The Truth About #Abundance: Why You’re Still Living on Crumbs

What happens when your entire relationship with money, worthiness, and abundance is built on stories you absorbed before you were old enough to understand them? And what if those stories are the very things keeping you stuck, small, and spiritually exhausted?
 
In this powerful, hilarious, and deeply human conversation, we sit down with Sarah Walton... speaker, teacher, money mentor, and creator of The Abundance Academy...to dismantle the myths that keep so many of us living on emotional and financial crumbs. 

Sarah’s journey begins in a grocery store in Utah, where teenage Sarah realizes she must choose between her family’s survival and her own dreams. That moment shapes decades of decisions, right up until she’s a high-powered corporate executive with a corner office, a ficus tree, two kids she barely sees… and a constant sense that something is deeply off. 

Her story is raw, relatable, and a wake-up call for anyone who has ever believed “I can’t have both,” “there’s not enough,” or “wanting more makes me selfish.” 

In This Episode, We Explore:
1. The Three Money Myths Holding You Back
Borrowed from Lynn Twist’s The Soul of Money, and expanded through Sarah’s teaching:

• Myth #1: There’s Not Enough — The scarcity mindset that keeps us hoarding, shrinking, and apologizing for wanting more.
• Myth #2: More Is Better — The endless treadmill of “just one more digit,” and why it never creates fulfillment.
• Myth #3: That’s Just the Way It Is — The resignation that kills change before it starts… and repeats the same life over and over.

2. Sarah’s Grocery Store Origin Story
How a moment in high school shaped her entire belief system, and how she ultimately broke free after realizing her life was being run by a terrified 16-year-old.
 
3. The Corporate Career Wake-Up Call
The ficus tree. The Jimmy Choos. The constant nausea. The toddler calling her at work. The ticking clock she couldn’t un-hear. And the moment she quit her job that same day.
 
4. How to Stop Living on Crumbs
Sarah explains how to recognize when you’re accepting far less than you deserve... emotionally, energetically, financially — and how to shift into true agency and abundance.
 
5. The Exercises That Rewire Your Brain
Accessible, free, science-backed practices that change your inner chemistry and create real momentum toward your goals.
 
6. A Baymax-Shaped Money Spiritual Guide??
Yes. And honestly… it’s perfect. Sarah shares how she personifies money as a loving, warm, always-present protector inspired by Big Hero 6, and why that exercise changed her life.
 
7. Curveball Questions — Sarah Walton Edition
You know we had to. Sarah reveals:

• The one push notification she’d send to every phone on Earth
• The sassiest loving advice she’d whisper to the world
• And who money would be as a movie character...complete with monologue

Key Takeaways

• Most people’s money fears come from childhood, but adulthood offers the chance to rewrite the script.
• Wanting more doesn’t make you greedy; it makes you honest.
• You don’t need millions of followers, you just need the right “small but mighty” group who values your work.
• Awareness is the first step to freedom, especially when it comes to money.
• It is dangerous, spiritually, emotionally, financially, to believe “this is just the way things are.”
