Step 1: Define Your Mission/Purpose

A holistic wealth approach encourages entrepreneurs to define a higher purpose for their brand beyond profits. When a brand's mission aligns with its customers' values, it establishes a deep emotional connection that fosters loyalty and long-term relationships. Start with your “story of self” and craft a message and narrative that aligns with your mission and purpose. At the heart of every great brand lies a clear and compelling purpose. Begin your journey by asking yourself, "Why does my brand exist? What difference do I want to make in people's lives?" Align your business goals with a higher purpose that transcends money. Your purpose will serve as the guiding star during challenging times, inspiring both your team and customers to rally behind your cause.

Step 2: Focus on Building Relationships

While financial success is essential, building meaningful relationships are equally valuable. Cultivate a community around your brand by engaging with your audience on a personal level. Building genuine relationships fosters trust and loyalty, transforming customers into brand advocates.

Step 3: Embrace A Holistic Wealth Mindset & Consistency is Key

Consistency is the glue that holds your brand together. From your visual identity to your messaging, ensure that every touchpoint reinforces your brand's essence. This consistency cultivates a sense of familiarity and reliability, making your brand a dependable presence in the lives of your audience.

Step 4: Craft Your Holistic Wealth Portfolio - Innovate and Evolve

To create a lasting brand legacy, your Holistic Wealth Portfolio is key. Every entrepreneur and career professional should have a Holistic Wealth portfolio. The Institute on Holistic Wealth can help you craft a Holistic Wealth Portfolio that is unique to your business and career. It is also necessary to be willing to adapt and innovate. The world is constantly changing, and staying relevant requires an openness to new ideas and opportunities. Continuously assess your brand's relevance and make necessary adjustments to align with the evolving needs and desires of your customers.

Deep within each one of us lies a wellspring of untapped potential, waiting to be unlocked. The journey of self-discovery and personal growth leads us to unveil the boundless possibilities that reside within.

Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom. By Keisha Blair

1. Obey The Calling On Your Life

The first step towards unlocking your true potential is obeying the call on your life through self-reflection. Take the time to understand your strengths, passions, values, and beliefs. Reflect on your life experiences, both positive and negative, and learn from them. Ask yourself questions like "What am I truly passionate about?" or "What brings me a sense of fulfillment?" This introspective journey will help you gain clarity about who you are and what you want to achieve in life.

2. Set Clear Goals – Create Your Holistic Wealth Portfolio

Once you have a better understanding of yourself, it's time to set clear and achievable goals. Identify both short-term and long-term objectives that align with your passions and values. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps to create a roadmap for your personal growth. Setting goals provides a sense of direction, motivation, and a sense of accomplishment as you progress. The Institute on Holistic Wealth can help you design your Holistic Wealth Portfolio that’s unique to you.

4. Overcome Fear and Embrace Change

Fear and resistance to change often hold us back from reaching our full potential. Embrace the mindset that growth comes through stepping outside of your comfort zone. Face your fears, take calculated risks, and be open to change. Remember that failure is a natural part of the process, and it provides invaluable lessons for growth.

5. Cultivate Resilience and Positivity

Life is full of challenges and setbacks, but resilience is the key to bouncing back stronger. Cultivate a positive attitude towards life, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Practice gratitude and mindfulness to develop resilience in the face of adversity. A positive outlook will not only keep you motivated but also attract positive opportunities and experiences into your life.

6. Surround Yourself with Supportive People

Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you in your journey. Connect with like-minded individuals who share similar goals and aspirations. Seek guidance from mentors or coaches who can offer valuable insights and encouragement. Having a supportive network can make a significant difference in your pursuit of unlocking your true potential.

7. Take Care of Your Well-Being

Physical and mental well-being are vital components of unleashing your true potential. Prioritize self-care, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient rest. Practice mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga to nurture a calm and focused mind. When you take care of yourself, you'll find it easier to tackle challenges and stay on track toward your goals.

In today's fast-paced world, the mental health of our teenagers has become a critical concern. The rising prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues among teenagers necessitates a holistic approach to promote their well-being. Results from a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey add to the evidence that teen mental health is in crisis, with particularly concerning numbers surrounding teen girls. The survey found around 1 in 3 high school girls in the U.S. have seriously considered attempting suicide and more than half of teen girls, 57%, reported feeling "persistently sad or hopeless" — a record high. In contrast, 14% of high school boys told the 2021 survey that they had seriously considered attempting suicide, up from 13% in 2011. 

