Understanding the Story Beneath the Numbers

  • “The only cure to the illusion of more is that we, in and of ourselves, are enough.”

    BOOK QUOTE

  • “...We think that financial abundance, not holistic abundance, will fill the void of a broken spirit.”

    BOOK QUOTE

  • Sometimes the optimal financial strategy has nothing to do with money. Just because you know better doesn’t mean you’ll do better. Don’t you already know you should save? Invest? Have a life insurance policy? Limit the use of your credit card? You don’t need me to tell you to do these things. Exploring why you aren’t acting on what you know is where the real magic happens.

    BOOK QUOTE

  • We go “all in” just to feel good about something, collecting only moments of fleeting happiness before diving even deeper into the bottomless abyss of more. The only cure to the illusion of more is the realization that we, in and of ourselves, are enough.

    BOOK QUOTE

  • Above all else, we should always be patient with ourselves. Mistakes will be made along the way. They don’t define you- only your commitment to getting better.
