127: Power of Giving Back with Laura Welty

Namaste, it's Sahara Rose. And welcome back to the Highest Self podcast, a place where you discuss what makes you your soul's highest evolvement. I am really excited to share with you today's episode because it is with a Highest Self podcast listener, Laura Welty. She listened to episode 46 a few months ago. That episode is called Financial why Abundance is a Mindset we need to Pay Attention to. Which was a solo cast that I did when I was just thinking about how my life has changed so much from adapting an abundance mindset. And now today I'm offering you guys my Abundance Mindset masterclass, which essentially teaches you the things that I had to do in my brain to change my relationship with money. And by changing my relationship with money, I was sudden able to make a massive impact in other people's lives. I was no longer struggling for my own change and trying to get by myself. But I finally had this extra discretionary income and the first thing I wanted to do was to share it with others because when we give, we receive. And I truly, truly believe that money can only come to you when it is flowing. So the first thing I wanted to do when I finally was making an income was to help other people and give back. And last October, I went to a conference in Aspen. Lead with Love. And it is there that I was sitting in a presentation by this incredible man named Scott Neeson. And Scott Neeson was once a major Hollywood film producer. Lots of big, big, big time movies, you can google him. And he was going through a rough patch in his life. He was really questioning what is the point of this money and all of these accomplishments, this big house, what's the point of it all? And he was really looking for more spirituality in his life. And he used to take a lot of Sean Koren's yoga classes. He decided to go to Cambodia to study more of the Buddhism. And he was sitting on a bus getting from the airport to these Buddhist sites and he looked out the window and saw these massive acres of just trash, pure trash, pollution, like entire hills of it. And all of these people living in the trash. And he was shocked. How can human beings live like this? I mean, the temperatures were 120 degrees and the plastic is melting, which is extremely toxic and causes cancer. And small children are living in a literal dumpster, a village in a dumpster. And old women were looking for food scraps or any, anything that they could sell. And you know, there were a lot of families that were extremely sick. Mothers who were dying, fathers who were addicted to drugs. Some of these people were bor in this dumpster, whereas others of them were excommunicated from their village. For example, if a wife left her husband, she had nowhere to go. She was left in the dump. Or when these slums get too filled up, these people have nowhere to go, so they end up in the dump. So it is essentially where the people who are stuck with nothing end up. And literally in the worst, most inhumane conditions. And that, to him, spoke to him much more than even just being in the meditation. He thought, how can I just ignore this and say, well, I'm off to go to, you know, see my Buddhist sites. How can I ignore what is happening to the people of this glorious land? And it was on his mind for months and months, and he couldn't think about anything else. And eventually he sold all of his belongings, his home, everything he had to his name, and he moved to this dumpster in Cambodia. And he was working with them. But he realized that the only way to help these people is to get them out of there. And he set up a school called the Cambodian Children's Fund. And this school takes kids out of this dump and gives them a full education, like K through 12 education. And that started to grow. And it wasn't just the orphans. They started to bring whole families out. The kids would go to school, and the parents would live in subsidized homes nearby. And they would even help find jobs and do job training for the parents. And they even created a grandmother program so these grandmothers can also not have to beg and live off of scraps. But the grandmothers can be healed and saved and have a place that they can be supported. And the grandmothers are the ones who pass on these ancient Khmer traditions, which were essentially. They tried to blow them away in the Cambodian war, the genocide, really, that happened in the 1980s. So a lot of Cambodian culture died off, but the ancient ways live on with the elders. So they wanted to create a program that can sustain these grandmothers so they could pass on the ancient traditions of the Cambodian people to the children. And now they have so many incredible initiatives from helping, you know, give rice to these families, jobs, maternal care, clean water, community services, helping them find homes and places that they can really create a life for themselves. And it is incredibly grassroots. They hire local Cambodian people to work there. They teach these children just skills for jobs that are needed today. And it was such an amazing experience to learn about and to see the videos and to see that how much this service has changed this man's life. So I decided that I wanted to sponsor a young child from Cambodia. And for me at this time, it was the biggest commitment I had kind of given financially because it was $150 a month. And really, when you start to sponsor a kid, it is a dedication that probably you should continue sponsoring that kid. I mean, you don't want a young child to be able to go to school one year and the next year not be able to go to school. So last year I decided to sponsor this young girl. She is the sweetest thing. I've mentioned her on the podcast a few times, and she's five years old, and I sponsored her and we Skype and it was amazing. And then earlier this year, I decided to also sponsor a grandmother, which has also been amazing. The grandmothers, they don't see Skype with you because, you know, they don't know