In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we delve into the teen mental health crisis, exploring its root causes, the challenges faced, and effective strategies for fostering mental wellness. In the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, there are many strategies throughout to help you master the “Art of Recovery From Disruption”.

Black women in many countries, including the United States, face higher rates of maternal mortality, preterm birth, low birth weight, and other pregnancy complications compared to their white counterparts. Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than White women. In an article in the New York Observer, entitled “What is Causing The High Maternal Death Rate Among Black Women in America?”, I highlighted that “in the U.S., Black expectant mothers are 243 percent more likely to die from childbirth-related causes than white women. Black women are also 49 percent more likely to deliver prematurely than white women, while black babies are twice as likely to die before reaching their first birthday”. These disparities are influenced by a complex interplay of socioeconomic factors, systemic racism, healthcare inequities, and implicit biases within the healthcare system.

Our guest on this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast on empowering Black women’s health is Dr. Monique Rainford. Dr. Monique Rainford is a board-certified OBGYN and Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale Medicine.  Dr. Rainford is the author of the new book Pregnant While Black: Advancing Justice for Maternal Health in America. Dr. Rainford received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and her medical degree from Harvard Medical School. She is a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair we take a deep dive into Black women’s health and in particular maternal mortality. Understanding and addressing these disparities is crucial to ensure that Black women receive the care and support they need for healthy pregnancies and positive birth outcomes. Reproductive health and maternal health are also critical to holistic wealth. Also check out our previous episode with guest Dr. Uche Blackstock on Advancing Health Equity. The issue of maternal mortality was also discussed in the new Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated book.

In this exciting episode of the Holistic ,Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our very special guest is Laura Belgray, award-winning founder of Talking Shrimp and Co-Creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, we discuss how Laura Belgray earned her first million at age 50 plus her new book Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-Ing Worst (now available for preorder). She's written TV spots for clients like NBC, Fandango, and Bravo, and now helps entrepreneurs and creatives get paid to be 100% themselves. Laura mentioned on the Holistic Wealth podcast that this pivotal conversation that she also outlined in her book, made her think twice about her “fit” in the corporate world:

"All I do in my career is move up and up and up. It's like every time I walk into the office, I get promoted."

“We were at dinner with our friend's new girlfriend, a dewy-faced, 29-year-old Conde Nast worker.

Shaking her head "no" to the server's offer of bread, she added, "I'll probably be publisher in the next couple of years.

I remember thinking (as I smeared butter on a second sourdough roll, thank you), I'm ten years older than this young thing and have never in my life moved "up and up and up." I'm so behind!”

That was more than a decade ago. For years, my "feeling behind" only got worse”.

As Laura discussed on the podcast “it's easy to feel behind when you scroll Instagram and see young influencers raking in billions from lip gloss, or overhear 20-something tech kids in line at Starbucks, talking about their Tesla collections and early retirements”. This podcast episode is for the late starters and late bloomers, who think they’re behind. With high inflation and high cost of living, fears of a looming recession, and increasing debt, many people are wondering how to deal with their personal finances. Money mindset and money beliefs are critical to achieving financial freedom and are therefore important to overall holistic wealth. On the Holistic Wealth podcast as well as in the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated; 36 Life Lessons To Help Your Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, the entire book is dedicated to this topic as well as mindset and mental health.

The World Health Organization defines burnout as increased mental distance from one’s job, energy depletion and increased negativity. Burnout can be seen as a misalignment with our values and what we are currently doing because it often arises when we are overworking or overextending ourselves in areas that do not align with our core values or personal goals. When we continuously engage in activities or tasks that are not meaningful or fulfilling to us, we begin to experience a sense of disconnection or dissatisfaction, which can lead to burnout. For example, if someone values spending quality time with their family but works long hours and has little time to spend with loved ones, they may experience burnout as they feel disconnected from their values and goals. Similarly, if someone values creativity and self-expression but works in a job that does not allow them to utilize their creative skills, they may feel unfulfilled and experience burnout as a result. The NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom (now available ) emphasizes the art of recovery from disruption and has tips and strategies for managing burnout. The Holistic Wealth framework, developed by Keisha Blair and outlined in this book is the antidote to burnout.

