IN THIS LESSON

Who is gatekeeping your version of wealth?

In this lesson, we develop critical discernment skills in order to understand who is “In Charge” aka “The Chosen” in your life, your work, the worlds you move in, and within the systems you negotiate.

Together we explore topics including, but not limited to:

  • What does it mean to choose something? Who is the arbiter of choice?

  • In your mind, which voice does the choosing? what does it choose? what does it miss?

  • In your career, who does the choosing? what is their basis for choosing? How well is it working for you, or not?

  • In society, who does the choosing? do you agree with what’s chosen? 

  • In each of these scenarios: Who does the choice benefit the most? What would you change about some or all of these ‘choosing’ systems if you could?
