Feel Good Now . Wellness is a conversation that I'm incredibly passionate about, particularly during these times, and the idea of partnering with a company that is invested in the wellness of others is something that humbles my heart. . Young Living Essential Oils is a company I've continued to see investing in the well-being of others and I'm inspired to see that those efforts are amplified right now.... . Acknowledging the challenges that our wellness is up against, Young Living Canada is hosting a special event series to help you Feel Good Now. In this series, we will be sharing simple solutions to help you get back to feeling good and exploring common areas that matter to your wellness, including Financial Wellness! .

This is a free event, and the content is for anyone whether you are familiar with Young Living or still exploring. In the event you'll learn simple tips that you can incorporate to your routine to enhance your overall wellness. .

Being an Observer of the Journey . One of the ideas that I’m committed to applying everyday is to be an active observer of my own journey. The reason is that I found that it was almost unnatural to acknowledge my wins of any size in a meaningful way. . Why was that? For me, when it all boiled down it was because of an internalized feeling and belief that it would be boastful to do so. But how can we expect others to see us if we don’t truly see ourselves first?... . So, fueled by a commitment to stay humble to learn and hungry to serve others, I decided to be an observer of my journey. In doing that, I celebrated my wins and failings with an insistence in growing from both. . That made the wins just as important as the failings! The best part was that it allowed me a focus to become more of myself so I could be more for others. . It was that attitude that helped me keep going on my journey with writing, editing, re-writing and then re-editing the book (on what felt like repeat!). . Today, it humbles my heart to see Cleopatra's Riches in store and online in major retailers like Indigo. And the hunger to serve others keeps me going to help more people fall in love with themselves around money again - or even for the first time. . What’s something about your journey that inspires you to keep going? . : Megpie Photography See more

Acknowledging and Working Through Stress . I was recently approached to provide my comments on Financial Stress. WalletHub, a US based Fintech company, was doing research on the least and most stressed States in America. . Financial stress is something many of us have experienced in our lives and right now is no different! In fact, many of us are experiencing this even more due to the impacts of the pandemic.... . What they came to me for though was not for my experience in the IQ side of the financial industry, but for my focus on the EQ side of it. . Emotions and money are central to people’s day to day lives and it is important that we open ourselves up to experiencing this conversation. In doing so, we evolve the financial conversation to include an essential element the way you feel! . I’d love to invite you to share this most poignant of conversations with me!

March Break - The April Edition . This is the scene around my house when we're all at home together. When I'm on a Zoom call, if I turned my laptop just slightly this is what you would see! And by my feet would likely be toy cars, dinos, along with puzzle and lego pieces to make sure I'm staying on my toes as a mom. . A part of me feels I notice it more now that we're all at home together again. How about you? Are you tip toeing around the obstacle course of toys at your hous...e? . : Megpie Photography See more

Elevating Emotions in the Financial Conversation . Talking about emotions and money is one thing, but I want to work to do more than that. I want to elevate them in the financial conversation until they become the essential part. . The reason is that when we welcome our emotions, we welcome ourselves and the financial conversation shifts from the overwhelm of knowing how to the comfort of knowing you. ... . The thing is, this isn’t the conversation we’re used to around money or managing it. Which is one of the reasons I was incredibly humbled and honoured to be welcomed by @chch_morninglive on CHCH TV to share about establishing the foundation for this conversation Talking to Your Kids About Money. . One of the things I believe in is starting and continuing the conversation, which is why I'm thrilled to be welcomed back in June to share more. .

May Your Coffee Be Strong & Your Mondays Be Great . Coffee is an integral part of life for me. So much so that a core analogy based on it made its way into Cleopatra’s Riches. . Between the past quarantine and Ontario locking down again, I’ve noticed my coffee consumption has increased. I’m definitely looking at 3 cups a day with milk and no sugar.... . What’s your coffee situation looking like? Let me know in the comments . : Megpie Photography See more

Starting This Year With What You Want This may sound simple, but it’s not easy. The reason is that it’s the opposite from what many of us are accustomed to. When it comes to our finances, we’re used to starting with a negative thought or idea to achieve a positive result. Common statements like I need to stop spending so much or I need to get out of debt reflect that negative idea. How do statements like this make you feel? If so, you’re not alone.... I want to help you create something different for yourself and realize your financial goals in 2021! To do that, we’re going to do things differently. I believe that every element of the financial conversation can be appreciating - it can allow you to become more of yourself. This starts and continues with a positive conversation that is focused on what you want. Here are 4 steps to help you have effective financial goal setting for 2021: Start with a positive statement Write an affirmation based on that want Step into the feeling of it Imagine what your life would look like Head to the link below to head to the blog I wrote for you on this! I’m invested in you and want to see you succeed! https://loom.ly/tedVlak Here's to an incredible 2021!

Thank you 2020 . It may seem like an odd thing to say to a year like 2020. One of the many things my mentor taught me was to acknowledge a year before moving onto the next one. It allows the year to become fuel moving you forward instead of a weight holding you back. . For me, 2020 was the year I launched Cleopatra’s Riches with a full heart ready to serve others with a different financial conversation. It all took place one week before the whole world locked down. This meant... that every event planned, every domino carefully laid out with work and planning all got cancelled. . Ultimately, I’m grateful because it caused me to look at what I still had a burning desire to help others. I realized that this was the timing for this conversation and that my responsibility to it was even greater. So I kept going. . That desire and sense of responsibility manifested into the results of 2020. The book’s message being supported by @guelphbox and @localbox_co, becoming a keynote and international speaker, writing for publications in North America and the UK, bringing my financial wellness training to companies and launching my advisor training. . So as 2020 comes to a close I celebrate its opportunities to overcome adversities along with the wins. As I look ahead, I renew my commitment as I welcome 2021 with open arms. . So, with this I say, thank you 2020 and welcome 2021 . From my whole heart, I'm wishing you a very Happy New Year! . : Ema Suvajac Photography and EVox Studios See more

A Whole New Year for a Whole New Conversation . In many ways, a new year signifies a new beginning to me. A chance to start anew an opportunity for change. . To bring change and different results, we must do things differently. That’s exactly what I am committed to continuing to serve the financial conversation with.... . I want to help you connect to your feelings and through that understand your underlying beliefs. It’s at that point that you can bring the change you want to your results. And it all starts with the way you feel. . As we approach 2021, I’d love for you to share the way you want to feel about your finances. Share with me in the comments below! See more

From My Family to Yours . Wishing you and yours a very Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas! . In many ways, the holidays are my favourite time of year. It’s the time with family, the food, the laughter and most of all, the gratitude for it.... . As a mom, my favourite thing is to look at the holidays from my son’s eyes while I have a festive drink in my hand . I’d love to hear what your favourite thing about the holidays is! . . cred: My husband is a kind man See more
