I’m sharing the parts of my life story that shaped how I think about work, money, and resilience in this episode. I walk through three defining moments from my upbringing that quietly wired my mindset long before I realized it. How does growing up “okay” still create stress that follows you into adulthood? And what lessons stick when responsibility shows up far too early?

I talk about chasing big dreams without the resources others had, working exhausting jobs as a teenager, and feeling the emotional weight of helping keep the lights on. These experiences didn’t break me, but they did shape how I viewed money, effort, and worth for years.

This episode is really about rewiring those patterns. You’ll find out what it takes to finally let go of a scarcity mindset and build something better for yourself and for the next generation.

What you’ll learn about in this episode:

• What divorce introduced regarding responsibility, independence, and emotional maturity.
• Why my lack of access to elite training taught me about discipline through self-driven practice.
• How repeated exposure to wealth gaps influenced my early beliefs about success.
• The daily self-training habits I used to build grit, consistency, and internal motivation.
• How witnessing my parents’ bill prioritization shaped my long-term money anxiety.
• What physically demanding work taught me about effort, endurance, and delayed reward.
• Why losing control of my earned income triggered conflicting emotions of shame and responsibility.
• What providing financial support to my family as a 16-year-old imposed on me psychologically.
• How repeated scarcity became my internalized money beliefs.
• Why I required intentional rewiring around income, worth, and abundance as an adult.
• How college financial stress reinforced a paycheck-to-paycheck life as being normal.
• The long-term motivation that emerged from wanting different outcomes for my children.
