Being mindful about your life choices is key to success in every aspect of life. When you date, you need to have set standards not based on shallow things like height or physical features that eventually fade with age. But based on values. For example, can this man build an empire with you? Can this man insure that your children are born into wealth? If you're over the age of 24 you have no business dealing with men who aren't winners! The days of “I like him because he's cute and funny” are over. Generationally you need to build a partnership with a man who brings more to the table than just “I love you.” Listen to this episode if you want to attract a provider man into your life. If your man isn't making your life easier, sorry to say it, but he ain't the one.Topics Covered In This Episode:How To Attract a Provider ManWhy You're Attracting All The Wrong MenHow Your Childhood Impacts Your Dating ExperiencesHow To Identify a Provider Vs a Lovebomber Heartwarming Examples of Providers From Ginas FollowersEpisode Sponsor:Monisha Kumar is a birth attendant, postpartum doula, and womb body worker.

And how you feel and what you believe can have a big impact on whether you earn, save, invest, or even lose money. To understand how trauma impacts your money habits we need to understand the different attachment styles people develop when they're young.

If you live in Metro Vancouver or the Greater Toronto area, there's a good chance that you've either been invited to an Indian wedding or attended one. They're often lavish, extravagant, week-long affairs with anywhere from 500 to 1,200 guests. An Indian wedding can last from three days to even a full week. There is a lot to love in an Indian wedding, but with all the extravagance and glamor, the cons of a big, fat Indian wedding are not always considered. But here's the harsh truth: such weddings burn a hole in the family's pocket and no matter how hard they try, keeping every guest happy is next to impossible. Throughout this episode, you'll hear anonymous submissions from couples about their challenges and pain points. Today, we're getting into the nitty gritty of indian weddings between the nosy relatives who always find a reason to be unhappy, the flaunt factor, the traditions and culture, the maddening preparations, pricey and unprofessional vendors, familial expectations, bachelorettes gone wrong, getting into debt, and finally teaching you how to set clear boundaries with your family— we're covering it all.
