the four pillars of wellness (and wealth)


How do you define wealth?

Do you look to the monetary definition or do you look at other areas of life?

For me, “rich” is related to income, assets, net worth etc. Rich has nothing to do with the quality of life, contentment, a sense of purpose, relationships, or a number of other factors that I think we can all agree are what life is really about.

Wealthy, on the other hand, is related to pretty much everything “rich” is not.

I’ve never considered pillars of wealth, but thanks to a new friendship and some great conversations with Adam Bruderly, I’ve realized that the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money not only helps you live your authentic life but they are also my four pillars of wealth.

I made this connection because the firm Adam works at, Journey Wealth, has four pillars of wellness, which I easily can substitute wealth for—they are spiritual, mental, physical, and financial. You see it, right?

Spirit. Mind. Body. Money.

Adam and I had a chance to talk more about these four pillars, along with discuss some old pillars that I was able to dig up, and how Journey Wealth came to realize the importance of spirit, mind, body, and money. We also discuss how they are bringing these four pillars of wellness to their clients–what they are doing is really cool and I’m a huge fan!

Check out today’s episode of LifeDesign+ where Adam and I have a free-flowing conversation about the importance of spiritual, mental, physical, and financial wellness.

I’d like to ask a couple of favors:

1.) If you haven’t subscribed to the podcast or YouTube channel (or both) please consider doing so if you are enjoying the conversation and guests I’m bringing to you. By now you know the algorithms love this type of feedback and tend to show podcasts that have more subscribers and reviews—a review would be awesome as well!

2.) Let me know in the comments or reply to one of my notes and let me know if you want to hear more from Adam and I about these four pillars. I’ve already mapped out a mini-series for us to collaborate on and would love to dive deeper into each.

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a great weekend! A new episode of LifeDesign+ dropped this week with an episode of The Next Episode with my dad. This is a "show" that we don't film enough episodes of but when we do they are always fun and some of the most listened to and viewed episodes. In this episode we discuss "authenticity", whether or not it's a buzzword, and how different generations view the term and living authentically. I think this is the best episode for us yet. I also dropped...

Yesterday, I exchanged a couple of voice notes with one of my closest friends and shared a belief with him that helped me connect another dot in the Pursuit of the authentic life. My friend shared that so many things in his life were right where they needed to be—aligned with his values and allowing him to live his authentic life and continue to evolve. His family.His finances.His health.His career. All great! But despite all of those important aspects being aligned, something was missing....

“There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown.” - Kendrick Lamar This remains one of my favorite quotes. As you continue to pursue your authentic life, you will have chapters that end, leaving you to trust in the unknown. For most, the unknown can be scary and sometimes keep you in a chapter longer than you should be just to avoid the unknown. But, the more you experience venturing into the unknown, the stronger your faith will become making it easier and even exciting to...
