Are You In a "Toxic Tango" Relationship?
Jessica Baum, LMHC 
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Founder 
Relationship Institute of Palm Beach 
"Someone with more narcissistic traits will often be attracted to someone with more empathic, perhaps even codependent, traits. Just think about the sweet, caring girl who walks tentatively into a bar and is naturally drawn to the strong alpha male. It's a little bit like the classic stereotype of the football captain and the cheerleader. Another classic example of how this can play out in relationships is the tale of the addict and the codependent. The addict is the taker and the codependent is the giver. The addict will continue to take, the codependent will continue to give, and the relationship falls completely off balance. It's a toxic, never-ending tango. … People often 'lose themselves; in the relationship by giving all they have to the other person. The 'honeymoon phase' blinds us initially, but once we attach our energy to another, the relationship shifts. The selfless person can end up trapped in an endless role of pleasing in order to receive. Individuals can become stuck, unconsciously trying to resolve their need to be loved by giving to someone, all in hopes of getting what they had in the beginning."
Jessica Baum, LMHC is the founder of Relationship Institute of Palm Beach and creator of the Self-Full™ method — a therapeutic path to personal wellness and freedom from codependence. Jessica holds an undergraduate degree from Fordham University and a master's degree in mental health counseling from South University. As a certified addiction specialist, her focuses are chemical abuse, codependency, and anxiety. She is also a certified Imago Therapist, bringing her compassionate and effective relationship counseling experience to families, couples, and family programs within addiction treatment centers. Jessica has extensive training in psychodrama and experiential therapy, and is additionally skilled in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy. Her training also includes EMDR and Post Induction Therapy, and she has a wealth of experience supporting trauma patients. Jessica's own personal core belief is centered around the importance of connection, both to oneself and the outside world. She believes the crux of most personal struggles can be attributed to a lack of true understanding and personal connection, and that it is this sense of disconnection that ultimately leads to pain. Jessica founded the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach to help heal, foster happiness, and restore hope in the individuals and families she works with.

3 "Buckets" to Avoid Blowing Wealth
Gideon Drucker
Certified Financial Planner 
Drucker Wealth 
"1) A 'now' bucket for current goals, funded by cash in the bank that is easily accessible, a 'cash cushion' you can use if you change jobs or to fund any large expenditure within one to two years. Gideon recommends his clients keep the equivalent of six months of living expenses in accessible cash reserves. 2) A 'later' bucket for short-term goals and pre-retirement goals such as having a baby, buying a house, starting a business, or saving for a child's college. This money should be saved and allocated among conservative and flexible vehicles that the client can access sooner rather than later, though of course the exact break down is dependent upon the time horizon of your goals. 3) A "last" bucket to save for retirement and other later-in-life goals, usually held in qualified retirement vehicles such as 401(k)s, 457(b)s and IRAs that are not accessible before age fifty-nine and a half. "Because we know that we can't touch the money in this bucket until that age, which for most of us is twenty plus years away, we can afford to be the most aggressive and growth-focused with this pile of money."
Gideon Drucker, Certified Financial Planner, is the Founder and Director of the Wealth Builder Division at Drucker Wealth, a family wealth management firm started by his grandfather Bernie Drucker in 1959. The 3rd generation Drucker, Gideon specializes in working with young professionals looking to take a more proactive approach to their financial future. While meeting many of his firms' pre-retiree clients during his first year, Gideon kept hearing a common refrain: "If Only I had met you 30 years ago." This sentiment, repeated dozens of times by new Drucker Wealth clients approaching retirement, became Gideon's inspiration for everything to come. Gideon created the HENRY Syndrome™ suite of services as a way to educate and empower young professionals, newlyweds, and young families to make smart financial decisions for their futures.
Gideon was recently named by Forbes as a Top Next Gen Advisor and is a sought after public speaker, presenting his HENRY Syndrome ™ workshops to hundreds of companies, organizations, and nonprofits throughout New York City and beyond with a primary focus in the tech community. Gideon graduated from Lehigh University before serving as a combat paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces. Learn more at www.DruckerWealth.com.

