By the time this episode is released, I sure hope we have an answer to who won the 2024 presidential election.

I wanted to take a few minutes to explain my strategy of how I have handled this current election cycle, highlighting what I have done and, more importantly what I have not done.

While tuning out the noise of the election is hard, patience and long-term strategies must win out vs. over-reactive decision-making based on political outcomes. Market performance is not solely dictated by what party is in power but rather by fundamental company performance and economic indicators.

I encourage you to focus on your financial plan and the best ways to achieve it through our spending, savings, and investment strategies.

Dr. Teryn Clarke – Building Healthy Habits: Overcoming Fear and Anxiety Through Tiny Changes

Do you ever wonder why fear takes over when trying to gain traction when it comes to your physical or financial health?

Dr. Teryn Clake, our resident neurologist expert, is back to discuss why negative feedback loops are stronger than positive ones, making change difficult.

Making changes is challenging due to the conflict between the primitive "lizard brain" (focused on immediate gratification) and the human prefrontal cortex (capable of long-term planning). Successful habit formation requires a three-pronged approach: resetting mindset, implementing tiny habits, and providing self-rewards.

With insights from books like "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, Dr. Teryn explains how tiny, incremental changes can lead to significant, lasting improvements. Additionally, we cover how visualizing long-term success and using practical tools like habit trackers can help solidify new behaviors.

Listen as we uncover strategies for overcoming fear to harness the benefits of time and compounding in health and finances.

Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Teryn Clake.

Every day, we are surrounded by our emotions. But how can we use our emotions as information rather than be bullied by them?

Our resident therapist expert, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, joins us once again to discuss the concept of emotions as information and explore how our feelings significantly impact our financial decisions, careers, and overall life choices.

Dr. Jen shares practical techniques to navigate powerful emotions like fear and anger, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness, grounding, and understanding our values. She also introduces the concept of agency, helping us recognize that we have more control over our lives than we might realize.

Whether you're dealing with a career setback, relationship challenges, or just seeking to improve your emotional intelligence, this conversation offers invaluable insights and actionable advice. We also highlight the crucial role of a supportive inner circle and how to effectively utilize our emotions to make better decisions and move forward.

Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Jennifer Dragonette.
