How to Shift Your Mindset and Take Control of Your Life - w/ Kyle Livingston
Overcoming anxiety, burnout, and failure — lessons on mindset and self-mastery from an entrepreneur who lost it all twice.
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
