FIVEREPS: Intellectual Wealth

Show Notes
In this episode of Finance, Fitness, & Finesse, JaeVic breaks down the concept of intellectual wealth, the second dimension in the FIVEREPS acronym for wellness. Intellectual wealth, much like a financial investment, grows through the knowledge and skills we cultivate, providing long-term benefits like enhanced creativity, adaptability, and decision-making.
JaeVic explores how intellectual growth can fuel problem-solving and open doors to new opportunities, even when faced with challenges like burnout. She shares practical tips to expand intellectual capacity—embracing curiosity, welcoming diverse perspectives, and making small, intentional changes to routines. 
As the podcast heads into a holiday break, JaeVic encourages listeners to use the season to refresh their minds, invest in pursuits they’ve been putting off, and lay the groundwork for intellectual growth in the new year. Listeners are invited to stay curious, leave reviews, and connect with the finesser community as they prepare for more intellectual investments ahead.
