Transcript
- 0:08Suze: April 5th, 2026. Welcome everybody to the Women and Money
- 0:13Suze: podcast as well as everybody smart enough to listen. And
- 0:18Suze: today is Suze School, but you know what else today is?
- 0:22Suze: It's Easter. Happy Easter, everybody. It's also still Passover, so
- 0:27Suze: happy Passover as well. And I find it very hard
- 0:32Suze: on days like this when religion seemed to merge into one,
- 0:38Suze: to just talk about money and the lessons of money,
- 0:42Suze: but the truth of the matter is the lessons of
- 0:45Suze: money are really also the lessons of your life.
- 0:49Suze: I've always said to you that you and your money
- 0:53Suze: are one, and if something is going wrong with your money,
- 0:57Suze: it's because something's going wrong within you, just that simple.
- 1:04Suze: But I find myself being very introspective today.
- 1:08Suze: Because this world is a very, very difficult and changing place,
- 1:14Suze: no matter where you live. I've always said that if
- 1:20Suze: America sneezes, the world catches a cold.
- 1:23Suze: And in essence, that's exactly what's happening.
- 1:28Suze: There's just one theme, that I think at times like this.
- 1:35Suze: That every one of us really needs to firmly embrace
- 1:40Suze: and find a way to believe in it, and I've
- 1:44Suze: talked about this theme before.
- 1:46Suze: And the theme is you have to have faith that
- 1:51Suze: everything happens for the best. I know, I know.
- 1:55Suze: It's very difficult at times like this to believe that.
- 1:59Suze: How is that possible, Suze? Look at what's happening in Minneapolis.
- 2:03Suze: Look at what's happening in Iran and now in Abu
- 2:06Suze: Dhabi and now everywhere. Look at everything that's happening in
- 2:10Suze: the world. How can you say that, Suze Orman?
- 2:14Suze: Is there another choice, everybody?
- 2:17Suze: Is there really another choice, because when you lose faith,
- 2:24Suze: you've lost everything.
- 2:26Suze: Money doesn't matter. People don't matter. You don't matter.
- 2:33Suze: You become empty.
- 2:35Suze: And really the goal of life is to be an
- 2:40Suze: empty vessel but to be filled in my opinion, with
- 2:43Suze: God's grace. And yes, I believe in God so much
- 2:48Suze: you have no idea.
- 2:50Suze: Now I'm not asking all of you or any of
- 2:52Suze: you to believe in God, but I am asking you
- 2:55Suze: to believe in yourselves, to have faith that everything happens
- 3:01Suze: for the best and that you are a warrior and
- 3:05Suze: you are not going to turn your back on the battlefield.
- 3:08Suze: It is important that you always talk about or you
- 3:11Suze: speak the words of what you're really feeling, that you
- 3:14Suze: stand in your truth. You don't pretend to be happy
- 3:17Suze: when you're sad. You don't pretend like everything's fine and
- 3:22Suze: it's gonna be OK and this airy fairy stuff that
- 3:25Suze: so many people do when it's really not.
- 3:28Suze: But what you have to do is have faith in
- 3:32Suze: who you are and what you can do to make
- 3:36Suze: your life the best life possible.
- 3:40Suze: And the way that you do that, honest to God.
- 3:45Suze: It is to have your thoughts, your words, and your
- 3:49Suze: actions be one.
- 3:52Suze: It's not OK for you to think I'm going to
- 3:55Suze: be happy, to say to everybody, I'm going to be happy,
- 3:58Suze: and yet do absolutely nothing to make yourself happy. Your thoughts,
- 4:06Suze: your words, and your actions have got to be one.
- 4:12Suze: You have to stand in your truth, but you not
- 4:16Suze: only have to stand in your truth, today, you have
- 4:20Suze: to voice your truth.
- 4:23Suze: Cause I really think that one of the reasons that
- 4:26Suze: many of you are unhappy, you don't know what to do,
- 4:30Suze: whatever it may be.
- 4:32Suze: You don't say that what you are thinking.
- 4:36Suze: You don't do that which you are feeling.
- 4:40Suze: And therefore you have rendered yourself powerless.
- 4:45Suze: When I say have faith, everything happens for the best.
- 4:51Suze: I want you to have faith in yourself.
- 4:54Suze: I want you to take actions that are the best
- 4:58Suze: actions for you in your life at this point in time.
- 5:04Suze: I want you to think great thoughts. I want you
- 5:08Suze: to say great words. I want you to do great
- 5:13Suze: actions because if you don't do those three things, you
- 5:18Suze: have no right to complain about anything else that's going
- 5:21Suze: on in this world because change starts within you.
- 5:28Suze: And you have to see your life as a blessing.
