The 2021 theme for World Mental Health Day is “Mental Health in an Unequal World.” This theme highlights the fact that between 75% to 95% of people with mental health issues in low and middle-income countries are unable to access the care that they need. In the US, it's not much better for people of color given that only 14% to 15% of U.S. psychologists are non-white. The good news: there is a movement to decolonize, disrupt, and dismantle oppressive mental health practices. That movement is being led by our Coach Chat guest, Melody Li. Melody is a queer therapist of color and founder of Inclusive Therapists, a platform that offers a safer, simpler way for people of all identities and abilities in all bodies to find a culturally responsive, social justice-oriented therapist. Melody is a mental health liberation activist whose goal is to decolonize mental health and healing, especially for those who live at the BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ intersection. Melody talks in this episode with Coach Colette about what it means to decolonize mental health and how colonizing practices impact those with marginalized identities. Melody shares their own decolonizing journey to healing from internalized shame, oppression, and white supremacy. They also talk about the power and necessity of telling your story and the importance of finding safe, healing, liberation-oriented communities — communities that take your mental health seriously and provide space for that storytelling. You don't want to miss this one— it's a conversation rich with meaning and reflection on how we can tend to ourselves and others.

She understands why a certain diet can be advantageous for one client and detrimental for another.   As an athlete her entire life, Colette uses her competitive mindset as a tool to better motivate and encourage her clients as they improve their health and fitness. Her passion is to help her clients build an image to not only be proud of but to embrace when looking in a mirror.   Being of the mindset that setting short term attainable goals will result in long term positive life changes is the underlying premise that Colette uses as the underpinning for each client.   #THISISME is a workshop Colette curated over the past two years. It can be offered as a 90 minute, 1/2 day or full day course on empowerment. It is a journey that takes time but is the kickstart to understanding the true connection to yourself.    Over the course of Colette's career, she came to realize most women have no idea who they are when they step outside of their everyday roles. #THISISME workshop allows as a launchpad to jump forward with your personal goals and discovery and connection to the person you desire to be.   Learn more about Colette at ColetteLettieri.com.

Content Warning for sexual trauma and gender-based violence. Have you ever felt a spiritual connection with an ancestor or other higher being? Have you ever had difficulty recognizing when your intuition is guiding you? These are just two of the eye-opening concepts explored in this Coach Chat conversation with Anita Kopacz. Anita is a spiritual psychologist, and author of the newly released novel, Shallow Waters, published through Black Privilege Publishing at Simon & Schuster. The novel imagines Yemaya, an Orïsha—a deity in the religion of Africa's Yoruba people—in mid-1800s America. Readers meet Yemaya as a young woman who is not yet fully aware of the spectacular power she possesses to protect herself and those she holds dear. When we're open, we can experience a lot through our senses, yet many teachings tell us to ignore those experiences. In this episode, you'll hear about Anita's first connection with a spiritual being, and how she was treated by others when they learned of her gift. She shares in the conversation that she has been connected to Yemaya since she was 18 years old. Coach Colette and Anita discuss how Western psychology fails to incorporate spirituality and indigenous traditions, and how this initially made accepting her abilities challenging for Anita. The two also explore how Anita's childhood experience of molestation became an inspiration behind her campaign, Zero F's Given, which aims to raise awareness and help survivors heal from sexual trauma, find their voice, and reclaim their power. If you're looking to hear about monumental transformation and spiritual growth, or you just want an amazing teaser of Shallow Waters, this episode is a must-listen!

In recognition of BIPOC Mental Health month, it's important to recognize that traditional mental health care solutions do not take into account all of the self-affirming, healing practices that exist within Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other communities of color. These tools, systems, and practices are valid, valuable choices that people of color can make to support their own mental health and well-being. In this Coach Chat episode, we hear from Chandra Roxanne about the Community Healing Network, an organization that exists to reinforce these self-affirming beliefs. CHN hosts Ubuntu Healing and Emotional Emancipation Circles where Black people can gather and talk about what's ailing them, not just externally, but what's going on inside. In the episode, you'll learn more about the magic and renewal that occurs within these safe spaces. Chandra explains the meaning of emotional emancipation as well as why emotional resilience and self-reflection are key to Black liberation. Chandra shares the mission of CHN to unravel and reject the lie of white superiority and Black inferiority on which the lie of white supremacy rests. She and Coach Colette reflect on the power of Black joy, and the enriching capability of African ancestry to renew Black minds, bodies, and spirits. The two also discuss the detrimental ways racism impacts BIPOC mental health and the importance of this impact finally being acknowledged more widely.

