Financial Wellness with Nidhi Mathson

    Financial wellness is a vital part of adulthood, with the potential to make or break a person’s quality of life. With growing conversations around finances and bettering them, one might wonder: what does financial wellness look like, particularly when I’ve never seen it?  Our friend and financial planning expert, Nidhi Mathson shared her expertise around developing a financial growth mindest. Her earlier experiences were shaped by parents who were fiscally responsible, maintaining bills and saving for emergencies. But she, like many women, didn’t get to see much wealth-building, which is what most financial discussions focus on today.

    Having made her own vicarious jump from PR and marketing to life insurance financial planning, Nidhi gained new insights with this career pivot. As she navigated the transition between careers, Nidhi met with a financial advisor who supported her ability to stay afloat with a young, growing family.  The hope and peace of mind that her advisor instilled in her encouraged Nidhi to pursue a similar path. With Nidhi’s expertise, we’ve created a guide to help you develop stronger money management skills.

Financial Planning 101

    Financial wellness is a vital part of adulthood, with the potential to make or break a person’s quality of life. With growing conversations around finances and bettering them, one might wonder: what does financial wellness look like, particularly when I’ve never seen it?

    Financial planning begins with your first paycheck. The first thing that’s taken out of your paycheck is state and federal taxes, social security, and Medicare. With whatever is left over, you may pay bills, such as groceries, utilities, or rent/mortgage. Anything that is left over is for you to spend or save – consider paying yourself first – make a paycheck deduction for yourself that goes to an investment account and/or a savings account — this can be done by setting up an automatic deposit from your paycheck to these specific accounts. Any additional money left over is money you can spend guilt-free.

    When it comes to investing for the first time, one thing to remember about the stock market is that although it fluctuates, in the long term (10+ years), it’s historically trended upwards. Understanding your timeline and tolerance for risk will give you a better idea of how aggressive or conservative an investor you need to be.

    When the stock market is volatile, panicking and pulling money out can work against you – when the market is down, stocks are cheaper, so it may be a better time to buy. When the market is up, that’s when you will likely see the most gain. So, being patient when the market is down is important. Find investments that closely match your risk tolerance, so you don’t have to worry about losing money if that is your biggest fear about investing. 

    With generational behaviors having a direct impact on future output, it’s no surprise that most adults today are still struggling to make ends meet, falling short of many of the milestones that define the American Dream. While many young people are making immense strides, financially, it is still very challenging to “keep up” with the same socioeconomic trajectory as previous generations, leaving many of us confused and overwhelmed by what the future holds.

    From home and car ownership to having a successful work/life balance, there is a lot to juggle for the modern adult, whether they are coupled or not. For young women in particular, financial stability determines their options and freedom. With the age-old dichotomy between motherhood and shameless self-exploration, young women are being prompted now more than ever to have

Nidhi sitting pretty in a lovely candid.

a solid financial foundation, regardless of the path they choose.

    It is also important to note that a good career doesn’t necessarily guarantee healthy finances, which is where learning how to properly manage and invest one’s money comes to light.

 

“But I’m Just a Teenager, Why Do I Need to Be Thinking About My Finances?”

    Nidhi shared that “time is actually on your side” when it comes to financial wellness. The more time you have to build and enact a financial portfolio, the greater your financial history, which opens doors to a brighter future, sooner. Things like lower interest rates on credit cards, loans, and mortgages, and the ability to successfully lease a car, home, or apartment, are directly tied to one’s financial standing.

    “Financial wellness means putting your future-self first, while also taking care of your present-self.” Nidhi Mathson, a life insurance agent and financial advisor, shares her wisdom from first-hand experience. After making a major pivot into a field she never considered before, financial planning opened her mind, and wallet, to life-changing information about money.

    If there is one thing for you to remember, it’s that “budgeting, saving, and investing” are the cornerstones of financial wellness.

    Now that we understand the fundamentals of financial health, we can consider what that looks like in action. Proper budgeting, saving, and investing make it possible to successfully manage debt.

“But isn’t Debt Bad?”

    Debt, in the dictionary sense, isn’t the most ideal position to be in. However, our current financial system functions by rewarding debt (ever heard of tax breaks?). In other words, all debt is good debt, which is why learning how to manage it is so important. This is where credit comes in. 

