The Money Paradox
🌿 CONVERSATIONS WITH SVEND�Nature • Relating • Conscious S*xuality • Money • Prosperity • Community • Wellbeing
A living podcast, documentary, and community project rooted in Wales and reaching globally.
Conversations With Svend (CWS) explores what it truly means to live well — individually, collectively, ecologically, and economically — in times of profound transition.
Through real, long-form conversations with people doing the work, this channel bridges nature as medicine, social prescribing, relating and intimacy, financial literacy, conscious sexuality, community resilience, and creative storytelling, grounded in lived experience rather than theory.

🌍 WELLBEING, PROSPERITY & FUTURE GENERATIONS
CWS is consciously aligned with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act, integrating its seven national wellbeing goals through lived practice:
🧠 A Healthier Wales�🤝 A More Equal Wales�🌱 A Resilient Wales�💰 A Prosperous Wales�🏘 A Wales of Cohesive Communities�🎭 A Wales of Vibrant Culture & Thriving Welsh Language�🌍 A Globally Responsible Wales
This work is rooted in:�• Prevention — nature-based health, embodiment, early intervention�• Integration — health, culture, economy, ecology�• Involvement — lived experience & neurodivergent voices�• Collaboration — practitioners, filmmakers, academics & communities�• Long-term thinking — documenting what works for systems change
