Quote We Are Pondering
"Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'" - Robin Williams
Books We Are Reading
Steve: Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom. I’ve been following Sahil on social media for a couple of years and he has always shared great insights and his book was no different. He dives into his five types of wealth; Time, Social Mental, Physical, and Financial. We tend to focus on wealth being solely financial but when we take a step back it is clear wealth is about so much more.
Nicole: The Finnish Way Katja Pantzar: I drew a lot of inspiration from this book. A couple of key takeaways include: the power of getting out in nature for your overall wellbeing; using cold water swimming and saunas as natural mood boosters and to alleviate all sorts of ailments such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression; and movement as medicine - walking, biking, and swimming daily. The Finns also seem to have a lot figured out as it pertains to children and education. The Finnish education guidelines indicate children under 8 should have at least 3 hours of exercise per day - light activity, brisk outdoor exercise & very energetic activity! And the idea that school is about finding your happiness and finding a way to learn what makes you happy. 👏🏻

We recently tried this spin on banana cake with amazing results! Supposedly the order in which you add ingredients is what yields the fluffy consistency! Let’s just say the cake didn’t last 24 hours in our house.👩🏻🍳 Note: We used 1/2 coconut sugar and 1/2 cane sugar.
Years ago, Nicole took a course by Dr. Laurie Santos, The Science of Well-Being, and has followed her podcast, The Happiness Lab, ever since. Her recent episode, How to Lead the Richest Life Possible, is worth a listen!
