what matters

140   We all want a life full of what is most important to us, full of “Wealth” of the emotional, relational, and also financial, kind–or what my guest, Mark Yegge, a “wealth architect” and money manager, calls “balanced abundance”.

In other words, we want the wealth of feeling good, feeling secure, feeling healthy, feeling connected, loved, and fulfilled in this life. There is solid research that proves this.

Even Einstein, the most brilliant scientific mind of his time, was super clear about what actually makes humans feel most alive and abundant. (In this episode we share the most beautiful secret letter he wrote to his daughter—it will truly just melt your heart!!)

Unfortunately, because of the culture we live in, it’s easy to end up (almost by accident) over-focusing on things that don't actually lead us to that happiness and fulfillment. That lead, instead, to what I call Emotional Poverty. Mark and I have both seen all too many people lose track of what most matters to them by over-focusing on the pursuit of a successful career and financial abundance (or what we think is just financial security), while under-focusing on the things that actually bring them Emotional wealth and TRUE security.

Since you're here, you have a pretty good sense that relationships are a prime way to the happiness and meaning you want in this life. But you're likely (even to just a small degree) to fall under the influence of cultural programming that, by no fault of our own, distracts you from being able to make your important relationships the truly fulfilling and life-giving ones you know they are meant to be.

Luckily, it’s not so hard to re-align with what matters most to you, which is HOW you will be able to bring more TRUE WEALTH, the kind that matters most to YOU,  into your life, starting today. It can just take a bit of remembering –and intention.

So listen to this fun, laughter-filled, not-to-be-missed  conversation,  where Mark and I dive straight into the heart of all of this. You’ll come away with your heart energized and a surge of motivation to bring what most matters to YOU alive in your life, so you can feel genuinely happier and more fulfilled --and wealthy in all ways--as an HSP.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Spirituality and religion play an important role in many people’s lives—but they may not feel comfortable bringing up these topics with their care providers. As we continue to look at ways to better support your health and well-being, Dr. Mary Jo Kreitzer and Reverend Brian Hughes join our hosts for a discussion about how spirituality and religion affect health care—and how to get the conversation started.

HIGHLIGHTS:

04:10 Interview: Dr. Mary Jo Kreitzer, Director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality & Healing | Dr. Kreitzer has spent much of her career as a physician, educator, and researcher studying the connection between our spiritual practice and our health. She talks about the importance of asking the question “what matters?” when it comes to health and health care, instead of the traditional question, “what’s the matter?”

024:35 Interview: Rev. Brian Hughes, spiritual care specialist and chaplain at UnitedHealth Group | Rev. Hughes shares anecdotes from his personal experiences as a hospital chaplain, including what it’s like to put aside his own perspective and focus on being present for another person in need.

Understanding how to find success in your life to be successful.

What matters to you? Do you know? Are you sure you know what it is? Now these last couple of weeks, I don't know if you noticed a theme popping up throughout a couple of episodes, but it's clarity, just being clear and knowing different parts of our life and things that matter to us. And so today's clarity  the focus I would love to have you look at or to have clarity on is what matters to you. Do you know what that is? Are you clear on what matters to you?

Today I am speaking with Julie. She is a loving wife, a devoted mom, and a high achieving professional. Julie always pushes herself to be the best she can be in order to reach her full potential. She is very driven, and always wanted to invest in her career. However, she reached a point where she realized investing in her career meant a lack of investing time with her children and family. She also noticed that she was in need of deep connections with other women. I know she is not the only mama out there who has wrestled with these decisions. Check out this episode to learn more about what Julie decided to do, and how she came to her decisions.

When we're feeling stressed out, we're usually feeling something worrisome about the future. In many cases, too, it's shame and trauma from our pasts. The things that carry heaviness in our bodies and minds every single day. To go within brings us back to the present moment; embracing what's around and within us as they happen. By not staying present, we're losing touch with what matters most to all of us. And with that, comes our unhappiness and chronic pains. Once you create that habit for yourself to go within and be mindful of what's happening this very second; closing your eyes and asking, "What is my body feeling, right now?", "When did this agitated feeling start for me, today?", "What am I surrounded by, right now?", we get that sense of presence back. Our minds quiet down and that overwhelming burn in our minds and bodies starts to simmer. That's where your peace begins. Imagine that becoming a natural state, for you? 

In this podcast, we'll be talking about how going within and finding that mindful presence is so much simpler than you might think. And perhaps help guide you from anxiety to a NATURAL state of peace.

Please meet my guest who's approaching life and the practice of medicine with love and respect, Michael D. Fratkin, MD is a builder, an innovator and a dreamer.

He has been a transformative and provocative voice for improving the experience of people and families facing the completion of their lives while ensuring that the meaningful professional experiences of those providing care is of equal importance.
