What does it really take to live a life that feels rich the moment you open your eyes? Not Instagram-rich. Not bank-balance-rich. But soul-deep, breath-catching, “I can’t believe this is my life” kind of rich?
In this epic two-hour episode (get ready a beverage!), I sit down with the luminous Maisie Cheong for a raw, thoughtful, and wildly insightful conversation about what it means to build a life by design, not default.
We journey through:
• Her powerful pivot after a health scare and how it cracked her wide open
• What stops us from moving, even when the nudges are loud and clear
• Why bravery isn’t always the golden ticket to change (and what is)
• How we unknowingly sabotage our own communication even when it’s rooted in love
• What it takes to build real bridges between people (hint: it’s not perfect scripts)
• The surprising truth about a truly rich life and what it actually includes
We go deep into human connection, communication styles, inner resistance, life transitions, and the often unspoken reality of staying stuck in a life that almost fits. And how to stop doing that.
This isn’t a quick fix kind of episode. It’s a whole damn odyssey. Come with us. You just might walk away seeing your own life a little differently.
