Today we’re diving headfirst into a question that has sparked both inspiration and existential angst for centuries: Finding your purpose. It’s a daunting idea, isn’t it? Purpose can feel abstract, elusive, and ever-shifting — something we’re constantly chasing but rarely confident we’ve fully grasped.

04:00 The difference between meaning and purpose

December 25, 2024Ep 455: Let’s Stress Less in 2025
This holiday season has been….stressful. And if it feels like you’re feeling more holiday stress this year than your male partner, you probably are. A 2023 poll from Yahoo News and YouGov found that 43% of women said their level of stress and anxiety increases during the holidays (compared to 32% of men).
Resiliency and stress expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe shares her top tips for entering the New Year with less stress. Because when we’re less stressed we have more space to manage our needs (including our financial needs), and we can start planning for the future.

CHAPTERS:
00:00 Why the holidays are so stressful
06:31 Redefining resiliency
9:01 The five pillars of resilience
20:31 A prescription for stress recovery
33:46 Mailbag Question 1: What is a safe harbor account?
36:01 Mailbag Question 2: I’m 60 years old. Should I convert my traditional IRA into a Roth IRA?

TAKEAWAYS:
Resilience is often misunderstood. It’s not just about being born with it but building it through lived experiences and relationships.
Stress itself isn’t the enemy. It’s the overexposure to stress (distress) that harms us.
Research suggests that swearing (when not directed at others) can improve pain tolerance.

Did you know we’re spending over 11% of our disposable income on food—the highest amount since 1991? It’s time to take control of our grocery bills and find joy in the kitchen. That’s why we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with New York Times food columnist Melissa Clark, author of Dinner in One, and over 40 other cookbooks.
Melissa shares her genius tips for cutting down on time and effort in the kitchen while maximizing flavor. From one-pan wonders to her philosophy of simplifying recipes (and minimizing cleanup), she makes cooking accessible—even for those who think they’re too “lazy” to cook. Plus, Melissa talks about her must-have pantry staples, freezer essentials, and why she no longer keeps potatoes on hand.

December 20, 2024Jean Chatzky’s Money Moves To Make Before The End Of The Year
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to take control of your money and set yourself up for an even better 2025. How to do it? We’ve got nine actionable steps from HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky. From rebalancing your investment portfolio after a booming stock market year, to making sure your cash is earning its keep in high-yield savings accounts, we share how to optimize your money.

Takeaways:
Gains in tech stocks may have caused your asset allocation to shift, increasing risk. Rebalancing protects you if the market dips.
Shop for high-yield savings accounts, CDs, or annuities with rates around 4-5% before rates drop further.
Offset capital gains by selling underperforming investments.

December 16, 2024HerMoney Classic: Holiday Tipping 101
The holidays are the perfect time to show gratitude to the people who make our lives easier, from housekeepers and hairstylists to restaurant servers and babysitters. But figuring out how much to tip — and how to fit it into our budgets — can feel overwhelming, especially with inflation making everything more expensive than it used to be.
We’re bringing back this episode with Barbara Sloan, founder of Tipped Finance and author of Tipped: The Life-Changing Guide to Financial Freedom for Service Industry Professionals to discuss holiday tipping etiquette, budgeting strategies, and why tipping should feel good, not guilt-driven.
Chapters:
00:00 Showing gratitude during the holidays
09:00 Common tipping questions and answers
16:00 The ethics of tipping
20:00 Financial advice for service workers
Takeaways:
Many tipping norms, such as $2-5 per night for hotel housekeeping, haven’t changed in decades.
Tipping should feel good and be reserved for personalized services where workers directly enhance the experience.
If finances are tight, reduce the number of luxury services you use rather than tipping less.
