Written by Mia Taylor— a former guest of the Holistic Wealth podcast herself—this story chronicles Joy's incredible adventures and a lifetime of overcoming challenges.  Living Through World War II The turbulence of World War II marked Joy Fox's childhood. Growing up in England, Joy and her family endured constant bombings under Hitler's regime. They were forced to move from house to house to evade danger, often living in one bedroom in fear and uncertainty, these formative years instilled in her a profound sense of resilience. Resources were scarce, and survival was paramount, leaving an indelible mark on how she perceived financial security.

In this episode, Joy also discussed how she took an early retirement from the Ontario Public Service and started her own business. Joy created CansPEP, the Canadian Society of Professional Event Planners out of a need to gather independent planning professionals as a strong group of entrepreneurs.

At just 20 years old, she took the proceeds and embarked on her first trip, traveling from her small village in Wivenhoe, England, to Italy. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for exploration, one that has taken her to countless destinations across the globe. Today, Joy's adventurous spirit remains undeterred. Her solo travels and unrelenting curiosity earned her the prestigious JourneyWoman Evelyn Hannon Award for Solo Travel, celebrating her as a trailblazer for women over 50. As a child, Joy recalled the stories her mother had shared of her voyages to Egypt, China and India with Fox's father, who was a Pipe Major with the Royal Scots. Fox's older brother Alan had often talked of his trips to Venice and the beauty of the city. With those bits. For her 90th birthday this year, Joy has planned another major trip to celebrate this milestone.Taking the Holistic Wealth Personal Financial Identity Quiz Joy recently took the Personal Financial Identity Quiz on the Institute on Holistic Wealth website and identified as a Minimalist - which aligned perfectly with how she has lived her life. For Joy, the quiz reaffirmed the importance of financial resilience and mindful spending, lessons she's carried with her since her wartime upbringing

In this week's episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we're exploring a topic that resonates universally: the importance of owning your self-worth. Self-worth isn't just a nice idea—it's the “command center of our lives”, shaping our decisions, relationships, financial and overall well-being. In this episode, our special guest is Natalie Rowe, and she shares her personal journey with self-esteem and how calling off her wedding, and reclaiming her self-worth transformed her life.   Natalie Rowe is a certified Human Resources Leader and holds a Master's degree in Economics. She is the founder and CEO of Transforming Minds International, an organization dedicated to equipping youth for their careers. She's the author of S.E.T. - Proceed and Succeed in Your Career;as well as chapter e-workbooks on Insightful Career Conversations for Parents and Teens. Natalie is also a financial and career coach. She is married with three sons and lives in Ottawa, Canada.  How Self-Worth Impacts Our LivesIn this episode, Natalie shares her personal journey to highlight how self-worth impacts our lives. She states: “For much of my life, I struggled with low self-esteem. Family dynamics played a significant role in shaping how I viewed myself. As a young girl, I desperately craved the approval of a father who was a provider and protector but whose praise seemed always out of reach”. “On top of this, cultural influences compounded the issue. Growing up in a society that celebrated colorism and a specific body type sent insidious messages about my beauty and worth. Popular music and media reinforced the idea that I wasn't enough—that my skin tone and natural features were less desirable. I internalized these lies, questioning my beauty and diminishing my sense of value”.  The Consequences of Early MessagesThe consequences of these early messages are often profound. Natalie highlighted her previous engagement – a choice that didn't serve her. “I entered a relationship that progressed to an engagement, and the wedding plans were set in motion. The decision to call off the wedding just weeks before the wedding date was incredibly painful”.   The Power of Owning Your Self-WorthSelf-worth isn't something anyone else can give or take away. It comes from within. Learning to affirm ourselves and reject the false messages from our upbringing and culture can be liberating. As Natalie states: “Owning my self-worth has reshaped how I approach decisions, relationships, and challenges. When we own our self-worth, we give ourselves permission to live authentically, make empowered choices, and walk away from situations that don't align with our values or potential”.  Self-worth can heavily influence spending decisions. Most, if not all money issues have their root in heart issues and mindset. People can easily go into debt to acquire what they believe to be the ornaments of success (car, clothes, lifestyle), and then fall in deep financial stress as a result. Equally, people can get into debt giving what they don't have because they believe being everyone's saviour will make them more likeable. However, when you are at peace with who you are, you don't put on appearances to make a statement, you rather live within your means, and make solid choices to grow your wealth, save for your children's education, and for retirement, buy insurance to cover your short and long-term financial risks, etc. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we're discussing “Tips for Arthritis Pain Management”, with special guest Dr. Ken Redcross. More than 350 million people globally suffer from arthritis. In the United States, it's estimated that one in four adults, or about 58.5 million people, have been diagnosed with arthritis and suffer from arthritis-related joint pain. Pain management can be challenging due to medication side effects, contraindications, and inconveniences, such as dosage, texture, and smell. If you suffer from arthritis, you may find it harder to walk, move around, and enjoy physical activities. When your joints wear down over time, the cushioning provided by the cartilage erodes, resulting in pain and stiffness. To manage the pain and make things more bearable you can follow a few simple tips to improve your quality of life. Physical health is a critical part of Holistic Wealth, and millions of people globally suffer from chronic pain and disability due to inadequate pain management.   Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. As one of the first full-service concierge, personalized medical practices in the United States, Dr. Redcross' patient portfolio includes executives, athletes, and entertainers, as well as individuals from all walks and stages of life. Dr. Redcross frequently shares his expertise in managing everyday health challenges embracing both natural and alternative methods of healing.

