Sarah's Thoughts: Why The Bezos-Sánchez ...

LiSTNR
About this episode

That post you just scrolled past? Yep, another reminder that someone else has more. More success, more sparkle, more stuff.

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg unpacks our obsession with grandeur, from Bezos-level weddings to butler’s pantries, and asks the question few dare to voice: what are we really chasing?

You’ll learn:
*Why “more” often leaves us feeling emptier than ever.
*The quiet truth behind scarcity thinking and status anxiety.
*What a simple wooden box can teach us about living a rich life.

This isn’t an episode about minimalism. It’s a call to strip back the noise and come home to what really matters: love, connection, and the legacy of how we made people feel.
