In this episode, I reflect on abundance, freedom, and the deep realization that life is a gift given to us for us. So often, we tie abundance to financial success or external validation, but what if true abundance is found in appreciating what we already have? What if the path to joy and fulfillment is simply about being present, choosing what feels good in the moment, and recognizing that our lives are ours to live—not for others, but for ourselves?
I share my thoughts on climbing the metaphorical staircase of life one step at a time, the power of shifting our energy around daily tasks (like paying bills), and the importance of reclaiming our autonomy, even within marriage and parenthood. Most importantly, I explore the idea that the more we love our own lives, the more we have to give to others.
Key Takeaways:
🌟 Abundance is not just about money—it’s about appreciating where you are, what you have, and who you’re with.
🌟 The best way to move forward is one small step at a time, honoring your own pace.
🌟 Your life is a gift from God for you—not for your spouse, children, or society, but for you first.
🌟 Releasing the pressure of external expectations allows for greater joy, creativity, and peace.
🌟 Shifting your energy around everyday actions (like paying bills) can transform how you experience life.
🌟 The more you love your life, the more you naturally have to give to those around you.