anything about technology, but just to be able to preserve that wisdom. And on this episode, episode 46, which I recommend checking out if you haven't financial self care, I spoke about just this up leveling I had to do to really trust in the universe that this money is going to multiply. It's going to keep coming back to me if I give it to other people. And it totally has. Flash forward eight months later, 100% it has. So after Laura listened to this episode, she. She decided that she would go to Cambodia to visit the school herself. And she wasn't planning to go to Cambodia. She literally decided to go based off of the high self podcast episode, which is so beautiful. And she went to this exact school and she sponsored a girl and she had her friends also sponsor another girl and she took these girls out for a day. So in this episode, I talk with her about what was her experience like. And this is such a great episode to listen to for anyone that feels like, oh, well, I'm not special. Oh, I have. I can't make a change. Who am I? What do I have to offer back? And it doesn't matter. You know, we are so privileged that we lose sight of how much we have that we take for granted. I mean, if you have a home, you are better off than a major percentage of this planet. If you have clean water, you are better off than a lot of people. The challenge that I'm doing right now, the Eat Like a Yogi challenge, head over to my Instagram @iamsaharose to check that out. We're doing it to raise money for the woman and children in Rajasthan who don't have access to Clean water. A lot of these girls are actually taken out of school so they can be the water collector of their families because they're walking up to 15 miles a day just to get water. So this is how real this issue is. And you can imagine in a dumpster what access to clean water is there. I don't even know if there's a well for them to walk to. So we are so lucky. We are so privileged. Whether it's through volunteering or whether it's through stepping up your own financial game and getting a hold of your own abundance mindset, you are able to give back in so many spectrums in so many ways. So I hope this episode inspires you that you know the reason why abundance matters. The reason why I'm hosting the Abundance Mindset Masterclass, which starts beginning of November. Head over to my show Notes to check that out. The reason why it is so important to do the work is so you can give back. It is so much larger than you. It is not so you can have fancy house or car, clothes, bags, whatever. It is so you can say there is a girl out there who is going to school, whose family is healed, who doesn't have to live in a dumpster anymore. That Lord knows what would have happened to her because I stepped up my A game. Like, what could be a better feeling than that? And this is something that every single one of you, you listening right now, you have the potential to do. And sometimes we think, oh, my God, $150. I could never afford that a month. Oh, my God, I can't, I can't. Fear comes up. And I talk about an episode of 46, but that was majorly coming up for me. But if you say, listen, universe, I'm going to make this extra $150 a month happen because this is my money that I'm going to give back. Universe sees how you spend your money, and it basically gifts you more. And you're going to find ways that money is going to keep flowing to you. Naturally, you'll see. I mean, someone sent me a message that she listened to my other podcast, Abundance mindset podcast number 105, I believe that is. Yes, 105. And she said after she's a social worker, which has, like, capped income, and suddenly her boyfriend gets a $20,000 check for something. And it was all because she was changing her abundance mindset, the way that she speaks to herself about money. So this is why it's so important to do the work. So if you want to join me to change your abundance. After this episode, head over to the Show Notes. Head over to my website, iamsaharrose.com come join me in the Abundance Mindset masterclass. It's gonna be about unlocking your Dosha's unique money traits. How what your money blocks are, what is holding you back so you can live a more abundant, free and fruitful life. And more importantly, help others like Laura Welty on today's Highest Self podcast episode. So special thank you to Laura. Thank you for standing up. Thank you for not just listening to the podcast, but for going out to Cambodia to help these children. We honor you, we love you, we appreciate you. And if any of you decides to sponsor a child or a grandmother, the grandmothers are only $50 a month from Cambodian Children's Fund. Tag me on your Instagram post, share a picture of your new granny, your new kid and I will reshare it and I send you a ebook and my gratitude and my love and my prayers and you know, I don't need to send you anything. We shouldn't do things to get things from other people. This is almost how like our culture is. We do things to get something back. But anyways, I will because I love you. But do it because it's helping other people and that's what matters. Also, I'd like to make my book tour announcement. I will be coming to several different cities not just to share my book, but to have a Bollywood dance party and hug each other and talk all about the doshas and relationships and business and self care and everything in between. My book launch events are so much more than me just talking about the book, but it's really a way to create community and to have a lot of fun. So come join me. October 12th in LA, October 17th in New York, November 30th in Miami. And I'm going to be going to San Diego sometime in between. Then head over to my website, eatfeelfresh.com book. I'm going to be adding some more cities, so head over there so you can stay tuned. And I'm so excited to meet you in person. Without further ado, let's welcome Laura Weltsey to the Highest Self podcast. Laura, welcome to the Highest Self podcast. It's so great to have you here.

