Welcome to The Self Intimacy Journey! I'm your host, Charlene, The Intimacy Maven.

In today's episode, Mark and I explore stock market investing as a powerful wealth-building strategy. Discover why moving beyond low-yield bank accounts is essential to combat inflation, and how the stock market consistently delivers positive returns for investors who can manage their emotions during downturns.

We'll demystify the market, guide you on what to invest in, and show you how to avoid costly fees. You'll learn practical strategies for selecting investments based on your personal risk tolerance and time horizon, understand why minimizing expenses is crucial for maximizing returns, and discover techniques to overcome the destructive habit of panic-selling during market volatility.

Join us to understand why consistent investing through dollar-cost averaging and maintaining a long-term perspective are the true keys to building lasting wealth in the stock market.
