Unplugged: How Wealthy Are You?

2024-01-26

In a world where wealth is often measured in material terms, Dr. Lara Salyer invites us to consider a deeper, more personal definition in this episode of The Catalyst Podcast. Sparked by a TikTok video that reminisces about childhood indicators of wealth, Dr. Salyer urges us to reflect on perceptions that may have shaped our understanding of wealth. She suggests that just as we periodically reassess our health, our ingrained beliefs about money and success might also require a fresh perspective! Wealth, as Dr. ...

Wealth, as Dr. Salyer presents it, is a multifaceted concept. She shares her own experiences of finding richness in life's simple joys, like the comfort of her own space and the liberty to align her medical practice with her personal ethos. Because money mindset is so important, within Dr. Salyer’s mentorship, The Catalyst Studio, Financial Fridays are dedicated to supporting functional and holistic practitioners to challenge, explore and be aware of their money stories. To inspire a reimagined approach to wealth, Dr. Salyer regularly recommends transformative reads, including "Happy Money" by Ken Honda, “Happy Pocket Full Of Money” by David Caperon Gikandi, and “Playing Big” by Tara Mohr.

In closing, Dr. Salyer invites a shift in focus from financial accumulation to nurturing well-being and self-expression, personal fulfillment and joy.

Quotes:

• “A quote that really resonated with me is ‘Some people are so poor that all they have is money.” (4:14 | Dr. Lara Salyer)

• “Wealth has become blown out of proportion and this is why I was diligent in making sure we had financial Fridays inside my mentorship, the Catalyst Studio. And my favorite thing is these “Financial Fridays” now where we unpack the idea of wealth and all the behavior around it. Are you hoarding it? Do you have a scarcity mindset? Do you spend it as soon as you get it because you're not sure when you'll get more? And there's all these things to unpack. And this is wonderful.” (5:17 | Dr. Lara Salyer)

• “Wealth isn't just about money or financial need. It's also about how your energy is spent. How your energy is curated again and recharged.” (10:21 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
