Are you rich? While our default answer likely focuses on the way in which we currently evaluate our financial situation, is money what makes us rich? Is it possible to effectively address realistic short and long-term financial goals without sacrificing our health, relationships, ethics or other elements that are important to living a full life? Or are we stuck having to choose between our money and our life?

Welcome to the latest episode of the Health, Wellness & Performance Catalyst. Today’s guest is Dr. Shannon Hayes, author of the thought-provoking book Redefining Rich, which I expected to be filled with the typical blah blah blah generic advice we’ve all heard a hundred times. Instead, I was left considering a new way for Suzanna and I approach that choice between our money and our lives. 

Dr. Hayes and her husband walked away from their career paths and chose to forge a life on her family’s frost-plagued mountain farm, starting up a small café in town. They built a business – and a life – from which we can all glean valuable guidance, regardless of our current setting, career path, or business start-up status. And, along the way, you might just discover a secret or two that brings true living back to this thing we call life. Here's the link to access the Quality of Life Statement workbook she mentions in the interview.
