(#303): The Roadmap from Scarcity to Abundance

TL/DR: Listen in for my five tips/steps/gas stations on the way from scarcity to abundance and why being on this side even matters. And it really, really does. The abundant mindset is the most life-changing piece of any program I've ever coached, and I'm excited to share this blueprint with you all!

Ever feel like everyone else has everything you want, while you're just stuck in this negligent space, with nothing you need to succeed? 

That feeling is known as "scarcity mindset," it's essentially the idea that there is only one pie for everyone, and if someone takes a larger piece, there's less left for you/others.

Better than the opposite of that space is the "abundant mindset," where there are limitless pieces of pie, so it doesn't matter how big or a small a piece someone else takes, you are not competing with them for the pie.

Doesn't that sound nice?

But getting from A (scarcity) to B (abundance) isn't necessarily an easy or straight line, nor does anyone get there overnight or in the same way as someone else.  

Luckily for you, I've walked several paths on my own to get here, in abundance mindset, AND I've held countless other hands as they have walked their own paths here, too.  Now it's time for me to hold yours - that's why you're listening to the podcast! 

Transcript

01:31 Coach Shaun: What if I told you that scarcity is only a frame of mind; that even those who have nothing have plenty?  Those who have hit rock bottom and feel like they have absolutely nothing in this world, they actually have everything they need?  It’s just in how they're seeing the reality, how they're taking in that perspective, that's keeping them in that situation.  You probably think I'm crazy, right? And you wouldn't believe me for a second, or you already have a counter argument ready to get back to me and tell me all the reasons why I am wrong.  If someone literally has nothing rock bottom, how can possibly have plenty of anything.  Well, not only is that exactly the response that I expect, because it's a response I used to have, but it's a response that I love to challenge, it's one that I love to question.  It is the one I love to help reframe. Alright, so hear me out.

One of my absolute favorite quotes in the entire world is “The mind is everything.  What you think you become.”  And I inherently believe that to be true, and it's also literally scientifically proven.  A Stanford psychologist examines the mindsets of children and found out that children have a growth mindset that intelligence can actually be developed over time, are better able to overcome academic challenges than those who have a fixed mindset, that intelligence is pre-determined.  Another study done by Yale researchers reveal that those are more positive beliefs live longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging. Like literally thinking positively gives you a longer life.  That's dope. So back to the initial question, if someone has nothing, how can they have everything?  And this isn't a riddle, I literally hate riddles. So that's not what this is, it's just a question that I want you to consider your perspective on.  This step that we're going to take to resolve this question, to come to an answer, is to understand the difference between what a scarcity mindset is and what an abundance mindset.  And how you're going to literally reframe your reality to get from A to B.  

3:43 Coach Shaun: So a scarcity mentality is when you're obsessed with the lack of something.  Now, usually some of the easiest examples we have are finances, time, or love.  And you can't seem to focus on literally anything else.  For example: when you're single, you're like, “Oh my gosh, why is everybody else in love?  Everybody else is in a relationship, everybody else is happy and married and having kids and doing all this stuff; and I have nothing.”  Or “that person invested in the stock market, they have so much money, they have so many cars and things and awesome opportunities, and I have nothing.  I don't have enough money to pay my bills this month, right.”  So those are the kinds of mindsets that are scarcity mentality, and it stems from the idea that life is a finite pie, where if someone takes a big slice from that pie, there's less of it to go around for the rest of us.  And this thinking, literally actively keeps us from achieving our own goals because you're thinking, “Oh my gosh, there's only so much pie left for me, I need to either get it or I'm never going to get any pie at all.”

4:40 Coach Shaun: However, an abundance mindset isn't just the opposite of a scarcity mindset. It's more than that. An abundance mindset is the idea or world view, really, that there are more than enough resources for everybody to share, and that there are literally limitless potentials for everyone.  Okay, so there's no competition for these resources, there's no denial of these resources, there's literally more than enough for everybody.  So there's no need to rush, there's no need to get it before someone, there’s no need to get more than someone else because there's so much of it that it doesn't matter if Matt has it and Sarah has it and Jess has it, and whoever else in the world gets a piece of pie; because there's plenty of pies to go around of all different shapes and sizes. So there's not like a Google map really to get us from A-B here, from scarcity to abundance mindset, but there kind of is a little bit of a road map, so it's a little bit more of like the old school kind of map quest to get us there, there is no really quick Google way to get there.  I guess it's more like a blueprint or a treasure map that can get you from A to B on this journey, and I have some pit stops and I have some gas stations, some highways where you can speed, in other places there are speed traps, you gotta slow down.

