Let’s talk about money! Not how much, but how; how to have these conversations and why they are so important. There is so much fear around money conversations that they just don’t happen. This often leaves partners in the dark about finances and kids money illiterate.

Did you know that for every negative thing you hear about yourself OR that YOU say to or about yourself (even joking) that your subconscious hears as true? And in order to counteract it, you have to say the opposite/positive about yourself at least three times in a row? It's called the Positivity Ratio. Sounds crazy right? Think about how many times a day we put ourselves down without thinking...

Welcome to the world according to CCnDoc! How do you stay positive? Lately, it seems like we are getting asked this question a lot, so Doc decided it was time for a podcast on the topic! Good call!

In this episode, we talk about...

First, some handy hiking tips for all hikers! And, as we hike our way through Arizona and New Mexico on our #UnexpectedRoadtrip (check it out on our social media @CCnDoc), we continue to be surprised, amazed and even dumbfounded at some of the folks we are sharing the trail with.

The Cancer Hangover is a metaphor for any major life event, illness or what we call in our book “Courageous Money”, A Life Falls Event.

Welcome to Season 2 of CCnDoc Talk! A fitting start to the new year and our new season, this podcast focuses on a tool that we call the "Mindfulness Circle", which we created after taking a couple's course through Insight Timer (our favorite meditation app).

This podcast is by request from Doc's former work colleagues. While there is positive and constructive feedback, Doc has al...