    While it is a notoriously tricky option, one of the easiest ways to start building credit is with a credit card. With proper planning, it is possible to have a credit card without accumulating massive debt.  So, how is it done? To start,  making timely payments helps avoid or decrease high-interest rates. Nidhi shared that, “if you have a high interest rate (~7-10%), try to pay it off sooner rather than later. With a lower interest rate (~2-4%), you might be better off paying that off on time (vs. early) and putting some of the money into an investment that can earn you 7-10% back (more than the amount you're paying in interest).”

   Debt management is learning how to leverage it so that it ultimately starts working for you by generating more income that you can then budget, save, and/or invest for greater wealth.

“What if I Don’t Have A Credit Card or a Stable Job?”

    No matter what age you are or where you are in your financial journey, there is always something that can be done to improve your finances. If you haven’t been in the workforce long or if you face any other income challenges, start by budgeting and saving your money. A cool way to see these concepts unfold is through the “envelope method” Nidhi shared with us:

The Envelope System

    “This system involves having three or four envelopes, one for saving your money (maybe for a large purchase in the future, or just for a rainy day). The next envelope would be for budgeting, setting aside exactly the amount you need to spend on bills or regular costs such as gas or bus fare. Whatever is left can be divided into two additional envelopes: one for investing and one for spending. With the investing envelope, talk to your parents about how they can help you grow that money. The spending envelope can be used for anything - that is, money you can spend guilt-free.”

    Seeing money as a tool rather than something to fear or hoard, we can also realize that managing our finances isn’t so bad after all. When we are fully aware of our financial landscape, we are better able to prepare for and actualize our dreams and goals. So now, that dream house, car, or outfit you've wanted for years? That business you wanted to start or that degree you wanted to finish are now within reach once you make money management a priority. Budgeting, saving, and investing open doors and create stability that your future self will thank you for. The sooner you start taking intentional action toward financial wellness, the better; and it’s never too late to start. From our team at Thinkubator Media, thank you, Nidhi, for sharing your story and your expertise!

 

When Burnout Catches Up to You

By Blair Burrell

I once read that burnout doesn’t just happen overnight—it creeps in slowly, disguised as ambition and busyness. And whew, did that hit home.

Burnout is one of those things you don’t really notice until you’re in the thick of it. One day, you’re juggling tasks, meeting deadlines, and saying yes to every opportunity, and the next… you’re running on empty. The exhaustion isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and sometimes even existential. It’s not just about feeling tired. It’s about feeling disconnected from the very work, goals, and passions that once fueled you.

The Burnout Mask: When Overworking Feels Like Productivity

One of the hardest parts about burnout is that it doesn’t always look like exhaustion at first. Sometimes, it looks like overachievement.

But instead of feeling accomplished, you feel resentful, drained, and constantly behind. You start questioning why you’re even doing this in the first place. The same drive that once made you successful starts to feel like a weight you can’t carry anymore.

What Burnout Actually Looks Like

It’s easy to say, “Ooh, I’m just tired, but burnout isn’t just about needing a nap or a vacation. It’s deeper than that.

For me, burnout looked like this:

The Wake-Up Call: Rest Isn’t a Reward

For the longest time, I treated rest as something I had to earn. Like I had to “deserve” a break after I’d accomplished enough. But let me tell you—if you don’t prioritize rest, your body will force you to take it. And it won’t be in the form of a fun, relaxing vacation. It’ll be a crash and burn moment that makes everything feel unbearable.

I had to unlearn a lot of toxic productivity habits. The idea that taking breaks makes you lazy? A lie. The belief that if you’re not constantly “hustling,” you’re falling behind? A trap. The thought that burnout is just part of success? Not true.

How I Started Recovering from Burnout

Burnout recovery isn’t a quick fix. You can’t just take a weekend off and wake up refreshed. I ignored the signs at first, convincing myself it was just a “busy season.” But burnout doesn’t resolve itself—it demands attention.

It’s like that iconic line from The Devil Wears Prada: “I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.” But let’s be real—do you really?

Here’s what helped me:

Final Thoughts: Burnout Isn’t a Badge of Honor

We live in a world that glorifies grind culture. But if constantly overworking was the key to success, wouldn’t we all be thriving?

If you’re feeling burnt out, this is your reminder that burnout isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a signal that something needs to change.

So, if you’ve been running on empty, take this as your permission slip to step back, reassess, and prioritize yourself. Because at the end of the day, your well-being is the most important investment you can make.

