If you’re a FGP, this blog post and video below was surely written with you in mind!
If you aren’t, I’m sure you’ll still resonate with many aspects of our experience.
Allow me to break it down a bit…
You see, Candice and I were both born into working-class families where our parents weren’t fortunate enough to attend & graduate college with Bachelor’s degrees in our youth. (Candice’s mom did attain her Bachelor’s degree in her adult years) Therefore, it was quite the challenge for them to make ends meet during our upbringing.
And since the amount of money one makes affects so many areas of their lives, the things their children are taught to value and the motives they have growing up vary greatly when living in poverty versus with wealth.
As FGPs raised in underserved communities, the mindset we were taught was:
“keep your head down, follow the rules, get an education, don’t stand out, and be grateful for what you got“.
While it may have served us in that environment, it certainly came with its set of challenges after we managed to overcome the struggles of our environment, became the first in our families to graduate college, and land a professional job in middle-class corporate america.
It often came with so many challenges, that we often overlook the gifts that came with that experience. We also fail to understand how to thrive as FGPs in the workplace and life with such challenging backgrounds.
That’s why Wellthy & Relaxed is here, family! To help you understand the importance of building wellth daily to tap into our inherent gifts!
In the video below, I’ll be explaining what First-Gen Professionals are, and how that our experience growing up impacts us in life and the workplace.
My aim by the end of this video is to give you a renewed sense of understanding on how and why FGP’s operate the way we do, and how wellthy morning routine can help you turn those “curses” into “gifts” that can propel us to the highest of heights in life!
If you’re inspired after watching this and it’s because you too feel like it’s time to start showing up more powerfully, authentically, and confidently in life and at work, then PULL UP!
We’re working with clients who are tired of making excuses for themselves. Those who could use some accountability from someone who truly “gets it”, and has a proven framework that helps us prioritize our wealth AND well-being daily resulting not only in deeper pockets, but happier lives as well!
