2021 Wise Money Talks Season Wrap-Up

As we round the final corner of the 2021 marathon, our thoughts may range from a jubilant, “I did it!” to an exhausted sense of “I can’t wait for this to be over.” Regardless of your perspective, we at Sophia have journeyed along beside you as you find your individual pathways to equanimity and success.

We have just finished our last workshop in a very full autumn schedule of speakers. It has been a wonderful season of new ideas, breakthrough epiphanies and affirmation of what we know.

We learned the role of goals in our life and it’s not to make us busier or more stressed out. We talked about wild ideas and the courage to find our way when prevailing truths may not serve us. We are better investors, have aligned with our bodies and learned the power of letting go. One of our favourite wisdoms from this autumn was, “When I feel like I’m going too slow, it’s time to slow down.”

We hope you choose to slow down during the next few weeks. Look back on the past year and focus on those wisdom nuggets you gleaned. Which ones are you going to take into, and apply, in the New Year? Every new day offers an opportunity, a fresh gateway, to achieving your dreams and aspirations. We know that 2022 is going to be the year you step into the way of being and doing that you have been working towards!

We wish you the very best and look forward to seeing you next year.

Happy Holidays to you!
Kamal and Tracy

Latest Blog Post: The Power of Letting Go

“So many leaders today have manufactured a culture of urgency. It permeates everything and is getting us into trouble.” [Jennifer England]
