Summary

In today’s episode, I join Rhett Power and Cynthia Johnson on Best Seller TV to share the journey from owning 33 homes in San Diego to losing everything—and the powerful lesson my mother taught me in the wake of that loss. We discuss the ideas behind my book, Connected to Goodness, focusing on gratitude, resilience, and the importance of being true to yourself, even when the cost seems high. From aligning thoughts, actions, and beliefs to embracing the concept of “I am,” we explore how setbacks reveal the deeper purpose within us. Together, we consider how collective energy, faith, and intentionality can help rebuild a life with meaning and fulfillment.
