Some people are so poor all they have is money.
In this episode, I reflect on how the chase for success can quietly cost us our identity. When money becomes the measure of worth, we often sacrifice presence, integrity, and connection without realizing it. Drawing from my own journey and the people I’ve encountered along the way, I talk about the kind of poverty that doesn’t show up on bank statements the poverty of peace, purpose, and self.
This isn’t an episode against ambition or financial stability. It’s a conversation about alignment, about what happens when success is pursued without soul, and how easy it is to lose yourself through small compromises that feel necessary at the time.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected despite doing “everything right,” this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and redefine what it really means to be rich.
Remember: walk into the room like God sent you, not like you’re trying to prove anything.And kindness knows no weakness.
