## Resource

In today’s episode, I share what my mom taught me about generosity, faith, gratitude, and the infinite loop of giving. I reflect on growing up with very little, losing everything in 2008, and learning that the more we give, the more we are given. I also talk about why receiving is a skill, why asking for more is an act of faith, and how abundance requires us to move beyond guilt, scarcity, and zero-sum thinking. Through gratitude, forgiveness, wisdom, and community, we can give more, receive more, ask for more, and empower others to do the same.
