Financial Fridays + Coach Colette Unplugged

Did you know that 860,000 people die from heart disease annually in the US? Or, that the prevalence of high blood pressure in Black women is nearly 40% higher than for white women? 46% of U.S. adults have hypertension, which is the leading risk factor for heart attack and stroke. In this week's episode of Financial Fridays, we share six practical tips to help you make your heart health a priority during this American Heart Month.  You'll also hear about an initiative called Release the Pressure, started by a collaboration of leading healthcare organizations including the American Medical Association, the Association of Black Cardiologists, the American Heart Association, and the Minority Health Institute. RTP is seeking to reach more than 300,000 Black women to encourage them to manage their blood pressure.

In this week's Unplugged segment, Coach Colette offers some guidance to help you explore your feelings of self-love and self-worth. She also recites the Hoʻoponopono poem to encourage you to express forgiveness to yourself for past grievances.  If you enjoyed this episode, why not share it on Instagram and tag @coach_colette!
