The Scarcity Myth: Breaking the “Never Enough” Mindset After Reentry

Scarcity is more than a lack of money or opportunity—it’s a mindset shaped by survival, systems, and lived experience.

In this episode of The Conviction Fiction Podcast, we explore how scarcity thinking impacts justice-impacted people, returning citizens, and their families long after release. From zero-sum thinking to survival mode decision-making, we unpack how internalized limitation quietly sabotages growth.

You’ll hear:

• Why reentry conditions reinforce scarcity thinking

• How zero-sum beliefs limit creativity, collaboration, and long-term stability

• Practical strategies for cultivating abundance through consistency

• Why mindset alone isn’t enough—and what actually works

• How abundance benefits not just individuals, but families and communities

This episode is for anyone rebuilding their life who’s tired of being told to “just think positive” and ready for strategies that respect how hard the work really is.

Abundance doesn’t erase your past—it redeems it.

And as the Conviction Fiction platform continues to grow, everything we create—from conversations to merchandise—is designed to reflect that same evolution. Growth is ongoing. Progress compounds.