When you hear the name, Ida B. Wells, what comes to mind? Journalist? Suffragist? Civil rights pioneer? How about a dangerous Negro agitator? This was just one of the terms used to describe Ida B. Wells back in her day because she was intent on speaking truth to power and holding a mirror to the Black experience of that time. In this Coach Chat episode, Coach Colette has the privilege of speaking with Michelle Duster, author of Ida B. The Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B. Wells, and great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells. She's an author and educator who has written, edited or contributed to numerous articles and 16 books. Michelle provides us an in-depth look into current efforts to commemorate Ida B. Wells: a street and a monument in Ida's honor in Chicago, a statue of Ida in Memphis, and a mural of Chicago suffragists, to name a few. Coach Colette and Michelle also reflect on current Black women leaders and revolutionaries who carry on Ida's legacy of speaking truth to power.

Do you ever hear about a woman or person of color who is the "first" to accomplish a major milestone in an industry, and think: "Really, in 2021?" Well, our Coach Chat guest is no stranger to being first. Leang Chung was the first in her family to receive a Bachelor's degree, the first to have a job with an annual salary versus an hourly wage, and the first to become a corporate executive. It was these experiences of being "first" that inspired her to found her startup Pelora Stack, to help other underrepresented early-stage founders, mid-career women, and non-binary people prepare for their "firsts". This Coach Chat conversation is the perfect culmination of Mental Health Awareness and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage months. You'll hear Coach Colette and Leang discuss how she was born into a refugee family from Cambodia and how her family values helped shape her perspective. Leang speaks candidly about the bias she faced early in her professional career, as well as her journey to discover her personal brand, learn how to communicate it, and how to create personal boundaries. She shares the difficulty of responding to microaggressions in the moment as an introvert. The two also discuss the detrimental mental health impacts on AAPI people that result from internalizing negative messages and battling stereotypes like the so-called "model minority" myth. Whether you're experiencing a first in your career or business, or if you're dealing with and processing racial trauma, you'll gain insights from this conversation.

As today is the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder, Coach Colette speaks in this episode on the topic of trauma. Research shows that after the killing of George Floyd, rates of anxiety and depression for Black and Asian Americans increased between 34 and 41 percentage points. How do you process and heal from trauma? Clearly, one doesn't need to be personally connected to the victims of violence to feel its damaging effects. Coach Colette discusses the importance of acknowledging what has happened instead of suppressing it and being honest with yourself. She also advises you to not compare your experiences and healing journey with others. Additionally, it is key to take care of both your mind and body— whether that is through movement, breathwork, EFT tapping, focusing on your sleep hygiene, or meditation. Have you found a support network that encourages you in your healing process? Be sure to keep in mind that asking for help is a sign of strength. You deserve grace and patience during a difficult healing process. Coach Colette appreciates you tuning in to the May Mental Health Month series. We hope you've learned to prioritize the steps it takes to preserve your mental health and foster resilience. If you enjoyed this episode, why not share it on Instagram and follow @coach_colette.

Did you know that today is Mental Health Action Day? It's a day that aims to move you from awareness to action and encourages you to take the first step in building resilience — whether that's seeing a therapist, joining a peer support group, starting a meditation practice, or reaching out to a friend. Make sure to check out their site here for more info on how you can get started. How do you usually release your anger? Have you identified ways to work through anger and frustration, or do you find yourself bottling them up? In today's episode, Coach Colette discusses the distinction between minor daily frustrations and more sustained or systemic issues. She also validates the anger that many people of color feel towards ongoing racial violence and oppression, anger that is often gaslit by others and the media. Coach Colette provides some advice to help you release your anger through different activities and movements, learn and identify your triggers, and ask for help.

