Breaking Money Myths with Pockets Change | Growing Money with Sean Trace

In this episode of Growing Money with Sean Trace, I sit down with Dyalekt and Andrea Ferrero-Hagerty, the amazing co-founders of Pockets Change, to dive into their innovative approach to financial literacy using hip hop pedagogy. We explore how to break the shame around money, teach financial literacy to kids, and empower families to take control of their financial futures.

Andrea shares her journey as a teacher and how it inspired her to create new ways to teach money concepts. Meanwhile, Dyalekt shows how the principles of hip hop can completely change the way we talk about wealth and equity. I also open up about my own experiences teaching my daughter about money and the power of community-focused financial strategies.

Here’s what we dig into:

• How to start meaningful money conversations with kids.
• Why shame is the biggest barrier to financial growth.
• The importance of cultural context in understanding money.
• Practical tools like discovering your “money personality” and budgeting for joy.
