We live in a world where it feels like everything valuable comes with a price tag — courses, coaches, e-books, subscriptions. But before you spend another dollar, we invite you to pause and ask: Have you tapped into the one resource that’s always been free?

In this episode, we talk about something simple yet powerful — your own curiosity, your experiences, your conversations, and the wisdom already around (and within) you. Sometimes, what we truly need isn’t behind a paywall — it’s just one thoughtful moment away.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you “should” be paying for to grow or improve, this one’s for you. Tune in, take a breath, and remember — you’re not starting from nothing. You already have more than you think. 💛
