In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, Holistic Wealth Coach Paige Brettle talks about her transformation journey with the Institute on Holistic Wealth. Paige Brette is a Certified Holistic Wealth Coach/Consultant and Global Holistic Wealth Day Ambassador for Canada. Paige Brettle is on track to becoming a Master Coach/Consultant with the Institute on Holistic Wealth, having completed three certification programs with the Institute including the Certified Holistic Wealth Consultant Program, the Trauma of Money Certification program and the Holistic Healing Certification program. As a Global Holistic Wealth Day Ambassador for Canada, Paige outlines how the Institute on Holistic Wealth has transformed her journey as a financial advisor working in the field with women and finances.
In this interview, Paige outlines how the certification programs at the Institute on Holistic Wealth, have impacted her career journey and her life in general. To date, the Institute on Holistic Wealth has launched ten 10 coaching/certification programs related to Holistic Wealth and Holistic Living that allow learners to apply them in their careers and businesses for ongoing growth and transformation. Paige’s journey highlights the successes of the Institute on Holistic Wealth and the profound impact of the Institute on Holistic Wealth in the field.
In 2024, women continue to earn less money on the dollar than their male counterparts, meaning that women potentially may have less in retirement savings than men. A 2023 study from Pew Research Center found that white women earn about 83% of what men earn, but women of color earn even less — about 70% for Black women and 65% for Hispanic women. The gender pay gap often means that women have less to save and invest than men. The gender pay gap also results in women having less retirement income than men. It is against this backdrop that the Institute on Holistic Wealth has been training and empowering Holistic Wealth Coaches to empower their communities.
In Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book, the issues of income inequality, high debt and high levels of stress, anxiety and burnout are heavily discussed. Tune in to listen to this amazing episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with special guest Paige Brettle.

The post Holistic Wealth Podcast – “The Way We Live In The United States Is Not Normal (Why We Are Buying Land In Italy” with Kirsten Powers) appeared first on Holistic Wealth.
]]>Holistic Wealth urges us to shift our focus from a narrow pursuit of success, marked by stress and burnout towards a comprehensive approach that encompasses not only financial prosperity but also mental and physical well-being. Holistic Wealth is about cultivating a life where sustainable habits, meaningful relationships and personal fulfillment coalesce, creating a harmonious existence that transcends conventional norms and embraces a profound sense of fulfillment and joy. In essence, it’s a transformative journey towards a richer, more balanced life, recognizing that true wealth encompasses more than just monetary gains.
In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is former CNN Senior Political Analyst, Kirsten Powers. In this interview, Kirsten discussed her popular essay “The Way We Live in The United States Is Not Normal (Why We Are Buying Land in Italy)”. In her essay, Kirsten outlines that “something is deeply wrong with the United States, and I don’t want to live here anymore”. Kirsten outlines several moments of clarity that something was off in the country of her birth, including a moment on a flight home where she sat next to a Danish woman. In her essay, Kirsten states:
“Another clarifying moment occurred on a flight home from the 2016 New Hampshire primary. I was seated next to a Danish woman, a former mayor who was part of an international contingent observing American democracy in action.
People in Denmark are often ranked the happiest in the world. I asked her if this was true. She said she didn’t know if they were the happiest, but that they were happy. She ascribed this to the fact that their basic needs were met. Nobody worried about running out of money for retirement or whether they could attend college or afford health care. Because education was free and life was affordable, people chose careers based on their passions rather than on earning potential. Yes, they paid 50% in taxes but didn’t worry about having what they needed. Nobody graduated from college, saddled with the debt of a small nation”.
Capitalism Has Gone Off The Rails
Kirsten’s essay also points to hyper-capitalism that now exists with an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor:
“When I was growing up, the United States was a capitalistic country, but there were guardrails. They were not necessarily explicit, but they were understood to exist. Those guardrails are gone. Call it hyper-capitalism or late-stage capitalism, or whatever you want: there is no longer even the slightest sense of decency.
Now there is no shame in making 800 million times more than your average worker at your company, who you would lay off in a heartbeat if it were to your financial benefit—in fact, these people are often glorified as the epitome of the American Dream”.
“Meanwhile, the rest of America is drowning in credit card debt and running their bodies into the ground, chasing success and stability. Because everything is so expensive and our hyper-capitalist culture tells you your value and happiness are derived from your level of career accomplishment and acquisition of material goods, it starts to almost make sense that people would work so hard to achieve this identity for themselves”.
“The more we acquire, the more we achieve, the less happy we are. Only now, you also have the problem of cratering mental health and often some sort of chronic illness. We are not designed to live this way, and our bodies are here to remind us of this fact”.
In Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book, the issues of income inequality, high debt and high levels of stress, anxiety and burnout are heavily discussed. Kirsten’s substack essay illuminates the fact that holistic wealth is so critical – and that we need holistically wealthy societies. Tune in to listen to this amazing episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with special guest Kirsten Powers.