And that's kind of how I think about it too. Right, but literally, you have to drive the car or push the scooter or walk those miles yourself, there's no way to get from A to B by just blinking your eyes or snapping your fingers.  It’s not something that you can just hope for and it happens or something that somebody else can do for you, and I'm not going to lie. It's really hard work. I've been there, I used to have that scarcity mentality, and it's because I didn't want to be there anymore, I didn't like that space, I didn't like what was happening in my life when I was there, I didn't like the people around me, I didn't like how I was behaving, I didn't understand it and I didn't love it. But now that I have an abundance mindset, that's what makes it so worth it, it makes it worth the journey to see where I'm at now.  That’s also subsequently why not everybody lives in an abundance mindset because it's hard. It takes time and it takes effort. So what I wanted to do today was kind of go over a couple of these steps.

Some of these gas stations, perhaps that you would stop at for fuel on your journey from A to B, from scarcity to abundance.  These are things that I have done physically, emotionally, mentally, myself, I have done this. And each of these steps can be taken in order, out of order, one at a time, two at once it doesn't matter.  But I think these will really start to set you up for success in an abundance mindset and start to help you think of things maybe in different ways.  That’s literally the key to coming out of a scarcity mindset.  It would be harder if you think this is all bogus, if you're like, “Okay, well, just because I think there's enough, then I guess there's enough.”  No, you have to really understand that to your core and say, I am so sick of thinking that there are only so many of X or there’s only suck much of Y in the world; when in reality, there's more than enough, and if there's not, then we make it, or we buy it, or we generate it. So there's enough.  So, if you start to expand your mindset and stop thinking in a fixed mindset, start thinking in that growth mindset that over time anything is attainable, then that's really the first key to thinking even that you can get to an abundance mindset.

08:27 Coach Shaun: So I'm going to say there's five steps and we're going to go over all of these, and like I said, they're not really steps; they are more like gas stations to fuel up your car/scooter/motorcycle, whatever it is you're taking on this imaginary journey from A (scarcity) to B (abundance). It's kind of like A to Z, I guess. And these are some of the letters along the way.  Everyone’s journey is different; so what works for me might not work for you. And some of these steps might really ring true for you and might be like, “Wow, why didn't I think of things this way?”  Then that's awesome, and I love that for you, because that's what I want this podcast to do, I want it to start to stir up some of those feelings, start to get you thinking in different ways, start to understand maybe what did work for me will work for you, or if it's not really working, maybe there's some other kind of sister or brother step that you can take that will get you to the same end goal.  Everyone's journey is different, so just try them out and see, and if something doesn't resonate with you, but it's not a full body “h*ll, yes”.  Don't do it. Just move right along. There is no right or wrong here.

09:30 Coach Shaun:  So I would say the first one for me was being able to see things as enough and plenty of even if you don't have everything that you want right now.  I’ll use the significant other example for this. So if you want a significant other and you're in a scarcity mindset, you're so obsessed with not having one, that you're in a scarcity mindset of love. But to think in an abundance mindset, you're going to say there's enough love in the world for everyone, for everything from and for, and it's a beautiful world of love.  You’re going to start to see that: you're going to say the bees love the flowers and the flowers love the bees back. You're going to say that dog loves their owner and that owner loves that dog, there's enough love for her, for him, and for them. Okay, so if you're in a scarcity mindset is going to sound like there's no love for me, but there is love for him, her, them, they, everybody else, and they all have a really happy life and then there's just me by myself.   But you're going to switch this.  So you're going to give a lot of love to your friends, to your family, to your pets, your things, and in return, you're automatically going to receive love back from the people around you, from nature, from things, from the environment that you're in. You're going to get that love back.

So a couple other ways to think of this is finance.  So when I was first starting my business, I did something I heard on another podcast, which was I would take 10% of any sale that I made and I would give it back to the community in fun ways.  And that was a promise to myself, I wanted to do it, and that's the other key here; when you're doing this abundance mindset work, you're not doing it for someone else, you're not doing it for something else, it’s not “I'm going to give love so that I get love back.” That's not how this works.