Thank you. Thank you for having me excited.

Yes. And I am so inspired by your story. But the first question that I want to ask you is what makes you your highest self?

Oh boy, I knew you were going to ask me that. So what makes me my highest self? Is honestly just following my dharma and doing what I think my purpose here is, and that's really to serve people. So part of that has to do with what this talk is all about, in that just helping people in general really makes me vibrate higher and aligns me with my truth. So everything else just kind of falls into place.

Totally. Yes. And I love your story because you really took action. Like, a lot of people hear something inspiring, and they're like, oh, that's great, and then they don't do anything, but you actually took action. So can you share with us a little bit about what happened from listening to the podcast, what you ended up doing?

Yes, yes. So it's interesting because you talk a lot about how the universe aligns you with what you need, who you need, and everything just kind of comes to you when you're ready for it. And I started listening to your podcast, and I actually, like, binge listened to it in December. I drive a lot for work, so I listened pretty much nonstop to all of your podcasts. All my friends were like, what's happened to you? We haven't talked to you in so long. So that was kind of the start of it. And in January, I heard the podcast about the children's fund, and it just really, really hit home for me because I've always felt like I wanted to do more, but I didn't know how. And I always wanted to get involved, but again, I didn't really know how. Like, how could I have an active role in helping people? That was something that I could fit into my daily life and, you know, that financially fit in something that was easy to do for the time being. And it was just. It was very emotional for me. I don't know. It just really spoke to me, and I started to cry. I pulled my car over. I instantly went to the website. I emailed CCF right away. I. I didn't do any research. I just instantly signed up. I don't know, I just felt like I connected really well with you. So I trusted that this was a good ngo. And of course, afterwards, my brother and other people were like, you know that there's some bad ones out there. You really should have done your research. And lo and behold, I think that you recommended by far one of the most credible, amazing organizations that I've ever been to. I'm completely blown away by what Scott Neeson has done with CCF and the Children of Cambodia. So that was kind of the start of it. And so I had already planned a trip to Thailand in March. So I was thinking I hadn't bought my plane ticket yet. So, again, there was 100% a reason why I hadn't bought my plane ticket yet. I just kind of kept putting it off. And I was like, there's no way that I can go clear across the world and not take advantage of going there and visiting Lisa, the little girl that I sponsor. You know, I just booked my ticket. I had no expectations of Cambodia, and it was quite possibly one of the most magnificent trips I've ever taken in my entire life. I can't wait to go back. I'm dying to go back. I wish I had unlimited vacation so I could hop on a plane tomorrow and get back there. So I went. I was in communications with ccf, and I ended up taking both Lisa and her sister Tina out for the day. It was the first time that the girls had been to a restaurant. Wow. Yeah. Sorry.

My.

I was the first person to visit them. Their grandmother had reached out to CCF because their parents got divorced, and the father. I guess in their culture, when a marriage fails, the dad just completely leaves, and the mother, when she finds somebody new, just kind of abandons her family, essentially. And so I guess it's very relevant to their culture that children are just often put to the side or on the other end. They're used for work and for labor. So in this case, the grandmother stepped in and sent them. She reached out to CCF and sent the girls there. So with all of her family being so close, to think that in over a year, I was the first. First person to see them was really, really hard to hear. I just. I couldn't wrap my head around that.

Yeah, no, absolutely. And to imagine that that is so commonplace, and it's not just in Cambodia. I mean, it even happens in the US it happens so much that they feel like those children remind them of the ex, so they want to disassociate themselves from that point of their lives. And oftentimes they also fear that then no one else will marry them if they have these kids.

Right.

I saw that when I was volunteering in Peru, and that was very common as well. So. So what was it like when you took them out to lunch? Was there. Was it hard to communicate with the language difference? What was that experience like?