Happy New Year! As we step into the new year, it’s the perfect time to explore actionable strategies for opting into holistic wealth in 2024. In 2023, many people suffered the loss of loved ones, experienced grief and tragedy, and many others suffered from chronic illnesses or the breakdown of a relationship. With rising inflation in 2023, many people also suffered from financial hardships. Whatever your “white plastic bag moment”, (i.e. a moment of significant setback in life), this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, provides tips and strategies to bounce back and build resilience by opting into Holistic Wealth in 2024. Holistic living is a healthy way to live a balanced life and involves making intentional choices every day. This holistic lifestyle is an interconnected way of living that focuses on you as a whole and impacts your overall well-being.
What are “White Plastic Bag Moments”?
I coined the term ‘White plastic bag moments’ in a context that resonates with the depths of life’s unpredictability. In my viral article, I vividly recounted the heart-wrenching experience of losing my husband just three hours after entering a hospital. Three hours later I walked out of the hospital gripped by grief and holding a white plastic bag that the nurses gave me, containing his belongings, I emerged into a world forever altered. This pivotal moment, occurring only eight weeks after the birth of my second child, became the catalyst for this “white plastic bag” concept. ‘White plastic bag moments’ encapsulate those transformative instances when life, abruptly and irreversibly, takes an unexpected turn, leaving individuals grappling with the profound realization that their existence will never be the same again.

What You Will Learn:
The Holistic Wealth Approach:
Mindset Mastery:
Cultivate a positive mindset to attract abundance. Embrace the power of gratitude and mindfulness as essential components of holistic wealth. Start your day with affirmations and set the tone for prosperity. The Holistic Wealth Mindset outlines the benefits of embracing gratitude, especially during times of setbacks.
Opt out of Guilt and Shame:
Learn practical tips to opt out of shame, guilt and regret. Name those “dry bones” (i.e. negative emotions) name them, face them, and come to terms with them to powerfully move forward. This is all about reinvention and making space for what’s new in 2024.
Opt out of Comparison in 2024:
Opting out of comparison is critical to holistic wealth. Social comparison theory suggests that
individuals determine their own social and personal worth based on how they stack up against others. In a world connected through social media, the constant barrage of curated success and highlight reels, especially as we start the new year can fuel feelings of inadequacy and undermine your sense of accomplishment. It’s critical to be intentional about what we let into our sacred space in 2024.
Opt into Financial Fitness:
Learn practical financial tips to empower your holistic wealth journey. From budgeting and saving to having regular money date nights in 2024, discover how to build a solid financial foundation and achieve your money goals. Embracing your personal financial identity is also critical to financial self-care. The free Personal Financial Identity quiz is available on the Institute on Holistic Wealth website.
Opt into Positive Relationships:
Holistic wealth extends beyond finances, encompassing meaningful relationships. Learn about ways to nurture connections, build a supportive community, and foster personal growth through positive interactions. Toxic relationships are a drain on your energy and prevent you from achieving holistic wealth. Getting rid of toxic relationships helps you to get over the “white plastic bag moments” in life by tuning out negative messages and emotions and being laser-focused on your goals and life purpose.
Opt into Spiritual Self-Renewal:
Spiritual renewal is critical for maintaining hope and motivation during difficult times. Prayer, meditation, mindfulness and tuning in to your innermost thoughts and desires helps you to overcome the “white plastic bag moments” in life. Spiritual self-renewal is the nucleus for your mission and purpose in life. It allows us to breathe life into our purpose.
Opt into Living Life on Your Terms in 2024:
Staying in alignment with your values and living a life that is true to your goals and personal mission. Walking in alignment with your purpose starts with getting in alignment and living a life of integrity.
Opt into Continuous Learning:
Sharpen your skills and expand your knowledge base. Invest in personal and professional development, highlighting the correlation between learning and holistic wealth.
Health is Wealth:
Prioritize physical and mental well-being. Learn strategies to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, nutritious eating, and mindfulness practices.