Your gastrointestinal tract has a vast and complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, bustling with a myriad of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. These microscopic organisms are integral not only for proper digestive function and absorption of nutrients but also for engaging in a continuous dialogue with the vast network of immune cells working together to defend your body's health. As Dr Redcross states in this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast - 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome. A healthy gut microbiome includes a diversity of beneficial bacteria that helps your immune system function at its best, while a disrupted microbiome may undermine its ability to diligently protect your health. When we seek comfort in the foods we love, they don't always love us back. Having a healthy gut is all about balance. Often, it's not very practical or even sustainable to banish the foods you love. By following simple tips and making a few lifestyle fixes, you can keep your belly both happy and healthy.

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that usually arises in response to a perceived threat, insult, or injustice. Recognizing the gap between expectations and experiences (current situation) can help manage anger. This gap often triggers frustration when reality doesn't meet our hopes and desires. It is crucial to recognize that the root cause of anger is internal rather than external. Often anger stems from unprocessed emotions from childhood leading to adult emotions that are disproportionate or inappropriate to the situation. Healthy vs. Unhealthy Anger:  Healthy Anger: Motivates action against injustices such as poverty, and inequality.  Unhealthy Anger: Manifests through destructive outbursts or suppression, causing personal stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems including high blood pressure.  Resources Used In This Episode: Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom Trauma of Money Certification program Holistic Healing Certification program --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

In 2024, despite the growing awareness and emphasis on holistic wealth, several hidden threats continue to pose challenges to our overall well-being. Here are some of the hidden threats to holistic wealth in 2024:  Digital Overload: The pervasive influence of technology and digital devices can lead to information overload, constant distraction, and a disconnect from real-world experiences.

Striking a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal pursuits is essential for holistic wealth.  Financial Stress: Despite efforts to redefine prosperity beyond financial metrics, economic insecurity and financial stress remain significant concerns for many individuals. Rising living costs, debt burdens, and economic uncertainty can take a toll on mental and emotional health, affecting our overall sense of well-being.  Environmental Degradation: The ongoing environmental crisis, including climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, threatens not only the health of our planet but also our holistic wealth.