So it was interesting, actually, because I'm not naturally. I have a daughter of my own, but I'm not naturally one that loves. I know that sounds terrible. It's just not. I can't explain it. It's just. I don't have that, you know, when a child, like, is near me, I don't know, I've just always felt, like, awkward or uncomfortable with them. And it was so interesting because I felt so connected to them, and I felt so. Like I had so much love to give them. And even though we couldn't communicate, it didn't feel like that. Like, I felt like we were communicating on a different level, on an unspoken level. And it was beautiful. I don't know how else to describe it. It was just sitting at lunch. She sat next to me, and I had my arm around her. I was rubbing her back and just trying to give her love in ways that, I don't know, maybe she had never gotten before. And it just. It wasn't difficult in the sense that it was hard to be there. I can't really explain it. It was. It was just a really beautiful moment. And knowing that I was able to provide them with even just a couple hours of allowing them to be children. For one. We went to this little play place that they have in Cambodia where they were able to do bumper cars and, you know, just be kids was amazing. And, you know, of course, in the beginning, when I first got there, they. They were a little hesitant of me. Her sister was kind of. I felt as though she was trying to protect her from me because they weren't sure, you know, they didn't know me, obviously. And by the time we got a little more comfortable, after I took them shopping again, the first time that they had ever been shopping, they started to warm up a little bit, and I could tell that they were able to just be kids. It was the most amazing thing ever. To see them laughing and smiling and just being kids was just so incredible. So taking them out for the day was amazing. But then later on in the day, I had the opportunity to actually go to ccf. So they really show you where your money goes, which is phenomenal because you not only get to know the kids, but you get to see the schools themselves. And you also get to see. They have a little site where they have homes that they have built for families that, you know, they pay. I think it's just a very, very small fee. I can't remember exactly what it was. The day was a lot for me to take in. It was the day after I got there. So emotionally, it was. It was a lot to take in. I wish I had a couple days to spend there to really take it all in.

And what part of Cambodia is it in?

So it's in Phnom Penh which I think is one of the largest cities in Cambodia, down on the south southeast side. I think it's not very far from Siem Reap. It was about a 45 minute flight to Siem Reap. So it is one of the larger cities. I think it might be the largest city actually in Cambodia.

And did you see the dumpster where a lot of the children and their families are from?

Yes, so I actually saw. So in between the schools, there is a large field and I think I sent you a picture of that where that was the original dump site that they shut down for good. So they filled it in. They shut it down for good, basically saying, like, we're putting this in the past, no more. And one of the big things in Cambodia with education is educating the children on their history, on Cambodian history and what happened with Pol Pot and the mass genocide, on anybody that appeared to be intelligent or anybody that, you know, had a job that gave them some sort of upper hand in society. Their main goal is to really educate children on how to change the cycle and how to break the cycle and to move forward from that and rise above it. You know, the whole putting it to an end and educating the kids and moving forward is. It's so profound. There you see signs everywhere about how education moves you forward. Education is the way reading. It's just really, really a great environment for these children to get out of this cyclical behavior and move forward in life and hopefully be, you know, whatever they want to be. It's really, really a beautiful place. He also has an area in one of the communities where they built a playground. So it's not only a playground for the school, but it's also a playground for the local children. They have running water, fresh running water that the local community is able to come and fill up jugs. So that way they have clean drinking water. They also have a program where I can't remember exactly how much it is, but the local community is able to come and gather rice. So that way they have food. He's really doing so much in the community to try and change the past and to try and build a strong foundation for Cambodia. It goes so far beyond just, just taking in orphans. It's so much more than that. And I was just completely blown away by how such little money, I mean, I think about how much it is a month, I think it's $150 to sponsor a child. And when you think about how little that is in all reality, but how far it's going over there and how many people it's helping, how essentially it's changing the whole environment of Cambodia. It's changing the whole environment and the whole future of that area. It's pretty miraculous. So I don't know. I just, I say if anybody is listening to this now that they're listening for a reason. And if it's not with ccf, then it should be with something else. Because even if it's $25, you know, they, they have a couple programs, I think, where you can donate $25 a month and you're not locked into anything. But how far 25 dol can go in a third world country is just phenomenal to allow people to have fresh, clean drinking water.

Yes. And they have a grandmother sponsorship program too, which I think is like $80 a month. And then you can. Because so many elderly people are abandoned and no one takes care of them, so you can even just have an elderly person. They're creating these programs where the elderly teach the younger people the old Cambodian traditions that have been lost to like, you know, bring back the ancient wisdom. So if you can't afford the school for the Child, which is 150, you can sponsor the grandma or you can just give a donation.

Yes, yes. Yeah, the grannies, they have a whole little compound where the grannies. I think I sent you pictures on those. I'm not 100% sure.

