In this episode of 'Alive and Free', host Bob Gardner takes on the subject of money and its hidden messages. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and historical stories, Bob explores how financial struggles can act as warning signs rather than measures of personal worth. He recounts a conversation with a former student who was drowning in debt and feeling like a failure. Bob's approach?
Asking simple yet profound questions that revealed the student's real issue wasn't money itself, but the way he viewed it. Bob delves into the etymology of 'money' and 'monster', drawing fascinating parallels that make you rethink your relationship with cash. He argues that just like monsters in myths, financial issues serve as warnings to shift our behaviours and focus.
By the end of the episode, you'll find yourself questioning whether your financial stress is a curse or a hidden blessing urging you to adapt. It's a thought-provoking ride filled with humour, ancient myths, and practical advice. Why not listen and see if your 'monsters' are actually trying to help you out?
