QUOTES
———————————
“Now, my focus is primarily on the executive coaching and for promoting women in STEM. I don’t have an engineering degree, but I want more and more women to know that they’re worthy and that they can enter into that male-saturated industry, not male-dominated.” (11:22) (Sandy)

“Emotional Intelligence is your ability to be aware of your emotions as they’re coming up in real time.” (15:36) (Sandy)

“The key, and what I’ve really dug deep on, is this idea of empathy. And empathy really falls under social awareness in the EQ assessment world. So, it’s important to have an understanding of your own emotions.” (19:15) (Sandy)

“Understanding what it is that you have a passion for doing - what excites you to get up and go to work every day? So, there’s a piece of that that really comes into play when you’re looking at, ‘What’s the right role for me?’ And most people don’t leave their jobs, they leave their supervisors. So, again, it goes back to that relationship and this idea of, ‘Can I work for somebody who doesn’t necessarily align with my values and beliefs?’ And I think that’s something that we need to ask ourselves.” (20:02) (Sandy)

ABOUT MINDFUL MONEY
———————————
Do you struggle with money? You’re not alone.
Money is a means, not an end. It’s a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not always guarantee a “good life”. Money enables many aspects of modern life, but as a dominant consideration it becomes destructive.
The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can’t create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.
Join Mindful Money author and experienced 40-year investor Jonathan DeYoe as he shares stories from artists, authors, entrepreneurs, and other advisors about how they mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.
If you aren’t happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, this show is for you.
Each episode will draw the line between the “enough” activities that the academics tell us are additive to family outcomes, and those “little bit more” efforts that take time and sap energy, but do NOT improve outcomes.
