When we think about wealth, most of us picture the obvious things — the car, the house, the shoes, the vacations. But here’s the truth: that’s not wealth. That’s spending.

In Chapter 9 of The Psychology of Money, we were reminded that real wealth is quiet. It’s hidden. It’s what you don’t see.

That shifted something for us in a powerful way. Let’s talk about it.

✨ 3 Powerful Takeaways from This Week’s Conversation

1️⃣ Rich vs. Wealthy

Being rich often means showing money through possessions. Being wealthy means having assets and freedom that nobody else can see. This chapter reminded us not to confuse the two.

2️⃣ Wealth Is Hidden

Wealth is invisible because it shows up in what’s not spent. That makes it harder to find true wealthy role models, but it also teaches us to redefine what we’re chasing.

3️⃣ Value Starts With Us

The way we think about money reflects how we think about ourselves. Just like a Birkin bag is valuable because people believe it is, our services, work, and gifts carry the value we assign to them. When we decide we’re worth it, others align with that.

✨ 3 Action Steps to Apply

✨ Step 1: Redefine Wealth

Write down what wealth means to you. Focus less on things you can show, and more on freedom, peace, and assets.

✨ Step 2: Audit Your Self-Worth

Ask yourself: Am I undervaluing what I offer? Where can I confidently raise my standards or prices to reflect my true worth?

✨ Step 3: Separate Tasks

Practice distinguishing between operational tasks (daily/urgent things like bills, content, or calls) and foundational tasks (long-term vision work like building systems or a course). This clarity creates overflow instead of burnout.

💖 Personal Note from Amber Breanna

This chapter reminded us that wealth is so much bigger than what meets the eye. It’s about the invisible systems we build, the self-worth we carry, and the foundation that supports everything else.

Remember: you are the one who sets the value of your work. When you know your worth, you stop chasing shiny things and start creating true freedom.

You’re more powerful than you realize. Keep building what can’t be seen, and watch how everything visible begins to overflow.

With love & power,
