EP 151: Breaking Scarcity Cycles: How to Shift from Survival Mode to Abundance Mindset
Scarcity isn’t just about money—it’s a deeply ingrained pattern that can shape the way you approach time, relationships, energy, and your sense of self-worth. It keeps you in survival mode, constantly striving, chasing, and feeling like there’s never enough.
But here’s the truth: scarcity is not your identity—it’s a learned cycle. And cycles can be broken.
In this episode, Jessica Read unpacks how scarcity subtly influences your life and business and offers practical, soul-aligned strategies to help you step into a state of abundance, ease, and trust.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in “not enough”—not enough time, money, clients, energy, or space—this episode will show you how to shift from survival mode to expansion so you can start thriving instead of just getting by.
