Listen "The Bank of YOU: Are You Making Deposits or Just Withdrawals?"
Episode Synopsis
We've spent years saving, investing, and planning for the future—but have we been making deposits into the most important account of all?As Gen Xers, we grew up in a world that rarely talked about self-awareness, self-acceptance, or emotional well-being. We were raised to be independent, to figure things out on our own, and to push through without asking for help. Yet the Harvard Study of Adult Development suggests that strong relationships—not just resilience—are what keep us happier and healthier as we age. And that includes the one relationship we carry for life—the one with ourselves.Are you paying yourself first with acceptance, care, and compassion? Or are you running on an emotional overdraft, leaving yourself broke(n)?Join us as we reflect on the work we've each done on our relationships with ourselves, and the work we still have to do.More about The Harvard Study of Adult DevelopmentWatch Brene Brown's TED TalkLeave your thoughts via Fan Mail
