The Swan Effect - Creating and Sustaining Your Financial Wellbeing

Money makes the world go round, and if this is true, do you struggle to understand the complex workings of finance, money and investments? Join us, Host Arthi Rabikrisson and co-host on Season 2 Malika Petersen, both women in finance, as we delve into simplifying the complexities that come with managing your finances and investments. The theory of Black Swan Events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. The opposite of that are White Swan Events which are characterized as being more certain. Because life can be uncertain, there are Grey Swan areas and The Swan Effect is a monthly podcast that dives into some of those grey areas to empower persons in all walks of life to make better money decisions, and ultimately improve their relationship with money. A tribute and thank you to the late co-creator and co-host on Season 1 of the Swan effect podcast, Lucille Sikosana: you set the benchmark high, and we are proud to continue to elevate the important message on financial wellness and financial literacy globally. Your tenacity and optimistic attitude will always be the wind beneath our wings.

S2 E1 Unleashing your Financial Superpowers!

August 02, 2022 • Arthi Rabikrisson and Malika Petersen • Season 2 • Episode 1

We Are Back on Air!

After a hiatus of 8 months, The Swan Effect Podcast is launching Season 2 with host Arthi Rabikrisson and co-host Malika Petersen!

As August is Woman's month in South Africa, this episode spotlights that we women have the ability to unleash our financial superpowers, given inherent strengths and capabilities. Many of these are actually shaped by our narratives or stories of how money was managed around us. Arthi shares her narrative around her mum being key to controlling the disbursement of money in the household even though her dad was the sole income earner. This has shaped how hands on Arthi is with her money management. Malika shared an opposite narrative of a friend who's father controlled every financial decision in the household, resulting in her friend not wanting to take control of her own finances today. And yet, within both those narratives, lie very key traits that actually can be those financial superpowers that lead us on the path to financial wellbeing.

Listen in to the discussion where we share:

Superpower 1: Know your Money Pot
Superpower 2: Monetise your passions
Superpower 3: the P-T-P (plan-track-plan some more!)
Superpower 4: Spending Leash

We also offer some practical advice and ideas on how to move ahead with using these superpowers, through budgeting, will and commitment to the plan, and of course, over time, resulting in this augmenting the narrative we each have with our personal finances and investments.

We would love to hear your views based on the concepts covered in this episode.
