FSAs and HSAs have been a hot topic in recent months due to multiple legislative changes regarding deadlines and product eligibility. All of these changes have the potential to impact you if you don't fully understand them. Let’s get in the know with Rida Wong, President of Health-E Commerce, and understand the amazing financial benefits of HSAs and FSAs. Get this -More than 70 million Americans are currently enrolled in a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) which can help them save money on taxes every year and pay for healthcare expenses now and in retirement (for HSAs). Now, just like flavors of ice cream, HSAs and FSAs have some things in common and some things that differ. Once you’re in the know, you can choose what flavor of tax-advantaged account works for you. But what I love about each of these is the ability to use those tax-advantaged dollars (think of it like buying stuff at wholesale prices) for everyday purchases like band-aids, over-the-counter allergy meds, makeup wipes, lotion, and so much more. Our guest Rida is going to demystify it all.

No more blindly following what you’re are supposed to do. It’s time to get clear, find happiness, and ditch the idea of settling. So how do you do that? Our guest Tess Brigham (MFT, BCC) has a few words of wisdom to help you get there. May is mental health month and as someone who struggles with mental health, I thought we should have some conversations about it this month. In this episode, we’re talking about happiness. It feels sometimes like we’re always supposed to be happy, but you and I both know that’s not actually reality. On the other side of the coin, there’s a lot of people that believe you can never be happy. And that’s not true either. Somewhere in the middle is a place where happiness exists. The best part of happiness is that it can look different to you than it does to me. We get to define it and shape it. Meet Tess. Tess is a ‘Millennial Therapist’, an expert psychotherapist, certified life coach, and public speaker. She specializes in helping millennials discover their unique life path in order to go out into the world and make an impact. In this episode, she is sharing how to get super clear on what happiness looks like for YOU and some action steps to take to make it a reality.
