Joy's journey, which began with heartbreak and resilience with a broken engagement, has been featured as one of the BBC's top travel stories of 2024. 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. Please tune in to this inspiring episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast and discover how Joy continues to inspire generations with her boundless spirit and zest for life in this episode on: Holistic Wealth and Breaking Barriers at Age 89: Solo Travel with World War II Survivor, Joy Fox.  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. Holistic Wealth Personal Workbook  Personal Financial Identity Quiz  Trauma of Money Certification Program  The Move From England to Canada After the war, Joy emigrated from England to Canada, determined to create a new life. There, she met her husband, who became her partner in rebuilding not only their finances but also her trust in abundance. Through his encouragement, Joy began to reframe her relationship with money, gradually healing from the trauma of her wartime experiences. 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. Selling Her Engagement Ring  Joy's journey as a solo traveler began in the most unexpected way: selling her engagement ring after a broken relationship. 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

    Owning Your Self-Worth: How Calling Off My Wedding Transformed My Life with Natalie Rowe

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2024 35:25


    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.

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.

With the ongoing global burnout epidemic and the shift towards working from home, it's essential to create an environment that nurtures every aspect of our well-being. Our latest episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast is here to help you do just that.  For many women (and men), the word “home” conjures up images of a never-ending pile of laundry, unending chores, lack of time to complete tasks often left undone and stress associated with childcare. According to the Care Gap: “At home, women spend a disproportionate amount of time cooking, cleaning, and managing household activities. On average, women spend 2.5 hours more per day on unpaid household and care work than men. This amounts to over 900 hours per year, significantly impacting their time for professional growth and leisure”. This affects our overall holistic wealth – our personal relationships, as well as our mental, physical, emotional and financial health.    This episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast is geared towards giving you the tools to create Holistic Wealth at Home, and increase harmony and balance at home. Tune in to discover practical tips and strategies to transform your home into a sanctuary of holistic wealth.

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.

Excessive screen time can negatively impact mental health, hinder authentic human connections, and erode our ability to be present in the moment.  Work-Life Imbalance: The blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, exacerbated by remote work arrangements and always-on connectivity, can lead to burnout and diminished overall well-being. 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.

In this episode, we explore the concept of "Financial Infidelity vs Financial Abuse", their warning signs and how they impact Holistic Wealth.

In this episode, we'll delve into why embracing your Personal Financial Identity is also key to financial authenticity and genuinely and helps to educate those around you about your financial values and goals. Defining Financial Infidelity: Financial infidelity refers to the act of hiding financial matters from a partner, such as secret accounts, undisclosed debts, or covert spending. Hiding assets, investments, even side hustles, and various forms of income also fall under financial infidelity. Defining Financial Abuse: Financial abuse involves controlling or manipulating a partner's finances to gain power and control in the relationship. This can include restricting access to money, stealing funds, or coercing financial decisions. Differences and Warning Signs: While both financial infidelity and financial abuse involve deception, they differ in intent and impact. Financial infidelity often stems from individual issues, such as shame or a desire for autonomy. Warning signs include unexplained expenses, secretive behavior, or reluctance to discuss finances. In contrast, financial abuse is characterized by a pattern of control and manipulation, with warning signs including restrictions on financial autonomy, coercion, and threats.  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 Certified Holistic Wealth Consultant Program Trauma of Money Certification program Holistic Healing Certification program The Value of Personal Financial Identity Framework and Financial Infidelity/Financial Abuse: The Personal Financial Identity Framework is invaluable in safeguarding individuals against the detrimental effects of financial infidelity and financial abuse.

In this episode, we'll delve into why embracing your Personal Financial Identity is also key to practicing loud budgeting authentically and genuinely and helps to educate those around you about your financial values and goals. Defining Loud Budgeting: Loud budgeting aligns with the principles of Holistic Wealth laid out by Keisha Blair and is very much aligned with the “Art of Recovery from Disruption”. Loud Budgeting goes beyond the traditional confines of traditional budgeting. It's a dynamic approach that not only allows you to vocalize your constraints around spending, it also helps you to track expenses but also aligns with your core values and beliefs. Loud budgeting is a TikTok trend writer and comedian Lukas Battles started. He explained that loud budgeting is a “way to say no when friends, and family, invite (or pressure) you to spend money you don't want to”. The loud budgeting movement is about financial authenticity and financial transparency. Loud budgeting empowers you to say, “No thanks, that's not aligned with my current goals.” Loud budgeting helps you to enforce and vocalize your boundaries when it comes to managing your money. This podcast episode serves as a guide, providing 50 practical examples to help keep you accountable to your budget with resonance and purpose.

    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.

Sexual health and well-being are part of our overall physical, mental and emotional health and is therefore important to overall holistic wealth. As a matter of fact, there are very practical ways of integrating your sex and relationship goals as part of your overall holistic wealth. Navigating perimenopause is a transformative journey that transcends the physiological changes experienced by women; it significantly influences the holistic wealth of individuals. Holistic Wealth extends beyond mere financial prosperity, encompassing emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Perimenopause, often accompanied by a myriad of physical symptoms and emotional shifts, demands a holistic approach to navigate its complexities. Addressing the challenges of perimenopause requires more than just medical interventions; it necessitates a deep understanding of how hormonal fluctuations impact overall well-being. By embracing holistic wealth practices, individuals can navigate this transitional phase with resilience, focusing on mental and emotional health, nurturing physical vitality, and fostering fulfilling connections. Recognizing the interconnectedness of hormonal health and holistic wealth underscores the importance of a comprehensive, well-rounded approach to well-being, empowering individuals to thrive holistically during this significant life transition.

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.

    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.

    Unleashing the POWER of INTUITION

    Play Episode Listen Later May 15, 2023 32:48


    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 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.

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

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
