Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement
Power does not always shout; sometimes it withholds. From war zones to welfare offices to prison yards, access to food and essentials becomes a quiet lever that bends behaviour and buys compliance. We connect the dots between historical starvation tactics, modern shutdown brinkmanship, and the everyday pressures of debt, credit, and rising costs that keep so many stuck in survival mode. The pattern is old because it works—meet fewer basic needs independently, and the easier you are to move on a political chessboard.
We do not stop at analysis. I share a grounded blueprint for becoming a harder target, starting with financial sovereignty: reducing and eliminating debt that dictates choices, diversifying income streams with practical skills, and using both local and digital channels to create optionality.
We explore community as a form of resilience—building networks of mutual aid and skill-sharing that operate outside fragile systems. This episode is a call to stop being a pawn and start becoming an architect—of your finances, your community, and your unshakeable, sovereign life.
