What is the only true wealth you possess?
Inspired by Robin Sharma's book, The Wealth Money Can't Buy, our host reflects on the second and most vital form of wealth: Health. He shares a deeply personal moment at Melkbos beach alongside his mother, who is navigating life in a care home with dementia.

Discover why the sheer simplicity of taking a breath at ease is your most profound blessing. This episode is a powerful reminder to check your pulse, let go of the minor frustrations, and be profoundly grateful for the core riches that truly make life a gift.
