Prepare to be triggered! No, really. Let’s be honest… most of us grew up feeling awkward around the conversation about money. If we’re honest, we hardly learned anything about money growing up. Except the classic: “Money doesn’t grow on trees” “Money is hard to make” “Only spend what you have” “Save, save, save” Our goal is to break down some truths around money… but not only that, the real conversation is around abundance vs. scarcity. It’s time to have the convo… and while it will probably trigger you at first, if you’re open to it, this conversation could free you. In this episode we talk about what scarcity is, what abundance means, how to identify your limiting beliefs, how to create new beliefs, and how to put into action those new beliefs so you can ultimately change your life. Are you ready for it? If you loved this episode, please rate, review and subscribe! Your 5-star reviews help us more than we can say.

WARNING: This episode may trigger some. We brought on one of our favorite people ever, and past guest of the show, Angie Lee of the Angie Lee Show. You might know her. Angie has a global brand and following on her Instagram and Podcast. Recently, she underwent a serious explant surgery to remove her 10-year old implants she got when she was just under 20 years old. In this episode she gets real and raw about her story and journey to self-love and the removal of her implants, something she identified with for a decade. We have met very few who are as brave and transparent as Angie Lee. We brought her on because we believe there's an underlying story here that needs to be talked about... and that's one about self-love and positive body image. If you're someone with implants, we want to stress that we aren't sharing this episode to attack you. This is simply a story from an honest perspective and we hope you receive it with the love that we intended to share it with.
