Scarcity whispers that there isn't enough. Ego insists you deserve more anyway. Abundance is the quiet third option nobody mentions.
Most of us were handed scarcity as a default setting. This episode sits with that tension: what scarcity actually protects us from, why ego is so loyal to it, and what shifts when abundance becomes a practiced choice instead of a lucky feeling.
It's less about having more and more about needing less from the wrong things.
Ask what your ego is really protecting when it demands "more"
Treat abundance as a discipline you build, not a mood you wait for
Trace your scarcity triggers back to their original source
