Stop Outsourcing Your Peace


Wealth and Wisdom
Monday's

Your peace is worth more than any paycheck, partnership, or purchase

Here’s what I mean: if the cost of keeping the money, the relationship, or the title is your mental health, then the price is too high.
Peace is priceless and it’s the one thing you can’t outsource.

Dollars and Sense

A client once told me she stayed in a toxic work environment because “the pay was good.” On paper, it made sense. But every Sunday night her body kept score. . . migraines, knots in her stomach, tears she couldn’t explain. And by payday? The money slipped away through “stress spending." Dinners, shopping bags, bottles of wine. Anything to numb the dread of Monday morning.


That’s when she realized: what looked like profit was actually loss. Sometimes, the most profitable decision isn’t the one that pays the most, it’s the one that lets you breathe again, sleep again, be yourself again.


Create a peace budget line item: money set aside for things that keep you grounded (therapy, massages, cleaning service, or even a solo staycation).

Because peace is an investment, not a luxury.

Wealth and Wisdom Monday's You can't heal what you cannot name. Here’s what I mean: That lump in your throat when you open your bank app isn’t “just nerves.” It’s your body remembering when money meant danger or shame. Money anxiety is old alarms still ringing. When you name it (“balance panic,” “bill dread,” “bank app avoidance”) you stop running and say, “I see you.
