Welcome back to the podcast. I am Dr. Edie Wadsworth, founder of Life Mentoring School and host of the

Life Mentoring School podcast. We are so glad you're here. We specialize in helping high achieving,

passionate women uncover their extraordinary God-given gifts. Welcome to the podcast. Let's dive in.

When I think about abundance, I think about it as an attitude of faith.

I think about abundance as an attitude toward life of plenty.

Now listen, without evidence, without obvious evidence that like, oh, I just have plenty of money or, oh, I look around.

So faith means you believe it without evidence.

So you believe in the abundance and goodness of God without evidence.

And if you start from there, I find that abundance is just the most joyful, expansive way to think about everything.

When we believe that when we believe in the goodness of God, when we believe that we'll have everything

we need, that we already have everything we need, when we believe in possibility, when we believe in hope, when we're excited about the future,

when we totally trust that everything that happens to us is somehow for us,

this mindset transforms how we experience everything in our lives.

And this is not our default mindset for, this is not how our primitive brains are wired.

That's why it's so valuable to study this and to practice this and to create a lot of

awareness around this because it's not how our brains are wired. Our brains are wired to scarcity.

Our brains are wired to think, well, I better get mine. Our brains are wired to feel graspy

and clingy. There's not enough fear. So if you think about

true self, false self that we teach in life mentoring school, your true self, which is the you

that is governed by love, the you that believes in the goodness of God, the you that believes that there's always an abundance

of everything you need. If you think of true self, it's basically, when we study abundance

and scarcity, it's true self, false self. Scarcity operates from fear. There's not enough.
