“You were never meant to climb that mountain alone.” - -Keisha Blair
We all face mountains — grief, loss, burnout, financial uncertainty, divorce, a toxic job, chronic illness, or invisible emotional exhaustion. These mountains come in many forms, but they share one thing in common: they test the strength of our spirit.
In times like these, spiritual self-renewal isn’t an option — it’s a necessity. It’s the foundation of Holistic Wealth — a life built on spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial well-being. God is sovereign and can move any mountain.
In this podcast episode, we discussed the 4 Spiritual Laws of Self-Renewal (from the Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book, with current data on resilience and mental health, to show how these timeless principles can transform both individual lives and entire communities.
What You Will Learn from This Episode
The Global Context: A World in Need of Renewal
According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people worldwide now live with a mental health condition — the highest number in recorded history. Rates of anxiety and depression rose by nearly 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic alone, and stress-related illnesses continue to climb.
Meanwhile, Gallup’s Global Workplace Report finds that nearly 60% of employees experience some form of burnout or disengagement at work, costing the global economy hundreds of billions annually.
When most people hear “wealth,” they picture bank accounts or investment portfolios. But true Holistic Wealth is far broader: emotional connection, shared purpose, and healthy boundaries. As the global Holistic Wealth movement—on a mission to reach 1 billion people—passes 150 million lives touched, one truth stands out: your closest relationships can make or break your abundance.
In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we explore Holistic Wealth in Relationships: Love, Boundaries, and Abundance.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Boundaries Are Bridges, Not Barriers
Healthy boundaries aren’t walls; they’re bridges to intimacy. They say: “Here’s what keeps me safe, respected, and free to love fully.”
Understanding these differences fosters compassion and connection. Boundaries done well don’t shrink love—they expand it.
Money Mirrors Relationship Health
Finances reflect trust and communication. Avoidance, secrecy, or control often surface as financial stress—or even abuse. Meanwhile, couples who talk openly about money thrive emotionally and financially.
Workplace Temptations & Emotional Safety
Many affairs start at work not because love is lacking at home, but because boundaries at the office blur. Long hours and financial stress can make outside validation tempting. Re-establishing boundaries—through open discussion and agreed limits—protects both relationships and peace of mind.

Holistic Wealth & Global Prosperity
Germany’s Agenda 2030 explicitly embraces multi-dimensional prosperity, echoing Keisha Blair’s Holistic Wealth: 36 Life Lessons. The German edition has gained momentum across Europe, as policymakers adopt the Holistic Wealth Framework to measure well-being beyond GDP.
Holistic Wealth isn’t only about dollars—it’s emotional architecture. Relationships with strong boundaries and open communication are fertile ground for abundance. As we continue toward the 1 billion lives milestone, remember: your partnerships are part of your wealth portfolio. Invest in them with the same care as your most valuable asset—because they are.

When we talk about resilience, too often the conversation stops at “mental grit” or “pushing through.” But the truth is this: resilience isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about recovery. But in the 21st century, marked by global pandemics, mass caregiving crises, economic instability and high inflation, and unprecedented trauma, this outdated definition no longer serves us. Holistic Resilience reframes resilience as not just surviving adversity but rebuilding from the inside out—biologically, emotionally, financially, socially, and spiritually. It integrates nervous system recovery with identity reinvention, creating a blueprint for sustainable thriving after disruption. It’s about rewiring the nervous system after disruption. And for those who have been through trauma, who spend months or years in a state of hypervigilance, this recovery is both urgent and lifesaving. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, our topic is "What is Holistic Resilience? The New Resilience Frameworks for the 21st Century".

