Holistic approach to financial literacy with Amber Dugger

The Simplicity Sessions

Jenn invites Amber Dugger on the podcast to discuss how women approach their finances in 2021. Amber tells you how the financial system has failed you and the institutions that are able to help you would rather make money off of you than get you out of debt.

In this episode, you will hear Amber provide you with tips on how to create a positive experience with getting to know your finances and how it will help you build wealth in the future by preparing for upcoming bills and items that you would like to purchase without going into more debt.

Amber Dugger is a certified health coach and a financial coach with 15+ years of corporate experience. As the founder of Profit for Keeps, Amber is helping thousands of entrepreneurs through a holistic system designed to remove stress and reduce anxiety around your finances, personal and professional. (we touched on this with Paula Wilimek on Episode 135 released March 15, 2021, feel free to go take a listen here).

I, myself, am proud to say I work closely with Amber to increase my own financial literacy; improving not only my understanding and relationship with money, wealth, and abundance but empowering me to go after my goals, desires, and dreams.

I am suffering so horribly from seasonal allergies. Are there any tips and suggestions that you can to, to help me or that you can offer to help me?

• Some common symptoms could be post-nasal drip, sneezing, watery eyes as well as scratchy throat, irritation or tickle in the ears, or a decreased focus and concentration (brain fog). You may also notice that some eczema has cropped up that had been lying quiet for a while. You may notice that your sleep is off.
• Ways to combat seasonal allergies
• Food is related to how our body responds to an immune sensitivity just as much as the environment. The two are connected. Certain foods will exacerbate the reaction you have to environmental allergens. So when you are thinking lifestyle, try to mitigate inflammatory foods, dairy and sugars are great examples.
• Having too much caffeine and alcohol can irate the system.
• Some seasonal foods that can be an issue at this time of year are you suffer from hay fever in different pollen and cross-reactive type of allergies to things like melon, cucumbers, and bananas can trigger a reaction. Wheat and glutenous grains can also cause problems
• Focus on raw local honey that is rich in bioflavonoids and has natural antibacterial properties
• Hot and spicy foods create some heat and burn things off.
• Bone broth for pre and probiotic-rich foods.
• Pineapple is good because of the enzymes bromelain
• Fish organic vegetables and local organic meats
• Vitamin C, corecertin, and Coenzyme Q 10 are great for mitochondrial support
• Allergy relief tincture from St. Francis Herb Farm called Allergy Relief with Deep Immune Tincture
• Relieves allergy symptoms and supports the immune system.
• Contains Australegis, reishi and Schisandra which are found in the deep immune formula
• Also, contain nettle and prickly Ash with certain homeopathic ingredients that can really help your system.

Quotes:

“I love seeing the process of someone go from a place of feeling anxious and overwhelmed within. Honestly, an hour already starting to feel peace and calm.”

“So now that we have moved away from physical cash and instead of giving a card over, they have done studies that show that the consumer debt has extremely increased due to the fact that now people are handing over our card.”

“When you know that your money is going out is larger than the money coming in. There's a reason you're feeling this way because it's just clear that there are more expenses than there is money”

“I always suggest creating a beautiful ritual around looking at your money.”

“I would just love to learn more so that I can make sure that I'm supporting our family and relationship and really bring it from a perspective of, you know, trying to alleviate them from that burden of being the only person responsible.”
