Embracing the discomfort in talking about money

The Green Tea 🍵

Hi there!

You’re reading The Green Tea, ah.mi’s bi-weekly newsletter curated for our members. This month at ah.mi we are focused on #FinancialWellness!

This edition of The Green Tea is brought to you by Mari Delgado, CFP®, a wealth management advisor at Ellevest! Mari has worked in the financial services industry for over a decade, and her specialty is helping clients optimize their finances during significant life milestones. If you want to take an actionable step towards #financialwellness this month and need someone to talk it through, Mari has offered our community a complimentary financial consultation here.

Now, back to TGT! This week we’re sharing:

1. Info about our upcoming ah.mi Virtual Chat: Career Crossroads ~

   We will be speaking live with an ah.mi member, Frenchie, who left what she thought was her dream job at venture-backed company, The Wing. The link to RSVP for this Sunday, October 6, is below!

2. An article about financial mindfulness that I know will hit home for so many ~ “We’d all benefit from cultivating a mindfulness practice around our finances so we can avoid ending the year in a spiral of obsessive saving and out of control credit card swipes. Mindfulness is a topic that is thrown around a lot these days. We’re encouraged to practice it when it comes to how we eat, move, consume media, and interact with the world. But we often don’t think about it in correlation to money. What does it mean to be mindful when it comes to your finances?” Link to the full article below (the bit about online shopping is 100% relatable).

3. A book recommended by an ah.mi member all about the power of surrender ~ she calls it is a must-read and the lessons on how to approach life’s inevitable changes have stuck with her.

4. A Substack piece that answers the question: “What would you do if money wasn’t a thing?” ~ “The majority of people express a desire to leave the corporate grind behind. They dream of pursuing passions that feel more meaningful and fulfilling, activities that they believe would bring them joy on a daily basis.”

5. A link to *free* yoga & sculpt workouts ~ from one of our favorite brands! These workouts are ah.mi-approved (20-45 minutes) and can be found on YouTube.
