What role does your connection to a Higher Power play in cultivating feelings of inner abundance and richness? For me, my connection to a Higher Power is the primary source of profound inner abundance and richness. While society often associates material possessions with worthiness, it sometimes leads us into a sense of lack that can never be truly fulfilled. Connecting with something greater than myself feels like tapping into an infinite reservoir of love, guidance, and support that nourishes my soul and fills me up.
This week on INSIDE THE WOONIVERSE, I’m speaking with renowned superyacht captain and series lead on Bravo’s hit television show Below Deck, Captain Sandy Yawn.
