What if the secret to living to 100 isn’t just in your DNA but in the way you design your life? Holistic Wealth is longevity—it’s the key to living longer, healthier, and more fulfilled. Research shows that only 20-30% of longevity is genetic, while 70-80% is shaped by lifestyle choices—your financial well-being, relationships, sense of purpose, and physical and spiritual health is key. Financial stress is one of the biggest threats to longevity. Studies show that chronic financial stress can shorten your lifespan by up to 10 years. · People with high financial stress are twice as likely to develop heart disease. · Financially secure retirees are 60% more likely to live past 85. The Holistic Wealth mindset helps you create a life of balance, financial security, and emotional resilience—factors that science proves can add years to your lifespan.

In this week’s episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast , we’re exploring a topic that resonates universally: the importance of owning your self-worth. Self-worth isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the “command center of our lives”, shaping our decisions, relationships, financial and overall well-being. In this episode, our special guest is Natalie Rowe, and she shares her personal journey with self-esteem and how calling off her wedding, and reclaiming her self-worth transformed her life. Natalie Rowe is a certified Human Resources Leader and holds a Master's degree in Economics. She is the founder and CEO of Transforming Minds International , an organization dedicated to equipping youth for their careers. She's the author of S.E.T. - Proceed and Succeed in Your Career;as well as chapter e-workbooks on Insightful Career Conversations for Parents and Teens . Natalie is also a financial and career coach. She is married with three sons and lives in Ottawa, Canada. How Self-Worth Impacts Our Lives In this episode, Natalie shares her personal journey to highlight how self-worth impacts our lives. She states: “For much of my life, I struggled with low self-esteem. Family dynamics played a significant role in shaping how I viewed myself. As a young girl, I desperately craved the approval of a father who was a provider and protector but whose praise seemed always out of reach”. “On top of this, cultural influences compounded the issue. Growing up in a society that celebrated colorism and a specific body type sent insidious messages about my beauty and worth. Popular music and media reinforced the idea that I wasn’t enough—that my skin tone and natural features were less desirable. I internalized these lies, questioning my beauty and diminishing my sense of value”. The Consequences of Early Messages The consequences of these early messages are often profound. Natalie highlighted her previous engagement – a choice that didn’t serve her. “I entered a relationship that progressed to an engagement, and the wedding plans were set in motion. The decision to call off the wedding just weeks before the wedding date was incredibly painful”. The Power of Owning Your Self-Worth Self-worth isn’t something anyone else can give or take away. It comes from within. Learning to affirm ourselves and reject the false messages from our upbringing and culture can be liberating. As Natalie states: “Owning my self-worth has reshaped how I approach decisions, relationships, and challenges. When we own our self-worth, we give ourselves permission to live authentically, make empowered choices, and walk away from situations that don’t align with our values or potential”. Self-worth can heavily influence spending decisions. Most, if not all money issues have their root in heart issues and mindset. People can easily go into debt to acquire what they believe to be the ornaments of success (car, clothes, lifestyle), and then fall in deep financial stress as a result. Equally, people can get into debt giving what they don't have because they believe being everyone's saviour will make them more likeable. However, when you are at peace with who you are, you don't put on appearances to make a statement, you rather live within your means, and make solid choices to grow your wealth, save for your children's education, and for retirement, buy insurance to cover your short and long-term financial risks, etc.…

In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we’re discussing “Tips for Arthritis Pain Management”, with special guest Dr. Ken Redcross. More than 350 million people globally suffer from arthritis. In the United States, it’s estimated that one in four adults, or about 58.5 million people, have been diagnosed with arthritis and suffer from arthritis-related joint pain. Pain management can be challenging due to medication side effects, contraindications, and inconveniences, such as dosage, texture, and smell. If you suffer from arthritis, you may find it harder to walk, move around, and enjoy physical activities. When your joints wear down over time, the cushioning provided by the cartilage erodes, resulting in pain and stiffness. To manage the pain and make things more bearable you can follow a few simple tips to improve your quality of life. Physical health is a critical part of Holistic Wealth, and millions of people globally suffer from chronic pain and disability due to inadequate pain management. Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “ Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor ,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. As one of the first full-service concierge, personalized medical practices in the United States, Dr. Redcross’ patient portfolio includes executives, athletes, and entertainers, as well as individuals from all walks and stages of life.

In this special episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our topic is “ 70% of Your Immune System Lives in Your Gut – Tips for Gut Health with Dr. Ken Redcross”. Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. Your gastrointestinal tract has a vast and complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, bustling with a myriad of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. These microscopic organisms are integral not only for proper digestive function and absorption of nutrients but also for engaging in a continuous dialogue with the vast network of immune cells working together to defend your body’s health. As Dr Redcross states in this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast - 70% of your immune system is embedded within your gut, where it interacts with the multitude of microorganisms living in your microbiome. A healthy gut microbiome includes a diversity of beneficial bacteria that helps your immune system function at its best, while a disrupted microbiome may undermine its ability to diligently protect your health. When we seek comfort in the foods we love, they don’t always love us back. Having a healthy gut is all about balance. Often, it’s not very practical or even sustainable to banish the foods you love. By following simple tips and making a few lifestyle fixes, you can keep your belly both happy and healthy. It's also imperative to recognize that true abundance encompasses not only material prosperity but also physical health, and mental and emotional well-being.

In this special episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our topic is “ How to Create Holistic Wealth at Home”. In today's fast-paced world, finding balance and achieving holistic wealth at home has never been more important. With the ongoing global burnout epidemic and the shift towards working from home, it's essential to create an environment that nurtures every aspect of our well-being. Our latest episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast is here to help you do just that. For many women (and men), the word “home” conjures up images of a never-ending pile of laundry, unending chores, lack of time to complete tasks often left undone and stress associated with childcare.

On average, women spend 2.5 hours more per day on unpaid household and care work than men. This amounts to over 900 hours per year, significantly impacting their time for professional growth and leisure”. This affects our overall holistic wealth – our personal relationships, as well as our mental, physical, emotional and financial health. This episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast is geared towards giving you the tools to create Holistic Wealth at Home, and increase harmony and balance at home.
