    But here’s the kicker: Negative money mindsets can hold us back—so how do we confront and change them? Bri and Dr. Jay share actionable steps, including exploring tools like financial therapy, to help you reflect, grow, and build a healthier relationship with money.

    Feb 5 2025

    Work with Bri and Dr. Jay! Schedule your Childfree Wealth Checkup here! https://childfreewealth.com/schedule-a-checkup/

    Being childfree comes with unique financial opportunities and challenges—and planning for the future requires a different approach. In this episode, we explore key strategies for childfree individuals to secure their financial independence and live a fulfilling life.

    We dive into the “die with zero” philosophy—focusing on fully enjoying your wealth during your lifetime instead of saving it for inheritance. Learn why long-term care, estate planning, and proper insurance (like disability insurance) are essential for your childfree journey.

    We’ll also discuss how to prepare for life’s unexpected twists, from relationship changes to shared living arrangements, with flexibility and confidence. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, it’s never too early to craft a plan for a rich and meaningful life—on your terms.

  • Finding Purpose Beyond Financial Independence with Doc G, Ep 120
    Jan 15 2025

    In this episode, Dr. Jay sits down with Dr. Jordan Grumet (Doc G) to explore his shift from full-time medicine to part-time hospice care—and the profound lessons he’s learned about life’s purpose along the way.

    Drawing from his upcoming book The Purpose Code (releasing January 7, 2025), Doc G breaks down the difference between “big P” purpose—goal-driven and ambitious—and “little P” purpose, which is about enjoying life’s journey.

    Discover practical strategies to uncover your own purpose, from revisiting childhood joys to conducting life reviews. We also challenge the idea of financial independence as the ultimate life goal and explore why human connection is key to true happiness.

    Tune in for thought-provoking insights and actionable takeaways to guide you toward a more fulfilling life.

    -Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers: https://sarazeffgeber.com/books/

    About our Guest: Jordan Grumet, born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973, found the spark to become a doctor after a deeply personal event reshaped his life's trajectory. The unexpected loss of his father, an oncologist, ignited a passion within him to practice medicine and instilled a unique vantage point that later melded seamlessly with his financial expertise. This convergence of roles has spurred him to explore profound notions like wealth, abundance, and financial independence with a thoughtful and critical lens. Completing his studies at the University of Michigan, Jordan earned his medical degree from Northwestern University before embarking on a journey in Internal Medicine in Northbrook, Illinois. Presently, he serves as an associate medical director at Unity Hospice.

    With expertise in medicine and finance, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018, earning a Plutus Award in 2019 and nominations in 2020 and 2021. He is the author of Taking Stock (2022) and The Purpose Code (2025), offering insights on financial independence, wealth, and purposeful living.

    Jordan's journey intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom, resonating deeply with those seeking a balanced, meaningful life.
