How to build wealth: My journey beyond the American dream – Nicky Hassaballa

When I was young, I remember hearing other kids say, “I want to be rich when I grow up so that I can buy whatever I want.”  Daily, I see how we are being sold the “American Dream” by showing us how we can make money, and when we make that money, we are shown what we can buy with that money, and after we buy that luxury car and home with a pool, we are told we will reach the height of our happiness in life.  I bought into that dream but didn’t realize it.  Being a first-generation American influences the relationship you have with money. I was frugal from a young age; I would put money into my savings with every paycheck and contribute to my 401k.  The times I would spend money on myself were far and few between because I had to be sure that I had enough money in case of...

7 Best Ways to Care for a Parent without Burning Yourself Out – Christina Collison

Have you noticed yourself providing more help and support than ever to your parents? Are you finding it tiring and upsetting? Writer Christina Collison, who cared for her late mum for ten years, advises on providing the best care for your parents without jeopardising your well-being. Sooner or later, it comes to most of us. As children, we were used to our parents taking care of us. As young adults, it’s common to continue to rely on our parents for emotional support and guidance.

Mental Health IS Wealth – Dr. Catherine Jackson

How To Keep Your Pelvic Floor Health For Life – Kim Vopni

While most people have heard the term pelvic floor, many don’t realize what the pelvic floor does on a daily basis. Your pelvic floor is working 24/7, supporting your bladder, colon, rectum and sexual organs. This versatile set of muscles performs many important functions.

Weak or damaged pelvic floor muscles can lead to urinary leakage, accidental bowel leakage and pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the uterus, bladder and bowel may drop causing sense of pressure and fullness.