11:21 Coach Shaun:  So for finance, you have to not have an attachment to it.  So for me, I was really struggling with money, I was really struggling with finances, and so I said, “You know what, I'm going to let this go.  There's a lot of resistance for me in this right now, how can I release this a little bit?”  We had parking meters in Boston at the time, and this is back in the day before there were QR codes for them and you could pay on an app.  So say I sold something and I had $10 that I had to give out that week or that month. And so I would go around to parking meters, and I would just start putting change in the parking meter, so people's parking meters wouldn’t run out.  I didn't part there, so it's not for me, and I wasn't expecting anyone to come out and say “Thank you”.  I was doing it to help somebody else's day, so that's one way that you can kind of give some abundance in finance, you're giving finances to somebody else in a loving way.

A couple of other ways you could do this. If you're in that love scarcity mindset is to start loving literally everything about you and the world around you.  So I love going for walks in the morning, and I love that there's enough oxygen for everyone going for walks in the morning.  I love saying hi to someone else and they live a feeling of getting that high back, it's amazing. I love watching the dogs that are walking in the morning; I love the feel of my feet hitting the pavement; I love the shoes that I'm wearing and they love me back, they're providing me cushion, they're providing me comfort.  It might seem a little ridiculous when you get started, but realistically, I'm so thankful, I went for a comfortable walk this morning, I'm so grateful for that.  There’s an abundance of things made that happen for me today, and I'm thankful for every single one. So it's kind of the first step is being able to see things as enough and plenty, even if you don't necessarily have enough or plenty, just being able to kind of switch that mindset and reframe.

13:21 Coach Shaun: The second I would say is to set yourself up for success with consistency.  So this isn't something you can do for a day and just expect it to come back to you, that's not how the universe works, that's not how anything works. You have to put in the time and effort and you have to not expect anything in return.  So in scarcity, you think one person wins and therefore the other one loses.  That's literally how this works, someone wins therefore someone loses, and that's the only way for the world to exist in a scarcity mindset.  In abundance, you create a win-win situation for everyone. So let's say you are at a bookstore and you really want one book, but you know someone just sat down with that one book and you don't think there's any more.  Okay, well, look at the other books around it, are any of those books similar, are you in an environment where there's other books like that.  Maybe it wasn't meant to be that you have that book, but there's another amazing book right in front of you that's a win-win.  They got a really cool book and you can say,  “Wow, you know what, I really wanted this book for X, Y and Z, that person is going to benefit from reading that book and also reading about x, y and z. That's amazing. Now I have an opportunity to expand my mindset, my growth, my opportunities, and look at other books that can also bring me X, Y, Z that maybe I wouldn't have thought about.”

So instead of saying, “Wow, I lose because I didn't get that book." That other person won because they got that book, but you can also win for them and in other ways. So it's always a win-win situation.  Say you have to pay a parking ticket. Okay, so you're paying the parking ticket, but that's a win-win because you have enough money to pay it, you're doing your due diligence as a citizen.  And there's plenty of finances to go around, you're keeping somebody else employed, you have that good feeling in your gut for being able to pay that off.  So there's all these little ways that you can create these win-wins that really can make you feel good.  I have one more, I’ve been thinking about this example the whole time.  Let’s say you're in a conversation and you are just listening with intent to say something back it.  People do this all the time, and you can tell because they have that face where they're not listening and you have to finish so that they can talk.  So if you listen without judgment and you understand the situation that you're in, you can make it a win-win by saying, “Alright, my story is not as important as listening to this other story.”

15:54 Coach Shaun: I can always share my story later, it'll always be heard as my story.  And you get to listen in.  The win-lose is that person is talking so I don't get to talk.  The win-win is, I get to understand more about my friend, I get to learn more about what they're talking about, I get to learn more about them through what they're talking about, and they know that I'm a good friend because I'm sitting here and I'm listening and I am learning about them.  I get to put this into my mental memories for later to bring this up, say, “Wow, that was a really cool story. Remember that one time”.  So you're creating memories together, that's the win-win. Doing that over and over. Every situation is a win-win. Is not a win-lose. It's a win-win.

