Podcasts about scarcity mindset

I've wanted to have this conversation for a long time. Clutter is a trauma symptom. And the reason many people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they just can't let go, no matter how hard they try, has nothing to do with motivation or willpower.  Grab a spot in my free masterclass, Break the Clutter Cycle!SEE MORE▷ Instagram▷ FREE: Declutter Your First Room Blueprint ▷ FREE: Clutter Roadmap QUIZ▷ The Mind Your Home Podcast on Apple

It is so easy to fall into a scarcity mindset: the toxic belief that there just isn't enough success, money, or audience to go around. When we believe the system is broken and everything is unfair, we stop seeing other people as allies and start seeing them as competition.In this session, we talk about how a scarcity mindset pressures us to compromise our integrity. It tempts us to cheat, to sell things we don't believe in, and worst of all, to turn the real people in our community into "content fodder" just to make ourselves look good.The biblical way to fight the scarcity mindset isn't to hustle harder or hoard your resources—it's to be radically generous. Instead of panicking and rushing into debt the next time you face a massive hurdle or an unexpected bill, try stopping and asking: "I wonder how God is going to solve this problem?"

Gentlemen, we're two weeks out from Father's Day and this Q&A hit me right in the chest. We've got Joe the Legend joining me today, a father of five who brings that earned wisdom — the kind that only comes from years of being in the trenches, making mistakes, and choosing to grow through them. This conversation is real, raw, and exactly what this community is built on. We tackle two questions from the Alliance today. The first one is about a 12-year-old daughter who's been lying and stealing from family members — and how to guide her toward accountability while keeping the relationship open and safe. The second one is something almost every dad I know battles: losing patience by the end of the day when the tank is completely empty. Joe drops some of the most honest perspective you'll hear anywhere on why kids lie and steal, what birth order has to do with it, and how a scarcity mindset can drive behaviors you'd never expect. And then he shares something that personally rocked me — that impatience isn't a discipline problem. It's a selfishness problem. That one landed hard, and I'll explain why. This is the kind of show that reminds you why we're here. Not to be perfect dads. But to be intentional ones who keep showing up, keep learning, and keep choosing our kids — even when we've got nothing left in the tank.   Timeline Summary [1:01] Larry introduces the show and a special four-part June offer for new Dad Edge Alliance members [1:38] What's included: signed copy of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood, two courses, and a brand new PDF resource [3:39] Today's two topics: how to handle a child who is lying and stealing, and losing patience by end of day [4:00] Morgan (The Engineer) asks his question: his 12-year-old daughter is stealing from family members, often tied to jealousy [5:36] Joe shares that lying is almost always a defense mechanism and stealing is tied to either scarcity mindset or attention-seeking [6:55] Joe reflects on growing up without enough — and how that scarcity mindset made stealing feel necessary as a kid [8:10] Joe raises the birth order question: second borns can feel like second best, and attention imbalance can drive behavior [9:38] Joe's reframe: are you unintentionally reinforcing scarcity in your home, or creating uneven attention among your kids? [12:08] Larry tells the story of his son Mason getting caught shoplifting at age 11 — caught on video at a local store [15:28] Larry calls the store, finds out the owner is a retired cop, and decides not to protect Mason from the consequences [17:49] Larry takes Mason to face the store owner directly and tells his son: whatever this man asks you to do, you're going to do it [20:34] The 30-day consequence plan: daily chores, journaling gratitude and reflections, and a final trip to the police station [22:15] The Sonic parking lot conversation — where Mason finally broke down and told the truth about why he did it [23:37] Mason's real confession: he was afraid of losing another friend if he didn't go along with the theft [25:51] Calvin asks his question: how do you stay patient at the end of the day when you're completely drained? [27:40] Larry's answer: surrender before you walk in the room — pray and admit you can't do it alone [29:50] Joe's reframe on patience: it's listed as a fruit of the spirit in Galatians, and a lack of it is rooted in selfishness [31:18] Joe's inner monologue when he feels impatience rising — asking himself whether it's about him or about the person in front of him [34:29] Joe reflects on the relationship he has with his oldest son today, and why patience made it possible   Five Key Takeaways Lying is almost always a defense mechanism — when your child lies, look first at what they're afraid of, not just what they did wrong. Stealing in kids is usually tied to either a scarcity mindset or an attention grab — ask yourself if you're unintentionally reinforcing either one in your home. When your kid does something wrong, connection has to come before correction — Mason's breakthrough happened in a Sonic parking lot, not in a punishment. Impatience isn't a willpower problem, it's a selfishness problem — if you're losing patience, something is encroaching on your agenda, and recognizing that shifts everything. You cannot white-knuckle sustainable patience on your own — whether through faith, community, or both, the fathers who show up consistently are the ones who know they need help.   Links & Resources The Dad Edge Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/join Questions for the Car (free PDF): https://www.thedadedge.com/kidquestions Episode Show Notes: http://thedadedge.com/1489   Closing This episode is a reminder that the best fathering doesn't happen when we have it all together. It happens in Sonic parking lots, in honest conversations after long days, and in the moments when we finally stop trying to do it alone. Joe's story about his oldest son hit me differently today — knowing how far they've come, knowing there's no reason they should be close, and hearing him say that patience is what made the difference. That's the work, gentlemen. That's exactly the work. If today's conversation meant something to you, pass it to a dad who needs it, leave us a five-star review, and keep showing up for your family every single day. Go out and live legendary.

