The first is titled Best Sustainable ETFs for ESG Investors. It's by Sumedha and can be seen on sfctoday.com. Here's some of what the author says about their picks. “1. TCW Transform 500 ETF (VOTE) Unlike traditional ETFs that exclude companies based on specific ESG criteria, the TCW Transform 500 ETF takes an inclusive approach, using shareholder engagement to encourage better corporate governance and sustainability practices. By including major companies and influencing their behavior, investors in this ETF can help drive long-term value creation in the US economy. The ETF tracks the Morningstar US Large Cap Select TR USD Index, a market cap-weighted index that reflects the performance of the largest US companies. 2. Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF (USCA) As the world increasingly moves toward sustainability, the Xtrackers MSCI USA Climate Action Equity ETF is positioned to capture investment opportunities aligned with this shift.

Managed by BlackRock, a leader in sustainable investing, the fund aims to balance financial returns with a positive societal impact… At an expense ratio of just 0.08%, iShares ESG Screened S&P 500 ETF is a cost-effective option for those who want to invest sustainably without significantly deviating from the performance of the traditional S&P 500 index. 4. Vanguard ESG US Stock ETF (ESGV) The Vanguard ESG US Stock ETF is one of the most popular options for investors looking to combine broad market exposure with ESG principles. It tracks the FTSE US All Cap Choice Index, which includes large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. companies that meet stringent ESG standards. Companies involved in activities such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and fossil fuels are excluded… Launched in September 2018, the Vanguard ESG US Stock ETF has gained popularity for its low expense ratio of just 0.09%. 5. NYLI Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (IQSU) The NYLI Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF offers a passive investment approach with a focus on U.S. large- and mid-cap equities that meet specific ESG criteria. It tracks the NYLI Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity Index, which leverages Candriam's leading ESG research to provide a diversified portfolio across various sectors. With an expense ratio of just 0.09%, the NYLI Candriam U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF stands out as a cost-effective, tax-sensitive investment option for those seeking to invest sustainably.

Her work features regularly in these podcasts and is found on zacks.com. Here are some quotes from her article. “1. Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) Based in Houston, TX, the company owns and operates power infrastructure, principally in the United States. On Sept. 5, 2024, Talen Energy announced that its board of directors has approved the upsizing of its previously announced share repurchase program, increasing the remaining capacity to $1.25 billion through the fourth quarter of 2026. This reflects the company's solid financial position.  Talen Energy boasts a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 140.71%... Talen currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). 2. FuelCell Energy (FCEL) Based in Danbury, CT, the company develops and markets ultra-clean power plants that generate electricity with up to twice the efficiency of conventional fossil fuel plants with virtually no air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. On Sept. 5, 2024, FuelCell Energy released its third-quarter fiscal 2024 results. Its generation revenues increased 22% year over year. As of July 31, 2024, its backlog increased approximately 12.6% to $1.20 billion.  FuelCell Energy boasts a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 18.75%. The consensus estimate for the company's 2025 sales is pegged at $2.29 billion, implying an improvement of 84.5% from the previous year's estimated figure.

The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Sustainable Investing ETFs for Ethical Portfolios The third article is also about sustainable ETFs. It's titled 3 Sustainable Investing ETFs for Ethical Portfolios and by Abhishek Bhuyan appearing on stocknews.com. Here's a brief quote from the article. “Sustainable investing involves aligning investments with ethical and environmental values, focusing on companies that meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria. Large-cap blends are a good choice because they offer stability, diversification, and long-term growth potential. Companies with solid track records and ESG practices can provide strong returns while minimizing risk. To that end, investors could look to invest in sustainable large-cap ETFs such as the iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF (DSI - Get Rating), Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV - Get Rating), and iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU - Get Rating) for an ethical portfolio.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ending Comment These are my top news stories with their stock and fund tips for this podcast “Sustainable ETFs for Sustainable Investors.

How can embracing your main character energy and taking up space transform your journey?  In this episode, Lily sits down with Krishan Trotman, VP and Publisher of Legacy Lit Books, to discuss the exciting journey of co-creating Lily's new book 'Thank You, More Please,' which hits shelves next week, June 11th.

In this episode, I chat with Jackie Simick, a business mentor and EFT tapping practitioner. Jackie shares her journey from the corporate world to her current business, which combines private equity business acumen with subconscious mindset tools. She explains how EFT tapping works and the importance of healing and facing negative emotions. Jackie also discusses attachment styles in relation to business and provides tips for anxious and avoidant attachment styles. Finally, she shares her systems and processes for consistency and empowerment in her own business.More about Jackie Simek:Jackie Simek is a business mentor and OG eft tapping practitioner who helps women who are all in scale to $30k months and beyond sustainably and internally regulated. She's the creator of the Attachment Style to Your Business Assessment and has helped 100's of women scale businesses that support a flexible lifestyle and exceed income targets. A former CPA, Jackie leverages her private equity business acumen with her expert subconscious mindset tools to offer 3 programs: Authority, Boss & Icon; as well as Thank You, More Please, a money mindset healing program and private, high-touch Partnership Coaching. TakeawaysEFT tapping is a technique that combines gentle tapping on specific points of the body with focused attention on negative emotions and beliefs. It helps to rewire the brain and release emotional blockages.It is important to embrace and heal negative emotions rather than trying to maintain a constant state of high vibes. This allows for a more authentic and grounded approach to personal and business growth.Attachment styles, which are typically associated with relationships, can also apply to our relationship with our business. Understanding our attachment style can help us identify patterns and behaviors that may be holding us back.For anxious attachment styles, it is important to build in touch points and feedback loops with clients, set boundaries, and learn to trust and empower your team.For avoidant attachment styles, it is important to delegate tasks, create systems and processes, and build trust with your team and clients.Implementing systems and processes, such as using a Gantt chart for project planning and identifying three non-negotiable tasks each day, can help create consistency and empowerment in your business. Consistency is key in business and personal life. Establishing sustainable systems and daily non-negotiable tasks ensures long-term successMeasuring data and being responsive to it allows for informed decision-making and system optimization. Regularly assess metrics and make necessary adjustments.Building a strong foundation is crucial for business and personal growth. Establishing systems and structures creates a solid base for success.Jackie Simek's Authority program helps experts position themselves as authorities in their industry and provides the necessary foundations for growth and success.Connect with Sam Whisnant:Website: https://www.systemswithsam.com/services Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/systemswithsam/ ​​Connect with Jackie Simek:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiesimek/ Resources from this episode:Attachment Style Quiz: https://bit.ly/BusinessAttachmentStyleQuiz

I was joined by Lily Womble, my favorite dating coach and founder of Date Brazen, a coaching framework that's helped hundreds of women around the world build a clear path to the best relationships of their lives with unconventional, feminist-led coaching. I got a sneak peek of Lily's upcoming book, “Thank You, More Please” which will be released in June.

You know I could talk about navigating the patriarchy all day, so this was a super fun conversation and you're going to love Lily's insights. Just a few things we talked about included: - How women are taught to people-please and caregive in order to survive - What internalized patriarchy is and how it affects your relationships - Why I believe dating doesn't end just because you're married - How to recast your spouse in a role that you both value - My take on why it feels like women have to do “all” the emotional labor  You don't settle in any other area of your life, so let's not start with your most important relationship.