How To Have A Money Date Night – Holistic Wealth Podcast with Keisha Blair
What are Money Date Nights? Understanding Money Date Nights:
A “money date night” refers to a deliberate and scheduled time set aside by individuals or couples to engage in open and constructive conversations about their finances. During these sessions, participants discuss financial goals, budgets, spending habits, future money plans, upcoming expenses, and any other relevant money-related topics. The purpose of a money date night is to foster communication, build financial intimacy, align financial priorities, and work together towards shared financial objectives. It provides a structured and intentional space for discussing money matters, helping individuals and couples navigate financial decisions and strengthening their overall financial well-being. Knowing your personal financial identity is critical for money date nights. The Institute on Holistic Wealth has a free Personal Financial Identity Quiz.
Money date nights are more than just a financial check-in with your partner; they are intentional, dedicated moments to foster open communication and strengthen the financial bond within your relationship. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, we emphasized the importance of setting aside time regularly to align financial goals, discuss budgets, and nurture shared aspirations. (See sample agenda below).
Personal Financial Identity and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:
In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, we outlined the connection between Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid and understanding your personal financial identity. The pyramid, ranging from basic needs like physiological requirements to higher-order needs like self-actualization, provides a framework for assessing the role of money in our lives. Knowing your personal financial identity, especially in the context of belonging, love, and security, is fundamental to achieving a sense of fulfillment and financial well-being.
Understanding your personal financial identity is akin to unlocking the key to your financial well-being and fulfillment. This understanding becomes particularly crucial when viewed through the lens of belonging, love, and security – fundamental aspects that shape our relationships, emotional well-being, and overall sense of fulfillment. This importance is amplified in the context of couples, where differing money mindsets are prevalent, with studies suggesting that around 80% of couples have varying approaches to finances.
1. Belonging:
Impact on Relationships: Your personal financial identity influences how you perceive your role within a relationship. It defines your contribution to shared financial goals and how you navigate financial decisions as a couple.
Building Trust: Understanding each other’s financial identities fosters trust and a sense of belonging within the relationship. It allows you to align your financial goals, work towards shared aspirations, and build a future together.
- Love:
Expression of Values: Your personal financial identity is often an expression of your values. Understanding and aligning your values with your partner’s creates a foundation for shared financial values, reinforcing the love and connection within the relationship.
Navigating Challenges: Knowing each other’s financial identities enables couples to navigate financial challenges with empathy and understanding. It promotes a supportive environment where love can flourish even during times of financial stress.
- Security:
Financial Security: Your financial identity is closely linked to your sense of financial security. Understanding your partner’s financial identity helps in creating a secure financial foundation, providing stability and peace of mind.
Planning for the Future: Knowing each other’s perspectives on financial security allows couples to plan for the future collaboratively. This includes setting aside savings, planning for major life events, and building a financial safety net.
- Fulfillment:
Alignment with Personal Goals: Understanding your personal financial identity enables you to align your financial decisions with your individual goals and aspirations. This alignment is crucial for personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
Embracing a Holistic Wealth Mindset: Incorporating the principles of holistic wealth into your financial identity ensures that your financial decisions contribute not only to monetary gain but also to overall well-being, personal growth, and meaningful experiences.
- Differing Money Mindsets in Couples:
Common Challenges: The prevalence of differing money mindsets in couples often leads to challenges such as conflicting financial priorities, communication gaps, and misunderstandings.
Importance of Communication: Understanding your personal financial identity and communicating openly about it with your partner is the antidote to these challenges. It lays the groundwork for compromise, shared decision-making, and mutual respect.
Coping with Money Trauma:
This Holistic Wealth podcast episode explores the therapeutic nature of money date nights in coping with previous money trauma. By engaging in open and honest conversations about financial history, fears, and aspirations, negative money messages, couples can create a safe space for healing. It’s important to acknowledge past money traumas, whether from personal experiences or generational patterns, to break the cycle and build a healthier financial future and build generational wealth.
Trauma of Money Certification Program:
It’s important to take the next step in your financial healing journey by enrolling in the Trauma of Money Certification Program. This comprehensive program, offered by the Institute on Holistic Wealth, provides participants with the tools and insights needed to overcome money trauma and establish a foundation for lasting financial well-being.

The post BEST BOOK OF 2023 – HOLISTIC WEALTH EXPANDED AND UPDATED BY KEISHA BLAIR appeared first on Holistic Wealth.
]]>It’s important to also acknowledge a painful truth—historically, female writers haven’t always received the recognition they deserve. This is especially so for under-represented female writers who face multiple barriers from publication to continued plagiarism and erasure of their work. Continuing to support and amplify female and marginalized voices is critically important.
The Journey of Holistic Wealth
Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated delves deep into the themes of holistic well-being, cultivating resilience, overcoming disruption, and guiding readers on a path to a more fulfilled, balanced, and purposeful life. This book has touched the hearts and minds of many, transforming lives and igniting the spark of personal growth. It’s an honour to have this work acknowledged as the Best Book of the Year, but this achievement is a reminder that the literary world is not immune to gender disparities.
The Gender Gap in Literature
Historically, the literary world has been plagued with gender disparities, where the work of female writers often remained in the shadows, overlooked and underestimated. This gender gap has persisted for centuries, with women writers struggling to gain equal footing in an industry dominated by male voices. The recognition and acclaim they deserved were often overshadowed by bias and discrimination.
Breaking Barriers and Shattering Ceilings
The publication of the first book on Holistic Wealth in 2019, broke barriers and shattered glass ceilings. In celebrating the success of “Holistic Wealth,” we also celebrate the tireless efforts of female authors who have paved the way for recognition in the world of literature. Their determination, resilience, and unwavering dedication have led to a shift in the narrative.
The Global Holistic Wealth Movement
The recognition of “Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated” as the Best Book of the Year is also a time of reflection on the journey. As a trained Economist, I coined the term Holistic Wealth with the publication of the first book on the subject back in 2019. That book led to the global holistic wealth movement, the holistic wealth podcast, the establishment of the Institute on Holistic Wealth and Global Holistic Wealth Day (celebrated every year on April 9th). The publication of the Holistic Wealth Workbook as well as the Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book have further cemented and popularized the term holistic wealth, which is now a global phenomenon.
Thank you for being a part of this journey, and for championing Holistic Wealth in the lives of your loved ones and institutions. If you haven’t yet read the book, get your copy here. If you have read the book, but haven’t yet shared a review, you can do so here.