The real mistake isn't spending too much. It's dying with money you never used. Bill Perkins built a career generating over $2.2 billion in trading profits as a hedge fund manager. His book Die With Zero reframes what money is actually for. Money is a tool, not a goal. Every dollar you hold at death represents life energy you spent earning it and never converted into something real. The question isn't how much you save. It's whether you're using your wealth, your health, and your time together, in the right order, to get the most out of your one shot. That's where memory dividends come in. When you invest in an experience, you don't just get the moment. You get a return every time you recall it, tell the story, or relive it in conversation. The joy compounds long after the trip ends. But timing matters more than most people realize. Your ability to convert money into meaningful experience decays as you age. The adventures your body wants now won't be available at 72. Life is like Tetris. Get the pieces in the right order, and you get everything. Delay too long, and the window quietly closes. Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life Amazon Ebook Audiobook Bill on X Bill on Instagram In this episode you will: Understand the Die With Zero philosophy and why every dollar you die holding is proof you worked for no reward Discover the memory dividend concept and why investing in experiences now pays compounding joy long after the moment passes Learn the time bucket framework for getting your biggest experiences in the right order before your body, not your bank account, makes the decision for you Identify the biggest psychological crime around money: fearing you'll run out instead of fearing you'll waste your one life Build the belief, mindset, and consistency that Bill Perkins says are the three keys to earning more and actually feeling fulfilled by what you have For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1937 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [$0-1M Blueprint] Mrs. Dow Jones Myron Golden TOPICS Bill Perkins, Die With Zero, memory dividends, time buckets, life is Tetris, scarcity mindset, net fulfillment, legacy and inheritance, Your Money or Your Life, financial fulfillment Get More From Lewis!

What if your money could fund the future you actually want to live in? That is the question Alix Lebec has spent her career trying to answer. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Alix, founder of Lebec, a firm built to mainstream innovative finance and put more capital to work on some of the world's biggest problems. Alix grew up between France, South Korea, and China before finishing high school in Dallas, Texas. That global upbringing shaped everything about how she sees money, risk, and opportunity. She built her career inside global development, philanthropy, and asset management before launching Lebec during the height of the pandemic to bridge the gap between traditional finance and meaningful change. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of innovative finance strategies, including how blended finance can turn $1 million in philanthropy into $50 million in private investment capital that would otherwise sit on the sidelines. Alix breaks down why women in impact investing are not choosing between returns and values, and why that false choice has kept too many people out of the room for too long. Lebec operates across three pillars. The first is strategic advisory. The second is a boutique investment manager that builds diversified portfolios of private market funds across sectors like water, oceans, and deforestation. The third is narrative change through commercial film and storytelling, where innovative finance structures put capital directly in the hands of social entrepreneurs. Alix is also raising a $1 million seed round to scale the vision. This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered whether her money can do more. Impact investing for women is no longer a niche conversation. It is becoming one of the most important conversations in finance.

Behind every decision you make, there's a background assumption running: "do I believe there is enough, or do I believe there is not enough?" Enough opportunities, enough good options, enough time, enough resources. That assumption changes everything. In this episode I dig into how abundance and scarcity shape our choices in career, relationships, and life. Also, why every generation has predicted the end of civilization and been wrong, and how I discovered that the guy who "didn't feel fear" had actually built his entire life around avoiding it.--- P.S.: If you like this podcast, you'll probably enjoy seeing Scott present live. If you are interested in having him speak to your organization, you can see the options and schedule time to talk with Scott about your event here: https://scottwozniak.com/speaking/---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly idea, story or cool tool.

