What is Wellness On Less?

My name is Stephanie Taylor Christensen and I’m a freelance writer and work at home mom covering the personal finance, small business, career and wellness beats. I founded Wellness On Less in December of 2008 in response to a life crossroads. I had more than ten years of marketing experience under my belt and a Master’s degree in the field, yet I was completely unfulfilled in my profession. My salary was stellar, but once I realized what life with two working parents and a newborn in daycare entails, it was evident that all the money in the world wouldn’t solve my needs. Contrary to what you might expect from a personal finance site, money was just about the only thing I wasn’t lacking. Yes, I’ve been poor, and in debt. I’ve also been quite well off financially. But at the peak of my salary grade, I was completely bankrupt in the sense of time, joy, and life fulfillment. It was at that time that I realized we all have a choice in our lives. What we choose to prioritize ultimately determines the outcome. That’s the ideology behind Wellness On Less.

You’ll find plenty of useful information on Wellness On Less about using money wisely, and living well. Depending on your current life journey, that may mean getting out of debt, living on a budget, managing finances through major change like recent college graduation, marriage, divorce, retirement, aging parents, death, or having children. It may mean eating more mindfully, and increasing your focus on health. Maybe it means walking away from a dead end job, or breathing new life into a career. Change is the only constant in life, and our needs for happiness change all the time.

 

As a freelance writer for media outlets like Mint.com, Real Simple, Intuit Small Business, Yahoo! Finance, Bankrate, ForbesWoman and SheKnows, to name just a few, I am always looking to build my connections and learn about new trends in personal finance, small business, career, health and wellness. If you’d like to hire me, have a general inquiry, story idea, or pitch, please contact me at wellnessonless@gmail.com.

Wellness On Less is about recognizing that happiness reaches far beyond dollars and cents. Each of us has the power to reshape the entire direction of our life journey, by investing our time and energy into what makes us whole, and eliminating the mindless distractions that deplete us.
