S4 - E22: The Scarcity Code - Part 3

Probably my best iteration yet of how I I found my way out of the dark. I chose to share this information as an article I wrote for my younger self.

S4-E21: The Scarcity Code - Part 2
Who Turned The Lights On?
In this episode, this audio explores how nervous system adaptations silently shape the way we price, earn, and show up in business. From freezing at bigger ticket opportunities to collapsing under visibility, this recorded audio for my younger self, unpacks how survival logic—not strategy—often drives our decisions. We trace the five-layer Scarcity Code loop and reveal what shifts when pricing, receiving, and success stop being trauma responses and start showing up from places we've made whole. ______________________________________________________________________ Meet Shannon...
