Hi 👋I’m Tova the creator of

healthyandbroke.com . Healthyandbroke.com started on Facebook a few years ago, when I had been going through a lot of upheavals in my life; both relationship and health. I needed a place to talk/write about life’s highs and lows, and with a special blessing from my close friend, I had the courage to go put pen to paper.

One of the first posts I had written was on ‘being healthy, but broke bc of it’. And then I got to thinking, "why am I in this situation,” ‘where being healthy is literally breaking my bank’. And that’s how I came to start writing on the topics of wellness, finance, and politics.

What I do when I’m not researching/writing/and talking to the general public:

I work in product development, am in the process of publishing three uniquely themed newsletters, developing a course/webinar on the ethical dimensions of healthcare, currently finishing coursework on Compensation, and reading [current books, articles and essays: The Complete anti-Federalist, The Color of Everything].

The only realities in life are that you are born, and that you die. We always think we are going to live forever. The dying aspect we will never accept. The one thing about having this kind of warning is how you appreciate every single day of life.
