Are You Listening To Me?

We spend a lot of time planning for our careers, special occasions, and events, but we spend very little time creating a plan for our money. Despite America being deemed one of the wealthiest countries, U.S. workers are living paycheck to paycheck, racking up debt, having little or no savings, and having no plan for retirement. 

People spend a lot of time being anxious and worrying about money, which can lead to mental health challenges or make existing mental health challenges worse. This further impacts our work performance, physical health, and, let's not forget, relationships. According to our guest, money mentor, coach, and accounting and tax doctor, Dakota Grady, America is in a financial crisis, but there is hope.  In this episode, we discuss:

• Is America really in a financial crisis? 
• Bouncing back after losing your job. 
• Why you need a money plan.
• Should you use cash or credit?
• What a rainy day fund is, how to create one, and so much more. 

If you are worried about debt, retirement, and your financial future, tune in as Dakota shares tips and strategies to help you begin to get your financial house in order.

Imagine working closely with individuals whose actions determine whether you live or die. Or you frequently work long hours in high-stress, high-paced environments, sometimes in isolated locations far away from friends and family. Maybe you have had to miss special occasions, your child's memorable first, or you have had to work during the holidays. Many spend years in careers like this, and their experience shapes who they become. These individuals, Veterans, are those who have served in the United States military. 

Individuals transitioning from the military can lose a part of themselves. According to the 2021 census, only 6.4% of the nation's adult population has served in the military. This creates a unique population that shares a common bond. However, many in society do not understand this experience, which makes it difficult for Veterans to transition back into society. This includes returning to what some would call a normal civilian life, obtaining a job, navigating family dynamics, and even attending college.

In this episode,  Corporate Coach for Veterans Ahmad Burse joins us to discuss the Veteran transition. We talk about:

• The first 90 days after separating 
• Challenges transitioning service members have  
• What it really means to say, "Thank you for your service,"
• Do all Veterans have some trauma they need to deal with
• Three things are Veterans need to have 
• Key things employers need to consider when hiring or recruiting  Veterans
• Advice for those working side by side with Veterans and more...

Tune in as we dive into Veterans' challenges when transitioning from the military, starting a new career, and how employers can create an inclusive environment that welcomes those who have served our country.

Relationships are hard these days.  It is hard to find someone you want to be with, and it is hard to maintain the relationship. Too often, people will find out too late, after they say I do, that the person they married is not their person. Or we stay in relationships that are destructive and drain every ounce of life out of us. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. But if you peel the layers back, and you are honest, you will admit we don’t take time to do the work to prepare us to be in a healthy, viable, and adventurous relationship. 

In this episode, men’s mental health coach and transformative leader William Baptiste joins us to talk about what it takes to become a husband. He believes the work starts way before you say  I do, and you don’t have to be getting married or even thinking about getting married – the work still needs to be done.  We discuss: 
 

• The process of becoming a husband, 
• Walking in the spirit of a husband vice the spirit of a boyfriend,
• The true meaning of being a protector, 
• When and should a woman submit to a man,
• Don't confuse capability with trauma bonding,
• Stop ignoring the yellow flags, 
• The importance of making peace with your past and so much more...

This is the first episode in a series in which Will and Carolyn dive deep into relationships, and they will be bringing the heat.  So sit back and tune in as they get HOT - Honest, Open, and Transparent.
