You Don't Know What You Don't Know...: Scarcity Mindset & Mental Health

By Joycelyn Johnson

This book aims to explore, educate, and empower. Through an in-depth look at the psychology of scarcity, its generational and societal roots, and its impact on mental well-being, we will uncover ways to recognize and challenge scarcity-driven thinking. Readers will gain insight into how to shift toward an abundance mindset, develop financial resilience, and cultivate healthier emotional and psychological patterns. By understanding the ways scarcity thinking shapes our lives, we can begin to reclaim agency, build supportive communities, and ultimately move toward a life of greater stability, opportunity, and emotional freedom.

Breaking Free is not just about financial education; it is about psychological liberation. The journey ahead will involve self-reflection, strategic shifts in thinking, and practical steps toward change. Whether you have personally experienced financial hardship, grew up with scarcity thinking, or want to break generational cycles of poverty, this book offers the tools and insights needed to move forward with hope, confidence, and empowerment.