I'll put up all the pictures that you sent me and any others you have on highself podcast.com for this episode so people can look see you with the girls. And you know, because I, I haven't even been there and I really. And I think it's amazing that you just went for it and it's so inspiring for people because you just heard it on this podcast and now they're hearing you on this podcast. So I really hope this creates a ripple effect of like tons of people going and visiting the kids there.

Yeah, I think that it definitely will. I mean, I think when you truly listen to your heart and what speaks to you, it's just I will never be the same after visiting there, ever. It has truly changed me forever. And it's funny, actually, one of the girls that works for CCF called me late last week. Her name's Liz. And she asked, you know, how did you hear about us? I said, sahara Rose Podcast. And she said that there have been several Americans that have actually found out through your podcast.

So beautiful.

You're spreading the word and you're changing the lives of many.

Oh, well, I just Found out about it because I went to this conference in Aspen and Scott Neeson, the founder of it, was speaking there. And then I just saw the pictures and the videos that he was showing. And just like the before and afters of these kids who were literally starving, malnourished, like flies all over them, found in a dumpster with an abusive drug addicted father who would sell them for prostitution and then use the money to buy drugs, like these types of situations. And he was a, you know, a Hollywood producer, produced so many big time movies and he went for a backpacking trip in Cambodia and to like, you know, study spirituality and stuff because he wasn't happy. And then he just drove by this dumpster and he was like, wait, stop. And then he saw just thousands of kids living in there. And it's not just living in it. They're sleeping there. They're taking in all the plastic and poison, the batteries that are in there. And they're getting cancer, cancer. They're getting horrible preventable diseases and then they're sniffing things, getting addicted, and it's like a seriously catastrophe. So do you know if there are still a lot of dumpsters like this in Cambodia?

So there are, they do still exist. And the gentleman that drove us around, he actually will drive around looking for children and will many times follow them and follow them back to the homes and say, hey, you know, this is what we do. We would like to give you the opportunity to allow us to send your child to school to take care of them. And a lot of the families don't want to do it simply because they use their children for work. And then a lot of them are grateful for it. But then there's also the ones in the middle. So they were explaining to me that they have to be careful when it comes time for visits like a holiday and whatnot, where the families will come and get their children and they will use them for work. And many times they'll go driving around and they'll see the kids, you know, searching through the trash for plastic or for, you know, whatever they can find to sell or to make something with to sell or the worst part, yeah, sex trafficking. So they're really, really on top of all of that, which again, for an ngo, I think is phenomenal. Another thing that they really work hard at is making sure that the families, so the communities that they have that I was explaining to you that they built a little community of homes. I think it's a 300 and some odd homes that they provide at a low cost. They educate the families on basically, you know, how to get out of where they've been. And if the families are not. If they're not holding up to those standards, they have very strict standards. They have to exit the program. And I think the same goes for the children that go to the school, that if the children are misbehaving, if the children are not, you know, trying to better themselves and get out of that situation, if they. They keep, you know, acting up or fighting or trying to leave to do whatever, find things to sell or do drugs and whatnot, then, you know, they have several talks with them, and then eventually they have unfortunately exit the program because the resources are limited. And so they really want to make sure the resources go towards the ones that truly, truly are going to benefit from this.

Totally. Yes. And I know that they also provide the shelter for the family as long as they're not using drugs and doing those things, because they want everyone to be on board. And with some kids, they have them live in, in a separate, like, I guess a boarding school type facility. I don't know if you saw that.

Yes. Yeah. That's where Tina and Lisa live and. Yeah. The boarding school, the orphanage part of it.

Okay. And how many kids are, like, in each room? Like, did you get to walk around in that?

I actually didn't. I went there at the very end of the day and the girls came out, and then I ended up walking them back to it. I didn't fully walk in, so I have no idea what the rooms look like.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's like bunk beds and, you know, it's probably. But so much better than, you know, living in a dump site or with an abusive family. And the only way, really, you can change your life is to, like, get out of that situation. And that's what I love about them. It's like, they take these kids and when you are paying for the sponsor, you are fully taking care of them from their food to their school fees to their residents. And some organizations are like, you know, they. They'll maybe teach a class and it's in the dump site. And that's still really great. And it's better than nothing. But what I think that they found has worked is like, to really transform a life, you have to look at all levels.