The numbers speak for themselves:
Why Life After Caregiving Matters
Life after caregiving is one of the least discussed but most critical transitions in a person’s life. For years, sometimes decades, caregivers pour their time, energy, and finances into supporting a loved one. And when that season ends, many caregivers feel a deep sense of burnout, grief, and purposelessness.
In a previous episode, we announced that the Holistic Wealth Movement founded by Keisha Blair, has already impacted over 120 million lives worldwide— a milestone that represents a seismic shift in how people everywhere are redefining what it means to be truly wealthy.This is especially relevant as people are turning to Holistic Wealth, a concept that blends financial security with emotional wellbeing, purposeful living, and physical health to create true holistic resilience in challenging times.
Back-to-school season isn’t just about sharpened pencils and fresh notebooks — it’s about preparing teens for the challenges, opportunities, and choices that shape their futures. On this week’s episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we’re joined by author and educator Derek Gagnon, whose thrilling time-travel novel Out of Time delivers powerful life lessons for teens and parents alike.
Derek’s book follows a 16-year-old protagonist who wakes up in a strange place — and a strange time — with no memory of who she is. Swept into a dangerous conflict between a ruthless antagonist and a rebel group fighting to protect people across timelines, she must make life-changing decisions without knowing what’s ahead. It’s a story of courage, identity, and resilience — and a perfect conversation starter for this season of new beginnings.
Derek Gagnon was born in a small town north-west of Quebec City. Thanks to the military life, his family moved to Ontario in the early 2000s, where he lived ever since. After attending high school north of Toronto, Derek pursued higher education at the University of Ottawa, where he completed his undergraduate studies in French literature. He now resides in Canada’s capital city with his wife and two children. In addition to family life, he has dedicated himself to teaching French to middle-grade students.
The Holistic Wealth Movement founded by Keisha Blair, has officially impacted over 120 million lives worldwide — a milestone that marks more than just growth in numbers. It represents a seismic shift in how people everywhere are redefining what it means to be truly wealthy.
In today’s world, where the global retirement savings gap is projected to hit $400 trillion by 2050 and over 70% of people report feeling financially insecure, the old definitions of wealth no longer suffice. Instead, people are turning to Holistic Wealth — a concept that blends financial security with emotional wellbeing, purposeful living, and physical health to create true resilience in challenging times.

What is Holistic Resilience?
Holistic Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive by nurturing all aspects of your well-being – physical, emotional, financial and spiritual. It means building strength not just in one area of life, but creating the foundation that supports you through sustainable growth. Holistic resilience is a core pillar of Holistic Wealth. While Holistic Wealth is the complete integration of your financial health, emotional wellbeing. Physical health, relationships, life purpose, Holistic Resilience is the dynamic force that keeps this integration strong and thriving – especially in times of adversity or stress. Keisha Blair is widely regarded as the Mother of Holistic Wealth and the Mother of Resilience Frameworks, as she developed and popularized a comprehensive multi-dimensional approach to resilience introduced through Holistic Wealth as the “art of recovery from disruption” and through the Holistic Wealth Movement.
What is the Holistic Wealth Generation?
The term Holistic Wealth Generation, coined by Keisha Blair in The New York Observer, describes a rising global community committed to redefining success. This generation values:
They understand that real wealth is a harmony of money, relationships, mindset, and health — a balance that allows them not just to survive but to thrive no matter the obstacles.
In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we explored why Holistic Wealth is the new Retirement Plan. More and more people are waking up to the fact that saving a portion of their income in a retirement fund for decades isn’t enough to guarantee freedom, security or fulfillment later in life. The conventional retirement model was designed in an era of stable jobs, predictable pensions and low healthcare costs. That era is over.
Why Traditional Pension Plans No Longer Work
These factors have made the old-school retirement plan obsolete for many. What’s needed is a new framework to address all the major facets of our lives and helps us build resilience (including financial resilience). Holistic Wealth as well as the Holistic Wealth mindset are powerful frameworks to help create a life of balance, financial security, and emotional resilience—factors that science proves can be beneficial to those in retirement planning. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we explore how Holistic Wealth is the new Retirement Plan.
Why Holistic Wealth is the New Retirement Plan
The Old Retirement Plan Is Crumbling:
Retirement Is Becoming Financially Unattainable
The Job Market No Longer Rewards Long-Term Loyalty
People Are Outliving Their Money

In 2021, family caregivers in the U.S. provided an estimated 36 billion hours of unpaid care – work that AARP valued at approximately $600 billion. Studies have found that family caregivers often suffer career penalties as well as impacts on retirement over their lifetimes in lost wages and retirement benefits, especially for women dropping out of the workforce.
Globally, the “care economy” is enormous – and often undervalued. According to the International Labor Organization, about 381 million people worked in paid care jobs in 2018, representing 11.5% of all global employment. Close to 2 billion people globally – are performing care work unpaid, often as full-time caregivers for family members.

