Five Essential Ways to Maintain Emotional Wellness This Week: 1?? Stress Management: While election results roll in, practice intentional stress reduction. Try scheduling specific times for news updates and using meditation/breathing exercises in between. 2?? Be Social (Mindfully): Connect with colleagues and friends, but set healthy boundaries around political discussions. A lunch break with supportive coworkers can help maintain perspective. 3?? Feel Your Emotions: Election weeks can trigger strong feelings. It's okay to acknowledge them - keep track of what sparks anxiety or hope, and express these emotions constructively. 4?? Balance is Key: Don't let election coverage consume you. Maintain your work-life balance by sticking to regular routines, family time, and necessary rest. 5?? Find Your Bliss: Engage in activities that bring you joy and purpose outside of politics - whether that's your favorite hobby, exercise, or creative outlet.

As National Hispanic Heritage Month draws to a close, let's shine a light on the persistent wage gap. ?? The Hard Truth: Latino & Hispanic workers earn only 80-85% of what their white counterparts make in similar roles. This isn't just a statistic—it's a reality that impacts lives, families, and entire communities ?? What Does This Look Like? ?? For a $50,000 salary, Latino & Hispanic workers might only see $40,000-$42,500 ?? Over a 40-year career, this gap could mean $300,000-$400,000 in lost wages ??? The Ripple Effect: This wage gap doesn't just affect individual paychecks. It creates barriers to: ?? Building generational wealth ?? Investing in education and future opportunities ?? Homeownership and business creation ?? Supporting local economies ?? Securing a comfortable retirement This National Hispanic Heritage Month, and E.V.E.R.Y. D.A.Y. let’s:? ?? Raise awareness about wage disparities ?? Support policies that promote pay equity ?? Amplify Latino & Hispanic voices in workplaces and leadership roles ?? Invest in education and professional development for Latino & Hispanic youth #HispanicHeritageMonth #PayEquity #EconomicJustice
