    When Systems Pacify Instead of Pay: A Hard Truth About Disability and Work

    In this episode of The Restoration Exchange: Banking on Humanity, we confront the uncomfortable reality behind a familiar phrase: “You could always volunteer.” For disabled adults, volunteering is too often positioned not as a choice, but as the highest form of opportunity available—while paid work, fair wages, and economic agency remain out of reach. Building on the previous episode, “The Money Connection Nobody Addresses,” host Janine Kasper connects unpaid labor to broader financial exclusion, exposing how systems keep people busy but broke, included but uncompensated. This conversation challenges employers, nonprofits, workforce programs, financial institutions, and policymakers to stop confusing access with equity—and to finally acknowledge that dignity begins with being paid for the value you bring.

    The Past, Present and Future of YOUR Money Story

    In this episode of PLUGGING THE LEAKS™ BECAUSE BROKE IS BORING™, we dive deep into the money story you've been living — and how to rewrite it. Here's the truth: The beliefs you have about money today didn't start with you. You inherited them. Before you had your first paycheck, before you understood what a bill was, someone taught you what money means through stress, silence, or survival. But your money story is not your identity. It's just a script you've been reading. And in this episode, we're rewriting it together.