The Strength of Empathy in Leadership

Photo by Christina @ wocintechchat.com on Unsplash

I was in a group meeting years ago where we did those typical personality tests that large gatherings usually entail. As we were broken into groups based on our main personality trait, two of the 10 women in the group, including me, were put in the empathy corner.

When others in the group were asked about how they felt about empathy as a leadership quality (this felt like a setup), a woman stated that empathy is a sign of weakness and isn’t ideal for a leader.

I hope at this point in the story, everyone is yelling, “Come on! That’s not true!”

Because it’s not true! Empathy is a superpower.

But to be fair, I understand why people might misunderstand empathy. To some, it might seem soft or unstructured—qualities that don’t align with the stereotypical image of a leader who is decisive, commanding, and unflinching. However, true leadership isn’t just about making quick decisions or barking orders. It’s about understanding people, building trust, and creating environments where teams can thrive. Empathy is the bridge to all of that.

Empathy allows leaders to listen more deeply. It helps them consider the perspectives and challenges of others, even when those perspectives differ from their own. This isn’t weakness—it’s a form of strength that leads to better decisions, more cohesive teams, and organizations where people feel seen and heard.

Let’s face it: people don’t follow titles. They follow people. And the leaders they choose to follow are often those who connect with them on a human level. Empathy enables that connection.

Empathy is what helps leaders recognize the unspoken struggles of a team member and offer support before it’s even asked for. It fosters innovation because when people feel safe and understood, they’re more likely to take creative risks. It’s also what ensures leaders don’t just solve problems but solve the right problems—the ones that matter most to the people they’re leading.

So, if someone ever questions whether empathy has a place in leadership, I encourage you to think of the leaders you’ve admired most. Chances are, their ability to listen, connect, and care was a big part of why you respected them. Empathy isn’t a liability—it’s the foundation of trust and understanding.

Empathy doesn’t make a leader weak. It makes them unstoppable.

“Listen to Yourself,” The Rest Will Follow: Meet Dr. Scyatta Wallace

Dr. Scyatta Wallace is the founder of the Janisaw Company and a trailblazer in the field of psychology. She has been featured in several notable media outlets, including CNN, Time, and Essence magazines. She has also received many accolades, including an award from the Women’s Division of the American Psychological Association. 

In our interview, Dr. Wallace gave us a look at what helps her achieve so much as she continues to strive while inspiring others. As a first-generation American with Liberian roots, Dr. Wallace faced many of the same challenges that Black and Brown women continue to encounter today.

However, her parents were so devoted to her and her brother’s success that they encouraged them to explore their curiosities early on. Dr. Wallace’s mother and father eagerly supported her early interest in science, giving her the freedom to dive into the multifaceted world of STEM to find her true passion. 

Dr. Wallace spent a lot of time shadowing teachers' assistants, professors, and colleagues in various labs across disciplines to get a taste of what the sciences had to offer. Her parents were supportive every step of the way. Eventually, she found solace in psychology. 

Since earning her Ph.D., Dr. Wallace has taken the psychology field by storm. Highlighting the importance of diversity, she shared how her unique upbringing as a first-generation woman influenced her experience and colleagues. 

Dr. Wallace’s upbringing as the daughter of immigrants has added a new perspective to the discourse and research she’s contributed to. Her own experience highlights the value of diversity in STEM and in all fields, giving us a chance to consider deeper and different questions that often dig up the need for change. 

Dr. Wallace was also a professor at St. John’s University where she bore witness to the importance of prioritizing our dreams over the goals and wishes of others, even our loved ones. She mentioned that there was a striking difference between the students who were following their hearts or following the wishes of others. In her case, Dr. Wallace’s parents’ loving support allowed her to blossom into her strengths, passions, and pursuits. She shared,  “If you’re doing things that are aligned with you, it’s easier to get through life and its challenges than when you’re pushing against yourself (doing something you don’t feel passionate about).”

One of Dr. Wallace’s most notable studies examined how various gender and race-based stereotypes, social pressures, and behaviors can negatively impact young Black girls’ self-esteem. The study, called “Gold Diggers, Video Vixens, and Jezebels: Stereotype Images and Substance Use Among Urban African American Girls,” brings awareness to social issues surrounding emotional wellness and potential health risks facing teenage Black girls. This study and others that Dr. Wallace and her colleagues have conducted continue to open doors for important conversations and lasting solutions for women and girls who are often overlooked. 

