and the questions of identity and belonging they bring.

 

Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called the Allsorts Youth Project. Any and all donations make a difference!