Did you know that on average, people spend only 15 minutes a day on health-related self-care? For this episode of Mental Health Month, during Women's Health Week, Coach Colette discusses self-care and self-compassion. What makes you feel grounded? She encourages you first to consider how you want to feel to help you decide what nourishing activities you want to take on. Coach Colette also speaks to the importance of being kind to yourself, especially for women of color who may be internalizing negative stereotypes and perceptions perpetuated by the media. Are you saying no when you don't want to do something, even if you feel pressure to say yes? Are you setting boundaries in your relationships? Are you protecting your energy? All of these are important aspects of self-compassion, and as Audre Lorde calls it, self-preservation. We're excited to share that Coach Colette has a NEW mental health resource— the 7-Days of Self-Care e-Journal that includes checklists, suggested actions, and worksheets to help track your progress on your self-care journey. If you need to find new ways to take care of yourself and a getaway from chaos at work, home, or in your own mind, then this journal could be a great resource for you! Get your journal here.

Each week, there will be a new mental health topic, and you'll hear tips to build your resilience and improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Have you ever heard of "languishing"? As we reach the end of Stress Awareness Month, in this week's episode, Coach Colette discusses a recent NY Times article by organizational psychologist, Adam Grant. In the article, Grant introduces the term, "languishing", as a possible description of how you might be feeling lately. The idea of languishing— a void between depression and flourishing, or a lack of total wellbeing— has resonated with many, including Coach Colette. She uses this episode to provide some advice for re-centering and gaining a little motivation. It could be physical activities or more mentally-stimulating activities— anything to get your body or mind moving and your soul more grounded. What's your go-to activity to ground yourself when you find yourself languishing? Coach Colette gets real with you in this week's Unplugged segment— she acknowledges the way languishing has impacted her professionally, mentally, and emotionally. She's been feeling disconnected from her regular self-care habits and is seeking out new ways to get into that flow state. As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, Coach Colette will be introducing a plethora of ideas in the coming weeks to revitalize your own self-care habits. And, if you're in a place where the weather is warming up, why not take some of those practices outside? What self-care practices no longer serve you? How can you reflect on those habits and adjust them to feel your best? If you enjoyed this episode, why not share it on Instagram and follow @coach_colette.

Did you know that communities of color are drastically more impacted by environmental issues than their white counterparts? As yesterday was Earth Day, Coach Colette uses this week's episode to speak about environmental racism. She discusses the initial definition by Benjamin Chavis in 1982, as well as findings from a 2007 study that show just how unfairly the consequences of environmental pollution are distributed. Flint, Michigan, the lower Rio Grande Valley, and Guiyu, China are just a few examples of the way communities of color face serious health complications as a result of systemic racism and the selfishness and neglect of those in power. How are you working to heal from the heaviness of the terrible instances of violence as well as the anxiety and anticipation of the trial? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette reflects on the guilty verdict in Derek Chauvin's trial earlier this week, and the heart-wrenching news of Ma'Khia Bryant's murder just a half hour before the verdict was released. She considers a statement from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison that differentiates justice from accountability, which lines up with the way she's been processing these events.

Did you know that this week is Black Maternal Health Week? Black Maternal Health Week was established in 2018 by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance and was created to promote education and advocacy around the experiences of Black Mamas. This year's theme is "Black Mamas Matter: Claiming Our Power, Resilience, & Liberation". In this week's episode, Coach Colette refers back to a live Let's Talk episode from March 2020 with Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo and Anthonia Akitunde about Black motherhood (Let's Talk: Black Motherhood). She considers how Black women are particularly vulnerable to both pregnancy-related deaths and complications of COVID-19. Conversations around maternal mortality largely focus on medical causes of death, while ignoring the root cause of racial disparities in healthcare: systemic racism. Be sure to check out the Black Maternal Health Virtual Conference going on today and tomorrow, April 16th-17th. This week, another innocent Black person was shot by the police: 20 year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Coach Colette reflects on a Tweet that resonated with her about the ongoing, deadly crisis of police brutality. She encourages you to be mindful of your media consumption during such a difficult time— it is important to step off social media if it is compromising your wellbeing, and be sure not to deny your feelings. How do you practice self-care? Meditation, yoga, EFT-tapping, breathwork? Now, especially, Coach Colette advises you to nourish and take care of yourself.

