Sarah Perl went from a scarcity mindset to millions of followers and a thriving business, she says the shift happened the moment she changed her identity, not her hustle. She unpacks detachment, manifestation, and why your subconscious mind cares more about keeping you safe than getting you what you want, while also opening up about reprogramming her childhood scarcity beliefs, the fear of losing control that comes with wanting a family, and what it really takes to trust another person with your heart.
