Have you ever felt like your health was an afterthought amidst life’s hustle and bustle? In this reflective and inspirational episode, I share my personal journey of awakening to the profound value of health. Observing those with unique challenges made me realize that money, things, and resources only go so far. Our health is incredibly precious and should never be taken for granted.

We cover four essential habits that can truly enhance your well-being: regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and effective stress management. These daily practices not only improve physical health but also boost mental and emotional well-being, offering a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Join me as I recount a poignant moment witnessing a young mother in a wheelchair, which underscored the importance of gratitude and nurturing good health habits. From personal anecdotes to universally applicable principles, this episode is a gentle reminder to cherish and actively maintain our health. Remember, your health is a treasure. Take the time to evaluate and integrate these habits into your life.

When one hears the term media tools there is an instantaneous association with technology and that can bring its own slew of fears and hesitancy. However, many media tools are created to make our lives easier, especially as entrepreneurs or a small business. Many tools, especially with the advancement of AI and virtual systems, help us save time and energy, especially with rote tasks. Media tools can range from a broad range of software, platforms and technology designed to create, distribute, analyze and manage various forms of media content.

In this podcast I will cover some of my favorite media tools for the 21st century as well as some principles for their use and setting up the groundwork for creating systems that work. I usually keep a fairly current list of favorite tools I use on my resource page but do systematically study and implement some of the new tools available. I also cover some of the basic systems I use in my course, A New Way of Doing Business. The tools may change somewhat but the systems are the same. There is no way to cover all that is available in one episode but covering the basics will create a solid foundation for growth.

Have you ever felt like there’s more to wealth than just money? In this insightful episode, my husband Greg and I delve into the concept of "invisible wealth," exploring assets that aren’t immediately tangible but hold immense value

"Invisible wealth" refers to assets or resources that are not immediately apparent or tangible but hold significant value to individuals or societies. While financial wealth is often the most visible form of prosperity, there are several other areas of invisible wealth that are equally important but may go unnoticed. If we only measure dollars, other areas are sacrificed. Greg, my husband, and I focus on some of those areas and how some of them impact our lives.

From cultural assets and social capital to human capital and health, we discuss how these unseen riches can profoundly impact our lives. As a financial adviser, Greg has seen both ends of the wealth spectrum and shares his wisdom on achieving a balanced life. We touch on the importance of family, the joy of environmental assets like nature, the power of social connections, and the value of lifelong learning. Our goal is to inspire you to measure happiness beyond financial success and to recognize the wealth you have in various life dimensions.

Recognizing and valuing these forms of invisible wealth is essential for promoting holistic development and sustainable prosperity. While financial wealth is important, it is only one aspect of overall well-being. Investing in social relationships, education, health, environmental conservation, and personal fulfillment enriches lives and strengthens communities in ways that extend beyond monetary measures.