My dad was an Irish immigrant who built a cheap-ass pantry in our basement and stocked it with cans of V8 juice after every can-can sale. I absorbed more than the hoarding habit. I absorbed scarcity thinking — and carried it straight into my leadership for years. This episode is about that. About zero sum thinking, why it shows up in workplaces, and what it actually takes to get to the other side of it. Spoiler: it's not a policy. It's a choice you make every day. What you'll take away: The pantry you're carrying: How childhood scarcity messages show up in adult leadership behavior — and why it makes sense that they're there Zero sum at work: What scarcity thinking actually looks like on teams, and why it's the enemy of inclusive culture The ARC as an abundance practice: How Ask, Respect, Connect is built on the assumption that there's enough — and why that makes it work The daily choice: What it looks and feels like to practice abundance as a leadership discipline, not just a mindset Connect with Me The Newsletter: This week in the newsletter, I wrote about San Antonio recognizing trans history, Elim Chan breaking a 115-year symphony ceiling, and World Cup seats becoming affordable for New Yorkers, and more!

Most people think clutter comes from being too busy or not organized enough. But what if the real reason your space keeps filling back up is that you're holding onto things that are tied to a version of you God is asking you to release? In this episode, Emily breaks down why clutter keeps coming back and why it has nothing to do with discipline. She unpacks the seven types of clutter that are quietly revealing what you're still carrying, and helps you see how your space is often mirroring the version of you that no longer fits the season you're stepping into.  Beyond that, she walks you through a simple, faith-led framework to help you shift not just your space but your spirit. This isn't just about having a perfect home. It's about a woman who lives in alignment. Because the truth is, what you keep is shaping who you remain, but what you release determines what God can do next.

Are jealousy, fear, or comparison shaping your faith? What if scarcity is keeping you from experiencing the fullness of God's kingdom? And what does abundant faith actually look like?

What is your envy telling you?

Most of modern relationship culture teaches people to secure their worth by raising the standard on what others must deliver. The louder the declaration of “I deserve more,” the more evolved one is presumed to be. But this entire framework rests on a fundamental inversion: it asks the external world to supply the quality of presence, consistency, and care that the individual has not yet committed to supplying for themselves. This is an outside-in approach to an inside-out problem. When you require others to give you a level of emotional and energetic investment that you have not consistently given to your own interior, you are not setting a standard. You are outsourcing the development of your own self-relationship. You are asking another person to finish what you have left incomplete with yourself. In this arrangement, their effort becomes responsible for regulating what your own consistency has not yet stabilized.

"...but maybe, for example, that scarcity mindset is also going to make me kind of look around and say, 'I've got to keep this job.' So, I'm scared to take risks. I'm scared to, maybe, change the culture that really is diminishing my wellbeing, and also causing, or really influencing this burnout at work."Burnout isn't just about work.It's about what's happening outside of it.Financial stress is quietly shaping how people show up every day—draining energy, reducing focus, and lowering engagement in ways most organizations don't fully understand.In this episode of Personalization Outbreak Podcast, Camden Cusumano—PhD candidate in Financial Planning at the University of Georgia—joins Glenn Llopis to explain:

Do you ever feel like you're behind in life? Like everyone else is hitting milestones while you're stuck waiting for your life to finally begin? Whether it's your career, relationships, finances, or major life milestones, this episode dives into the psychology of feeling behind, comparison, and the pressure of the invisible timeline we all think we're supposed to follow. From your late 20s into your 30s and beyond, it can feel like a race: finding a partner, advancing your career, buying a home, starting a family. And if you're not there yet, It's easy to spiral. But there's no correct cadence to life. We become so obsessed with hitting that next milestone we completely miss the beauty of the stage we're in right now. If you've ever thought: “I should be further along by now” or “It's too late to start over”… this episode is for you. Tune in to hear: Why you feel behind in life (and the psychology behind it) How comparison and social media distort your timeline The cost of chasing milestones and “the arrival fallacy” Practical ways to stop comparing yourself to others How to bring what you're craving (love, kids, success) into your life right now Remember, your life isn't on hold.., It's happening right now.

I used to feel like I had to be serious to be taken seriously. The imposter syndrome was real. And it landed on top of something older: a scarcity mindset I inherited from my immigrant parents. Together, those two things made me heavy, desperate, and honestly, not very fun to be around. In this episode, I share what I noticed, what I changed, and why making play my word of the year turned out to be the best leadership decision I ever made. Takeaways Scarcity shows up in your leadership: The wiring we inherit doesn't disappear when we start a business or step into a leadership role. It shows up in every decision we make, until we notice it. Performing credibility blocks connection: When I was trying so hard to be taken seriously, I stopped being present. And presence is the whole game in inclusive leadership. Play is a leadership strategy: Pickleball, improv, Dungeons and Dragons. These weren't distractions from my work. They were the thing that made my work work. The ARC starts with presence: Before you can ask better questions and genuinely connect with people different from you, you have to actually show up. Not a managed version of you. You.

