Welcome to another insightful episode of "Monday Mindset." Today, I dive deep into the intricate world of emotions and unveil how your unique relationship with your feelings can become your superpower. In a world that often defines normalcy in emotions, I challenge you to embrace your individual emotional experiences without judgment.

This episode highlights that we all experience emotions differently. Some of us are highly sensitive, while others may not appear emotionally sensitive at all. This episode passionately argues that there's no problem with either approach; it's just our way of navigating the emotional landscape.

This episode stresses the importance of recognizing that our emotional experiences fluctuate from day to day; we are not robots. Some days, certain things may deeply affect us, while on others, they won't faze us at all. I share my personal experience of accepting my emotional intensity and I offer guidance on how to handle those overwhelming days.

For those who may feel they experience emotions less intensely, I remind you that there will still be moments when we feel empty or numb. Learning to build capacity for all emotional states is essential.

In a world that often demands emotional resilience and capacity, this episode encourages us to honor our unique emotional journeys and equip ourselves with the necessary tools to navigate them effectively. Tune in and discover how embracing your emotions can indeed be your superpower. Don't miss out on this empowering episode of "Monday Mindset."

If you find yourself venting or complaining, you are definitely not alone.  It is very human to want to tell the story of how things are going wrong in your life.  It can also feel like you need to be validated in this.  But I need you to know that it's probably creating more problems than it's actually helping. This episode is going to dig deep into why we complain and what we are searching for when we do it.  Then I am going to show you exactly why you want to stop any time you notice it and exactly how to do that too.

In this episode Reggie and Jason talk about the relationship between money, happiness, and mental health. While money can increase happiness up to a certain point, beyond that, it doesn't necessarily lead to increased happiness. Financial stability can improve mental health outcomes, but it's not the only factor. 

Are you settling?  Do you think your life is "as good as it's going to get"?  What if you're wrong?  I'm willing to bet that you are.  Your life can be incredible, no matter what.  No matter what's happened, no matter the mistakes you've made, no matter what anybody else says.   Listen in to find out more.

I think we can all agree that 2020, so far, has been one big dumpster fire.  Never have I ever looked more forward to an end-of-the-year New Year’s celebration as I have this year.  And its only August!  Every Dec 31st, New Year’s Eve revelers eagerly chuck out the old and welcome, with open arms, the hope of a better year and a fresh new start.  Wow, am I really looking forward to that and I suspect that I am not alone in that sentiment! 

The dumpster fire that is 2020, has brought about many conversations with clients about becoming “safer” within their investment strategy to avoid another meltdown like we saw between Feb 19th – Mar 23rd of this year, where the S&P 500 Index dropped 34% in a matter of 33 short days.  It was by all definition a full-fledged panic!  And like all panics, the aftermath, and the emotional damage done to your investment psyche can trigger thoughts of “seeking out safety” to ensure that the pain caused by the quicksand of panic is never felt again.  

I want to preface the rest of my diatribe by simply stating that I do not wish to discount those that are rethinking their level of “safety” within their investments strategies. Rather, I would suggest that it may be better for an investor to understand how their investments will behave in bad times as well as in good times!   I humbly suggest that reacting to current events rather than being proactive in understanding the potential impact on your investments BEFORE they happen, may be a recipe for disaster within your financial plan.  Safety can be an important part of a well thought out asset allocation plan guided by the financial goals in your overall financial plan.   

However, invariably a byproduct of panic is to re-evaluate how much risk you are taking, and how much “safety” you should have in our own investment strategies.  You can’t avoid the conversation around “safety” because it surrounds the investor during times of panic:  it’s in the headlines, the media, and even with casual conversations with neighbors, family or friends.  “Safety” has traditionally meant investing in bonds, where the investment mantra has always been that bonds can be a best friend to the investor seeking “safety”.  

But unfortunately, the math of “safety” from bonds simply doesn’t work.  

As many of you know, my background in engineering has given me a great respect for math and the precise results from its calculations that can’t be changed by either rhetoric or narrative.  It’s simple:  Math doesn’t lie, narrative does.    

