True wealth is in how we feel about the life we’ve lived looking back on it.

And when I think back to all the financial challenges we’ve faced, I feel proud. Each one felt insurmountable at the time, but each one taught us to lean harder into our values. To learn, grow, and build something more intentional. To resist the pull of society’s narrative and instead craft our own.

What Do You Want to Remember?
When you’re faced with a tough decision, ask yourself this: What do you want to remember at the end of your life? Is it the hours spent chasing societal success, or the moments that made your heart feel full?


Your Turn to Reflect
Below is a quick reflection opportunity. Take a moment to settle in and consider the questions below using the audio above to guide you.

• What are the “pictures” on your wall that represent your North Star?
• What’s a situation in your life right now that feels uncertain?
• How can you use your own version of the “pictures” to reconnect you with your values and provide clarity in the moment?
• What would it look like to prioritize what truly matters—even if it defies societal expectations?
