Episode 7: Same Word, Different Meaning | Sherice Pagel

I love that you asked this question because a lot of my work comes down to how every single person has a different meaning to the same word.

That is the number one thing that causes arguments in relationships.

That's a fact.

And that includes my relationship with my husband.

But my meaning of wealth is being able to create something where you aren't in survival mode.

It's not necessarily financial.

It's an accumulation of things.

So I see things inclusively or functionally, whatever the word you want to call it.

Everything is connected, just like your body.

Everything in life is connected.

And so wealth to me is all of these different areas or categories of life.

and being out of that survival mode into a place where you feel grateful but also still have challenges.

And wealth specifically is creating something in my mind that you can carry on to your legacies below you.

That's great.

Yeah, I think that that's where I started asking that question is because so many times I would yell wealth is and yeah, some people yell money, but a lot of people will time relationships, you know, they have all kinds of things that they they apply to it.

And, you know, even the name of the show effed up wealth is really designed to get people thinking about something different than the way they may have otherwise categorized it.

And so how do you typically approach that?

Approach what?

Just the idea that there's all kinds of things and words that people use that are, um, maybe there's a different interpretation.

Well, I am still learning that by the way.

That is a constant thing that I am working on and I will probably work on it for the rest of my life.

And a perfect example of how I experience it is just one argument that my husband and I had when we were dating.

And it came across from the word in love or two words.

I'm so in love with you versus I love you.

And for me, in love is the deepest.
