Trusting Intuition and Building Connections

What if one hidden belief in your 20s is the reason you’re broke and single? In this episode the Tiger Sisters decode “The Scarcity Trap.”

Cherie Brooke Luo and Jean Luo share the Stanford communication insight that reveals how a single mindset can sabotage promotions and dating before you even open your mouth — and break down the tiny rewires that flip you into abundance.

You’ll learn:

▫️ The scarcity sentence recruiters and first dates hear in your tone—before you speak a word

▫️ Why “waiting for perfect timing” quietly drains years of income and romance potential

▫️ The 3-V Formula (visual, verbal, vocal) that locks in lasting first impressions

▫️ A Stanford-inspired scarcity audit you can run in five minutes tonight
