How to Feel More Financially Secure
What is your financial outlook? Even if you are the breadwinner in your family or you are responsible for managing your family’s budget, you may not give a lot of thought to your financial future or might feel apprehensive when it comes to money. You are not alone.
Clinic Sofia recently tapped financial advisor Nicole Middendorf of Prosperwell Financial for some advice. You may recognize Middendorf as she is a frequent speaker and has appeared on several local media outlets sharing her expertise to help people better understand money. Following are three tips she recommends, if nothing else, to help women ensure their financial stability.
Beating Depression
Since depression comes in all shapes and sizes – postpartum depression, the winter blues and depression that arises due to a specific situation, for example – beating depression is never a one-treatment-fits-all cure.
If you are suffering from depression – whether it’s been a long-term issue or a recent challenge – it’s important to recognize that you are not alone. It is also critical to take an active role in your treatment, even when you don’t feel like it.
Ask Sofia: Should I Take Folic Acid?

A B vitamin, folic acid is needed by every single cell in the body for growth and development. Before and during early pregnancy, folic acid can help to prevent birth defects, specifically neural tube defects of the brain and spine – it might also serve to prevent cleft lip and palate and heart defects in babies.
