What if scarcity isn’t about how much you have, but how you relate to it? Jessie Cae and Dr. Shadow Mike explore the subtle ways scarcity shows up—from inherited fears and holding on “just in case” to impulse buying, overgiving, and keeping every option open. Through tarot, the myths of Tantalus and King Midas, and their own experiences, they explore presence, receiving, and what wealth actually means to you. In this episode: - Having plenty while fearing it will never be enough. - The Five of Pentacles, the Tower, and the identities we outgrow. - Gratitude without silencing your needs. - Moving from gripping to giving and receiving.

Shadow MikeHost

I think this, you know, there's so much to explore here because I think that we are immersed in an atmosphere of scarcity.

Shadow MikeHost

1:07

It's not like a

J

1:08

FOMO.

Shadow MikeHost

1:09

Yeah, the FOMO.

Shadow MikeHost

Shadow MikeHost

1:18

So how do you get out? How do you see it? Because you're kind of in it.

J

You are it.

J

1:24

I think that's where we're

Shadow MikeHost

1:25

at.

J

1:26

You are.

J

1:27

You are the scarcity.

J

1:29

Just like we want to become wealth, we want to not be scarcity on the flip side of that.

Oh, like definitely so many generational wounds for me.