Working to Overcome Addiction
James Sweigert 
Author, Motivational Speaker
HeartWork Organizing, LLC
"1) Confront the false 'stories' you've been telling yourself. 2) Learn how to create a new story. 3) Implement practical tools like affirmations, visualization, and meditation in order to tell a new story. 4) Flourish and be amazing. 5) Become happier, more successful, and fulfilled. 6) Stop working for the destination and enjoy the journey."
James Sweigert is a dynamic motivational speaker, an award-winning executive producer and director for film and television, and the best-selling author of "If You Say So: My Story and How I Changed It to Save My Life." Over the past 25 years he has built, run, and sold several multimillion-dollar, award-winning production companies. During the same time, he mentored and coached celebrities, rockstars, and movie executives. The successes in his life were hard-fought; nothing came easy until he changed his story. 
The youngest of seven, James struggled to be seen and stay safe. He began to be molested at the age of 7. To cope with the chaos and abuse he turned to drugs and alcohol, which led to severe depression and a suicide attempt at the age of 25. This self-destructive pattern continued until he changed his story – and his life. James has not only survived addiction, depression, homelessness, suicide, and molestation, he has triumphed. He is a storyteller who was able to understand that how he was telling his own story and the power behind his words could shape his life. He is teaching others the same through his work as a mentor, motivational speaker and "Life Cheerleader." 
James currently lives in Beverly Hills, California with a loving partner, a close community, and an incredible dog, with the ultimate purpose to help others change their stories to transform their lives. Learn more at www.JamesSweigert.com.

3 Strategies for Talking About Money with Your Overspending Partner
David Cunningham 
Communication Expert, Seminar Leader 
Landmark
"1) Create a game your partner can win that you are playing WITH him or her: All actions and interactions can be broken down into 'games,' and you can create a winnable 'game' with your partner around your finances. Creating a winnable game together can make something like keeping a budget more fun and potentially even more passionate! For example, you and your partner can agree upon a gift budget of exactly $500. If both of you keep under $500 and win the 'game,' you will treat yourselves to a romantic dinner at that restaurant you've both always wanted to try! In a place where previously there may have only been frustration, creating a game helps create the possibility of romance, passion, and fun around your finances and ultimately your relationship. 2) Separate the story so there is no upset: It is completely human to be upset if your spouse overspends, but did you know upset comes not from your spouse's actions, but from your interpretation of those actions? The key is to separate the story from the action. For example, maybe you've learned about your wife overindulging on an expensive new necklace, and you feel upset. What are you making her actions mean? Maybe that she doesn't care about you or your feelings? Where else in your life have you felt that someone you love is not caring about you or your feelings? Are you open to the possibility that 'not caring about you or your feelings' is a story based on the past — a story you've created and continue to create in your life — and that you can separate that story from your wife's actions and help create a breakthrough in love, intimacy, and financial responsibility in the relationship? 3) Take specific actions you can both agree upon: When playing a game, especially a financially related one, it is important to take specific actions that you've both agreed on. For example, if both partners have a habit of overspending, they can agree to a game where they are allowed to overspend, but only if the other partner okays it first. Maybe you've been waiting for that new video game system to be released and have found it on sale, but you know it will put the family over the agreed-to budget. A quick call asking for an okay from your spouse considering the sale will help to eliminate any guilt or hurt feelings. It also helps to create space for teamwork and togetherness in your relationship and finances."

3 Keys to Inner Peace in a Crazy World
Holistic Physician and Author
Dr. Bradley Nelson
"1) Daily Inspiration: Do some research to find things that inspire you, things that lift your spirits. Perhaps it's a daily quote, a TED Talk, a phone call to a friend, or just watching the sunrise. Whatever gives you strength can help in finding inner peace. 2) Focus: You might be dealing with kids, cell phones, or TV while cooking, cleaning, or even driving (which is downright dangerous). It seems like we are always multitasking. Try to take time out to focus on just one thing. This can help to de-clutter the mind and give your brain a bit of a break. When you actually have downtime, consider using it to meditate. The beauty of meditation is that it doesn't require anything but your focus, and even the shortest amount of time can be helpful in finding inner peace. 3) Be Present: The past is the past, and the future is uncertain. You cannot change tomorrow by worrying today, and agonizing over things said and done cannot change the past. Be present. Enjoy what is happening in each moment today. Beautiful things are happening, but if you're distracted by the past or the future, you might miss them."
Veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson (D.C., ret) is one of the world's foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness. He has trained thousands of certified practitioners worldwide to help people overcome physical and emotional discomfort by releasing their emotional baggage. His best-selling book "The Emotion Code" provides step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy healing power.
