    • Episode 91: Mid-Winter Motivation – Keeping Your 2026 Health Goals Alive When Resolutions Fade
      Jan 30 2026

      In Episode 91 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, a Friday wellness episode set in mid-January 2026, host Norm Wright, a Certified Financial Planner with SKC Financial Group, tackles the widespread fade of New Year’s health resolutions among physicians as winter drags on and demanding schedules take their toll. Referencing physician lifestyle trends showing that many doctors launch the year with strong fitness, nutrition, or stress-management intentions but see over half slip by February, Norm emphasizes that these lapses are not failures but chances to refine goals for sustainability. Drawing from habit-building principles, he presents three effective strategies to maintain momentum: performing a mid-month goal audit to reassess and realistically adjust targets (such as shortening workouts during call weeks, with research indicating boosted adherence), building accountability through regular check-ins with a colleague, spouse, or group to transform setbacks into encouragement (linked to higher success rates), and incorporating meaningful non-food rewards for milestones to reinforce positive habits (shown to improve retention). These gentle adjustments help physicians combat seasonal burnout, enhance resilience for patient care, family life, and financial stability, and promote compounding small wins. Norm concludes with a seven-day challenge to implement one strategy, invites listeners to journal experiences and email support@skcfinancial.com for personalized tips, encourages sharing the episode with struggling colleagues, and teases the upcoming Tuesday finance topic—live for today, plan for tomorrow. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.

    • Episode 90: The Power of Roth Retirement Accounts – Why Tax-Free Growth Wins for Physicians in 2026
      Jan 27 2026

      In Episode 90 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, host Norm Wright, a Certified Financial Planner, explores the advantages of Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s for high-earning physicians in 2026, emphasizing their tax-free growth and withdrawals as a superior strategy amid potentially rising tax rates and longer lifespans. Using a compelling farming metaphor—paying taxes upfront on the "seeds" (after-tax contributions) to enjoy a fully tax-free "harvest" (growth and withdrawals) versus taxing the entire crop later in traditional accounts—Norm highlights how Roth options deliver more spendable retirement income, often 20–30% more according to referenced studies, with no required minimum distributions (RMDs) to avoid inflating Medicare premiums or Social Security taxes. He outlines three actionable strategies: understanding the Roth edge through the farming lens and running comparisons, maximizing contributions (up to $7,500/$8,600 for Roth IRAs and $24,500/$32,500 for Roth 401(k)s, including catch-ups) plus backdoor conversions for those over income limits, and leveraging Roth for flexible withdrawals, legacy planning with tax-free inheritance, and market volatility resilience—urging listeners to plant these "seeds" wisely this year for lasting financial freedom. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual. Withdrawals from Roth IRAs or 401(k)s are tax free if taken after age 59­½ and a Roth contract has been open for at least five years, unless another exception is met.

    • Episode 89: Relationship Recharge for Physician Couples – Quick Rituals to Strengthen Bonds Amid Busy Schedules
      Jan 23 2026

      In Episode 89 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, host Norm Wright addresses the often-overlooked strain on physician relationships caused by erratic schedules, emotional exhaustion, and limited quality time, citing the 2026 AMA Couples in Medicine Survey showing 62% of physician couples experience heightened stress, contributing to elevated burnout and divorce rates up to 25% above average. He introduces three quick, research-backed rituals to recharge bonds: daily 5-minute gratitude shares with specific appreciations to boost satisfaction by 22% and reduce arguments by 18% (as cardiologist Dr. James and his wife experienced during conflicting shifts); weekly 30-minute “no-work” date nights banning professional talk to cut emotional isolation by 28% (revitalizing companionship for anesthesiologist Dr. Lisa and her spouse); and quarterly one-hour life audits to align on family, finances, health, and goals, enhancing long-term happiness by 35% (helping radiologist Dr. Patel and his wife sync on vacations and Roth contributions). Wright emphasizes these streamlined rituals buffer burnout, amplify joy, and support smarter joint decisions, challenging listeners to select one ritual, practice it for seven days, note a positive shift, and email support@skcfinancial.com for personalized suggestions. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.