What in your life causes you stress? April is Stress Awareness Month— a little ironic considering the year-long pandemic that's been plaguing us. In this week's episode, Coach Colette advises you to take stock of your stress triggers, and consider how stress manifests in your mind and body. How do you think about a stressful situation? Do you create stories in your mind that amplify your worries? It is important to think back to past stressful experiences and remember how you've gotten through them. What methods do you use to relieve your stress? Do you spend time in nature, journal, use essential oils, or practice EFT-tapping? We know that right now, communities of color, in particular, are dealing with many layers of stress, so it's especially important for you to take time for yourself and consider limiting the amount of possibly triggering news and media you consume. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette discusses her thoughts on preparing for re-opening— going back to in-person co-working spaces, social events, and workshops. As she is still waiting to get her vaccine, she's not quite ready to be "re-opening" her own life and recognizes her privilege in being able to adjust to in-person work at her own pace. How eager are you to go back to in-person work? What are you considering as you make this decision? If you enjoyed this episode, why not share it on Instagram and follow @coach_colette.

She also provides some tips for getting your body moving more. What is your favorite way to get moving? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette reflects on our reliance on Zoom and the internet, as well as how an increasing number of people are getting vaccinated. How are you feeling about moving towards a more "normal", post-pandemic life? What has changed internally for you in the past year?

if you're living in the Northern Hemisphere, tomorrow marks the Spring Equinox. Given the challenging times we've had this week, let alone this past year, it can be a good time for self-reflection and consideration. What is it that you hope to accomplish or bring into reality during the rest of the year? It’s also a great time to think about spring cleaning, whether that is de-cluttering your home space, or organizing the files on your computer or phone. How can you let go of those things that are no longer serving you? In light of the tragic loss and violence in North Georgia, we stand in grief and solidarity with the Asian-American Pacific Islander communities. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette shares insights from the nation’s leading coalition documenting and addressing anti-Asian hate and discrimination, Stop AAPI Hate. Did you know that there were 3,795 incidents of anti-Asian hate reported from March 19th, 2020 to February 28th, 2021? Or, that women reported hate incidents twice more than men? The shootings that happened this week shined a light on the increasing violence against Asian-Americans in this country and around the world. How will you choose to challenge hate, discrimination, misogyny, xenophobia, and white supremacy wherever you see it?

Tomorrow marks one year since Breonna Taylor was killed in her home. She was an award-winning EMT and first responder in Louisville, Kentucky. On the night of March 13th, the Louisville Metro Police executed a no-knock warrant and sprayed her home with 20 rounds of bullets, shooting Breonna eight times and killing her in her bed. In this episode of Financial Fridays, we share more about actions that still are being demanded of the Mayor and LMPD by her mother Tamika Palmer, one year later. You can visit the Justice for Breonna website here to learn more and visit the petition site here to add your name in support. Spread the word using the hashtags #BreonnaTaylor and #JusticeforBre. By now, you've probably seen the interview by Oprah of Meghan and Harry. Did you have a visceral reaction while hearing of Meghan's trauma? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette shares her experience of watching the interview and then explores the concept of misogynoir. It's a term coined by feminist scholar, writer, and activist Moya Bailey in 2008 to describe the specific type of misogyny rooted in racism faced by Black women. She poses questions such as: How can you #ChoosetoChallenge misogynoir and continue the fight to eradicate it? As Black women, how do we continue to process and heal from the impacts of misogynoir? To read more blog articles by Moya Bailey about misogynoir, click here. Black Girl Ventures and Kim Crawford Wines have partnered together to support Black and Brown female founders.

Monday, March 8th is International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s also a day that signifies a call to action to accelerate gender parity in all spheres, whether that be in politics, in the workplace, in the media, anywhere. This year's theme is #ChoosetoChallenge -- a signal to call out inequity wherever you see it. In this week's Financial Fridays episode, you'll hear about the important theory of intersectionality, coined by Kimberle Williams Crenshaw in 1989 to describe the impact of bias and discrimination on our social identities. March marks another milestone. It’s been 1 year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette reflects on the year and shares her personal and professional silver linings in the cloud of the pandemic. She also encourages you to reflect by proposing some questions. How have you flexed your resilience muscles? As you look back, it’s an opportunity to harvest those lessons learned and to plant new seeds for what you would like to create and manifest going forward.

