        6. Ep 7.5 - Peace Before Happiness

          In this episode of What Keeps You Up At Night Podcast, host Kiné Corder, a national certified counselor specializing in financial hypnotherapy for stress, explores why peace and freedom must come before happiness, especially for men. She contrasts how men and women relate to happiness, explains why many men are really seeking peace and basic stability instead of “happiness,” highlights the unspoken therapeutic role of barbers and other “go-to” listeners, and shows how doing the internal work through therapy and hypnotherapy creates lasting peace, freedom, and genuine happiness.

          Key Points

          • (00:10) – Kiné introduces the episode, shares her natural disposition toward happiness and peace, and sets up the core question of happiness versus peace.
            • (03:30) – She explains how men often seek peace and freedom first while women may chase happiness directly, skipping the inner work required for lasting joy.
            • (07:15) – Kiné describes how many men rely on external fixes—money, work, vices, relationships, and distractions—for a sense of peace that never truly lasts.
            • (11:00) – She highlights the barber’s chair as a rare safe space where men exhale, feel heard, and receive hope, and why barbers (and other “go-to” people) need boundaries and better tools.
            • (15:30) – Kiné outlines how therapy and hypnotherapy help men do the internal work of peace and freedom, inviting them to retreats and deeper work instead of putting everything on their barber.

            •  

            “Peace, freedom, happiness — in that order. If you skip the peace and the freedom, the happiness will always be fleeting.”

            6. Ep 7.3 - Mental Health Awareness Month

              In this episode of What Keeps You Up at Night, host Kiné Corder—a nationally certified counselor specializing in financial hypnotherapy for stress—kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month with a powerful message directed especially at barbers and men. She explores how our surroundings shape our mental well‑being, why those who serve others need their own support systems, and how barbers can be trained in mental health first aid to act as compassionate first responders (not therapists) for their clients. Kiné challenges listeners to stop silently suffering, get honest about who they talk to (if anyone), and consider how their unaddressed pain may be affecting the people they love.

               

              Key Points:

              • [00:00:11] – Kiné introduces Mental Health Awareness Month, explains her new recording setup, and frames the conversation around self‑care for those who serve others, especially barbers.
              •  [00:04:30] – She explains how your surroundings and workspace can either nourish or drain you, offering three emotional “checkpoints” (morning dread, midday heaviness, end‑of‑day urgency to leave) as signs it may be time for a change.
              • [00:09:10] – Kiné asks, “Who are you talking to?” and encourages men and barbers to seek real support—therapy, support groups, or trusted listeners—instead of carrying everything alone
              • [00:14:45] – She outlines her vision for training barbers in mental health first aid, using the doctor–nutritionist–trainer analogy to show that you don’t need a PhD to offer basic, life‑affirming support and to know when to refer someone to professional help.
              • [00:21:00] – Kiné confronts patterns of silent suffering, self‑medication, and unhealthy relationship tests, asking who else is paying the price for your pain and calling listeners to start talking and stop using suffering as proof of love.

                •  

                “You can’t use the same thinking that got you into the problem to get you out of it—you need someone who can help you carry the load.” – Kiné Corder

              • Ep 7.2 - Day 1 | Build in Public: Launching the Prosperous Barber Society

                In this foundational episode of the What Keeps You Up at Night podcast, Kiné shares the behind-the-scenes journey of building a new business in public. From investing in executive-level consulting and exploring locations for a luxury retreat center across France, Albania, and Dubai, to landing back in the United States with a renewed mission, this episode sets the stage for the Prosperous Barber Society and the Wise Barber Network. You’ll hear why barbers are often the first therapists in men’s lives, how they can be equipped as “first responders” for mental health, and what it means to build a customer-funded, values-driven business that serves both wealth and well-being.

