Episode 24: Scarcity vs. Abundance: Which Lens Is Running Your Life?

"Money doesn't grow on trees." "We have to hold onto what we have." If you grew up hearing phrases like these, you might be filtering every decision through a scarcity lens without even realizing it.

In this episode, Sarah breaks down how the beliefs we inherited in childhood become the filter through which we see opportunities, success, and what's possible for us as adults.

She gets practical about how to recognize when you're operating from scarcity versus abundance in your career, relationships, and growth - and shares real examples from her own business of what shifts when you stop making decisions from fear.

In This Episode Sarah Discusses...

• How childhood messages like "money doesn't grow on trees" create an adult filter of "not enough" that keeps you stuck
• The core difference: scarcity says "there's not enough to go around" while abundance says "there's enough and I can create more" - and why this has nothing to do with how much you actually have
• What scarcity looks like across six areas (career, collaboration, growth, relationships, time, and worth) and the internal dialogue that reveals when you're operating from fear instead of strategy
• What abundance looks like in those same areas - from "I have to say yes or I'll miss my only chance" to "if this isn't aligned, something better will come"
• Real examples from Sarah's business: saying no to a $150 client and attracting a $300 client a week later, choosing abundance when her first employee quit, and how constantly asking "how good can this get?" transforms everything