16:34 Coach Shaun: Alright, number three. So one of the easiest ways to get from there to here, from scarcity to abundance, is you incorporate gratitude into your daily life.  Don’t roll your eyes because I know everyone does; they say, “Oh yeah, gratitude, whatever.”  But it's seriously so helpful.  And I see this with my clients all the time. It's a struggle to get them to start, but once they do it consistently, it changes your frame of reference, it changes your perspective, and it changes your life.  Bar none, every single time, it will absolutely change the way that you see this world.  If it's something that you already have in your routine that's amazing, then you can always find more ways to add gratitude, so it is not like in your morning routine or your night time routine, or maybe midday at lunch or whatever, let's say you have it all through those times.  That's fine, but maybe not. You incorporate it into, when you're in an elevator, you're grateful that there's other people there, maybe you're grateful that you're in it alone; maybe you’re grateful there is good music.  Just thinking about these random things in the middle of your day that you're grateful for, and if you look at what you have in life already, you'll always have more, but if you look at what you don't have in life, then you'll never, ever have enough. If you don't have this, you don't have that.  You'll never, ever have enough.

So when I tell my clients to start this practice, usually I say: first thing when you wake up, I don't want you to open your eyes, I just want you to breathe in a nice deep breath. I want you to feel how you're feeling in your body.  Are you still tired? Are you thirsty? You have to go the bathroom. How’s your stomach feeling? Can you point and flex your toes? Do any of your joints hurt? Are your muscles sore?  All those kind of things, check in with your body, and then I want you to take that deep breath and just list three things you're grateful for. What are you thankful for? Today, did you have a good night sleep? Do you feel good? Do you feel sore from a great work-out, what are the things? And you can write them down if you want to.  At the beginning, I think that's really awesome and important, so you can always kind of look back and notice.  But at the end of your day, it gets a little bit easier because you've lived a whole day, so you've done all of these things.  You can be grateful for a smile from a stranger, someone held a door open for you, you grab someone coffee, you had plenty of money to go grocery shopping, or somebody let you in on the highway, there's all these little things that rack up throughout your day, that can really start to set you on a path of, “Oh, this is really great for me, I'm very grateful for my life”.  But if you're always looking at the things that go wrong: someone cut you off on the highway, no one held open your door, you got splashed walking to work, you were late for the train; all of those things, you're going to continue to see that decline over the course of your day because you're looking for it.   You say, “Oh, today sucks, because I was late, for the train.”

19:28 Coach Shaun: Well, no that moment probably sucks and you might have to have some shuffling of meetings and that kind of sucks, but overall, you being late for the train, it doesn't really change anything.  The world is going to continue to turn and the Moon is so going to have phases. You're okay.  It's okay, in the grand scheme of things. So it depends on how comfortable you are with writing them down or if you have a safe place to write them down.  If you live with someone, maybe you keep them in your head, maybe you put them on your phone, but keeping those really great gratitude and thankful moments in check throughout your day really helps to set up your whole mindset for success. 

20:07 Coach Shaun: The next one is kind of a conglomeration or a mixture, I guess, of all of the other ones that I've said so far.  But I think it's important enough to kind of pull out and say on its own because it's important to me that you guys understand it's not just switching a mindset.  “Oh, now I have an abundance mindset because I'm thinking I have plenty. What's next?”  You have to reframe, and that's the fourth step is reframing and this is not really “step 4”, it’s just a step.  I’m labeling it number four, but maybe reframing is your first step, and maybe you're training your mind and recognizing the possibilities that are in front of you.  An abundance mindset allows you to just see more: more choices, more resources, more life, more opportunities.  If you are always focusing in a scarcity mindset, “I'm lacking something”, then you literally tune everything out that could convince you otherwise.  Your brain literally will not comprehend it because your focus is so negative and it's so strong on that negative.

So if someone tries to cheer you up and you're having a bad day, unless they're really good at it, you're just kind of like stuck in that bad mood.  You’re pissed, you're angry, you're cranky, you're frustrated, you're upset; there's so much resistance to everything that you're doing, because you're in a bad mood and you don't want to be in a good mood.  Because you're so focused on the negatives that literally, it just keeps that ball rolling and you're just always negative.  Whereas if you're always positive, you can reframe your environment to be positive, even when it's negative, but if you reframe it to be positive and your experience is to be positive, not only do you feel better, but you also feel more.  It opens your horizons and loosens your focus to expand awareness of your surroundings.  So ask yourself, if you had had all of whatever it is in the world: all the love, all of the money, all the time in the world; and you knew that you could not fail. What would you be doing right now? And what would that feel like? What would it smell like?  What would be different, then? Right now, what would be better about that than the life that you're living right now.

