Thank you toZelle and Mindy Kalingfor a funny upbeat chat about how to not just survive the holidays but THRIVE! How does she do it?
Zelle found that the top three stressors are: MONEY, FAMILY OBLIGATIONS and TIME.
Mindy says: The perfect gift to give is CASH using ZELLE
How do you make time for YOU?
Mindy says: “Self care will make me a better parent!” Her top priority is to get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep so she can be the best mom for her kids.
Zelle wants you to be financially savy! To be successful, you need to be MONEY SMART! Two thirds (2/3) of American adults need more financial skills around budgeting, planning for your future and paying off their debts. Figuring out credit card bills, health care costs and mortgage payments is stressful for many people. Becoming a parent inspires many people to do a financial audit, figure out a plan and make a will.
Mindy’s TIPS for your financial future:
STOP shopping online out of boredom. Only buy things you really want or need.
It is important to not only save money but also to invest wisely.
Many women are uncomfortable to talk about money which is why Zelle wants to sponsor more conversations like this to normalize it!
Does Mindy make New Year’s Resolutions? YES! and Vision Boards! Read more about her process in Vogue Well Intentioned!
She talked with James Corden on The Late Late Show about her vision boards:
This year her resolution is to be more healthy! She wants to lose weight and be healthier to live a long life with her children!
“These women were pivotal to both the process and the outcome of the trial. Yet they were marginalized on many occasions, literally reduced to footnotes.“
It’s worth paying attention to what is – or isn’t – happening to our “large” parties. They are quite small, or at least that’s how they appear in the polls even as Election Day draws near.
We need not know where every decision will lead before taking the first step. Sometimes acting upon our deepest convictions is itself the beginning of wisdom.
New opportunities and challenges have always come and gone. But pulpit clergy with their years of training, education and perspective on life, generated from atop the pulpit, are especially well suited for whatever lies ahead.
THRIVE for the HoLiDaYs with Mindy Kaling & Zelle