Living Through World War II
The turbulence of World War II marked Joy Fox’s childhood. Growing up in England, Joy and her family endured constant bombings under Hitler's regime.

Joy created CansPEP, the Canadian Society of Professional Event Planners out of a need to gather independent planning professionals as a strong group of entrepreneurs.
Selling Her Engagement Ring
Joy’s journey as a solo traveler began in the most unexpected way: selling her engagement ring after a broken relationship. At just 20 years old, she took the proceeds and embarked on her first trip, traveling from her small village in Wivenhoe, England, to Italy. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for exploration, one that has taken her to countless destinations across the globe.
Today, Joy’s adventurous spirit remains undeterred. Her solo travels and unrelenting curiosity earned her the prestigious JourneyWoman Evelyn Hannon Award for Solo Travel, celebrating her as a trailblazer for women over 50.

For her 90th birthday this year, Joy has planned another major trip to celebrate this milestone.

In this week’s episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we’re exploring a topic that resonates universally: the importance of owning your self-worth. Self-worth isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the “command center of our lives”, shaping our decisions, relationships, financial and overall well-being. In this episode, our special guest is Natalie Rowe, and she shares her personal journey with self-esteem and how calling off her wedding, and reclaiming her self-worth transformed her life.
Natalie Rowe is a certified Human Resources Leader and holds a Master's degree in Economics. She is the founder and CEO of Transforming Minds International, an organization dedicated to equipping youth for their careers. She's the author of S.E.T. - Proceed and Succeed in Your Career;as well as chapter e-workbooks on Insightful Career Conversations for Parents and Teens. Natalie is also a financial and career coach. She is married with three sons and lives in Ottawa, Canada.
How Self-Worth Impacts Our Lives
In this episode, Natalie shares her personal journey to highlight how self-worth impacts our lives. She states: “For much of my life, I struggled with low self-esteem. Family dynamics played a significant role in shaping how I viewed myself. As a young girl, I desperately craved the approval of a father who was a provider and protector but whose praise seemed always out of reach”. “On top of this, cultural influences compounded the issue. Growing up in a society that celebrated colorism and a specific body type sent insidious messages about my beauty and worth. Popular music and media reinforced the idea that I wasn’t enough—that my skin tone and natural features were less desirable. I internalized these lies, questioning my beauty and diminishing my sense of value”.
The Consequences of Early Messages
The consequences of these early messages are often profound. Natalie highlighted her previous engagement – a choice that didn’t serve her. “I entered a relationship that progressed to an engagement, and the wedding plans were set in motion. The decision to call off the wedding just weeks before the wedding date was incredibly painful”.
The Power of Owning Your Self-Worth
Self-worth isn’t something anyone else can give or take away. It comes from within. Learning to affirm ourselves and reject the false messages from our upbringing and culture can be liberating. As Natalie states: “Owning my self-worth has reshaped how I approach decisions, relationships, and challenges. When we own our self-worth, we give ourselves permission to live authentically, make empowered choices, and walk away from situations that don’t align with our values or potential”.
Self-worth can heavily influence spending decisions. Most, if not all money issues have their root in heart issues and mindset. People can easily go into debt to acquire what they believe to be the ornaments of success (car, clothes, lifestyle), and then fall in deep financial stress as a result. Equally, people can get into debt giving what they don't have because they believe being everyone's saviour will make them more likeable. However, when you are at peace with who you are, you don't put on appearances to make a statement, you rather live within your means, and make solid choices to grow your wealth, save for your children's education, and for retirement, buy insurance to cover your short and long-term financial risks, etc.
Holistic Wealth Hacks are small, impactful habits to create wealth in every area of your life—financial, mental, emotional, and physical. In this episode, we’ll explore “Holistic Wealth Hacks” - daily practices that align with the principles of Holistic Wealth to help you prepare for 2025 with financial clarity. Learn how the Holistic Wealth Coaching Programs at the Institute on Holistic Wealth can transform your life, with real-life case studies from successful participants who achieved financial freedom, emotional resilience, and professional growth.
Whether you’re seeking to align your finances with your values, overcome emotional challenges, or gain professional certification, this episode is your gateway to thriving through holistic wealth coaching, and leadership training in achieving your goals in 2025. It's imperative to recognize that true holistic wealth encompasses not only material prosperity but also mental and emotional well-being.
