Money, Happiness, and Connection

Eeeeeep hi friends, welcome back to the 10th (!) episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ This week we're redefining wealth. What does it mean to be rich? How can society's definition of wealth actually lead us to feeling unfulfilled? To help me answer this I am joined by Sahil Bloom. Renowned entrepreneur, investor, writer of the newsletter ‘The Curiosity Chronicle’, and most excitingly, debut author of an upcoming book called ‘The 5 Types of Wealth’. Sahil has interviewed thousands of people around the world to redefine wealth in 5 compelling ways. I open the episode with a guided meditation to help you feel grounded before launching into the episode. From prioritising energy-creating tasks to unlocking more time in your day, creating deeper bonds, and building a powerful network to achieving financial independence, this conversation will remind you of what is most important in life. The episode closes with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ and we hear from Mar (@marumithreads on Instagram) who shares their Casual Magic, followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves: What went well this week? What am I proud of? What is something that challenged me this week? Based on these reflections, choose a one-word intention for your coming week. I just want to send you this reminder that no matter where you are in your self-confidence journey, no matter how you might feel today, you are always enough. 💛 Find Sahil on Instagram and YouTube: https://linktr.ee/sahilbloom Get Sahil's book 'The 5 Types of Wealth': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Types-Wealth-Transformative-Guide-Design/dp/0008623201 Learn with Lingoda: 10% off + 45 free classes with code NEWYEARMAGIC: https://try.lingoda.com/NewYearMagic [ad] (all thoughts are my own and I GENUINELY can't recommend Lingoda enough!!)