They use persuasive tactics to appeal to our emotions and impulses, leading us to make purchases without fully considering their long-term impact on our finances. Money Trauma and Unplanned Spending Money trauma, such as feelings of guilt or shame related to money, can lead to unplanned spending as a way to cope with these emotions. By addressing and healing from money trauma, you can avoid the cycle of emotional spending and make more conscious financial decisions. The Importance of Spiritual Self-Renewal Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, making it the perfect opportunity to focus on your spiritual well-being. By engaging in practices such as meditation, prayer, mindfulness, and self-reflection, you can renew your sense of purpose and keep your financial goals in focus.   The Value of Personal Financial Identity Framework Your personal financial identity is a crucial aspect of your overall well-being. It encompasses your beliefs, values, and behaviors related to money. By understanding and embracing your financial identity, you can make more informed decisions about how you spend and save during the spring season. Furthermore, the framework emphasizes the importance of financial literacy and education, equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to recognize warning signs and protect their holistic wealth. In a world where financial vulnerabilities are often exploited, the Personal Financial Identity Framework enables empowerment and resilience. There's an entire chapter on the Personal Financial Identity framework in the Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book. The free Personal Financial Identity quiz is available on the Institute on Holistic Wealth website.   The Role of Budgeting and Mindful Spending Budgeting is a powerful tool for managing your finances, especially during times of increased spending temptation. By creating a budget that aligns with your financial goals and values, you can avoid overspending and stay on track towards holistic wealth. Mindful spending goes hand in hand with budgeting. It involves being present and intentional with your purchases, rather than succumbing to impulse buying. By practicing mindful spending, you can make purchases that truly align with your values and bring you lasting satisfaction. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is former CNN Senior Political Analyst, Kirsten Powers. In this interview, Kirsten discussed her popular essay “The Way We Live in The United States Is Not Normal (Why We Are Buying Land in Italy)”. In her essay, Kirsten outlines that “something is deeply wrong with the United States, and I don't want to live here anymore”. Kirsten outlines several moments of clarity that something was off in the country of her birth, including a moment on a flight home where she sat next to a Danish woman. In her essay, Kirsten states: “Another clarifying moment occurred on a flight home from the 2016 New Hampshire primary. I was seated next to a Danish woman, a former mayor who was part of an international contingent observing American democracy in action. People in Denmark are often ranked the happiest in the world. I asked her if this was true. She said she didn't know if they were the happiest, but that they were happy. She ascribed this to the fact that their basic needs were met. Nobody worried about running out of money for retirement or whether they could attend college or afford health care. Because education was free and life was affordable, people chose careers based on their passions rather than on earning potential. Yes, they paid 50% in taxes but didn't worry about having what they needed. Nobody graduated from college, saddled with the debt of a small nation”. Capitalism Has Gone Off The Rails Kirsten's essay also points to hyper-capitalism that now exists with an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor: “When I was growing up, the United States was a capitalistic country, but there were guardrails. They were not necessarily explicit, but they were understood to exist. Those guardrails are gone. Call it hyper-capitalism or late-stage capitalism, or whatever you want: there is no longer even the slightest sense of decency. Now there is no shame in making 800 million times more than your average worker at your company, who you would lay off in a heartbeat if it were to your financial benefit—in fact, these people are often glorified as the epitome of the American Dream”. “Meanwhile, the rest of America is drowning in credit card debt and running their bodies into the ground, chasing success and stability. Because everything is so expensive and our hyper-capitalist culture tells you your value and happiness are derived from your level of career accomplishment and acquisition of material goods, it starts to almost make sense that people would work so hard to achieve this identity for themselves”. “The more we acquire, the more we achieve, the less happy we are. Only now, you also have the problem of cratering mental health and often some sort of chronic illness. We are not designed to live this way, and our bodies are here to remind us of this fact”. In Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book, the issues of income inequality, high debt and high levels of stress, anxiety and burnout are heavily discussed. Kirsten's substack essay illuminates the fact that holistic wealth is so critical – and that we need holistically wealthy societies.

Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom. By Keisha Blair   1. Obey The Calling On Your Life The first step towards unlocking your true potential is obeying the call on your life through self-reflection. Take the time to understand your strengths, passions, values, and beliefs. Reflect on your life experiences, both positive and negative, and learn from them. Ask yourself questions like "What am I truly passionate about?" or "What brings me a sense of fulfillment?" This introspective journey will help you gain clarity about who you are and what you want to achieve in life. 2. Set Clear Goals – Create Your Holistic Wealth Portfolio Once you have a better understanding of yourself, it's time to set clear and achievable goals. Identify both short-term and long-term objectives that align with your passions and values. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps to create a roadmap for your personal growth. Setting goals provides a sense of direction, motivation, and a sense of accomplishment as you progress. The Institute on Holistic Wealth can help you design your Holistic Wealth Portfolio that's unique to you. 4. Overcome Fear and Embrace Change Fear and resistance to change often hold us back from reaching our full potential. Embrace the mindset that growth comes through stepping outside of your comfort zone. Face your fears, take calculated risks, and be open to change. Remember that failure is a natural part of the process, and it provides invaluable lessons for growth. 5. Cultivate Resilience and Positivity Life is full of challenges and setbacks, but resilience is the key to bouncing back stronger. Cultivate a positive attitude towards life, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Practice gratitude and mindfulness to develop resilience in the face of adversity. A positive outlook will not only keep you motivated but also attract positive opportunities and experiences into your life. 6. Surround Yourself with Supportive People Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you in your journey. Connect with like-minded individuals who share similar goals and aspirations. Seek guidance from mentors or coaches who can offer valuable insights and encouragement. Having a supportive network can make a significant difference in your pursuit of unlocking your true potential. 7. Take Care of Your Well-Being Physical and mental well-being are vital components of unleashing your true potential. Prioritize self-care, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient rest. Practice mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga to nurture a calm and focused mind. When you take care of yourself, you'll find it easier to tackle challenges and stay on track toward your goals. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

