What Does a Rich Life Actually Mean?

from The Rich Life Experiment Hosted by Paulina Roach, Lisa Haywood, Bhavna Jeram

What does a rich life actually mean to you, and when did you last stop to ask? In our first episode, the three of us answer that question for ourselves, from three different decades and three very different starting points. Bhavna shares the moment everything shifted for her: handing her baby over at preschool and thinking, “Is this how it’s done?” Lisa reflects on growing up Gen X, following every rule, and asking “who am I now?” once the kids have left home and the business is no longer her life. Paulina takes us back to being a 27-year-old general manager with 130 staff, going through a divorce, and the life coach who asked her one question that changed everything: what does a happy life look like? We also get into: Why so many people can’t answer “what brings you joy?” Programming vs conditioning, and why we live the way we do Who decided a day should look like this anyway? We leave you with three questions: What brings you joy? What does a rich life look like to you? And are we living in a simulation? Pull up a chair and join the conversation. If this resonates, follow the show and send us the questions you want us to dig into next.
