The Wealth Wound in Little Women

  • Resumen

  • This season focuses on the 2019 film “Little Women” Wouldn’t Sally have a more intimate friendship with Meg if she were better attuned to the gap in their economic realities? If Laurie weren’t so worried about pleasing his rich grandfather would he feel free to pursue his creativity? How did forming attachment with Beth provide the catalyst for Mr Lawrence to move from a place of “charity” to “reciprocity”? In what ways does Aunt March’s scarcity mindset and hoarding tendencies keep her from being able to live her life in alignment with her values? Kristyn with a Why dives deep into the “wealth wound” in this episode- extending compassion to four people to whom capitalism has severed from earning secure attachment: with their friends, family, community, and themselves. **We will never pretend that people in up-power positions in systems of domination and oppression are harmed in equal or greater ways than those in down-power positions within those systems. And yet, in order to be ignorant of your power and complacent within these systems- one must be severed from their sense of shared humanity, and this is a wound that needs tending (but never at the expense of folks in down-power positions).** (See time stamps and links to the scenes mentioned in the podcast below.) 0-6:26: Content Warning 6:26-10:44: Land Acknowledgment, Locating my positionality in the story of Little Women 10:45-13:00: Introduction to “the wealth wound” 13:00-17:24: Sally 17:24-23:28: Laurie 23:30-28:14: Mr. Laurence 28:14-39:50: Aunt March 39:50- 46:35: Unpacking my personal positionality in this story 46:35- 49:00: Striving for the Marmee life: divesting by increasing community 49:00-end: Outro/Gratitude Scene Links—------------------------ Sally at the dress shop Mr Laurence and Beth Aunt march and Amy Marmee: Breakfast to Hummels —--------------------------------------------- Grateful for all the learning and inspiration alluded to in today’s episode: Land Acknowledgement *Resmaa Menakem’s book “My Grandmother’s Hands” is a great resource at looking into how systems of domination impact bodies differently depending on their power in that system- specifically racialized trauma* Dra Rocio Rosales Mesa- for more compassionate holding towards unlearning and healing from colonial programming.
