Episode 198 Breaking Free from Scarcity


Listen Later

This episode explores the scarcity mindset—the belief that there’s never enough time, money, opportunities, or even that we ourselves aren’t enough. Scarcity narrows our vision, drives fear-based decisions, creates stress and defensiveness, damages relationships through competition, and makes us play small by avoiding opportunities.

Key insights:

  • ​Scarcity is not the truth—it’s just a story we tell ourselves, and stories can be rewritten.
  • ​Our thoughts shape our actions, so shifting mindset changes how we show up in life.

Ways to shift into abundance:

  1. Awareness – Notice when you’re thinking in terms of “not enough.”
  2. Gratitude – Focus on what’s working and what you already have.
  3. Celebrate others – Their success shows what’s possible; it doesn’t take away from you.
  4. Open perspective – Ask what else could be possible instead of limiting to one way.
  5. Invest in growth – Learning, relationships, rest, and creativity all expand abundance.

Personal reflections shared:

  • ​Abundance is everywhere—nature shows us this constantly.
  • ​Fear (like during COVID) leads to scarcity thinking, while choosing abundance creates opportunities and creativity.
  • ​Life moves in waves—ups and downs—but abundance is a choice you can keep returning to.

Takeaway:Abundance means believing there’s enough, that you are enough, and opportunities never run out. By choosing awareness, gratitude, and openness, you can step out of fear and scarcity into a fuller, more generous life.
