Something Different This Way Comes
How do you plan when you’re longing for change? In Something Different This Way Comes, Certified Financial Planner and Locavore Heather McLeod explores two systems she wants to help fix: our food systems from fields to bellies, and our financial systems from birth to death. They are the earth and sky of what we need to change. We are Ancestors - and we can do better. Rooted in first-hand experience, nourished with nerdy fact-finding, Something Different This Way Comes shines a light towards values-led food and financial systems.
