Ep 139 Big Growth: Making Room For More

How do you define abundance? It might be having more, or it might be desiring less. When it comes to creating space, having an abundant mindset can be key.

Creating space can manifest in many different ways; being open to opportunities means almost anything is possible. I have talked about creating space before, but I have recently been challenged to broaden my personal definition of how we create space. In my own life, creating space looks like removing something, be it emotional (a negative thought), physical (throw out the old blouse), or spiritual (exploring those biases). But, I now understand it doesn’t look that way for everyone. For you, it might be picking up the ball that you dropped, or letting go of old fears that breed scarcity.

I recorded today’s podcast episode to share more about space, scarcity, abundance and alcohol. I hope you will listen and perhaps be inspired or enlightened to explore your own ‘space’.
