    50. Moving Forward despite of Fear and Anxiety

    Welcome back to another personal episode about mental health. Lately, I’ve been dealing with anxiety attacks, and today, I’m opening up about my own experiences and the strategies I’ve used to move forward despite them. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or just looking for new coping techniques, I hope my story and tools will resonate with you. I share a couple of techniques that have been really grounding for me - starting with conscious breathing, which has been an incredible way to calm my mind. I also walk you through the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise, which is a simple but powerful technique to bring you back to the present moment when fear and anxiety start to overwhelm you. Beyond that, we dive into the importance of spiritual work and self-reflection. Whether it’s through prayer, meditation, or just some good old self-coaching, tuning into my spiritual side has been a game changer in managing my anxiety as it helped me to figure out what are some big steps I needed to take. Be sure to stay till the end for a very special announcement I have for you!

    43. Insurance 101: Understanding Insurance Policies, Budget Allocation, Spotting Red Flags in Your Agent | Diana Chong

    Hi friends! This week, we're back with an Adulting 101 topic that I think is really important to talk about – INSURANCE. Don't worry, we're not here to sell you anything! (I blame those pushy insurance salespeople who've given the industry a bad name.) I just wanted to have an Insurance 101 session on the podcast because there were so many things I didn't understand when I first got my insurance plans. In fact, I struggled to get insurance because of pre-existing mental health conditions and even had a bad experience with a dishonest agent. So I invited my friend, Diana, to come on the show and answer all the questions I had, to debunk the myths about health insurance, savings plans, critical illness, life insurance, and more. I really wanted to create this episode so you can avoid the rookie mistakes I made. Enjoy! About Diana Chong: Diana Chong is a passionate insurance agent who prioritizes her clients' interests with clarity and care. She approaches each client's insurance needs as if she were planning for her own family, ensuring they are fully protected and well-informed. Connect with Diana on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianachong/ TIMESTAMP: 00:00 intro 01:39 general understanding about insurance as adults 04:26 what insurance policies should you get started with 05:55 insurance savings plan vs. bank savings plan 07:33 what is a waiver in an insurance plan 08:15 minimum payment and application requirements for an insurance plan 09:31 Wendy’s struggle to get an insurance policy due to mental illness 11:11 what happens if you have an existing mental or physical illness14:50 Diana’s father’s treatment experience due to pre-existing conditions 15:55 Wendy’s hospitalisation experience 18:09 the price of medical bills if you don’t have a medical card 19:14 how often do you have to review your insurance policies 21:50 how frequently and how much to top up for your policies each year 23:15 how much budget should I be allocating for insurance 27:31what policies do you think everyone should get 31:42 Wendy’s unfortunate encounter with an insurance agent 38:28 red flags to look out for in insurance agents 42:54 connect with Diana! 43:49 outro Ask Questions or Request for Topics: https://forms.gle/AnbNfAS8MyszqrV56 For Sponsorship and Collaboration: hello@wendyvaz.com FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 🧡 SGBT Instagram: @smallgirlbigtalk 🌼 Wendy's Instagram: @wendyvazzy 💛 Wendy's Tiktok: @wendyvazzy
