What does it really mean to feel rich? Not the dollar-sign kind, but the soul kind.
The kind that sounds like belly laughs, morning sunlight, shared meals, and knowing you are already enough without needing anything extra to sponsor your happiness.

This week, we’re questioning the myth the world keeps selling us: that happiness lives in the next purchase, the next upgrade, the next shiny thing sitting in your Amazon cart. We talk about consumption culture, Black Friday madness, the influencer illusion, and how easy it is to believe you’re one “add-to-cart” away from fulfillment. Spoiler: you’re not.

Because happiness isn’t waiting for you on delivery day. It’s here, in the in-between. You can feel wealthy now, with what you already have and who you already are. No new sofa, face serum, or boyfriend required.

If you’ve ever bought something thinking it would fix the feeling
If you’ve ever compared your life to someone’s highlight reel
If you’ve ever wondered why “more” still doesn’t feel like enough

This conversation is going to feel like a slow exhale and a gentle reminder that joy is chosen, not shipped. Tap in and rethink what being rich really means.

Wait What's Next? Hosts: Laura Alba & Leni Vasquesz