On this episode of Save The Date Reacts, Jamie and Heath get into one of the biggest issues in modern dating: people are often dating from panic, projection, and performance instead of clarity. The conversation starts with scarcity mindset and the pressure people feel to chase one narrow idea of what love is supposed to look like. From there, the episode moves into how optionality can make people treat dating like a numbers game, why real value in a partner goes deeper than looks, and why alignment matters more than entertainment. The episode closes with a deeper conversation about happiness, self-work, and the unrealistic expectations people place on love. This is a grounded, thoughtful discussion about modern dating, relationship standards, compatibility, and the truth that while love can support your joy, it cannot become the source of it for you. Clips discussed in this episode: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWwQLsZDkHk/?igsh=d211dzhsMW56MHo1 https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWpIKqFD8Y-/ https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWHwebRjkrD/ https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWsx8oVjTQU/ Join the conversation: Are people dating from abundance or anxiety? Has the numbers game made dating more shallow? Do people really know how to recognize value anymore? Can love support happiness without being responsible for creating it?

In this conversation, Brandon sits down with Karen Calderon aka The Money Chica, a certified financial coach whose brand centers on helping people feel clear, confident, and in control with their money. They talk about budgeting, behavioral finance, scarcity mindset, cultural differences in financial literacy, credit card debt, and why financial clarity has to come before trying to fix everything else. Karen's approach emphasizes getting clear on what is really causing money stress, building a system that fits real life, and aligning spending with what actually matters. They also discuss money in relationships, why couples often struggle to communicate about finances, and why sharing life often means sharing money too. The Money Chica site highlights that clarity, support, and realistic systems are the foundation for long-term financial peace. #financialliteracy #moneymindset #budgeting The Money ChicaKaren Caldarone, Certified Financial Coach, M.A.https://themoneychica.com Hosted by James Walters, CIMA®, CRPC®, and Brandon West, CPA, co-owners of West & Walters Tax and Wealth Management, a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and tax firm based in Carlsbad, California.

The doula community talks about abundance mindset constantly, but the actual behavior in many local communities tells a different story. In this episode, Dr. Robin Elise Weiss and Dr. Hillary Melchiors dig into the professional dynamics that shape how doulas treat each other across the experience spectrum. They name what a scarcity mindset actually looks like in practice, why it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and why newer doulas often misread what established doulas can and should offer them. This is a direct, honest conversation about the professional culture that determines whether doulas stay in this work long-term or burn out trying to fight for a piece of a pie that was never shrinking.   The episode moves through mentorship as a practical structure, the difference between what newer doulas think they need and what actually builds their practice, pricing psychology as a confidence signal, and the underexamined role that race, class, and geography play in who gets included in local doula communities. Robin and Hillary make the case that the doula community serves everyone better when established practitioners function as connectors rather than gatekeepers, and that reciprocity, not charity, is the right frame for inter-doula relationships. If you have navigated a competitive local market, been on either end of a mentor-mentee relationship that went sideways, or wrestled with your own scarcity thinking, this episode is the conversation you have probably needed for a while.

If money keeps slipping through your fingers, or you panic every time it arrives, this episode explains why. The problem isn't your budget, your discipline, or your strategy. It's what your nervous system was trained to believe money means.In this episode, I breaks down:• Why money triggers your body's threat response• The neuroscience of money blocks (amygdala, cortisol, and pattern-matching explained simply)• The 3 money nervous system patterns: The Spender, The Saboteur, and The Worrier• 3 somatic steps you can take TODAY to rewire your relationship with money• Why affirmations don't work until you do this first

