This week's episode explores the felt sense of "I can" - not as an affirmation or a technique, but as a genuine state of knowing that lets you brings more of yourself to whatever it is that you're doing. By the time you've finished listening, you'll be able to trace where that feeling is already present in your life, where it isn't, and what opens up each time you find it.
In this episode:
The difference between positive thinking and the genuine feeling of "I can"

How to notice where the "I can" feeling is already alive in you — and where it's quietly absent

What the "I can" state of mind actually does: more bandwidth, more presence, more access to inspiration

Why "believing you can" really does get you halfway there - and what the other half looks like

The two-step millionaire exercise, and why most people find the answer both disappointing and liberating

Why the feeling of being rich or poor changes every time you ask the question

The hidden assumption most of us carry about who and what we'd have to become to make more money
