EP 227. You Can’t Attract Overflow While Operating in Lack — Let’s Fix That Energy
Friend, you're doing all the things. The affirmations. The journaling. The vision boarding. But your energy still feels like it’s stuck in survival mode. And let’s be real — you can’t call in overflow while operating in lack.
In this episode, I’m showing you how to recognize when lack is leading your life (even when it’s disguised as hustle or over-giving) and how to shift into the energy of abundance — for real this time. If you’ve been praying for more but secretly preparing for disappointment, this one’s your reset.
Let’s have a heart-to-heart. Because I know you’ve been carrying the weight of dreams unfulfilled. Trying to stay positive. Trying to manifest. Trying to believe.
But underneath the rituals and routines… There’s still a whisper that says, “What if it never happens for me?” And that whisper is rooted in lack.
We’re talking about what it means to live in overflow. Not as a fantasy, but as your new normal. Not as something you earn through struggle, but as something you align with by choosing you — fully, completely, and without apology.
✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS

💖 THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:
✨ Step 1: Identify one area where lack has been leading you.
Maybe it’s how you’re undercharging in your business.
Maybe it’s over-giving in a relationship.
Maybe it’s staying busy to avoid being still.
Maybe it's the urgency you place on every task like the world’s on fire?
Call it out. The key is to bring what’s been silently sabotaging you from the dark into the light. Once you do, it loses power. And now? You get to reclaim yours.
✨ Step 2: Take ONE aligned action from a place of overflow.
Say no without explaining.
Raise your prices.
Take a rest day and feel no guilt.
Handle your BIG 3 before answering everyone else’s demands.
Overflow doesn’t require your perfection. It requires your participation.
