Description
The guest for this episode is Jerel Harvey, founder of Fedway Financial.
One of the factors that influence people’s decisions to stay in jobs that they hate and tolerate exposure to toxic culture is related to their financial situation. When a worker is being exposed to micro-aggressive behavior, hazing, bullying, harassment, or even violence, the decision to speak up, ask for help, and especially seek other opportunities is often directly tied to the target’s ability to meet their basic needs for healthcare (which is often controlled by the employer), shelter and food, as well as the targe’s attachments to their standard of living. Those more financially secure are likelier to push back against harmful behavior.
For other than those born to wealth, financial security takes not only determination, time, and effort; it takes a plan. Jerel dispels several misconceptions about financial planning and wealth management and clarifies that both are important concepts that can foster greater mental and emotional health.

Psychological Health and Safety in Government - with Mayor Maria Mitchell: Much of the focus regarding safety in the United States is on private sector organizations, given that the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 exempts state and local governments that do not have state plans. This fact, combined with the complex and often highly political nature of public services, often creates significant risk for government and public sector employees based on the diversity and extent of hazards they are exposed to, including psychosocial hazards. The environment can be even more hazardous for workers with cultural differences from the majority in a workplace. The episode features Mayor Maria Mitchell of the City of Miami Springs, Florida. She is not only an extremely skilled and experienced safety professional but a national leader in efforts to provide for the safety of government and public sector workers. Mayor Mitchell will share her perspective on physical and psychological safe by Psych Health and Safety Podcast USA