Black women in many countries, including the United States, face higher rates of maternal mortality, preterm birth, low birth weight, and other pregnancy complications compared to their white counterparts. Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than White women. In an article in the New York Observer, entitled “What is Causing The High Maternal Death Rate Among Black Women in America?”, I highlighted that “in the U.S., Black expectant mothers are 243 percent more likely to die from childbirth-related causes than white women. Black women are also 49 percent more likely to deliver prematurely than white women, while black babies are twice as likely to die before reaching their first birthday”. These disparities are influenced by a complex interplay of socioeconomic factors, systemic racism, healthcare inequities, and implicit biases within the healthcare system. Our guest on this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast on empowering Black women's health is Dr. Monique Rainford. Dr. Monique Rainford is a board-certified OBGYN and Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale Medicine.  Dr. Rainford is the author of the new book Pregnant While Black: Advancing Justice for Maternal Health in America.

Intuition is a powerful and often overlooked tool that can guide us in decision-making, problem-solving, entrepreneurship and creative endeavours. It manifests in various forms, including gut feelings, instincts, and insightful thoughts. These different forms of intuition complement each other and provide unique insights that can benefit us in different situations. Examples and personal anecdotes demonstrate the power of intuition in real-life scenarios. From a business owner trusting her gut feeling to avoid a disastrous partnership to an artist finding creative inspiration through intuitive insights, intuition has proven to be a valuable resource. Several practical strategies and techniques can be employed to nurture and strengthen intuition. These include mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing, intuitive journaling, engaging in creative pursuits, paying attention to physical sensations, and respecting initial intuitive reactions. Creating a quiet space for reflection and drawing from past experiences also contribute to the development of intuition. Mindfulness, self-awareness, and inner reflection are essential in connecting with our intuition. Mindfulness practices help us clear our minds and recognize intuitive signals, while self-awareness allows us to distinguish between genuine intuition and external influences. Inner reflection fosters self-discovery and aligns us with our true selves, enhancing our intuitive abilities. Exercise and activities can help individuals tap into their intuition. These include focusing on breath during meditation, intuitive journaling, body scan meditation, contemplating symbols, mindful walks, and engaging in artistic expression. It's essential to approach these exercises with an open mindset and trust the unique insights that arise. Intuition plays a significant role in decision-making and problem-solving. It enables faster decision-making, provides a holistic perspective, integrates tacit knowledge, stimulates creative problem-solving, aligns with emotions and values, and aids in risk assessment. It should be balanced with rational thinking to create a robust decision-making process. Regarding creativity and innovation, intuition enhances idea generation, encourages unconventional thinking, helps recognize opportunities, facilitates problem-solving, enhances the creative process, embraces risk and uncertainty, and promotes empathy and user-centric innovation. By trusting our intuitive impulses, we can tap into our creative potential and drive innovation in various areas of life. Something to note, intuition is a powerful inner guidance system that, when tapped into and trusted, can lead to better decision-making, personal growth, and creative expression. By recognizing the different forms of intuition, nurturing and strengthening our connection to it, and applying it in various aspects of life, we can unlock its potential and live a more fulfilling and authentic existence.

In this exciting episode of the Holistic ,Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our very special guest is Laura Belgray, award-winning founder of Talking Shrimp and Co-Creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, we discuss how Laura Belgray earned her first million at age 50 plus her new book Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-Ing Worst (now available for preorder). She's written TV spots for clients like NBC, Fandango, and Bravo, and now helps entrepreneurs and creatives get paid to be 100% themselves. Laura mentioned on the Holistic Wealth podcast that this pivotal conversation that she also outlined in her book, made her think twice about her “fit” in the corporate world: "All I do in my career is move up and up and up. It's like every time I walk into the office, I get promoted." “We were at dinner with our friend's new girlfriend, a dewy-faced, 29-year-old Conde Nast worker. Shaking her head "no" to the server's offer of bread, she added, "I'll probably be publisher in the next couple of years. I remember thinking (as I smeared butter on a second sourdough roll, thank you), I'm ten years older than this young thing and have never in my life moved "up and up and up." I'm so behind!” That was more than a decade ago. For years, my "feeling behind" only got worse”. As Laura discussed on the podcast “it's easy to feel behind when you scroll Instagram and see young influencers raking in billions from lip gloss, or overhear 20-something tech kids in line at Starbucks, talking about their Tesla collections and early retirements”. This podcast episode is for the late starters and late bloomers, who think they're behind. With high inflation and high cost of living, fears of a looming recession, and increasing debt, many people are wondering how to deal with their personal finances. Money mindset and money beliefs are critical to achieving financial freedom and are therefore important to overall holistic wealth. On the Holistic Wealth podcast as well as in the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated; 36 Life Lessons To Help Your Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, the entire book is dedicated to this topic as well as mindset and mental health.

