Much of my HEALing journey has been exploring and understanding love across various relationships, including self-love. Brian describes the same concept as diversifying our self-worth portfolio, including investing in ourselves. I love the different ways in which we talk about the same actions. Plus, you don’t want to miss our funny (okay…it’s nerdy) conversation as two former accountants applying investment portfolio ideas to relationships. But it works!!

Highlights of this episode include

💛Being born to a life of service versus transitioning to serving others as part of a Second Mountain journey

💙How what we experience every day in the job we work at, including work-related trauma, can move us from a place of being happy at the beginning to malcontent at the end

💛What feels like career development may be a form of self-isolation as we spend more time at work and with work colleagues, sacrificing other meaningful relationships

💙Diversifying your self-worth portfolio, including investing in different relationships and benefiting from your return on investments (ROI); investing = choosing to engage; ROI = fulfillment

💛Identifying whether your self-worth portfolio needs diversification and thoughts on how to address your need

💙The difference between the cliché phrase “work/life balance” versus what should be the reality of “life/work integration”
