This holiday season, we’re shifting the focus from what’s under the tree to what’s happening in our hearts. Inspired by The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, in episode 540, I explore the concept of psychological wealth—the emotional and relational richness that defines a fulfilling life.

Psychological wealth isn’t about money or possessions. It’s about cultivating gratitude, building meaningful relationships, and finding joy in life’s simple moments. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of gratitude and redefine what it means to live a truly rich life.