Exactly. Yeah. They make sure that they cover every aspect of it. It's not just medical or food. Yeah. It's really. I can't explain it. The way that that facility is run. They're 100% changing. Cambodia. There's no doubt in my mind that, yeah, you. You really, really need to go. It's. It has.

For sure. For sure. So. And I'd love to ask you, you know, for a lot of people, like, $150 a month is a lot of money, and it can bring up a lot of fear. And it can also. Which it brought up for me is like, well, I can't just do it for one year, and then the next year, what, the girl's not gonna go to school? Like, it's like, you really have to uplevel. So how did you kind of like, take that step to really say, yes, I'm going to provide education for this child and do whatever it takes?

I don't know. I'm kind of a bad person to ask that question to because I don't know. I'm the kind of person that I believe what you put out, you get back. And it never crosses my mind. Finances are just something that I have zero attachment to, and I don't know. I think it's a great way to live. I know other people would think otherwise. I have no fear when it comes to finances, and especially when it comes to charity and helping. And because I truly believe that if you can't help, like, I'm not able to give them three months to volunteer. I would love to do that. And my plan eventually is to do that and to take my daughter to do it as well. So financially, it is something that I'm capable to do. So for me, if you can give, which, however, you can give back, if it's going to a soup kitchen, if it's just helping somebody on the street, just all those little acts, the universe hears them, they see them. You can't hide from it, you know, you can't hide from spirit. So to me, it just. It all comes back to you. I don't think about it. It's not. Never anything that crossed my mind.

Beautiful. Well, you have a strong abundance mindset, then, that you're like, these kids need help, and I'm just going to step up. And the truth is, we can all make the money for it, because money is. Is an. Is a endless resource, and if we really choose to focus on something, we can make that money show up.

Exactly. I 100% agree with that. It'll come back to you in some way. You know, I'm. I'm obviously not swimming in money, but I feel like I am. But if it were a situation where I didn't have $150, I would try the $25 or, you know, I would try something and I'm sure all of us, all Americans, we have way too much excess of things. We go out to eat all the time. We drive to the mall. We, you know, so if you can just think of one part of your life that you could scale back something so small, as in, you know, driving, not paying attention to how you're driving or where you're driving to. I mean, you can save on gas. You could. There are just so many. Any places that I think we are gluttonous in that you could scale back and give to somebody else and then it'll all come back to you.

I love that. That's such great advice. Well, thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I know it's going to inspire so many more people to take that action step. Go on the CCF website or any other organization that they've done their research on. This is just one that now you've had personal experience with and I've met the founder. So this is one that we can safely trust. But there are other amazing ones out there doing incredible things. So whatever it is that calls you guys, just go for it. Don't second guess yourself. Look at Laura here. I mean, she's like, you're such a light and you're such a profound person to just go for it. And I think just that example is going to bring so many more people into Cambodia, India, Vietnam, wherever it is, is.

I hope so. I really, really hope so.

Thank you so much. Namaste.

Thank you, Sahara.

How beautiful is it to hear someone just truly care and truly want to make a difference out there. It's such a beautiful gift to share. So thank you, Laura, for going out to Cambodia and for visiting Cambodian Children's Fund. And for any of you who want to sponsor a daughter, who want to sponsor a son, who want to sponsor a granny, head over to cambodianchildrensfund.org you can head over to my show Notes. I'll have a link there. Share with me a picture of your new son, daughter or grandma. Would love to see it. I'll share it. And if you want to change your mindset on abundance, to cultivate more abundance so you can sponsor 10 kids, 20 kids, a whole school, make your own foundation. Go for it. The sky's the limit. When you are abundant, you can help and you can serve and you can solve the issues that matter to you. You don't like how the rainforest is being chopped down. You buy that rainforest. You don't like how the oceans are being hurt. You knock down those. Those fishermen. I don't know if we can do that with money, but, you know, there's a lot you can do. You can feed the homeless. You can teach people about female sanitation. You can educate immigrants who come to this country on job skills. There's so much you can do across the planet and in your own backyard. All that matters is that you want to do. Do something with this life. And it starts with you. You can't skip. You can't skip and go to the other people. You have to help yourself, too. So come join me. The abundance mindset masterclass. It's gonna blow away your limiting beliefs, conditions, help you set up an online business if that's what you choose to do afterwards, but really help you get to the root of your money blocks. And again, head over to Cambodian children's fund sponsor, yo daughter, yo granny. You can also just give a donation if you don't wanna make a sponsorship. Beautiful choice too, and I am so looking forward to t tuning in on the next episode. Namaste.
