Community Feature: Aseel El-Baba

It's no secret that the 2020 pandemic has significantly shaken up most people's finances (which is probably an understatement). Money is one of the most universal emotional triggers for people, positive and negative. We attach an incredible amount of personal meaning to a seemingly unstable, cultural invention, and it is such a significant source of suffering. And yet, at the same time, money has incredible positive potential. As a tool, it's how we can build value and impact for others, and ourselves.

This is why we're excited to bring you the impactful work of Aseel El-Baba in this edition of our community feature. Aseel's company, Holistic Optimal Wealth, helps clients fulfill their financial goals by addressing the way they think, feel, and behave with money. Not only are financial challenges thoughtfully addressed, but her mission is to also attend to the emotional, psychological, behavioural, and relational hurdles that are intertwined which is accomplished through private and group financial coaching. She is now working on creating a membership community to provide constant tools, resources, and value to those interested in deepening their understanding and experience with abundance on a psychological and practical level.

We asked her a few of our favourite questions:

What change do you want to see happen in our world?

“I want to destigmatize the topic of money and create space for an open, honest and powerful dialogue so that breakthroughs can naturally happen. I want to disrupt what we’ve learned about money and wealth (how it is made, saved, invested, etc.) I want to inspire people to adopt the abundance mindset and cultivate a collaborative, connected and compassionate society. I want to heal people’s relationship with money to help them live in alignment with their values.”

What skills/projects are you pursuing to help make it happen?

“I'm on my way to completing training to become a psychotherapist and also have additional training as a member of the Financial Therapy Association. I have different partners and collaborative projects along the wealth creation process across stockbrokers, realtors, financial planners, wealth coaches and continue to grow this network.”

So in Our Better Selves fashion, check out Aseel's work, reach out to offer your support, or simply say hi. Together we'll continue to build this community up!
