EPISODE 8: PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY
If you read one book on money, let it be The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel. Admittedly, we find most books on finance to be daunting or overly complicated – but not this one. This book is different from all the other financial freedom and money books as it delves into the fascinating WHY behind how we make our spending and saving decisions. Without understanding what motivates our financial behaviors, we are unable to make changes for the better – but empowered with the knowledge of what attitudes are behind our decisions helps to create real change for the...

Tune into this week’s episode as French and Yel continue their healing and self improvement journeys – all the way to Cancun, to attend one of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s weeklong advanced meditation retreats.

Would we do it again? Abs...

EPISODE 4: ATOMIC HABITS

Trying to make some changes in your life? Welcome to the club!

EPISODE 3: The 12 Week Year

Ever wondered how some people seem to get SO much done in such a short period of time? Enter the book ‘The 12 Week Year,’ by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington.

What we love most about The 12 Week Year is how it is so specific on breaking down the path to achieving your goals, and also how it’s all about fo...
