You Are the Investment with the Highest ROI | Episode 45

Who’s in Charge: You or Your Money Story? | Episode 48

A survey by Wells Fargo (an American bank) and Ipsos (a market research company) revealed that over 40% of respondents would rather talk about their parents' deaths than their financial situations. Which is wild—but Julia can definitely relate to this (a typical recovering Avoider, one of the four personality types). Money is all around us, and it’s nearly impossible to live without it for long while maintaining freedom of choice. Just try paying your bills with love and see what happens. The way you feel about money—whether confident or insecure—is shaped by everything you observed as a child. How your parents and grandparents talked about money, their attitudes toward it, and the messages you picked up along the way all play a role. Perhaps you heard phrases like “money is the root of all evil” or “rich people are greedy.” As a result, you may subconsciously believe that being broke is safer than risking rejection from your loved ones. Even if this doesn’t make logical sense, it’s the reality for so many people. In this episode, we’ll discuss: * Our money stories and how they shape our lives * How to rewrite your money story for a better future * Symptoms of limiting beliefs around money * The difference between an abundance and scarcity mindset If you’ve ever struggled with money and don’t understand why you keep repeating the same patterns, this episode is for you. A Special Note This is the final episode of The Joy Link. As we mentioned in our episode on manifestation, it’s time to make space for something new.

How to Forgive Our Family? | Episode 47

Jokes aside, there’s truth in this. There’s a concept that before our souls come to Earth, they choose environments where they can learn the most. (Side note: we learn from our challenges.) It feels true, but it’s not always easy to accept. We often spend years blaming our parents, siblings, and everyone around us for what’s wrong in our lives. Brian and I were no exception. In this episode, we share what we did to move forward and discuss: * The benefits of forgiveness * An amazing forgiveness experience that brought us peace * How we dealt with sibling rivalry (we’re both the youngest siblings, by the way!) If this resonates with you, give it a listen. Perhaps you’ll recognize yourself in one of our experiences. It might help you feel less alone, give you hope, or even inspire you to take that first step toward considering forgiveness for those you’re holding a grudge against. Thank you so much for hanging out with us—we appreciate you more than you know. If you’d like to share your story about forgiveness, we’d love to hear it!

How to Understand Yourself and Others Better: Emotional Intelligence 101 | Episode 46

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the key to navigating life with greater ease, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others. It helps us become more kind, understanding, and compassionate. Most importantly, it reminds us that we are not our emotions—we experience them, but they do not define us. In this episode, we’ll discuss: * How we’ve both developed our emotional intelligence over time * The best practices for processing difficult emotions like anger and fear * The crucial role boundaries play in emotional well-being * Practical ways to strengthen your EQ and improve your relationships If you’ve ever struggled with managing your emotions or understanding those of others, this episode is for you. Thank you for spending time with us—we appreciate you more than you know!

How to Meditate Your Way to Joy | Episode 44

Funny enough, when this episode is released, Julia will be in the middle of a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation, while Brian—who has been a certified meditation teacher for years—continues to deepen his practice. We’re both big believers in meditation. It can take years to develop, but once you do, it’s absolutely worth it. In this episode, you will: * Discover why we’re both so passionate about meditation * Learn the benefits it has brought into our lives through simple breathwork * Experience a short guided meditation led by Brian If this resonates with you, give it a listen. You might see yourself in our past experiences, feel less alone, and even find hope—or maybe you’ll close your eyes and focus on your breath. Look at you, you’re meditating! Thank you for hanging out with us—we appreciate you more than you know. If you’d like to share your meditation journey, we’d love to hear it!
