In this episode of Money Talk With Tiff, Tiffany Grant sits down with Elizabeth Husserl to dive deep into the “satiation paradigm”—a fresh approach to how we define and experience wealth. Instead of focusing solely on accumulating money, Elizabeth invites us to consider what it means to feel wealthy by cultivating satisfaction and fulfillment in all areas of life, not just our bank accounts. TAKEAWAYS * The satiation paradigm suggests that feeling satisfied is more important than just accumulating wealth. * We need to recognize that money is a tool, not the same as wealth itself. * To feel wealthy, we should focus on holistic well-being, including health, belonging, and purpose.
