ARE YOU A SHOPAHOLIC?
B
y April Benson, Ph.D., SWTR Guest
To Buy or Not To Buy?
It’s a question we ask and answer almost every day, and sometimes multiple times a day. For many people, it doesn’t cause a lot of inner turmoil, but if you are a compulsive buyer, it’s a high stakes question, and an affirmative answer can be devastating.
Long trivialized as the “smiled-upon” addiction, thankfully, compulsive buying is coming farther and farther out of the closet,
and the release of movies like
Confessions of a Shopaholic
is bringing the problem into the limelight.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF DEBT
"How we do money is how we do everything." - Kendall Summerhawk
How we feel about money and how we handle it truly does show up everywhere in our life. As a Wealth Coach and as a Certified Financial Planner, I've been helping women take charge of their money for over 30 years. For the last 10 years, I've been focused on mindset or what I call our
money personality
. There are five difference money personalities we might possess: Love, Security, Value, Recognition, and Status.

SELF-CARE TIP OF THE MONTH
This is the second in a three-part series
by Kumari Mullin on self-care
|
ARE WE SERVING
OR AVOIDING
By Kumari Mullin, SWE Contributing Expert
We explored the path of karma yoga, or seva, which means “self-less service,” considered an essential spiritual practice for enlightenment in Part One of this series. However, it is important to recognize that, like most teachings, giving can become out of balance, and even detrimental to both giver and receiver if coming from an egoic need. Could this be your experience?
