The Money Witch: Healing Ancestral Financial Wounds Through Sacred Activism and Revolutionary Love (Ep. 30)

In this transformative episode of the Pachamama School Podcast: Sacred Wisdom to Birth the New Earth, host Xochitl Kusikuy Ashe welcomes Jessie Susannah Karnatz, AKA The Money Witch, for a profound conversation about healing our relationship with money through spiritual practice and social justice awareness. Against the backdrop of recent global upheavals—from the LA fires to political transitions—this timely discussion explores how to create a future-proof earth by reclaiming our power around finances and resources.

The Money Witch shares her remarkable journey from the sex industry to becoming a financial educator and priestess, including her experience buying and running a unionized worker cooperative. Together, they explore the intersection of capitalism, colonialism, and spiritual practice, offering practical wisdom for healers, creatives, and change-makers who want to thrive financially while staying aligned with their values.

This conversation addresses the urgent need to heal ancestral money wounds, break free from colonial financial programming, and step into our role as resourced stewards of change. They discuss the six portals of financial healing, debunk harmful myths about worth and net worth, and provide a roadmap for building financial literacy as a form of spiritual practice and revolutionary act.
