Description

This episode challenges societal norms by questioning our widely accepted definitions of wealth and success. It dives deep into the first Beatitude—"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"—unraveling its profound implications on personal and spiritual growth. As we dive into this conversation, we begin to understand that true wealth is not measured by material possessions, but by our capacity to appreciate simplicity, embrace vulnerability, and embody humility. It's about recognizing our interconnectedness and interdependence with the world around us, rather than striving for isolated success. In this episode, Nina shares a personal story of an encounter with a rose bush, illustrating the transformative power of humility and gratitude. She invites us to show our "soft belly," to open ourselves up to the world, and to experience the richness of being an integral part of the whole. Immerse yourself in this enriching conversation about the first of the Beatitudes: 8 Keys to Happiness. Stay tuned for our next episode where we delve into the intense, comforting promise of the second Beatitude—your journey through these enlightening teachings has just begun! If this episode resonates with you, please leave a review!
