✨ True Wealth with Betty ✨
True Wealth is not our bank balance, the car we drive, the size of our home, or how many employees we have.
True Wealth is our ability to appreciate the phenomenal world.
To joyfully give and receive.
To feel connected and part of something bigger than just ourselves.
Many people are externally wealthy -- they have the money, the house, the car, the lifestyle; but internally they are they are poverty stricken, because they are disconnected, unhappy and their hearts are full of resentment and negative emotion.
Others are internally wealthy -- they have the ability to enjoy their lives, nurture healthy relationships, and exercise their creativity, but they have an unhealthy relationship with money, and what it means to meaningfully contribute to society, so they struggle & hide away, or get stuck simply making ends meet... and the world is poorer for it.
Join me, Betty Cottam Bertels, hypnotherapist, life coach, Tantric Buddhist yogini, mum of two, and cheerleader to the brave visionaries, whose courage and creative ways of thinking and being will change our world for the better... as I engage in conversations with the people whose passions and life journeys have in some way inspired me and touched my heart, to bring you thought-provoking, inspiring, and more often then not laughter-filled conversations to bring a little joy to your world, and a little fuel for your inner hearth fire.
May you discover your own unique brilliance, give and receive freely... and may your inner hearth fire brighten up the path to knowing your own true wealth, so that you might inspire the same in others -- even if in only your little corner of the world.
May all beings be happy and free! ✨☀️✨

Practising Cultural Dignity in an 'Antibiotic' Mainstream Society w/Tad Hargrave
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Tad Hargrave shares his profound insights on culture making – the practice of enriching our communities by honoring life transitions and creating meaningful ceremonies that acknowledge our significance to one another.
• Culture making addresses collective problems rather than seeking individual solutions
• The Orphan Wisdom School provided Tad with a taste of what culture could be – beauty, ceremony, and acknowledging what matters
• Most problems are not personal but collective in nature
• Creating ceremonies for farewells helps people know they mattered and had consequence
• Even failed attempts at culture making keep "the scent" of it alive for future generations
• Small acts like thoughtful toasts, intentional gift-giving, and slowing down important moments can create cultural richness
• The focus shifts from consumption to contribution – asking "what can I bring?" rather than "what can I get?"
• Traditional cultures contained deep stories behind everyday objects, creating meaning and connection
• Being willing to try cultural interventions, even imperfectly, gives others permission to do the same
• We don't need to wait until we need each other for survival to begin practicing village-mindedness