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast were discussing Holistic Wealth as the antidote to burnout and the burnout crisis. According to a recent article in CNBC, burnout is on the rise worldwide, especially among women and younger workers. More than 10,000 workers were surveyed in six different countries and over 40% indicated they were burned out. What Is Burnout? The World Health Organization defines burnout as increased mental distance from one's job, energy depletion and increased negativity. Burnout can be seen as a misalignment with our values and what we are currently doing because it often arises when we are overworking or overextending ourselves in areas that do not align with our core values or personal goals. When we continuously engage in activities or tasks that are not meaningful or fulfilling to us, we begin to experience a sense of disconnection or dissatisfaction, which can lead to burnout. For example, if someone values spending quality time with their family but works long hours and has little time to spend with loved ones, they may experience burnout as they feel disconnected from their values and goals. Similarly, if someone values creativity and self-expression but works in a job that does not allow them to utilize their creative skills, they may feel unfulfilled and experience burnout as a result. The NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom (now available ) emphasizes the art of recovery from disruption and has tips and strategies for managing burnout. The Holistic Wealth framework, developed by Keisha Blair and outlined in this book is the antidote to burnout. When we experience burnout, it is often a sign that we need to re-evaluate our priorities and make changes in our lives that align with our values and personal goals. This may involve setting boundaries, saying no to certain activities or commitments, or even changing careers or lifestyles to better align with our values and priorities. By aligning our actions with our values, we can create a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives that can help prevent burnout and promote overall well-being. When we engage in activities that align with our values, we are more likely to feel a sense of satisfaction, motivation, and joy, which can help us maintain a healthy work-life balance and prevent burnout. Racism and microaggressions at work can contribute to burnout by creating a hostile work environment and causing chronic stress for employees of color. Racism refers to the systemic and institutionalized practices that disadvantage people of certain races or ethnicities, while microaggressions are subtle and often unintentional acts of discrimination or prejudice that can have a cumulative impact on the recipient's mental and emotional well-being. When employees experience racism and microaggressions at work, it can lead to a range of negative health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and burnout. The constant exposure to discriminatory attitudes and behaviors can create a sense of hypervigilance and stress, which can trigger the body's stress response system and lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Employees who experience racism and microaggressions at work may also feel a sense of isolation and lack of belonging, which can further contribute to burnout. When employees feel like they are not valued or respected in their workplace, it can undermine their motivation and sense of purpose, making it more difficult for them to stay engaged and productive on the job. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support

Keisha Blair created the Holistic Wealth movement and her life's mission is ensuring everyone around the globe hears this message. April 9th is now commemorated as Global Holistic Wealth Day.  Global Holistic Wealth Day is a day dedicated to celebrating wealth in all aspects of our lives, not just financial wealth. This day encourages individuals to take a step back and assess their overall well-being, including their physical, mental, and emotional health, relationships, career, and financial stability. In the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, there are many strategies throughout to help you live a holistically wealthy lifestyle. Why Is Global Holistic Wealth Day Important? Global Mental Health Crisis: Around the globe, we are faced with a mental health crisis. According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people currently struggle with mental illness, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. In Canada, it affects more than 6.7 million people. One in two Canadians have—or have had—a mental illness by the time they reach 40 years of age. In the United States, a recent CNN/KFF survey revealed that  90% of adults think the country is experiencing a mental health crisis. From 2015 to 2019, prescriptions for anti-depressants rose 38% for teenagers compared to 15% for adults. A Global Financial Well-Being Crisis: According to CNBC, total credit card debt reached a record $930.6 billion by the end of last year. “More consumers are leaning on credit cards to afford increasingly expensive necessities such as food and rent. At this rate, households are nearing a “breaking point,” according to a separate study by WalletHub”. Financial illiteracy is still a huge global problem. Across all age groups, the average estimated money loss reported due to lack of personal finance knowledge was $1,389.06. Financial illiteracy is estimated to have cost the United States more than $352 billion in 2021. Global Health Crisis: Skyrocketing rates of illness and disease including cancer (including, prostate and breast cancers and others), as well as chronic illnesses such as diabetes on the rise and long COVID. Social Justice/Gun Violence/Racial Crisis: The social fabric of our communities is threatened by increasing gun violence and racism. More than 50 American municipalities and three states have formally highlighted racism as a public health crisis. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keisha-blair/support
