“And you know, maybe for me to characterize it as a fall is a false interpretation of what happened here. I think if you're only looking at, see, I'm buying into when you have the eight pairs of Monola Blanix at one time and you're living in Newton's cottage that that is success. True success is the feeling of reward and self-respect that you feel for yourself. And so perhaps even in that moment where it looked like wasn't real, so this is even closer to what the truth is for you.”

“Do you feel, I mean, I often think this too I do think that the universe, I see everything as a life class. I see that this earth school is a school and we're all constantly learning. But I also wake up some days and say, Jesus, don't teach me nothing today because I have learned enough in the past. Don't teach me no more lessons this week. Just let me learn. I can still make it on last week's lesson. This is a hard price to pay. Come to peace in plenty. A hard price to it was a hard fall, was it not?”

“You know, that famous line from Scarlett O'Hara Tomorrow is another day. And I often say tomorrow is another day, Scarlett. We can try it again.

“It doesn't feel to me that it's about the money. The money is a metaphor and always a metaphor. Your true worth. And to me, you handled the money. As you saw yourself. So in the moment that you saw yourself, you know, the Monolo Blanics self. And then with a chapel, that that was an idea that you had about your worth and your value. But it wasn't. The truth of what you're worth and your value are. The money. And the acquisition of the money was all about, was a metaphor for worth.”

“I'm not going to be hit, but you would allow yourself to be demeaned in other ways. You know, I figured that out in my 20s. You had already been through a difficult divorce a couple times. So I'm surprised that the fact that you had all this, and I think that's really the real lesson for everybody, that even though you had all of the trappings of success and you look like it and you walked like it and that click of your Manolo Blanics on the pavement said, I am successful that still somewhere inside you must have not felt that. In an authentic, pure way, in order to put up with somebody berating you.”

But I think all of us make compromises. I remember in my 20s being in a relationship with someone who didn't hit me and that was my that's my because if you ever hit me”

“Oh my goodness. This I love on page 303, you say when I would bring up the subject of money, he would berate me for not earning more, yell at me for all the spending I did before he arrived on the scene, and behave like an emotional bully. In his eyes I was a loser and a has been. How could you allow yourself, and I ask this not in judgment, Because I'm sure you've asked yourself this. There's nothing I can say to you you haven't already said to yourself. Okay, so how could you allow yourself to be berated? money that you had earned.”

“This is what I love that you were honest enough to say in peace and plenty, what right do I have to be giving other women advice on how to live their lives when I've messed up mine so completely? I feel myself shrinking inside, becoming very shy and small, the incredible withering woman. How did I get here? How will I ever get back to financial sanity and serenity?

“your mind. And I would say, you know, I'd been a person who practiced gratitude and what simple abundance did for me is to ritualize, to bring into my life on a daily basis the experience of practicing gratitude. But it's really difficult, I think, when not just money, but real wealth hits and you were not prepared for it, even though everybody who's watching us right now would love to win the lottery and everybody says you want it when it comes, you have to really be ready for it.

So I wonder, does that happen to you with the entire experience of simple abundance from the moment you got the phone call from one of our producers? Because my experience is everywhere I looked, I shared this on TV the very first time I interviewed, everywhere I looked walking through the offices, I would see that little pink book. And after a while I'd say, what is it with the pink book? The pink book just keeps showing up. That was intentional, right?”

“Even Sir Isaac Newton's chapel became her private writing studio. But then her simple life became extremely complicated. The money began to dwindle, a result Sarah says of wild spending, bad investments, and a costly divorce. Three years ago, Sarah found herself on her sister's doorstep with nothing but a suitcase and her beloved cat Mikey. This was not the way anyone had expected Sarah's story to turn out. I invited her to Chicago to talk about everything, to find out what she gained by losing it all. So it feels like a blur to me that whole experience of the Oprah Winfrey Show from certainly in the early 90s until almost the end, it feels like, whoa, and only when I can look back at tapes that I think, and even in the process of putting”

“I'm Oprah Winfrey. Welcome to Super Soul Conversations, the podcast. I believe that one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself is time, taking time to be more fully present. Your journey to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now. Sarah Bonbranik was a freelance writer living paycheck to paycheck before writing Simple Abundance. That pink book became one of my favorite things. Inspiring me and millions of other women to find gratitude in every moment. More than two years on the New York Times bestseller list made Sarah a publishing superstar, and she was so trading six figure royalty checks for trips on the Concorde, Marilyn Monroe's fur coats, designer shoes in every color.”
