Full Episode - https://anchor.fm/drkeisha/episodes/A-Life-of-Detours-efo57s

This week, I'm excited to share that I'm featured on Episode Five of "Misadventures of an Inspired Woman," with my friend Dr. Keisha Thompson. I've been on podcasts before but this was extra special because you really get to see my true personality.

I'm currently listening to the episode laughing my butt off because I share the stories that shape me, from the culture shock of going to a PWI (predominately white institution - my college), to my grandmother's "bus outings" which was her official side hustle, to growing up hearing Spanish every day at home but not speaking it.

You really get a glimpse of the true me. Especially because I forgot to put on my "polished tone" for much of the episode aka code switch. Look it up!

The episode is titled A Life of Detours because my life has been one big detour leading me to where I am now.

I've noticed a trend in the past few weeks, although business are still shuttered, there is civil unrest and we're still in a global pandemic, my stock portfolio has still been on the rise. I have to say I was totally clueless as to why. In today's video, I seek to answer the question - Is the stock market a reflection of the economy?

It is super important that every dollar you earn gets puts to work making money FOR you. If you are not investing your money, the next best thing you can do is to save your money in a HIGH YIELD SAVINGS account. Gone are the days of parking your money in a low to no interest account. You might as well leave it under a mattress! These interest rates are changing weekly. The highs are gone, but the rates these banks are offering are better than brick and mortar banks like Chase or Bank of America. Plus they offer cool features to help you manage your money into sinking accounts.