- 5:33Suze: I know I've told you this story before, but I'm
- 5:36Suze: going to tell it to you again.
- 5:38Suze: Years and years and years ago now, I was sitting
- 5:42Suze: with a teacher.
- 5:43Suze: And she said to me, Suze Orman, how do you
- 5:48Suze: deceive yourself?
- 5:50Suze: And I said, well, sometimes maybe I lie, sometimes maybe
- 5:56Suze: I don't really tell the truth. Sometimes I'm, and everything
- 6:00Suze: I said, no matter what I said.
- 6:03Suze: She looked at me, she said, nope. Nope. Nope, that's
- 6:07Suze: not it.
- 6:09Suze: And finally she decided to put me out of my
- 6:12Suze: pain and she said, Suze, you deceive yourself by thinking
- 6:17Suze: that you are not perfect.
- 6:21Suze: I want you all to take that in for a second,
- 6:24Suze: because this is a universal truth that I'm now passing
- 6:28Suze: on to all of you.
- 6:31Suze: You're perfect regardless of the clothes you wear.
- 6:36Suze: The car you drive. The home you live in.
- 6:41Suze: Your job title, the amount of money you have in
- 6:45Suze: the bank.
- 6:47Suze: No matter what's going on in your life, you are
- 6:50Suze: perfect just the way you are.
- 6:54Suze: And can you even imagine?
- 6:57Suze: That if perfection is the starting point of the soul.
- 7:03Suze: What is probable within your life?
- 7:11Suze: Yeah, think about that.
- 7:14Suze: We spend so much time thinking about all the horrific
- 7:19Suze: things that are happening. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't
- 7:21Suze: take note of them.
- 7:23Suze: That you shouldn't be aware of them.
- 7:26Suze: But you can't do anything about them until you do
- 7:29Suze: something about yourself.
- 7:33Suze: And I've always believed that you change yourself, you have
- 7:39Suze: the ability to change the world. And when I mean change,
- 7:44Suze: I mean get in touch.
- 7:46Suze: With that part of you, that joy within you.
- 7:51Suze: That warrior within you that has a desire.
- 7:56Suze: To think great thoughts, say great words, and take great actions,
- 8:02Suze: cause that really, everybody, is exactly what this world needs
- 8:08Suze: on Easter,
- 8:10Suze: on Passover and on every single day of the year
- 8:15Suze: from now until eternity.
- 8:19Suze: Years ago, I used to give a lot of talks,
- 8:24Suze: 5,000 people, 10,000 people, 50,000 people, 100,000 people.
- 8:29Suze: But every single talk I gave. I ended it the
- 8:35Suze: exact same way.
- 8:38Suze: So I want to end this podcast.
- 8:42Suze: With how I used to end every single one of
- 8:46Suze: those talks.
- 8:50Suze: Every single one of us enters this world with two wings.
- 8:55Suze: Now I'm sitting here, and I'm literally taking my arms,
- 9:00Suze: putting my fists up to like my shoulders, and I
- 9:02Suze: have two wings that I can flap, flap along with me, everybody.
- 9:08Suze: One wing, now I'm flapping my left wing.
- 9:11Suze: One wing is the wing of grace.
- 9:15Suze: That wing is flapping 24 hours a day, 7 days
- 9:20Suze: a week from now until eternity.
- 9:24Suze: The wing that you bring to this equation.
- 9:29Suze: Is the wing of self effort.
- 9:33Suze: And now I am flapping my right arm along with
- 9:37Suze: my left arm.
- 9:39Suze: That wing, when it flaps equally as hard as the
- 9:45Suze: wing of grace, then you will take flight, flight into
- 9:49Suze: the world of unlimited possibilities where anything and everything is possible.
- 9:56Suze: But you have to believe it. You have to do it.
- 10:00Suze: And most of all you have to have faith that
- 10:05Suze: everything happens for the best.
- 10:09Suze: I wish you a very happy holiday today. May every
- 10:14Suze: day be a holiday for you where you feel the joy,
- 10:19Suze: you feel God's grace, you feel hope.
- 10:23Suze: That you have the ability to make this world a
- 10:27Suze: better place. Before I sign off, I just wanna say,
- 10:32Suze: please make sure you tune in on Thursday's podcast cause
- 10:36Suze: KT and I are both revealing something.
- 10:40Suze: That we have worked on for a long, long time.
- 10:44Suze: This is not something with Alliant. This is something that
- 10:47Suze: is brand new, that every single one of you, including me, needs.
- 10:53Suze: So don't miss Thursday's podcast. But until then, there's only
- 10:58Suze: one thing that I want you to remember when it
- 11:00Suze: comes to who you are, you are perfect, just as
- 11:06Suze: you are. Now, stay safe. Bye-bye.