                Key Takeaways:
                1. Building in Public – Kiné commits to sharing the real-time journey of creating a new arm of the business, including wins, challenges, and numbers.
                2. Global Search for a Retreat Location – After exploring France and Albania, Dubai (and broader UAE) emerges as the ideal base for a high-end retreat center serving wealthy clients.
                3. Customer-Funded Retreat Model – The retreat center concept will launch without loans or investors, starting with hotel-based or existing spaces in cities like Las Vegas, with future expansion to Dubai and Monaco.
                4. Prosperous Barber Society – A paid, private club designed to give barbers mental health support and money systems, positioning them as better-resourced leaders in their communities.
                5. Wise Barber Network (Free Community) – A free entry point for 1,000 barbers, offering questions, tools, and interviews to help barbers become master question askers, build legacy, and prepare for deeper work and certification.
                  6.  

                  “Barbers have been the first therapists for men long before there were therapists—and it’s time they get the support, training, and money systems to match the weight of what they carry.” - Kiné

                6. Ep 7.1 - Moving Abroad Realistically

                  In this episode, Kiné Corder strips away the glossy illusion of life abroad and delivers an honest, experience-based perspective on what it really takes to move and live outside the United States. Drawing on years of living in countries such as Portugal, Thailand, France, Malaysia, Albania, and more, Kiné breaks down the true cost of living, visa realities, cultural adjustments, and the emotional side of relocating. She also explores traveling solo vs. with a partner, the dynamics of being an American—and a Black American—abroad, and why respecting local culture is non‑negotiable if you want your expat life to actually work.

                  Key Points
                  • [0:00:10] – It’s not as easy or glamorous as YouTube says
                    Kiné explains why most “living abroad” content oversells the ease and glamour, and sets the expectation that moving abroad is doable but not easy—especially around visas, income, and everyday life realities.
                  • [0:03:30] – The real cost of living: plan for ~$4,000/month
                    She challenges the outdated “$1,000/month abroad” narrative, highlighting rising rents (driven in part by Airbnb) and sharing her view that around $4,000 per month is a more realistic budget to live a comfortable, upper‑middle‑class lifestyle in many countries.
                  • [0:11:40] – Don’t move emotionally—test it first
                    Kiné urges listeners not to sell everything and run after a breakup or bad job; instead, she recommends testing locations for 2–12 weeks (or doing 3 countries in 3 months) to see how you handle distance from family, food differences, and daily comfort.
                  • [0:18:30] – Food, quality of life, and why Malaysia stands out
                    Using examples from Albania, Thailand, France, and especially Malaysia, she contrasts US food quality with fresher, more flavorful produce abroad, and explains how dining out can be both more affordable and more satisfying in certain countries.
                  • [0:52:00] – You’re an immigrant too: respect, visas, and privilege
                    Kiné reframes Americans abroad as immigrants, not “expats,” discusses visa limits (typically 90 days), property restrictions, and the importance of respecting local laws, cultures, and people—instead of trying to recreate America somewhere else.
                    •  

                    “You are an immigrant in that country. Don’t go there expecting them to treat you a certain way—go there expecting to treat them a certain way.”

                    Have you ever heard someone say Dubai doesn't have a soul and wondered what they meant? I'm not sure that they know what they are saying. Some people are just repeating what they heard others say, while others may actually believe this.

                    In this episode I break it down and explain why I believe people say that. This is based on my observation, but also my research in human behavior and metaphysics. 

                    Listen this is so freaking good. Especially if you've spent significant amount of time in Dubai.

                    Here are the 7-Prosperity Pillars:

                    Wealth, Health, Relationships, Recreation, Reputation, Time, Location

                    Put these in order for your life right now.

                  • Ep 6.38 - One Thing That Can Stop Stress and Suffering Over Money

                    This episode has no direction. I talk about how money can make some people suffer as they lust after wanting more and stress themselves out getting it. 

                    I also talk about a few things that I've learned about how to sleep at night. I explain the one thing that can overcome greed. 

                    So listen because it's one of the biggest things I've learned from Dubai.

                    By the way, share this episode with someone you think can benefit from it. 

                    See you sooner, love you muchly!