22:30 Coach Shaun: Make it tangible. So when you're putting yourself in this position like, “Oh, life would be better if I had five more hours in my day”.  Okay, well, what are you going to do with those five hours? Are you going to sit there and watch Netflix for five hours?  If you think that's productive, and that's something that you want to do with your time, okay, that's fine. What does watching Netflix smell like? What does it feel like?  What does it look like to you? Write those down. Tell yourself that's what you want. Tell yourself, that's what you have right now.  That’s the reframe, is that not only would you want five more hours, you want them to be comfortable, you want them to be happy. Let's say those two. Okay, so you're going to write them down and say, “if I had five more hours in the day, I would feel more comfortable, I would feel happier. If you would feel more comfortable and you would feel happier. Okay, cool. Now you feel comfortable and you feel happy. I feel comfortable, I feel happy; those your affirmations, and that's how you start to reframe what you have versus what you don't have.  You do you have the ability to be comfortable, make it so.  You have the ability to be happy, make it so.

You say, “Oh well, Shaun, I'm not happy.”  Okay, well, what can you change, besides adding five hours, that's going to make you happy. Is it watching more Netflix? Awesome.  Rearrange your day, so you have more time on Netflix.  And it really is that simple. Yes, it is.  Do not argue with me. I know you are. If you want something to happen, if you want change to happen, you have to be the action that makes the change.  You can't just sit around and wait for somebody to give you five more hours in a day, that’s just not going to happen, but you can absolutely. Rearrange your day and your time and set boundaries around things so that you can be comfortable and happy like you want to be; if you have those five extra hours.  It is just that reframe, I want to be comfortable and happy. Awesome, I am now comfortable and happy, because I am making these changes to make myself more comfortable and happy because that's now my priority, so that's that reframe.  Being able to make these dreams tangible is so important, so whatever it is that you're saying, if you could have all of the fill in the blank in the world and you could not fail. What is different? What's making that happen? What's the change?  And then start to make those changes in your life, and it'll align because it has to.  That resistance falls away.

24:55 Coach Shaun: The last one, and I would argue probably one of the most important, is community.  It's surrounding yourself with other people in an abundance mindset.  Now, this is so important because if you are stuck on this lower level energy of scarcity, of there’s never enough, I'm stuck, I can’t, blah, blah, blah; it’s so much harder to get out of that, if other people are saying that to you.  You’ll never get out of here, you're never be comfortable, you'll never be happy, blah, blah, blah. Because they're uncomfortable and they're not happy, and they don't have what they need? Whereas if you surround yourself with people in an abundance mindset, they have what they want, they're doing what they want, they're happy and they're comfortable.  So you're literally the sum of the five closest people to you, and I know you've heard that quote before like, “Oh, okay, whatever.”  But think about the five people do you either talk to the most or spend the most time with, and you are this kind of mixture of those people.  I bet you right now, you can name at least one person in your life who has the energy. You know what I'm talking about, what I say to that. The one person that has the glass overflowing, they're super happy, they just love being alive, they're energetic, they're fun, and you just know it from the energy that they're exuding.  They're just a fun person. You're like, “Wow, I want to be around that person because they are awesome.”  And you just feel it, you feel awesome around them, they make you feel awesome, because they feel so often themselves, they don't understand how other people can't also feel awesome. 

26:25 Coach Shaun: And those are the people you need. Surround yourself with it. If you ever sit there and kinda find those people annoying or you're avoiding them because of their exuberance, then I want you to ask yourself  “Why?  Why are you not being around more people like that, is it because you think that they're annoying? Is it because you're nervous around them, are you frustrated with them, are you jealous of them?” With those feelings, that's very important, and there's no wrong answer, it's not like, “Oh, you’re jealous of them... You're wrong.” No, that's okay to be jealous of them because at least you learn something about yourself in that moment.  If you are jealous of the person that has that happy, energetic, outgoing lifestyle? If you're introverted, you don't ever have to be that extroverted person, if you can absolutely be happy and have that vibrant and have that energy while still being introverted, that's okay. Or you can be really quiet and observant, but still have a good energy, that's totally fine.