"Scarcity is not about money; it's the fear that life is not supporting you." What if the reason nothing ever feels like enough has nothing to do with how much you have? In this deeply eye-opening episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson takes you beyond money, success, and external results into the hidden pattern quietly shaping your entire life: scarcity. You may be growing, achieving, and doing all the right things, yet still feel a subtle pressure, a tension, a sense that something is missing or could disappear at any moment. This episode reveals why that feeling persists and how it is less about your reality and more about how you have been conditioned to relate to life. Kute unpacks how scarcity is not just a mindset but a deeply ingrained way of being, shaped by your upbringing, your nervous system, and your early experiences of safety, support, and self-worth. You will begin to recognize how this pattern shows up in your daily decisions, your relationship to money, and your ability to receive. More importantly, you will see why working harder or thinking more positively has not created the shift you have been seeking. This is not about chasing more. It is about waking up. It is about seeing clearly the unconscious fear that may be driving your choices and realizing that the life you desire is not blocked, it is waiting for you to relate to it differently. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything you can yet still not experiencing the level of ease, freedom, or abundance you know is possible, this conversation will shift how you see your life and what is truly available to you. If you are ready to release the grip of not enough and reconnect with a deeper sense of trust, this episode may be exactly what you need right now.   TIMESTAMPS (00:01:12) – What scarcity really feels like (even when life looks good) (00:02:12) – The wake-up question: If you knew your death date… (00:04:48) – Scarcity is NOT about money (core concept shift) (00:06:59) – The real root: Fear that life isn't supporting you (00:08:50) – How scarcity is inherited (family & conditioning) (00:10:12) – Scarcity lives in your nervous system (not just mindset) (00:12:16) – You can make money and still feel poor (00:13:18) – How scarcity shows up in everyday decisions (00:15:44) – Price vs. Value: The mindset that changes everything (00:17:59) – Time vs. Money: The truth most people ignore (00:19:01) – Nature as the model of true abundance (00:21:54) – How to start shifting out of scarcity (00:23:42) – Becoming a creator of value (00:24:20) – You were not born to live in fear or limitation (00:25:12) – The turning point: Choosing abundance in small actions (00:26:09) – Final message: Abundance is your true nature   What You'll Learn Why scarcity is a state of being, not a financial condition The hidden fear that makes you feel like life isn't supporting you How your upbringing and nervous system are wired for scarcity The difference between price vs. value (and how it impacts your entire life) Why you can make money and still feel poor How scarcity blocks both giving and receiving The first steps to expanding your capacity for abundance  Questions I Ask: What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with money? Why does "not enough" still follow you even when you're doing well? Do you actually trust life… or are you constantly bracing for loss? Are you making decisions from expansion or from fear? What is it really costing you to stay where you are? Are you valuing money more than your time  and your life? Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

We started this one talking about whether building a content ecosystem around photography risks turning the work into content, and how the pressure to produce on a content timeline can collapse the space that photographs actually need. When you're operating from scarcity, you grab the recognizable brand for cheap instead of holding out for the thing that represents what you're building. That tension between immediacy and long-term identity ran through most of the conversation, how we each relate to our own work.We spent a lot of time on taste and self-criticism. Matt talked about genuinely loving many of his photographs and wondering whether that's a kind of happy cluelessness or something closer to what Eggleston described when he said he loves all his pictures. We talked about the Winogrand documentary again, the thousands of undeveloped rolls, what it means that the act of shooting might have mattered more to him than the output, and how the art world commentary around his work sounds increasingly hollow on repeat viewings. That led into mimicry versus voice, and the moment content stops being performance and starts being the thing itself. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

This week on Anything But Average Mondays, Brittany and Christina are back with one of those conversations that starts with spilled coffee and somehow ends up in a very real conversation about friendship, capacity, busy seasons, and the pressure we put on ourselves. They dive into the question: Are busy friends better friends? And like most real-life conversations, the answer isn't black and white. From packed schedules and changing priorities to how friendship looks in different seasons of life, this episode is a reminder that being busy does not make someone a better friend — and being unavailable sometimes does not make someone a bad one either. They also chat about travel life, being present in different environments, rest, relationships, screenshot chaos, eating habits when you're home alone, simple protein-packed meals, and why so many women need to stop judging themselves so harshly. This one feels like sitting in on a real girlfriend conversation — honest, funny, relatable, and full of little reminders we all need.

If you've done the vision boards, the affirmations, and the gratitude journals, and you're still stuck, this episode explains why. The real block isn't your mindset. It's your nervous system.In this episode, I break down:• Why good things feel physically unsafe to your body• The 3 patterns of self-sabotage and what's really driving them• What triggers your nervous system to reject love, money, and success• A 7-step nervous system reset you can start today• What somatic manifestation actually means — and why it works when nothing else hasIf you actually apply what I teach in this episode, everything starts to shift. You stop blowing up good relationships. You stop ghosting your own goals. You stop creating chaos just to feel familiar again. Instead, you become the woman who can hold peace, hold money, hold success, and hold love. Your nervous system expands to match the life you are manifesting.

Ever experienced having a stranger snap at you in a movie theater line and felt that sting of anger for the rest of the day? This not only drains your energy, it keeps you from seeing the truth.  We often make big assumptions about people based on one stressful moment and forget that everyone carries a heavy load that we cannot see. And these tense moments lock you into a scarcity mindset where the whole world feels like it is out to get you.  In this episode, we talk about why a stranger's bad mood is not a reflection of your value and how you can find a grounded path toward self assurance by changing how you view the world. We'll explore: The "Q-Tip" rule to protect your emotional well-being Why shrinking your skills hurts your self confidence Moving from competition to community building How social support and workplace wellness change your daily life Making a permanent mindset shift to fuel business growth We'll also talk about how nourishing your inner life through better relationships creates the foundation you need to master intuitive eating. We are sharing the life lessons that help you grow with intention and show up more fully in your relationships and your work.

