Hey, hey!

Today is a "rewind" episode that originally aired back in 2022. As someone who strongly believes in the power of an abundant mindset (versus poverty/scarcity based beliefs) i wanted to share this gem of an episode again as a reminder that we can create the lives we want.

Now, I guess I need to say this...obviously, we still face strong systemic oppression. So I'm not saying that we can control every outcome. What I am saying though, is that the mindset (and energy) we hold can be a powerful way for us to get into the flow of the lives we deserve.
