In her latest book, The Money Class, personal finance guru Suze Orman discusses the importance of understanding individual lifestyle habits to make smarter financial decisions. She sits with close friend and new Inspiration Editor of EverydayHealth.com Jillian Michaels, to talk about her road to success and shares her thoughts on the relationship between health and wealth. Read excerpts of the exclusive interview:

On overcoming financial obstacles early in her career:

JM: Your dream of opening your own restaurant was shattered and additionally you were now $50,000 dollars in debt. This scenario would have devastated most people, and yet you accepted the intervention of fate, found meaning in it, learned from it and subsequently the woman you are today was born. How would you advise someone who is suffering a major failure or setback to not give up and fall apart? How does one "turn lemons into lemonade"?

SO: You have to understand every "no" leads you that much closer to a "yes." When one door closes another door opens. A great teacher once taught me that you've got to have faith that everything happens for the best. I have had many setbacks in my career and every setback has led me that much further into my truth. After a few years of being a stockbroker, in 1987 I opened up my own firm and had another major setback where one of my employees ripped off all my money. It closed me down for a year or two and I ended up $250,000 in debt.

That situation turned out to be the greatest thing that ever happened to me because that's where I learned to stand in my truth. That's where I learned that the truth will always lead you to a better place and a bigger place.

And every single setback, every single one, has led me ? not in my time, but in the time that it was meant to happen ? to a place that I never in a million years could have imagined that I could go or become.

So the greatest advice I could give you is the lesson I was taught: that you'd better have faith that everything happens for the best. Nothing happens in your life that isn't something that you are meant to learn to get you where you need to go so you can become who you are meant to be. And that meant-to-be might be someone you don't even know exists at this moment in time.
  
On the importance of making health a priority:
  
JM: I want to take a moment to bridge the gap here between health and wealth. You are often quoted as saying that our health and our wealth go hand in hand. Can you explain this statement?
  
SO: In most cases your health goes down the drain when you have wealth problems. You don't go to a doctor because you don't have the money. You don't eat the right food because you don't have money. You worry all the time because you don't have money. Your blood pressure is high because you don't have money, and on and on. This is why your health must be your priority.

You can have all the money in the world. You can be a multi-billionaire, but if you do not have your health it means nothing. Your health is the No. 1 important thing in your life.

JM: Can you share anything specifically about taking care of your financial priorities so you are able to take care of health issues? What should people know about saving for medical emergencies and or health insurance?
  
SO: I can tell you this: The No. 1 reason for bankruptcy today in America is medical expenses. For this reason, health insurance is really important and each person needs to sit down and understand what they need health insurance for. Ask yourself: Are you someone who needs to go for medical exams all the time? Do you often get sick? Are you on medication? That's a whole different type of coverage versus being someone who is generally healthy, eats well, and doesn't get sick often. Health insurance can go two ways: You can have more costly health insurance, which will cover every single time you go into the doctor except for a small co-pay, or if money is tight and you're fairly healthy, then you should acquire major medical health insurance, which is a necessity in the event of a catastrophic injury or health emergency.
  
JM: What health challenges have you faced, and what do you do personally to stay healthy?
  
SO: This past year has been incredibly hard on me. I've had a horrific back with herniated discs and problems with my lungs that have kept me up at night for weeks on end. Because of this I've become an expert on all of these topics. I research them myself. I even read the books written by the doctors I have seen. And ultimately, with the power of being informed, I trusted my gut and knew when to listen to the doctors and when not to in order to turn my health around. With patience, time, trial and error, and information I was able to rehabilitate my back and manage my asthma that I have struggled with since childhood.

Chord Overstreet, who joined Glee last season as recurring guest star and transfer student Sam Evans, will not be a series regular for season three, a rep for Fox confirms to PEOPLE.

"Well its been a good yr too bad its over," the actor, 22, Tweeted Friday, seemingly alluding to his diminished role on the show. "Time for summer and starting fresh."

The rep did not disclose the reason for the decision, but Overstreet might make his way back to the Glee gang as an occasional guest star, a source close to the show tells TV Line, which first reported the news.

So who got the green light for season 3?

Darren Criss, who plays Warbler crooner Blaine, and Harry Shum Jr., who plays dancing machine Mike, were both upgraded to full-time series regulars this fall.

The casting news comes on the heels of a recent promise from creator Ryan Murphy that some of the show's main characters would graduate by the end of season three.

"We didn't want to have a show where they were in high school for eight years," Murphy told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show last month. Vignette StoryServer 6.0 Sat Jul 02 18:01:28 2011

Cheryl Cole reportedly reunited with her ex-husband Ashley Cole at her birthday bash on Friday night (01.07.11), with the former couple said to be looking ''really happy'' in each other's company.

Cheryl Cole reunited with her ex-husband Ashley Cole at her birthday bash on Friday night (01.07.11).

The 28-year-old star - who divorced the England and Chelsea soccer ace in September 2010 amid allegations of multiple affairs on his behalf - spent the evening partying at London's exclusive Sanderson Hotel, allowing the beauty to forget her career troubles after being axed from the US 'X Factor'.

A close friend of Cheryl's said: "That evening they realised how much chemistry they still have and how much they mean to each other. Cheryl wanted Ashley at the party to share her special night.

Ashley and Cheryl looked really happy. It was obvious they were close.

"It's a liberating time for her - without 'The X Factor' she can be herself. Besides, she figured that since people were talking about her and Ashley being together again, she had nothing to hide.

"Ashley and Cheryl looked really happy. It was obvious they were close."

However, the reported reconciliation is said to have made Cheryl question whether they should have ever have got divorced in the first place.

The friend added to the News of the World newspaper: "Cheryl couldn't have looked happier when she was in Ashley's arms. It was just a small party for those closest to her. There were only around 40 there. Cheryl only had eyes for one man. They looked so in love.

"Cheryl now wishes they'd just separated. She's madly in love with her ex-husband and she's the happiest she's been for a long time. They both want to make this work. Finally their friends and family accept them, they just want the public to accept it now."
