Episode description

Money and anxiety don’t go well together, but news headlines like to pair them up because, let’s be honest, hitting your emotional triggers is good for their bottom line.

Well, here’s some good news: You don’t have to fall for clickbait, and learning how to stay the course instead of reacting to their hot takes is good for *your* bottom line.

In this episode, I’m going to provide a light in the darkness with clear, level-headed, stay-sane advice to help you navigate the unknowns of external events–political, environmental, or otherwise–so you can ditch the anxiety and watch your wealth grow with ease.

And when could we possibly need that assurance more than with the current conversations about national politics? It’s a hot and timely topic right now, as Americans stare down a repeated match up at the polls in November.

Now, I’m not here to take a political position. I *am* here to talk about the potential impact of election cycles and other major world news on your investment portfolios. Before you listen to this 15-minute episode, know this: It’s not as dire as you might think.

Listen in to demystify the effect of elections on the markets, and get insights into strategies to safeguard your investment portfolio in potentially uncertain times.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:

How geopolitical risks—like wars, elections, and economic sanctions—have historically already been priced into markets, and what that means for your investments today,

Why we can count on predictable resilience of markets through global events,

How return follows risk, and when (and how) you might consider reducing your risk exposure,

A smart way to evaluate whether a certain stock is a good bet for your portfolio, and

What the research (and our experience) indicates is key to a stable growth trajectory in your investments over the long term.

We hope you walk away with the confidence that comes from knowing your money, future, and legacy are safe and secure–despite what the headlines might say.