The study highlighted that one of the greatest remedies to harmful social pressures for Black youth lies in racial socialization. This form of race-based socialization is defined by the positive and lasting impact culturally empowering practices and experiences have on families and communities. One example includes educating our youth about accurate and inspiring culturally relevant people and events. Another small study cited in Dr. Wallace’s research revealed that Black youth who received messages and examples of Black pride and strength exhibited greater resiliency to harmful social pressures. By taking our identities into our own hands, it is easier to navigate the expectations and representations presented by the world as we become living examples of our innate excellence. 

As Dr. Wallace moves forward in her career, she continues to work with STEM students and professionals. As founder of the Janisaw Company, Dr. Wallace works directly with fellow founders and budding scientists alike,  particularly women and girls. She has also recently published a Success in Stem journal, a 52-week STEM journal to help young scientists stay organized and empowered. 

Amidst such mindful and consistent work, Dr. Wallace also shared how she has been finding ways to incorporate more rest into her routine rather than reaching burnout before considering true rest.

In a world where racism, sexism, and other detrimental social prejudices pollute our perspectives, it can be hard to make time to settle down. Many of the same harmful stereotypes and social pressures that Dr. Wallace explored in her study continue to affect Black women’s mental, physical, and financial wellness as we enter adulthood, even when we’ve already achieved greatness. Even when our loved ones are supportive and love us unconditionally. Even when we’ve achieved the American dream, it is up to us to make time for ourselves to embrace and enjoy our lives. This is much different from laziness, weakness, or anything else we may mislabel our need for rest and joy. 

Dr. Wallace continues to impact many lives while making the time to enjoy her own with her loving family and her teeming field of blossoming scientists. We look forward to seeing more of her groundbreaking work!

What is one intention that you are leading 2024 with?
One intention that I am leading 2024 with is mastering the art of pivoting. I’m learning to let things come and go as they are meant to. I am trying to embrace change with confidence, adapt when need be, and use any failures to help me FALL FORWARD instead of back.

Whether it's in my personal or professional life, I am committed to approaching each situation with resilience, creativity, and a willingness to explore new directions. (cues SERENITY PRAYER)

 

 

 

Mbadika: Meet Netia McCray and Her Limitless World of Ideas

Netia McCray grew up watching her parents make their dreams become reality. Her mother and father were scientists in their own right, demonstrating a particular knack for creation and production. 

Netia’s mother was a seamstress, demonstrating design development with her unique fashion creations for family and community members alike. Her mother would also spend her spare time teaching others how to nurture their own entrepreneurial spirits. 

Netia’s father was a mechanical engineer, working on cars and spending much of his time tinkering away at old gadgets and gizmos.

At the end of her junior year in high school, Netia was invited to check out MIT’s summer enrichment program, MITES (Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science). After aspiring to attend the school himself, her father fervently suggested that she attend the program. Unsure of what MIT had to offer, Netia was initially skeptical, assuming she’d be forced to learn nuclear physics. 

Once she reached the Cambridge campus, Netia was pleasantly surprised by MIT’s vast scientific opportunities, unveiling a rich world of potential. Netia was exposed to a unique network of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines, unraveling the mystery of science into something more digestible. Blown away by the fullness of STEM, Netia eagerly participated in the program and earned herself a full ride to the school as an undergraduate, making her family proud. 

Despite facing personal and social hardships, Netia was determined and graduated from MIT with a desire to bring her newfound passion to young students like her. She has been on a mission to demystify the world of science and open the doors of opportunity to more students of color ever since.

Shortly after graduating, Netia launched her company Mbadika, (bah-GEEe-kah), focusing on providing local Boston high school students with paid STEM internships. The internship program not only allowed the students to explore the sciences, but they also had a hand in developing some of the later programming for Mbadika. The first cohort of students contributed to the design and production of the MLAB field kits, which continue to inspire fellow explorers ages 8 and up.  Mbadika also recently launched a public workshop initiative, MLAB, to provide the general public access to STEM education in informal settings such as local shopping centers. Featured in a pop-up at the Cambridgeside Galleria, these biweekly workshops offered students and newcomers a taste of STEM by exploring the science of fashion or how to recreate items from popular films. 

Both the workshop and internship aim to bring various STEM concepts and practices such as design development, 3D Printing, digital content creation, and more. Netia has been able to present complex topics and ideas in a relatable and engaging way. In this way, Netia has successfully been able to empower people from all walks of life to take risks, be bold, and realize their innate ability to understand STEM.