Nine years ago today, on February 26th, 2012, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old young Black man, was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida. This is a day to remember that we are still in the fight for social justice and equality. Since the death of their son, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin have committed their lives to transform tragedy into change. They created The Trayvon Martin Foundation to empower others to become catalysts for social change. In this week's episode of Financial Fridays, we pay tribute to Trayvon's legacy, and to those unarmed Black men and women who have been fatally shot by police officers nationwide since 2015 (at least 135 lives lost). If you would like to get involved and support The Trayvon Martin Foundation, click HERE. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette opens up to share real and candid thoughts about loss.

Did you know that just 2% of the population is what can be considered a true multi-tasker or so-called super-tasker? With the pandemic, it's likely that you've been doing nearly everything from home -- working, exercising, socializing, cleaning. How often do you focus on just one thing at a time? You might think that multitasking makes you more efficient when it is precisely the opposite. Multitasking actually makes it more difficult for you to focus, which means it’s easier for you to make mistakes; therefore, making it harder for you to be productive overall. In this week's Financial Friday, you hear ideas on how to be more single-focused and conscious in your activities. Have you ever had a moment when you realized that you not only wanted to do something but that you couldn’t NOT do it? What did that feel like inside? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette shares a personal founder's story about being vulnerable and asking for help to avoid missing out on an exciting opportunity for Libbie. You'll hear how the experience confirmed her desire and reignited her passion. Perhaps, you'll gain some insights on how to jumpstart your own enthusiasm -- personally or professionally.

Contributions to the field of mental health by Black practitioners have been long overlooked. In this week's Financial Fridays episode, you'll learn more about Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller, one of the first known Black psychiatrists. Solomon Fuller’s major contribution was to the growing clinical knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease. In 1903, he was one of the five students chosen by Alois Alzheimer to do research at the Royal Psychiatric Hospital at the University of Munich in Germany. While practicing at Westborough State Mental Hospital in Westborough, Massachusetts, Dr. Fuller performed ground-breaking research on the physical changes to the brains of Alzheimer's patients. When you watch a movie or TV show, do you imagine yourself in the shoes of the lead character? How often does the actor portraying that character share some or all of your identity traits?

Studies have shown that merely 1% of venture-backed startup founders are Black, despite the fact that Black people make up over 13% of the US population. And it’s even worse for Black female founders, who receive less than 1% of venture funding. In the third quarter of 2020, over 1,300 startups raised between $500,000 and $20,000,000. Just 31 of them were Black founders. Today, only 3% of venture capital investors are Black. That's what makes this first Coach Chat episode of 2021 even more exceptional! This conversation is with Shila Nieves Burney, the Founding and Managing Partner of Zane Venture Fund. Zane is a woman-led venture capital fund investing in the $4 trillion untapped market of diverse startups by funding undercapitalized founders and balancing the distribution of venture dollars. Zane invests in seed and early-stage companies, led by diverse founders and teams, building tech-enabled solutions primarily in the Southeast and across the U.S. Additionally, Zane Access provides early-stage founders led by diverse teams access to cross-functional experts, services, resources, and training critical to accelerating their growth.

Yesterday was the first full moon of 2021, also nicknamed the full Wolf Moon. The full moon is an excellent time for releasing, letting go, and clearing out the things that are no longer serving you. What are the habits, beliefs, tasks, or even people that are no longer serving you? In this week's episode of Financial Fridays, gain some suggestions to explore these aspects as it relates to your finances and other areas of your life including your health and relationships. With the moon in Leo, consider: where can you bring out that roar of the lion (or that howl of the wolf) to fully express your deepest desires? How much time have you spent alone during the pandemic? How has it impacted your mental health and wellbeing? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette explores loneliness and the different experiences of BIPOC women. For women of color, our loneliness, anxiety, and depression often looks different than for white women. Our tears, grief, and sadness are not greeted with the same level of compassion as the tears, grief, or loss of our white counterparts. So, we tend to build up a resistance and not speak about the things that are bothering us. Coach Colette shares statements from the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale so you can rate yourself and examine your level of loneliness.

