    Hey there, it's me, Shelby, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to today's podcast! Let's talk about something that's close to my heart: creating space for healing and abundance. You know, I've been thinking a lot lately about how we can break free from that fear cycle and make room for real growth and healing, both emotionally and physically. As Wayne Dyer once said, "abundance isn't something we acquire; it's something we tune into". Once you start tuning in, incredible things happen. We've all been fed the lie of scarcity. It's time to break free from that mindset and embrace the truth: there's more than enough good and healing to go around. So, join me as I share some personal stories, insights, and practical tips for cultivating gratitude and intentionally creating space for abundance in our lives. This podcast isn't just about healing; it's about living the life you've always dreamed of. So, grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let's dive in together!
