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. Learn more

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

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

James Sweigert is a dynamic
motivational speaker, an award-winning executive producer and
director for film and television, and the best-selling author of

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

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."

communication expert and seminar leader for Landmark, a personal and professional growth,

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
