The Sensitivity Doctor

From Scarcity to Abundance: Shifting from Fear to Freedom with DPAK

Episode Summary

In this expansive and refreshingly honest conversation, Dr. Amelia Kelley welcomes back multidisciplinary artist and speaker DPAK for a deeper exploration of what it means to live from abundance. Together, they unpack how scarcity mindset shows up not just in our finances, but in our creativity, time, relationships, and even our breath. With humour, vulnerability, and real-world examples, DPAK breaks down how scarcity thinking is often rooted in fear, tension, and disconnection from self. From FOMO to comparison, overcommitment to creative paralysis, this conversation offers tangible ways to shift out of lack and into trust—even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Whether you're feeling stretched too thin, stuck in comparison, or struggling to say no, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and equipped with simple tools to return to presence, purpose, and possibility.

Episode Notes

Key takeaways:

• Scarcity mindset isn’t just about money—it shows up as fear, urgency, tension, and a lack of trust in yourself and life.
• Your body knows before your brain does—watch for breath-holding and tightness as early signs of scarcity thinking.
• FOMO can hijack your decision-making. Learn to listen for the “expansive yes” instead of defaulting to “I should.”
• Creativity and comparison don’t mix. When you’re stuck in scarcity, your brain literally can’t access creative flow.
• Celebrate others' success as evidence of what’s possible, not proof you’re behind.
• Boundaries and micro-declines (“not now” instead of “never”) are powerful ways to honour your time and energy.
• Scarcity in relationships can lead to staying too long, settling, or losing yourself. Abundance says: “I am enough, even alone.”
• Scarcity also drives behaviours like emotional eating, people-pleasing, and burnout—awareness is the first step to change.
• Shift your framework from “I have to” to “I get to.” Same action, new energy.
