If like me you think about capitalism and roll your eyes, or you’ve placed conversations around capitalism in the too hard basket or you think it’s a bit beyond you, then this episode is for you.

Stephanie has a beautiful way of breaking down what capitalism is, how it impacts us and how it shows up in our day to day lives. She provides thought provoking concepts, questions, and insights.

Stephanie is a bridge making this work around anti-capitalism more accessible, and leading the way in which we can be more present and aware of how capitalism presents itself and how while living within a capitalist system we can question it and get curious about it for ourselves.

Stephanie and I met while studying to become Life Coaches through the Beautiful You Life Coaching Academy in 2020, and while we’ve never met each other in person, being in space together for this episode was an absolute delight.

I came away from our conversation feeling inspired, optimistic, hopeful, more informed, educated and armed with practical, tangible, yet super simple actions to implement.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this conversation we dive into:

• Filling your cup as a starting point for connection and joy;

• Understanding capitalism and its day-to-day impact;

• Redefining success;

• Radical imagination;

• Social media and capitalism;

• Creating space for reflection and connection;

• Ways in which we can start opting out of capitalism

And do much more!

Stephanie Mackinnon is an internationally award nominated Certified Life and Liberatory Leadership Coach with a Masters in Adult Education and over 10 years of community facilitation experience.

Stephanie supports both changemakers to unravel from the oppressive impacts of late stage capitalism to reclaim their joy and personal freedom, and business owners to identify and implement practical actions they can take to resist capitalism and make their business more accessible and socially just. Stephanie’s work consistently invites curiosity, care and compassion for her own and others humanness, and the notion that imperfect action - aligned with our values - is crucial to creating the change we long to see in ourselves and the world around us.

Originally from Atlantic Canada, she now calls the West of Ireland home, and outside of her work, you will often find Stephanie by the ocean that links her two homes. Whether taking a cold dip, going for a beach walk or surfing; she finds being by the sea both deeply grounding and expansive, all at the same time.
