3:45 What Is Luxury, Really?

7:10 The Childhood Influence on How We See Money

12:25 The Designer Bag I No Longer Want—A Mindset Shift

24:55 Quiet Luxury vs. Authentic Living: The Key Differences

30:20 The Real Meaning of Wealth & How to Build It

37:15 How To Stop Overconsumption & Shop With Intention


This week we dive into:

  • How childhood, culture, and societal expectations shape our views on luxury
  • The shift from material wealth to time and location freedom
  • Why many high-end brands still use cheap materials and what that means for ‘quality’
  • How to stop buying into trends and start investing in a rich life that feels good


If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting nice things and craving financial independence, this episode is for you. Let’s redefine what success actually means.
