Financial wellness is like a fitness plan to improve your relationship with money, no matter what your financial situation is. Understandably, all of us have money worries now and again. But just like how eating healthily and exercising makes us feel good in our bodies, positive money habits help us feel financially well. Like a fitness plan, financial wellness covers routines and behaviors that make you feel more satisfied with your financial situation: whether feeling secure in your financial future or paying bills on time. And, of course, being able to afford things you enjoy, from holidays to the occasional shopping binge. Tomorrow we welcome Lawrence Sprung.

He and the team consistently help clients make healthy financial decisions and offer a tremendous client experience that leverages today’s top tools and technology.

Man is considered the most intelligent amongst all animals. Hence, human beings are not only superior but also evolved, and civilized. Civilisation has seen a stark evolution over many decades now for us to stand where we are today. How we perceive "today" and being "evolved" is very subjective. Looking around in our own vicinity, with the rise of crime, our immediate environment compromised for selfish motives, spoilt habits and unnecessarily luxurious lifestyles, also living with societal prejudices about gender, religion, and caste, are we really as evolved as we think we are? We are joined by Donald Conte who is a Professor Emeritus, Department of Earth Sciences, California University of Pennsylvania. A consultant, a author and researcher. He also runs a blog called http://thisisnotyourpracticelife.com/.

Facial expression recognition is mediated by a distributed neural system in humans that involves multiple, bilateral regions. There are six basic facial expressions that may be recognized in humans (fear, sadness, surprise, happiness, anger, and disgust); however, fearful faces and surprised faces are easily confused in rapid presentation. In today's episode, Jake explains how the concept of surprise and fear is relevant to many aspects of human behavior. It also affects beliefs about other events. When a person takes an unexpected stance that violates his or her self-interest, the person’s arguments are surprising and quite often more persuasive.

Today, Jake breaks down the 4th part of Understanding Emotions. He discusses Disgust and Contempt. Analyzing the contempt as an intergroup emotion, we suggest that contempt and anger are not built upon each other, whereas disgust seems to be the most elementary and specific basic-emotional antecedent of contempt. Want to enjoy positive work relationships, healthy relationships with friends, family and partners? Dump the contempt. Listen well. And pump up the positivity! When those more vulnerable feelings are explored in safety and grieved dyadically, a corrective emotional experience may occur. You can’t build a temple of appreciation without fully excavating the building site.

In today's episode Jake discusses potentially the unhealthy cycles of shame and guilt. We encourage you to think of instances in your life where you may be requiring deed based performances from people in order for you to extend forgiveness, and ask yourself are these deeds really necessary for you to forgive them? Similar to respect and trust, it is up to us to extend these to people. Is it really necessary for us to require people to ‘earn’ these things from us with an arbitrary deed? On the flip side, maybe you think certain people in your life are requiring too much from you. Jake gives everyday examples of where this may occur and delves deeper into forgiveness and the emotions of shame and guilt.

This will be the start of our 6 part series on emotion functioning, where Jake will dive deep into each emotion. Understanding emotions can help you move through life with intention and compassion for yourself and others. Today we begin with Sadness and Anger. Everyday frustrations, disappointments, work-life balance, financial stress or grief can cause an individual to feel sad. People are entitled to feel and express sadness. Yet sadness It’s an emotion that helps us relieve stress, empathise with other people and makes us think about what we really want in life Anger is an emotion that everyone has experienced. Something or someone has made you frustrated, infuriated, irritated, annoyed or just plain angry. This episode aims to illustrate the significant role that anger contributes to motivation and if your motivation is not to make change, then you might need to let go of your anger because anger should always serve an intentional purpose.

Dating is a funny old business. Add in the wide range of dating apps and the whole process becomes a lot more complicated. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, there are now so many social networking options where you can meet and talk to new people, that you can whizz through hundreds of new faces without even thinking about it. It’s like speed dating on steroids. Dating apps have spent the last decade persuading us to date online, wiping away the stigma that clung to the practice from its origins in the original dot-com era. Couples are now more likely to form a relationship through online dating than any other avenue, according to a 2019 Stanford study. Talking up someone at a bar let alone finding someone through friends, family or work can seem as quaint as a love sonnet or waiting for marriage to have sex. On today's episode we welcome Adam Sikorski & Angel Littlefield who have a conversation about their experiences in the dating world through the different dating apps. They share what they have encountered and communicate what impact it has brought up in their own lives.