In this episode of Anything But Average, Brittany and Christina dive into a very real conversation about health, healing, and the wake-up calls our bodies sometimes give us. Brittany shares the unexpected experience of landing in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, walking through the symptoms, the fast-moving hospital visit, surgery, and what recovery has actually looked like in the days following. From the anxiety of not knowing what was happening to realizing how incredible the human body truly is, this experience became a powerful reminder about paying attention to the signals our bodies send. Christina also opens up about her own health journey right now, including ongoing back issues, exploring peptides, and the work required to maintain strength, mobility, and resilience. Together they unpack: • What happens when your body forces you to slow down • The importance of acting quickly when something feels off • Recovery, patience, and giving your body the time it needs • Exploring new tools and therapies that support healing • Why health awareness and self-care should never be optional   This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that even the strongest, most driven people still need to listen to their bodies. Sometimes the biggest lesson is simply this: health is everything.

In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews anti-diet, weight-inclusive personal stylist Dacy Gillespie about clothing grief, style, and size accessibility. Dacy shares how styling clients revealed the need to address body feelings and how "flattering" advice often aims to make bodies appear smaller, rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism, referencing work by Sabrina Strings and Sonya Renee Taylor. They discuss real scarcity in plus-size clothing, including brands dropping extended sizes, and the grief and privilege tied to beauty standards. Dacy shares some of her practical tips for rejuvenating your closet through size changes, while still taking care of your own emotional wellbeing.   01:50 How Mindful Closet Began 03:58 Size Access and Hidden Grief 07:42 Unpacking "Flattering" Culture 13:34 Scarcity Mindset vs Reality 25:52 Client Clothing Grief Questions 30:19 Move Clothes Aside 33:02 Budget Shopping Tips 37:04 Unlearning Body Shame 44:30 Dream Your Style EPISODE RESOURCES: "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fatphobia" by Sabrina Strings "The Body Is Not An Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love" by Sonya Renee Taylor "Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness" by Da'Shaun L.

You know that pit in your stomach when you open your bank account late at night? That moment where the numbers load and your heart rate spikes before you even see anything? That is not a math problem. That is a mental and emotional one. And if you have been avoiding your finances, snapping at your partner when the Amazon package shows up, or telling yourself you will deal with it tomorrow, this episode is for you.Stoy sits down with Ashley Quamme, therapist and founder of a practice built on helping people understand the intersection of their mental and emotional world and their financial reality. What comes out of this conversation is raw, honest, and something a lot of financial content will never touch. Money has meaning. It is tied to your identity, your security, your freedom, and your sense of whether or not you are going to be okay. When you ignore that layer, no budget in the world is going to stick.Ashley breaks down a simple three-word framework called Think, Feel, Do. It comes from the therapeutic space and it creates a map of what is actually going on inside you when financial stress hits. Not just what you did, but what you were thinking, what you were feeling, and what that drove you to do. She walks through how to actually use it, why you need to physically write it out, and why doing it while you are emotionally ramped up is one of the biggest mistakes people make.They also get into business ownership anxiety, the noise versus truth conversation around structure and emotional capacity, why men in particular resist this kind of work, and why Stoy believes your mental and physical health are the most important investment you will ever make.

Way before mutual funds.Watch the full episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/qUv3gbe9NSYIf you have been white-knuckling your way through your finances and wondering why nothing is sticking, this is the episode.

This week, Christina and Brittany are having one of those honest, unfiltered conversations. The kind where you talk about what's actually happening in your body… how aging really feels… and why health can't sit at the bottom of the priority list anymore. They dive into inflammation and how it quietly impacts everything from energy to long-term disease, the growing conversation around peptides and recovery, and the reality of navigating wellness in a world where “nothing feels real anymore.” This episode is about taking your health seriously. About discipline. About gratitude. About choosing to live in a way that doesn't leave you with regret. If you're building a life, a career, a family — none of it works if your health falls apart. This is real talk on movement, mindset, nutrition, recovery, and what it means to age with intention. We don't shy away from the skepticism. We don't pretend we have it all figured out. But we do believe this: Health is non-negotiable.