But ask yourself if you are nervous or you are frustrated with them, ask yourself why.  Then start to peel back those layers until you understand a little bit more about what's stopping you from being that person and why.  Make it tangible. What about it is stopping you from being that way.  Once you recognize where you are in that journey, you can start to make your way to the end.  If you are trying to plug in B into a GPS, when you're trying to get from A to B, if you don't know where A is.  You can't get to B if you're trying to put it into a GPS or a mapquest or whatever it is, you can't be like, Hey, take me to B, if it doesn't know where A is, where are you right now? To recognize where you are, and then it'll be easier to get where you want to go, to find those people who vibe high, who see the glass half full, who stay and live and maintain these states of abundance and awesome and just liveliness and learn from them.  What are they doing in their life that's different than what you're doing in your life? Ask them questions, and because it comes full circle, you're going to be in that abundance mind state to you, and then other people are going to ask you, how did you get there? What were the steps that you took? What does your journey look like, how are you always so happy and excited? These are questions that are going to come back around, what would you want someone to ask you once you're in the state of abundance, ask those questions of these people.

So ultimately, y’all, it's just about re-framing, it's about being willing to be vulnerable enough with yourself to recognize where you are, to reframe your current life and to accept the power of your thoughts and actions.  Your words in your own mind cut deeper than anybody else.  If someone says something mean to you and you are literally going to re-play that over and over and over in your head.  That person probably already forgot what they said to you, they have no idea, it's like a week later, they don't even remember it, because it did not register on their scale, but it registered in yours.  You kept saying it to yourself, I am not worthy, I am not worthy, I'm not worthy. And that's not useful to anyone, it keeps you in a lower mind state.  Instead of saying, “I'm not worthy”, say “they didn't think I was worthy”, that seems like a them thing, and that's okay.  Whatever it is that they said, I hate that. They are in a place where they thought that that's something that needed to happen, that was an exchange that we had to have.  But I do not accept that, and I am moving on with my life in positive ways and making changes that make me happy and comfortable. So your own words provide this power, this confidence, this calm that you need to be in a different state, and the words that you say to yourself *really do matter*, they can boost boost you up or tear you down, so make sure that you're using positive words and positive vibes.

30:16 Coach Shaun: Cultivate your passion, your purpose, and be unrelenting in the endeavor of reaching your goal, of reaching the Z, whatever it is that you want to do that makes you comfortable and happy, or whatever your words are.  That’s what you should be doing all the time, you should make at least a 1% change every single day. You should do something every day to get you closer to that goal, whatever that goal is.  And ultimately affirmations and gratitude are a staple in my life, they've been a staple for years, and I cannot express you enough the difference that they have made for myself, for my clients, for people that I run into on a daily basis, they've helped me out of burnout, out of depression, and into a life that honestly, I have curated every single piece of.  And I love it, I absolutely love the life that I live right now, if I stop and think about what I do, how I do it, and how I feel every single day. I'm not lucky, I didn't just happen to be in this life. I made very purposeful decisions, and I took very purposeful action to get here, and it was hard. But that hard work pays off. It feels good, it feels like I'm supposed to be here, that resistance of, I don't want to, I can't, I can't want to. All of those things that were in the way, melted, and I feel this level of kind of lightness about me that I always wondered what other people meant when they said that, and it feels really cool, and I want that for you. Because it makes me thankful to be here, it makes me appreciate being here, the journey that I went on makes me happy.

And I want you to have that feeling. I want you to go through that journey, and I'll hold your hand because no one can go through it alone; you can, it will probably take you longer. It took me a long time, and then I found someone to hold my hand and it sped up the process, and it's not an in love kind of thing. It is a love thing. The person that helped me definitely, we share love with each other, she's amazing, she's probably listening this podcast, shout out to her, she knows exactly who it is, and she took my hand and she watched with me, and it was just nice to know that somebody else was there to answer my questions.  To be there, to be one of the five people in my circle of helping me to become in an abundance state or a mindset that allowed me to grow.  And that's a hard, it’s a hard hand to hold being in that position, but it's an amazing feeling, and I want to be there for you guys whenever you're ready.  So ultimately, I just want you to love yourself as much as I love you, each and every single one of you, and I want you to be happy and healthy.  And there's absolutely ways that you can be that, and if you think that you cannot under these circumstances do that, this is the podcast for you. Rewind it, listen to it again. Because it hits hard. So thank you so much and I can’t wait to hold your hand on this journey.
