Ep 7: How a Simple Ritual Became the First Step Toward a Life by Design

Molly Smith Season 1 Episode 7

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs begin with the smallest actions.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my dear friend and money-energy mentor Lena Khais, whose story reminds us that you don’t have to change everything to change your life. After decades in corporate leadership, Lena found herself in what she now calls the funk—overworked, disconnected, and running on autopilot.

Her wake-up call came in the most unexpected way: through the honest words of her five-year-old daughter. That single moment sparked a shift that started with one simple ritual—a family dinner—and became the foundation for rebuilding her life by design.

We talk about:

  • How busyness can disguise the funk
  • The power of one small, consistent action
  • Creating micro-pivots that lead to lasting alignment
  • Why you don’t have to burn it all down to create change

If you’ve ever felt caught between success and satisfaction, this conversation will remind you that transformation doesn’t start with a massive overhaul—it starts with one intentional step.
