In this episode, hosts Tim and Maddy Regan invite listeners into a candid conversation about “fishbowls”—the limiting beliefs and perceptions that keep us from living our fullest lives, both financially and personally. 

Throughout the discussion, Tim reflects on transforming his own perceptions over time, sharing how reframing moments of scarcity into sources of growth is foundational to living what he calls a “two comma life.” As he puts it, “Usually, the thing that I’m most scared of doing or dreading the most is the thing I need to do the most.”

The hosts also offer practical advice for listeners hoping to identify and break through their own limiting beliefs—whether they stem from childhood memories, recent experiences, or simply a general sense of fear or uncertainty.

3 Key Takeaways

• Limiting beliefs (“fishbowls”) often stem from formative life experiences, and shifting your perception of these events is key to personal and financial growth.
• “Shattering your fishbowl” applies to all areas of life, not just money—taking action often starts with identifying the moments or feelings that hold you back.
• The path to living with abundance is gradual and individual, but it begins with the confidence to believe, “If somebody else has already done it, so can you.”