5 Keys to Help Company Execs Implement an Inclusive Work Culture

Collective change has always begun at the grassroots level. Across civilizations, revolutionary paradigms have been born from the fierce, consistent, and united efforts of the people on the ground. Though many of these demands for fundamental rights have taken years to achieve, these efforts have brought about transformation.

An equitable future is not only the key to a healthy society but a healthy economy as well. A 2020 McKinsey report revealed that companies thrive when everyone is treated fairly. In a study that followed over 1,000 companies worldwide, it was found that the organizations that consistently prioritized DEI standards were more than 30% likely to outperform their peers financially. The companies that struggled with DEI implementation (for any number of reasons) saw slowed growth and performance overall.

Today, we ask Dr. Tana Joseph for an overview of how executive leaders can actively get involved with implementing change. She highlights five key areas of focus for executives to consider when creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) experience. 

Active belief in DEI work and all that it stands for 

Taking DEI work seriously is at the heart of implementing effective and lasting policies. Seeing DEI regulations on the same level as safety and health regulations can make it even easier to consider their importance. When equity is viewed as a fundamental part of company culture, we make natural strides toward creating a sustainable and welcoming environment for all. 

Engage with staff, members, and fellow executives to show interest, improve interpersonal dynamics, and share perspectives. 

Hold and attend company meetings, trainings, and events that highlight and support diversity and inclusion efforts. Get to understand what your team needs then collaborate on creative solutions. 

Check your stats and revisit them regularly. 

Consider your company’s HR statistics such as retention rates, racial and gender demographics, wages, engagement, and all of the inner workings of your organization. Taking so many details into account can seem daunting, but it’s helpful to create SMART  (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. You will start to see the effects of your actions by breaking your goals down into smaller steps. With time, your organization will be taking strides toward a truly inclusive future.  

Bring in outside help wherever needed. 

Considering the various ways that your organization can embrace a healthy future, you may need outside help. Rather than taking on DEI efforts and foundational changes alone, it is most effective to bring in industry experts. Just as you would hire an accountant for financial management or a photographer for professional headshots, a DEI expert can help your team achieve a lasting sense of equity and fairness. 

Work on the inclusion part of DEI efforts before worrying about meeting diversity quotas. 

Although diversity is important, doing too much with little awareness of other cultures and experiences can readily backfire. To make the diversity of your company a genuine and well-rounded part of your organization, focus on inclusion first. It is essential to understand and address any lingering issues within your company at present. Ideally, you can then collectively lay the foundation for a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive work culture. 

Although the responsibility of change is often placed on those who need it most, true transformation in company culture can only happen with buy-in and investment from executives and leadership. Following the five steps featured here is a great start, but if true change is to happen, DEI must be thought of early, often, and integrated with all the company does, rather than its own separate category.

A Goldin Age: Ushering in an Era of Socioeconomic Equity for Women

 

Photo courtesy: CNBC

Claudia Goldin recently claimed the Sveriges Riksbas Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for her work on the gender pay gap. Her decades of study have advanced our understanding of the way that women experience the labor force. She combines economics with history to paint a full picture of the feminine experience in America, highlighting how our roles outside of work greatly affect our presence in the traditional labor force. 

Consider how women’s labor wasn’t federally recognized until 1920, during World War I. At this time, fewer men were available to continue the growing industrial labor on the homefront. Naturally, women stepped to the plate with their sleeves rolled up, ready to learn and master these new skills. 

Despite taking on this newer work, women’s families and communities continue needing them, creating a unique juggling act for most women. By understanding the complexity of women’s role in economics, we can see the absolute demand for more equitable and honorable compensation. 

As an author, researcher, Harvard professor, and labor economist, much of Professor Goldin’s focus has stayed on women's role in the country's economic development. Professor Goldin’s expertise makes her a pillar of change in a new socioeconomic structure. 

Goldin’s work encourages us to honor women as the cornerstone of all labor across the globe. The amount of care and energy that goes into supporting households, loved ones, and our dreams (successfully, at that) reveals that women’s labor is essential to human development.

Treating women as a lesser social pawn when we are, at most, empowered co-creators has been a great disservice to our global community. Goldin’s economic chronology invites us all to truly consider and honor the immensity of women’s labor. By contemplating and respecting the complexities of all people, we invite ourselves to a much richer human experience.
