This episode was recorded spontaneously in the car — because sometimes a conversation gets into your bones and you just need to think out loud.I’d been in a discussion about scarcity mentality, and someone offered the familiar antidote: shift to abundance. Think of air — nobody fights over air. And while I understand the appeal, my whole system was telling me it misses something essential. Things are finite. They end and begin again. And pretending otherwise doesn’t free us — it disconnects us.What I kept coming back to was something I learned during nearly a decade of hospice care. Sitting with people at the end of their lives, I found a different shift entirely. Not scarce to abundant. Scarce to precious.In this episode, I explore the chemistry of scarcity versus the chemistry of thriving, why I believe thriving is a birthright rather than a luxury, what it means to metabolize the emotions we’ve been taught to suppress, and a micro practice for the next time you feel yourself tightening around the idea that something is running out.Unscripted, unpolished, and straight from the car. It’s sort of how I roll... (: Thank you for listening!
