Episode 61: From Scarcity to Abundance: Money, Grief, and Growth with Mary Dee

What begins as a conversation about money mindset turns into a powerful reflection on how we show up for ourselves and others, especially in a time where the world can feel heavy, chaotic, or even hopeless. We explore how our struggles with money often mirror other parts of our lives—like boundaries, control, jealousy, and grief—and how those "annoying people" or triggering moments are often mirrors revealing where we still have work to do.If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded, generous, and connected when everything feels overwhelming—or how to move from scarcity into alignment—this episode is for you.Mary Dee joins us. She is a dog Mom, chocoholic, best selling author of Asian Women Who Boss Up, host of the Mad Love Your Life Show, and a trusted business advisor and Conscious Closure Coach who helps businesses and individuals transitioning through break ups, and major life event transitions like divorce, break ups and layoffs.💡 What You’ll Learn:How money is an energetic relationship—and not just a number in your bank accountWhy scarcity mindset keeps you stuck (and how to shift it without toxic positivity)How to define wealth on your own terms so you’re not chasing someone else’s version of successThe surprising connection between nervous system regulation, trauma, and money flowWhy grief, jealousy, and even annoying coworkers can be mirrors for growthHow to show up as a healing force in your community—even when the world feels chaoticReal talk on entrepreneurship, hustle culture, and what it really means to live in alignmentThe power of gratitude, connection, and presence as tools for financial and emotional healing00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:57 Meet Mary D: Background and Expertise01:30 Understanding Money as an Energetic Relationship02:45 Diving into Money Mindset04:34 The Emotional Impact of Money06:16 Defining Personal Wealth and Success16:40 The Importance of Community and Connection30:18 Exploring Judgment and Jealousy31:25 The Power of Gratitude and Connection35:50 Navigating Financial Scarcity45:50 Embracing Presence and Gratitude48:19 The Role of Grief in Gratitude51:47 Finding Joy Amidst Chaos55:31 Filling Your Own Cup First56:38 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsYou can find Mary Dee on IG @themarydee and all other platformsYou can follow her podcast MAD LOVE: Your life showYou can also find her website here https://www.marydee.netWant support for perimenopause that goes beyond hormones?Whether you (or your clients) are taking HRT but still having symptoms, not ready for it, or can’t tolerate it...there’s more we can do.I’ll be sharing practical tools from a movement and rehab perspective, focusing on the nervous system, fascia, lymph, viscera, and musculoskeletal system.If you want updates on workshops, resources, and strategies to support this phase of life more fully, would love you to join my email list.Subscribe to my email list hereI’ll see you in 2 weeks!PS:If you are interested in being a guest on the show, please fill out the form here.