What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it?  This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes, host of the Female Athlete Nutrition Podcast, welcomes returning guest Dr. Kate Bennett, a clinical sports psychologist, licensed Way of Champions trainer, and multiple-time national champion, to discuss her new venture, Full Send Consulting. Bennett explains that while her mental health practice (Athlete Insight) continues, Full Send was created to address the systemic gap between education about eating disorders/RED-S and rising prevalence rates by shifting from individual treatment to team- and coach-focused culture change. She outlines the Way of Champions philosophy—rooted in Eastern thought, mindfulness, values, and transformational (rather than transactional) coaching—emphasizing psychological safety, purpose, belonging, and eliminating fear-based scarcity mindsets to help teams become protective factors for athlete wellbeing. Lindsey connects these concepts to nutrition, RED-S prevention, and team-wide fueling standards, sharing an example of value-based work with a university equestrian team. They discuss how teammates and coaches influence culture, the importance of trust and accountability, and how athletes—including alternates—contribute to team success through relationships. Bennett describes how Full Send Consulting works with teams and one-on-one with coaches in customizable formats (one-day intensives to season-long support) and serves youth, high school, college, and professional teams in person, virtually, and via travel. Kate Bennett, PsyD, is a clinical sport psychologist. She is the reigning 2024 Downhill Masters National Champion in addition to being a two-time national track cycling champion. Prior to her clinical training, Dr. Bennett was an athletic trainer and cycling coach. She combines her sport experiences and clinical expertise to treat athletes recovering from eating disorders, disordered eating, exercise dependency, and REDs. Dr. Bennett authored "Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders."

Scarcity mindset doesn't always look like clutter piling up on the counter. Sometimes it shows up in the old jeans we keep “just in case,” the items we paid good money for but no longer use, or the way we white-knuckle our finances and schedules out of fear of not having enough. In this episode, I unpack what scarcity mindset really is, why it forms, and how it quietly influences our decisions around our homes, and our time. We'll talk about the “logical” gremlin thoughts that keep us stuck, the nervous system's role in holding on, and how faith and fear often get tangled together without us realizing it. Through Scripture and practical reflection, I'll help you begin to discern what's rooted in wisdom versus what's rooted in fear — and how letting go can be a step of trust, not loss. If you've ever felt uneasy releasing things, control, or old patterns, I am praying this conversation will meet you right where you are.

This week on Anything But Average Mondays, Brittany Anderson and Christina Lecuyer dive into everything from back pain recovery to media overload, conspiracy culture, modern parenting, and the realities of managing health as we age. Christina opens up about dealing with significant back pain and the mental load that comes with physical setbacks. From there, the conversation flows into today's overwhelming media landscape, the Nancy Guthrie case, and the impact of constant headlines on our nervous systems. They unpack conspiracy theories, social media influence, and the challenge of raising grounded children in a world that feels louder and more chaotic than ever.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, the conversation centers on something that quietly controls everything in our lives. Our thoughts. Not the loud negative self talk. The subtle limitations we repeat every single day without even realizing it. I talk about how happiness is an effort. It is a conscious decision. It takes just as much energy to live in scarcity and chaos as it does to live in fulfillment and abundance. The difference is what we allow to dominate our mind. For a long time I did not realize that I was creating the very struggle I was trying to escape. I kept telling myself life was chaotic. I kept reinforcing how hard things were. And I kept getting more of that. Whatever you think about often becomes your reality. Not because it magically appears, but because your brain begins searching for evidence to confirm what you already believe. The Subtle Negativity That Is Slowing You Down This episode is not about obvious self hatred. It is about the quiet phrases that sound harmless but destroy progress. It is too early. I am too busy. It is too far. It is too expensive. I will try. We will see. I do not know enough. I am not ready. Those phrases remove ownership. They remove urgency. They remove responsibility. The moment you say something is too hard or too far, you have already decided it cannot be done. And when you remove urgency and ownership, you remove solutions. I had to confront the fact that my instinct was to focus on how difficult something would be instead of how great it would feel to achieve it. I would say I wanted abundance, but my thoughts were rooted in limitation. I would say I wanted happiness, but I kept repeating that I had a hole in my soul. You cannot build abundance from scarcity rooted thinking. From Hope to Certainty One of the biggest shifts is moving from hope to certainty. I hope the offer gets accepted. I hope it appraises. I hope they do not cut my commission. Hope leaves the door open for failure. A player does not operate from hope. A player operates from certainty. I am going to negotiate the heck out of this. I am going to get this deal done. If this one falls apart, I will find another one. That mindset changes your posture. It changes how you speak to your client. It changes how you show up in negotiations. And most importantly, it changes what your brain looks for. If you are constantly thinking about what might go wrong, you will find evidence of what is wrong. If you are thinking about solutions and dominance, you will find evidence of that too. Your Brain Follows Your Instructions I reference The Answer by John Assaraf because it reinforces something powerful. The brain is malleable. Repeated thoughts create repeated pathways. Over time, those pathways become automatic. Your thoughts literally become instructions for what your brain focuses on. If you constantly tell yourself you are not good at sales, your brain will search for evidence that confirms it. If you tell yourself you are confident, capable, and disciplined, your brain will look for evidence of that. But thoughts alone are not enough. You cannot say you want success and avoid the actions that create success. You cannot say you want to dominate and then avoid making the videos, following up, learning the contracts, mastering the skill sets. Intentional positivity must be paired with intentional action. If you want to be successful, you will do what successful people do. You will reach out. You will follow up. You will study. You will improve. You will do the work. Wants Versus Needs Another subtle trap is operating only from need. I just need one deal. I just need to pay my mortgage. If that is all you ask for, that is all you will get. You will find a way to barely survive. But when you shift to wants, real wants, big wants, your thinking expands. I want to dominate. I want to be top one percent. I want abundance beyond my bills. When you raise the standard internally, your behavior starts aligning with it. The Daily Practice This is a daily battle. Even now, subtle negativity tries to creep in. But I combat it with intentional reinforcement. Today is a good day. I am going to dominate this space. I am going to set appointments. I am going to learn the skills required to be a top producer. Little by little, those thoughts shape behavior. That behavior shapes results. And those results reinforce the belief. If you want fulfillment, think fulfillment. If you want abundance, think abundance. If you want success, think success and move toward it with action. Change your mind. Change your actions. Create the life you have always wanted. Reflective Questions What subtle phrases do you repeat daily that are limiting your growth without you realizing it? Where are you operating from hope instead of certainty in your business or personal life? If you truly believed you would dominate this year, what actions would you take starting today? Notable Quotes "Subtle negativity morphs throughout the day unless you intentionally combat it with positivity." "Hope leaves the door open. Certainty creates solutions." "Your thoughts become instructions for what your brain chooses to focus on."   Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