When we experience burnout, it is often a sign that we need to re-evaluate our priorities and make changes in our lives that align with our values and personal goals. This may involve setting boundaries, saying no to certain activities or commitments, or even changing careers or lifestyles to better align with our values and priorities.

By aligning our actions with our values, we can create a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives that can help prevent burnout and promote overall well-being. When we engage in activities that align with our values, we are more likely to feel a sense of satisfaction, motivation, and joy, which can help us maintain a healthy work-life balance and prevent burnout.

Racism and microaggressions at work can contribute to burnout by creating a hostile work environment and causing chronic stress for employees of color. Racism refers to the systemic and institutionalized practices that disadvantage people of certain races or ethnicities, while microaggressions are subtle and often unintentional acts of discrimination or prejudice that can have a cumulative impact on the recipient's mental and emotional well-being.

When employees experience racism and microaggressions at work, it can lead to a range of negative health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and burnout. The constant exposure to discriminatory attitudes and behaviors can create a sense of hypervigilance and stress, which can trigger the body's stress response system and lead to physical and mental exhaustion.

Employees who experience racism and microaggressions at work may also feel a sense of isolation and lack of belonging, which can further contribute to burnout. When employees feel like they are not valued or respected in their workplace, it can undermine their motivation and sense of purpose, making it more difficult for them to stay engaged and productive on the job.

Today we celebrate Global Holistic Wealth Day, observed every year on April 9th. This is a very special episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast.

What is Global Holistic Wealth Day?

From the Institute on Holistic Wealth: Founded by Keisha Blair, international best-selling author of Holistic Wealth, Global Holistic Wealth Day is a celebration of a life well lived that takes place annually on April 9th.

Keisha Blair created the Holistic Wealth movement and her life’s mission is ensuring everyone around the globe hears this message. April 9th is now commemorated as Global Holistic Wealth Day. 

Global Holistic Wealth Day is a day dedicated to celebrating wealth in all aspects of our lives, not just financial wealth.

Global Mental Health Crisis: Around the globe, we are faced with a mental health crisis. According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people currently struggle with mental illness, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. In Canada, it affects more than 6.7 million people. One in two Canadians have—or have had—a mental illness by the time they reach 40 years of age. In the United States, a recent CNN/KFF survey revealed that  90% of adults think the country is experiencing a mental health crisis. From 2015 to 2019, prescriptions for anti-depressants rose 38% for teenagers compared to 15% for adults.

A Global Financial Well-Being Crisis: According to CNBC, total credit card debt reached a record $930.6 billion by the end of last year. “More consumers are leaning on credit cards to afford increasingly expensive necessities such as food and rent. At this rate, households are nearing a “breaking point,” according to a separate study by WalletHub”. Financial illiteracy is still a huge global problem. Across all age groups, the average estimated money loss reported due to lack of personal finance knowledge was $1,389.06. Financial illiteracy is estimated to have cost the United States more than $352 billion in 2021.

Global Health Crisis: Skyrocketing rates of illness and disease including cancer (including, prostate and breast cancers and others), as well as chronic illnesses such as diabetes on the rise and long COVID.

Social Justice/Gun Violence/Racial Crisis: The social fabric of our communities is threatened by increasing gun violence and racism. More than 50 American municipalities and three states have formally highlighted racism as a public health crisis.

Imposter syndrome is defined as a psychological pattern of one’s doubts about their life, accomplishments, and goals. Many people feel like frauds despite the evidence of their competence and success. It very often stems from the need for external validation through social media validation, community, workplace achievement, and entrepreneurial success. Imposter Syndrome can lead to career, business and relationship problems. Imposter syndrome can also lead to self-destruction, anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem, and fear. Imposter syndrome also has a spiritual component, and it’s critical to recognize and practice spiritual self-renewal daily.

What is Financial/Money Confidence?

