Wellness is Wealth with Nicole Chetaud

Meditation is misunderstood. Eventhough it's been around for thousands of years, and has received so much attention in the last 5-7 years through apps like Headspace and Calm, and stories around the success of famous CEO's/founders who tout the benefits - there's still a disconnect as to what it actually is. Here's what it's not: It's not something that stops your thoughts It's not easy for everyo...

I've found in the last week or so, that many people I know are in a cycle of being uber busy, productive, and scheduled due to an overwhelming pressure to perform at their work or as an entrepreneur. Their wellness is sacrificed, symptoms are ignored as they try to keep up with the demands of living in an area that is affluent. They don't see their kids, friends, spend time doing things that fill...

About 10 years ago @ 39, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer. Yes, you read that right - I was 39 years old. Not 50, which is when they start screening people for colon cancer. I had no genetic history, no one in my family or even extended family, had this sort of cancer diagnosis. It was a fluke. I was unlucky. This culminated in a year of treatment in 2012, involving radiation, chemo, and...

This episode is all about friendship, community and belonging. This is paramount to wellness for all of us. Human beings are social. The social fabric we create around us is integral to our sense of wellness, or lack thereof. Although I've always been a big fan of friendship, and have had the good luck to cultivate many in my life so far, I realize that not everyone prioritizes community as a sour...

Would you believe I’ve been sick for almost 4 years? Or that over 30 doctors misdiagnosed me? Or that it took me listening to podcasts for 8 hours day, for 3 months to figure out what was causing my debilitating illness?

The more I travel the challenges I’ve been given, the more I understand the power of choice and flexibility.  When it feels like nothing is within our control (very little is) we do still have some power when it comes to choosing our response, feeling our emotions, and deciding on what’s next. There is always a choice even when there seems like we are boxed into a corner.  In this episod...

They are not complicated or difficult to remedy, but knowledge is power. And with kno...

I've known about affirmations for years, courtesy of my insatiable appetite for personal growth and human potential content! I think I may have first heard of them when "The Secret" came out circa early 90's, and like many, I started applying the "law of attraction" principles outlined in the movie which included affirmations. However, I've found over the last 10 years of seemingly non stop insurm...

It's a problem of wrong fit for the role.  In this episode, learn how to hire and attract the r...

Vulnerable sharing episode!   This was hard for me to share, and yet it's such a critical part of my growth and life story, that I needed to put it out there in the hopes that it will not only motivate you to move on that next dream/idea/goal NOW, but also if you find yourself in the same situation, that you get help more quickly than I did.  This is my story of how I went from supe...

When was the last time you started your morning with a stream of positive thoughts?  Are you aware of what you are thinking, as you are thinking it, when you look in the mirror?  Honestly, life is so busy it's difficult sometimes to notice what we are saying to ourselves all day, every day .  Especially as we are looking in the mirror getting ready for our day, it's pretty common to...
