Scarcity vs. Abundance: Which Story Are You Living?
Money isn’t just about dollars and cents — it’s about stress, security, and the way we see ourselves. In this episode of Blah, Blah, Blah…Something Wellness, Tami Sharp, Ret. Det. Chris Zamora, Lt. David Smith, and Ret. Chief Ken Koch open up about the financial lessons they wish they’d learned sooner — and how mindset plays as big a role as money itself.
