“I’m learning how to sit back and ask, do I want to be right or do I want to be in relationship?” ~Heidi Schalk
What does a dense banana bread have to do with your relationship with money, time, and energy? In this episode of The Energy of Money, Dr. Maria Nemeth welcomes Heidi Schalk, co-founder of HLH Growth Solutions and host of Be S.H.E. and Business Growth Spotlight, for a candid and funny conversation about the moments we decide we know better than the instructions.
Dr. Maria opens with the story of a trusted recipe she tweaked just a little, and Heidi shares the robot vacuum that has sat unused for years because she never read the manual. Together they explore how skipping the directions, whether for a knee device, a nightstand, medical advice, or wise counsel from those who came before us, quietly costs us the energy of time, money, and vitality.
Dr. Maria offers four words to keep where you can see them: Nevertheless, I am willing. Heidi adds her own instruction underneath: do it now, because there is no later. The episode closes with Dr. Maria reading Wendy Cope’s poem “Some Rules” and a reflection on pausing before you send that message when you are drunk with anger or resentment, along with Heidi’s question worth carrying into every heated moment: do I want to be right, or do I want to be in relationship?
