Ep 260: Vanessa Molano on Abundance as a We Thing, Not a Me Thing

Fare of the Free Child

What is abundance culture? And what does pausing have to do with sustained abundance? These are some of the questions Vanessa Molano (our resident party animal + book nerd) asks us to explore in this conversation.
"I designed a spreadsheet to help you manage your bone$ and circulate that shit."
- Vanessa
