174. Scarcity vs Abundance (it's in the little things)


Listen Later

Scarcity isn’t just about lacking resources—it’s a mindset that shows up early and often. I see it in how we eat (finishing food, eating when not hungry, “last supper” thinking), and how that drives the restrict–overeat cycle. This isn’t a discipline problem—it’s a natural response to perceived scarcity.

On today’s podcast, we talk about how to shift this in a practical way:

  • creating consistency with meals and nutrition
  • reducing urgency around food
  • building trust in your body and your routines
  • I share small, everyday examples (like airplane snacks and hotel toiletries) to highlight how subtle and automatic scarcity thinking can be. The core idea: many of our behaviours—around food, business, and decision-making—are responses to perceived scarcity. The shift isn’t about “thinking positively,” but about building consistency and trust so that urgency starts to quiet down.

    A more sustainable way to operate—in both health and business.
