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.

Key Takeaways:

How Scarcity Patterns Show Up in Your Life

  • Scarcity isn’t just financial—it impacts your time, relationships, creativity, and energy.

  • Noticing where scarcity is showing up is the first step to releasing it.

Why Survival Mode Keeps You Small

  • When your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, you operate from fear, not trust.

  • Learn how to shift from reaction to creation by grounding yourself in safety.

The Energy of Abundance is About Trust

  • Abundance isn’t about external conditions—it’s a vibration, a belief, a way of being.

  • When you trust that life is supporting you, you shift from striving to receiving.

Daily Practices to Cultivate an Abundance Mindset

  • The power of gratitude to amplify what’s already here.

  • How to embody the energy of “more than enough” in your everyday life.

  • Why giving from overflow (not obligation) expands your ability to receive.

Expanding Your Capacity to Receive

  • Every time you trust, take aligned action, or release old stories, you expand your ability to hold more—more success, more freedom, more ease.

Reflection Questions (from the Episode):

  • Where is scarcity showing up in your life, and how is it keeping you small?

  • What would shift if you fully trusted that there’s always enough for you?

  • What’s one small way you can embody abundance today?

Turning Struggles Into Strength: Your Mentor for Aligned Success

6/3 Mani-Gen | Visionary | Personal Development Obsessed

In 2017, I hit rock bottom. Overworking, unresolved trauma, and self-doubt left me battling anxiety, burnout, and panic attacks daily. Through emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and aligned growth, I rebuilt myself and my business.

Now, as a mentor and alternative therapist with 17+ years of Entrepreneurial experience, I help soul-led women like you:

  • Release emotional and energetic blocks holding you back.

  • Build unshakable confidence and emotional resilience.

  • Create spacious, aligned success that feels deeply fulfilling.

What My Clients Are Saying About Their Transformations.

This experience was far and beyond what I could have expected.

Jess helped my overcome so many personal blocks and experiences triggering anxiety.

Best decision I’ve ever made and I highly recommend Jess. I wish I would have done it sooner.

Kamri H | Entreprenuer

Working with Jess, helped me to peel back so many layers and get to the origin of some of my long held subconscious thoughts and beliefs. Our sessions were powerful, healing and nurturing. Jess had a beautiful way of holding space and getting to the heart and origin of my stories. I can see now how these thoughts and beliefs have held me back in so many ways.

Jo C | Coach and Mentor

Jessica was incredible.

I've searched over the years for someone who could help remove certain blocks and triggers with no success.

In our first session Jess got the root of the subconscious issue so we could begin working on it - freeing me up to show up as the woman I want to in both life AND business.
