Love Won't Protect Your Finances | Summer Special

<p><strong>Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series,  shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down.</strong></p><p>In this clip, House of Peregrine founder Mickelle Weber shares the heart of her TEDx talk, the story of a single moment in a minivan that changed everything she thought she knew about fairness, family, and financial safety. What began as unexplained anger became a clear-eyed reckoning with invisible labour: the caregiving and household work that holds a family together but never shows up on a paycheck.</p><p>From a bank telling her she was &quot;better left off the loan&quot; to a napkin sketch of how two partners spend the same 24 hours very differently, Mickelle builds toward a bigger truth — our economy depends on household labour yet refuses to value it. As Nobel laureate Claudia Goldin put it, the world runs on women. It&#39;s a call to have the conversations about money and value <em>before</em> crisis, especially for couples building a life abroad.</p><p>Recorded at TEDxAmsterdamWomen (November 2024).
