- Scarcity Myth: Jennifer and Dr. Lycka discuss the misconception that resources are limited. In reality, abundance is possible, and there's enough for everyone.
- Encouraging Others: Supporting others in their success doesn't diminish one's own opportunities but rather creates a positive, abundant environment.