For some people, merely recalling a traumatic event feels just like going through it all over again. Psychotherapy and some other strategies can help. At some time in life, at least half of us will live through a terrifying event in which we experience, are threatened by, or witness grave physical harm. The stress of a life-threatening trauma takes time to ease, whether it arises from a car accident, assault, rape, terrorist attack, combat, or a natural disaster, such as the Asian tsunami and its aftermath. Most people recover with the support of family and friends, but some develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an anxiety disorder that may last a lifetime if appropriate help is not available. In today's episode we welcome Eddie Davenport who is a clinical social worker student. Eddie speaks to us about his journey of overcoming his PTSD.

Mindfulness is a simple and very powerful practice of training our attention. It’s simple in that it’s really just about paying attention to what’s happening here and now (i.e. sensations, thoughts, and emotions) in a non-judgemental way. It’s powerful because it can interrupt the habit of getting lost in thoughts, mostly about the future or past, which often generates more stress on top of the real pressures of everyday life. In today's episode we welcome Colleen Caminisch. Jake and Colleen speak more about MBSR. They talk about the effects of meditation through mindfulness and how you can incorporate this practice in your everyday life.

2020. Worst year ever. You've heard that, haven't you? Maybe even said it. I hear it from friends and on social media, from commentators on the news. It's the name of a podcast. If any year ever feels like the worst, it’s mostly because our brains have a tendency to judge the present more harshly. Unfettered media consumption skews our perception, and it becomes easy to slide into unhealthy patterns of belief. You don’t have to pull the plug on your whole digital life to get a better outlook on the year. According to experts, learning to tame your persistent negative beliefs or your penchant for looking at the past through rose colored glasses could act as a much needed respite from this year’s stress. On today's episode Jake will talking about this year from his perspective and bring out the joy to be found during this year and reflect on the things that have been positive.

Today we are joined by two great Gentleman. We welcome Pat Cashell and Austin Pollard to our show. They discuss homelessness and addiction. Tragically, homelessness and addiction go hand in hand. The end result of homelessness is often substance abuse, and substance abuse often contributes to homelessness. The National Coalition for the Homeless has found that 38% of homeless people are alcohol dependent, and 26% are dependent on other harmful chemicals. In addition to suffering mental illness, homeless individuals suffering mental conditions are more likely to be victims of assault, further needing the comfort they temporarily find in harmful substances. Homeless individuals suffering difficult mental and emotional conditions may find it convenient to self-medicate with harmful substances as well. The combination of mental disorders and substance abuse is known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. While it may seem that difficult mental conditions can be suppressed by drugs and alcohol use, this actually creates a destructive cycle of dependency. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Human trafficking is a crime that forcefully exploits women, men, and children. According to the United Nations, human trafficking affects every country in the world, but it’s not talked about enough. So we’re talking about it. Trafficking involves transporting someone into a situation of exploitation. This can include forced labor, marriage, prostitution, and organ removal. This kind of exploitation is known by a few different names -- “human trafficking,” “trafficking of persons,” and “modern slavery” are the ones accepted by the US Department of State. It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery today. Assessing the full scope of human trafficking is difficult because so cases so often go undetected, something the United Nations refers to as “the hidden figure of crime. In today's episode, we joined by John Malcolm and Ron Toft where they discuss in depth trafficking and modern day slavery. Today’s show is brought to you by Audible.

Many people consider committing suicide at some point in their lives. If you’re having suicidal thoughts, know that you’re not alone. You should also know that feeling suicidal isn’t a character flaw, and it doesn’t mean you’re crazy or weak. It only signifies that you’re experiencing more pain or sadness than you can cope with right now. There’s no single reason why someone may try to take their own life. However, certain factors can increase the risk. Someone may be more likely to attempt suicide if they have a mental health disorder. In fact, over 90 percent of people who commit suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death. Depression is the top risk factor, but many other mental health disorders can contribute to suicide, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In today’s episodes Jake discusses suicidal thoughts. He gives us steps we can handle our emotional waves that occur in our lives when we experience these thoughts. Remember that problems are temporary, but suicide is permanent. Taking your own life is never the right solution to any challenge you may be facing.

Have you ever felt like you are just going through the motions of your day, not fully engaged with your life? In today’s episode Jake discusses a topic that would need you engagement. Take some time to consider what you value most in different areas of your life, relationships, work, leisure time. How might these values motivate you to take small actions, to bring you closer to living the life that you want today? How might focusing on these values help you do something new and step out of your comfort zone in some way? Jake gives us some examples of parts of our lives that used to have value like, watching TV together as a family, waiting for either that new album or song to purchase to name a few. Are we just going through our lives without intentionality? How is this effecting us in other areas of our live? How grateful are we of our experiences? We would love to hear your thoughts and input!
