After a hiatus, we're back! Tune-in for a preview of coming episodes.

Hello and welcome back to the fall season of Meaning vs. Merit. I'm Dr. Maria Christina, your host, and after a small hiatus, I'm thrilled to be back. The past few months have brought unexpected life events that demanded my full attention, but now I'm ready to dive back into some meaningful conversations. This season, we have a lineup of exciting episodes.

First, I'll be talking with renowned economist Dr. Fred Bergsten. With financial pressures and the rising cost of living on everyone's mind, I turned to Dr. Bergsten to help us better understand the economic landscape and how it impacts our pursuit of meaning and merit.

Following that, I'll be joined by prominent psychologist, Dr. Michael Tompkins, who will share practical mindset shifts to help navigate today's economic challenges more effectively. Together, we'll explore psychological tips that can guide us in finding balance between meaning and merit in a world that often seems to pull us in opposite directions.

In addition, I'll be speaking with a flow expert about strategies for balancing meaning-driven goals with merit-based achievements. We'll also delve into the role of education, status, and their influence in our search for fulfillment.

I'm excited to explore these topics with you and discover ways to enrich our sense of meaning while pursuing merit that motivates and inspires us. Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss any of our upcoming episodes.