What if the real reason you feel stuck financially isn't your bank account — but the beliefs you've carried for years?In part one of this two-part conversation, Shelly sits down with Audrey Faust, The Manifesting CFO™, to explore how our earliest money messages shape our confidence, decisions, and sense of possibility in midlife.Together, they talk about growing up hearing phrases like “we can't afford that,” how scarcity mindsets get passed down through generations, and why mindset work often needs to come before spreadsheets and strategies.Audrey also shares her grounded, practical take on manifestation — not as magic, but as focus and alignment — and how learning to shift what we believe can open the door to more peace and confidence with money. Key Takeaways:How early money messages shape our beliefs in midlifeWhy “we can't afford that” can quietly limit what feels possibleWhat it means to be the transitional generation with moneyWhy mindset is the missing piece before financial strategyA practical, down-to-earth explanation of manifestationThis conversation was so rich that it's been split into two parts.

Some of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics for men are: attraction, compatibility, and what actually creates lasting connection with a woman. My guest, Laurin Ponce, helps us break down the difference between compatibility, connection, and chemistry - and why confusing those three is where most relationships go off the rails. We talk about what women truly find attractive in a grounded man, what it really means when a woman asks for space, why it feels like there are more rules for men, and how respect is built long before it's ever given. From attachment styles and masculine frame to why women's touch is medicine and how peace and respect create a relationship where both people feel safe and free, this conversation cracks open the unspoken dynamics most men are trying to navigate alone. We also explore the practical side: non-negotiables, testing for compatibility, shared values, money, day-to-day living, and why partners are often mirrors and triggers for our own unresolved work. Laurin and I get into anxious versus avoidant dynamics, masculinity and femininity in modern relationships, emotional expression in men, vulnerability, physical attraction, and how connection is built - and rebuilt - over time SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Understanding Men and Women 01:07 - Is There a Line in "Figuring Each Other Out"? 03:22 - Masculine and Feminine Polarity 05:08 - The Bowl and the Water Analogy 06:46 - Why Respect Starts With Self-Respect 08:21 - Non-Negotiables in Relationships 10:05 - Compatibility vs. Chemistry 13:18 - Core Values and Relationship Dealbreakers 14:58 - You Can't Out-Love Incompatibility 17:16 - Chemistry vs. Trauma Bonds 18:46 - What Real Chemistry Feels Like 19:29 - Peace and Respect in Relationships 22:47 - Creating Emotional Safety 26:52 - Masculine and Feminine Imbalance Today 30:30 - Polarity Always Finds Its Way 33:41 - Letting Go of Armor and Control 35:16 - Becoming the Partner You Want to Attract 39:13 - Consistency and Trust 40:10 - Physical Attraction and Discipline 43:02 - Connection Is Built Over Time 46:37 - Scarcity Mindset in Dating 48:02 - Where Men Should Start in Long-Term Relationships 50:32 - Rekindling Attraction and Intentionality 57:12 - "Cracking the Code" of Your Partner 01:00:29 - Never Get Comfortable in Love 01:05:05 - Serving Each Other Without Shame 01:06:23 - Where to Find Laurin's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