Nutrition is one of the most powerful ways that you can prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.

Studies have shown that individuals that incorporate more plant-based foods tend to have lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and a more healthy weight. On average, they also tend to live longer. The more that you stock your cupboard and refrigerator with high-fiber, antioxidant-rich foods, the more your body will thank you. Since your mind and body are connected, not only will you feel better physically, you also will feel better mentally.

Does it feel like we finally have a New Year? 2021 happened for many of us on January 20, 2021. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette reminisces on all of the Black Girl Magic that happened at the Inauguration. If you are a woman of color, there may be times when you experience self-doubt or so-called imposter syndrome. Or, you may be struggling with the “Strong Black Woman” syndrome of putting your needs after everyone else's needs. Given all of the beautiful things that happened this week, it’s a great reminder to affirm and celebrate all that you are.

Even though we may be celebrating the holiday on Monday, today is the actual birthday of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. In this week's Financial Fridays episode, Coach Colette reads excerpts of the momentous “I Have a Dream” speech delivered on August 28th, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. In light of recent events, it’s imperative that we recall his words and that we examine the condition of our republic today. Take some time to reflect on his message, his vision, and consider: What is it that you can do today to help further his dream? What have you been taught to believe about your value at work, in the world, in your family, in your relationships? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette offers some prompts to guide you in your inner reflection on self-worth to help set intentions for the New Year.

What might happen if you allowed yourself to challenge the myth to completely reinvent yourself for the New Year? What if instead of the usual trope, you instead chose to invoke a new mantra: New Year, Same You, New Habits? Or New Year, Same You, New Intentions? This could unburden you and reinforce the fact that you can develop new habits while still appreciating and celebrating all that you are right now. In this week's Financial Fridays episode, you'll hear some prompts to help you envision what new habits and intentions you want to create for your financial wellbeing. In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette shares some candid reflections on recent events. During the week that pro-Trump, white-supremacist terrorists stormed the US Capitol, Rev. Raphael Warnock also was elected as the first Black senator to represent Georgia. We don’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate this accomplishment, achieved in no small part by change agents like Stacey Abrams, who mobilized thousands of Black voters in Georgia to come out and vote. If you have been triggered by the incidents that you have witnessed this week, build in time for self-care. Take some ME-time, and know that not being okay is okay. We've got your back.

This African-American and Pan-African holiday celebrates family, community, and culture. It was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Africana studies. During Kwanzaa, activities are organized around the Seven Principles. Umoja or Unity is the first and foundational principle of Kwanzaa.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we’ve been experiencing early sunsets, shorter days, and longer nights. Monday, December 21st marks the transition into longer days and shorter nights with the Winter Solstice. This week's Financial Fridays episode offers a preview of the celestial events on Monday. It’s been a dark year in many ways for many of us. Why not reflect on how you can let more light into your life. How are you allowing your light to shine? Also on the 21st, the two largest planets in our solar system will appear to look like they are merging in the night sky. Astronomers are calling it The Great Conjunction of 2020. Conjunctions happen when two celestial objects appear to pass close to one another as they are seen from Earth. This will be the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, forming what's being called the Christmas Star. It's been 800 years since this conjunction has happened at night, so you may want to take a peek! What were your wins in 2020? What went well? What are you most proud of? With just two Fridays left in 2020, in this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette shares a few prompts to help you to reflect on the past year.

Yesterday was Human Rights Day. The theme this year is Recover Better. We know that the COVID-19 crisis has exposed gaps in poverty, equality, discrimination, environmental degradation, and human rights protection. While the virus itself does not discriminate, it has highlighted the fact that people who are poor, marginalized, excluded, and discriminated against are more likely to get sick and not access testing. They are more likely to suffer the loss of a job, home, or other fundamental rights. In this week's episode of Financial Fridays, we explore some of these issues and share the pledge you can take to Stand Up 4 Human Rights. Do you have a morning ritual? Do you give yourself any amount of time at the start of the day that is just for you? In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette offers a personal anecdote about her morning ritual, and what happened one day this week when she tried to skip ahead and ignore it. She also provides additional reflection questions to begin pondering about 2020 and ease into your planning for the New Year. This week the focus is on health and self-care.
