In this episode, Dean Newlund and Neelam Harjani discuss: Global views on wellness are shaped by culture and economy Emotional and physical impact of chronic stress Materialism and the illusion of scarcity Mindfulness and reconnection with self Financial well-being is tied to resilience and balance Key Takeaways: Chronic stress and burnout are intensified in economically booming cities where ambition and competition replace balance and community. True wellness begins with awareness and acceptance—learning to observe emotions like stress or anger instead of resisting them. Financial pressure, whether real or perceived, often drives people into survival mode, disconnecting them from joy and safety. Cultivating daily moments of stillness and self-connection builds a reservoir of resilience that no external achievement or purchase can match. "When you feel at ease and at peace with yourself, then no matter how bad the traffic is, there's a reservoir to go back to." — Neelam Harjani Connect with Neelam Harjani: Website and Books: http://www.inspire-wellness.com/ & https://neelamharjani.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neelam-harjani/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neelamharjani/
