18 Dec Money Conversations with a Bankruptcy Law Professor
Money Conversations with a Bankruptcy Law Professor
Drawing on 20 years as a law professor focused on finance and debt, this workshop will help participants examine their beliefs and experiences around money. My own decisions about my area of legal practice and research interests were driven by my early financial experiences. Examining these experiences alongside my research interests has led me on a journey of self-discovery that I would like to share.
This workshop draws on my deep expertise in financial law and many years spent unpacking the stories behind people’s financial troubles to offer an approachable guide to re-examining our relationship with money.
This is not a financial literacy workshop, but you will come away with important practical tools and resources. Together we will:
– [ ] Unpack our unconscious beliefs about money.
– [ ] Untangle the mental and emotional burden of student loans and paying them off.
– [ ] Understand our financial trauma.
– [ ] Use a gratitude practice to think about how we spend money.
– [ ] Develop tools to break out of a debt cycle and begins to build wealth.
The workshop will be highly participatory and will offer a safe space to begin to have practical money conversations while recognizing the systemic issues that are often ignored when we talk about financial empowerment.
Money Conversations with a Bankruptcy Law Professor will be shared by Stephanie Ben-Ishai