As I write this the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yields about 0.63% (source:MarketWatch), which in itself is not that attractive especially if you’re looking for a higher yield.  What is another option you ask?  Well, you might look at the 30-yr U.S. Treasury Bond, which currently is yielding around 1.4% (source:MarketWatch).  Now, given the panic-stricken levels in the equity indexes between February and March those yields look certainly better than the alternative, don’t they?  Panic has a way of distorting reality for investors.  There’s more to the story here, that more often than not, simply goes overlooked.

Let’s start off by looking at purchasing power.  After all, what good is a rate of return, if you can’t keep pace with the cost of e

We talk about one of the biggest unknowns in retirement – It’s psychological impact.  Finding your personal “why” in retirement may help you transition to a happy and healthy retirement.  I share some practical ideas that may help you find your “why” in retirement. 

Many people have no idea who Tom Clancy was, nor what he did.  He was neither a politician, a philosopher, or a hero.  He was very simply a voice of hope, when none existed.  Who exactly was Tom Clancy you ask?  Well, Mr. Clancy was an American radio personality best remembered for his distinctive 1971 remix of the 1965 popular song “What the World needs Now is Love”. 
His rendition came at a time when the despair felt by Americans seemed overwhelming.  The War in Vietnam was not going well, and social unrest was seemingly a daily occurrence in every major city. 
At that moment in time, Mr. Clancy chose to focus on hope not hate, he chose to focus on tolerance rather than intolerance.  He chose the right message at the right time, and made one of the most iconic recordings in the 1970’s that is certainly applicable for today.
I’m sure we all can agree that in the annals of history, 2020 is likely to go down as one long, drawn out, miserable dumpster fire of a year.  Not only did we battle (and are still battling) with an epidemic, mix in massive amounts of social unrest, economic instability, and is if this dumpster fire needed any more fuel, add in a toxic and contentious Presidential election, where partisan politics is not only dividing friends, but sometimes whole families.  Mix that all together, and you get 2020 – a.k.a. “The imperfect year of the perfect dumpster fire”.
With unyielding pressure from all forms of social media, from the headlines, and even from family or friends, it seems as though we are buried under an avalanche of fear and negativity.  Tolerance has succumbed to intolerance.  Hope has been replaced by hopelessness.  
Well, today, I choose to follow Mr. Clancy’s’ message of Love and Hope rather than hopelessness and intolerance.  I choose the light over the dark, and to rejoice in today and the promise of tomorrow rather than to live in the past.  
How did we ever lose sight of how much better our lives have gotten?  Why did we forget to appreciate how far we’ve come as humans?  
Why have we forgotten that over the last 2 centuries (a small blip in the timeline of human history) that human civilization has seen massive reductions in extreme poverty, huge advances in literacy, more political and economic freedoms, where we are living longer than at any other time in history, and that our global infrastructure for educating mankind, has NEVER been greater?  
Two hundred years ago, only a privileged few were not living in extreme poverty.  For all the ills of capitalism and industrialization, increased productivity made it possible to steadily lift more and more people out of extreme poverty.  As recent as 1950 75% of the world were still living in extreme poverty.  But today, those living in extreme poverty are now less than 10%.  Where’s that headline?  
Only two hundred years ago where only a few of the elite were able to read, has today become   8 out of every 10 people on earth are literate.  Once again, no mention of that anywhere.
The progress made in human health is simply astonishing over the last two centuries.  In 1800, more than 40% of the world’s newborns died before the age of five.  Modern medicines, in addition to our increased knowledge of germ and diseases, have increased the average life expectancy from 32.5 years to 78.9 years.  Global life expectancy has more than doubled in 200 short years.  Never before in our history has that happened.  
In spite of the rather combative partisan political environment we are currently mired in, just 200 years ago a majority of the worlds’ humans lived under dictatorships and autocracies.  Today, 4 out of 5 still living in autocracies live in China Today, democracy and political freedom are the norms.