Financial Confidence comes from knowing that you are in control of your finances. If you make the most of your money, that helps you make the most out of life. However, financial anxiety and unresolved money trauma can erode financial confidence as well as not knowing your personal financial identity. Overcoming financial trauma, knowing how to rewrite your own personal money story as well as mastering your money mindset is a critical part of boosting financial confidence and achieving holistic wealth. Many experts now realize that teaching financial literacy without teaching money mindset mastery is a recipe for failure. On the Holistic Wealth podcast, we have had some amazing guests who have shared their own money mindset struggles, as well as tips and strategies to overcome financial trauma, improve money mindset and overcome money blocks ( including ancestral money blocks).

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we have an exciting solo episode on cultivating inner strength during hard times. The pandemic has caused us all to look more deeply at our lives to examine the direction we want our post-pandemic lives to take.

What is Inner Strength?

Psychologists use the term “finding inner strength” to refer loosely to the wide range of mental and emotional resources (behaviours, skills, and attitudes) that keep us stable and adaptable in life. The source of our inner strength comes from within.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we have an exciting solo episode on how lessons from the great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In the very first section of the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, I discussed developing a Life Purpose PortfolioTM. In this episode, we discuss lessons from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and discuss strategies for you to find your purpose and achieve your goals.

“You have the power to achieve purpose”. – Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In his, “I have a dream” speech he stated: “We have come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to take the tranquillizing drug of gradualism – now is the time to make real the promise of democracy. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice”.  In my interview with Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, also recently published, I outlined “5 Tips for Facing Giant Life Obstacles with Power and Grace”, which are also very instructive for finding your purpose, including honouring your values, facing your “dry bones” and spiritual self-renewal, as well as holistic growth – which includes building wealth in all aspects of our lives—including mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual— which is paramount.

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is Danté Stewart, we discussed the racial wealth gap and the legacy of colonialism in light of recent events such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II. We also discussed the issue of reparations (what is needed and why) and the Black Maternal Health crisis. Danté Stewart is an award-winning writer, speaker and author of Shoutin' In The Fire: An American Epistle. The Georgia Writers Association named Danté as "Georgia Writer of the Year” 2022 (Memoir); The Center for American Progress as one of "22 Faith Leaders to Watch in 2022"; and Religion News Service as one of "Ten Up-And-Coming Faith Influencers," his work has appeared in The Atlantic, New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME, ESPN's Andscape, Oxford American, Sojourners, NPR, CNN, Parents, and more.

Today, Black Americans make up roughly 13% of the U.S. population but hold just 3% of the country’s wealth. The median net worth of a White family in the United States in 2019 was $188,200, as compared with $24,100 for a Black family. The racial wealth gap is large, persists across income groups, and has not changed in over a century. We discussed issues such as reparations, the breadth and scope needed to really affect change as well as the history of financial barriers faced by Black people in securing vital loans.

Wealth matters because it is a fundamental determinant of health. Health equity strategies that fail to address the racial wealth gap will be ineffective. In particular Black Maternal health crisis continues to persist. Tune in to listen to this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair and special guest, Danté Stewart.

Better Sex through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire By Dr. Lori Brotto

According to the World Health Organization, someone around the globe dies by suicide every 40 seconds. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Canadians under 25 years old. 79% of all people who die by suicide are male. Although more women than men attempt suicide, men are 4x more likely to die by suicide. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10–14 and the 3rd leading cause of death among people aged 15-24 in the U.S. Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death overall in the U.S. 46% of people who die by suicide had a diagnosed mental health condition - but research shows that 90% may have experienced symptoms of a mental health condition.

Connecting and openly communicating with those who have had suicidal thoughts or those who have lost loved ones to suicide is essential in the effort toward suicide prevention. Since many people are unable to express and discuss their feelings due to the fear of being stigmatized, we hope that this message will help those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts or have lost a loved one to suicide to know that there is help available to support them in their journey towards healthier and more meaningful lives.

Money blocks are false belief about money. Money blocks can be a series of thought patterns, habits and behaviours that actually block financial freedom. Ancestral money blocks, are essentially false beliefs about money passed down from your ancestors, that prevent you from achieving financial success. A great place to start to try to figure out your ancestral money blocks is looking back at what your parents or caregivers, were saying about money. What was the generation before that saying about money and really looking at the lineage of how money was talked about and related to how much you felt worthy of what you thought you could and couldn’t do.
