Growing up, what was life like for you? Did you have everything you wanted, or was life average for you?
How we grew up greatly correlates with how we view abundance and prosperity. Lili grew up in an average family. Her mom was a stay-at-home, while her dad was an engineer. They didn’t have everything they wanted, but the bills got paid.
When Lili grew up, she knew she had to work extra hard wherever she wanted. Unfortunately, the victim and survival mentality cropped in from her upbringing. Limiting beliefs became her way of operating. When she moved to the US, having money for her next meal was all she kept looking forward to. Sometimes she ate one meal daily to ensure she had enough the whole week.
For Shannon, both her parents were working, but it was evident that they didn’t have money for extra things. They would only have extra things when her grandma would step in. Shannon confesses that comparing how they lived and how their relatives lived gave her the idea that they didn’t have a lot. She recalls her mom would save for a year to buy them Christmas gifts. As soon as Shannon discovered how much they didn’t have, her money went to enjoying herself when she got her first job. At 16, they had their first vacation, and it opened her mind to believe there was more to life.
Shannon’s lack mentality continued long after she had joined the workforce. She would settle for jobs that paid her less than she deserved. Reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne led her to change her scarcity mentality and adopt a mindset of prosperity and abundance.
In this episode, we will share our journey to creating and managing the energy of prosperity and abundance. Listen to learn more.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
