Last week, a mom shared how my Connection Program made a difference in her life — and her baby's! 🥰

Here’s the story:
Her baby was getting a vaccine and started to cry (as babies do). Naturally, she wanted to soothe him. But the nurse said: “No, don’t do that. If you soothe him when he cries, he’ll manipulate you and use his crying for attention.” 😔

Thankfully, this mom had learned through my program that a baby is not capable of manipulation.

Why? Manipulation requires a well-developed prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for complex thought. Babies don’t have the capacity to think: “If I cry, Mom will give me attention.”

All your baby knows is this:
💡 “When Mommy or Daddy is close, I am safe.” 💡

So go ahead: soothe your baby, hold them close, and love them fully. Babies don’t need to be “toughened up” — they need connection, care, and love. ❤️

You can’t spoil a baby with love. You can only make them feel safer in a big, overwhelming world. 🌍

Have you ever been told to hold back on soothing your child? How did it feel? Let’s start a conversation below. ⬇️

We often hear "Health is wealth," but let’s challenge that idea for a moment…

👉 Are you guaranteed to be wealthy if you are healthy?
❌ No, being healthy doesn’t automatically make you wealthy. There are plenty of fit, emotionally strong, and spiritually grounded people who still struggle financially. Wealth requires strategy, knowledge, and action.

👉 If you are healthy, do you have a higher chance of being wealthy?
✅ Yes! When you’re physically, emotionally, and mentally well, you’re more likely to make better decisions, stay disciplined, and take advantage of opportunities. Health is an advantage—but not a guarantee.

So, what do you think?
🔹 Has your health ever impacted your finances—positively or negatively?
🔹 Do you think financial success is more about strategy or state of mind?
