The Good Fortune Show, September 25, 2026
The Good Fortune Show with Sugandhi Iyer Guarding Good Fortune, Prepaving the Future, and the Power of Appreciation Sugandhi Iyer explains why staying immersed in luxury guards a person's abundance, walks listeners through her own practice of prepaving a desired future, and closes the hour with Law of Attraction cards on relationships and appreciation. Guarding Good Fortune Around Poverty and Wealth Sugandhi Iyer opens The Good Fortune Show by challenging a friend's claim that helping the poor spreads abundance to the helper. She points to Mother Teresa, noting what she read online, that despite dedicating her life to the poor, Mother Teresa herself lived without abundance and asked her missionary colleagues to live frugally too. Iyer argues that repeatedly seeking out lack in order to help it actually plants more lack in a person's aura, and cites actress Katrina Kaif, whose mother she says works among the poor in India and lives without electricity by choice. Kindness itself is good, Iyer says, but constantly immersing oneself in poverty erodes one's own field of abundance. She insists the Law of Attraction either works completely or not at all, and urges listeners guarding their own good fortune to stay surrounded by luxury the way cruise ships and calm oceans keep her, and fish, thriving in the right water. Small Signs Of Manifestation Iyer shares a personal example of manifestation: after struggling to find paperback copies of an author her mother likes, she checks again and discovers every title has suddenly become available, orders four, and credits it to alignment even while admitting sellers may simply have restocked. She warns against staying drawn to work, like social work, that keeps a person surrounded by hardship, saying such an intention only attracts more people in need rather than helping society. She reads a Law of Attraction card urging listeners to prioritize their intentions, explaining that whichever intention a person gives singular attention to receives more power, so choosing luxury and wellbeing over need pulls more of that reality forward. She describes chandeliers, gilded palace fixtures, and five-star hotel decor as visible trappings of wealth worth surrounding oneself with, and promises the universe supplies the means once an intention for a better life is set. Prepaving A Path Back To India Iyer introduces another card from the Esther and Jerry Hicks Law of Attraction deck, Within 60 Days It Can Be Mine, explaining its idea of prepaving: giving sustained thought to a near future until it becomes the present. She illustrates this with her own life, describing years spent immersed in American energy in Las Vegas, rarely visiting India while her siblings went every year. She says she deliberately began prepaving a return by seeking out Indian faces and Indian features around her instead of the Moroccan and European ones she mostly encountered, and within months found herself living in India. She adds a lighter aside about the traditional, wax-free way Indian beauticians shape eyebrows. Having arrived, she says she now must prepave the opposite journey, back toward Western faces and American surroundings, to eventually return to the United States, treating the process as something to be renewed for each new direction. Rewriting The Story In Relationships Iyer reads a card on relationships instructing listeners to focus on the points of harmony rather than disagreement, since dwelling on what is disliked pulls more of it in by the same magnetic law. She works through an imagined scenario of a listener missing her because she is traveling, showing how repeating she's not here only reinforces absence, whereas noticing that the show and phone calls are still available reframes the situation. She extends the idea to a workplace crush, describing a man who seems to greet everyone but the woman who likes him, sometimes even changing direction to avoid the elevator she is exiting. Iyer warns against settling into a victim story, he ignores me, and instead encourages listeners to notice him nearby every day and treat that presence itself as evidence the relationship is progressing rather than proof of rejection. Giving The Story A Better Spin Building on the relationship card, Iyer tells listeners they are the authors of their own story and must give it a spin that works in their favor. Rather than concluding a quiet coworker is uninterested, she suggests imagining he is simply shy and tongue-tied, gradually working up the courage to speak, comparing the fear to the Asterix and Obelix characters who worried the sky would fall on their heads. She warns against the opposite spin, imagining him as a flirt who pursues everyone else, saying that story becomes a pattern that repeats with the next man and the next. She walks through small stages of an office relationship, sharing coffee in the break room, exchanging a hello, arguing that each stage should be narrated as progress. Real hesitation, she says, usually traces back to a man's own fear of approaching someone he genuinely likes. Appreciation, Essence, And Signing Off Closing the hour, Iyer reads a further Hicks card, My Appreciation Of It Attracts Its Essence To Me, explaining that pondering what one appreciates about a partner, a piece of work, or an unfinished project functions as a creative workshop. She connects this appreciation to what she calls the emotional guidance scale, describing it as a kind of technology built from the five senses, imagination, and intuition, adding that anyone missing a strong intuitive sense can consult a psychic instead. Iyer contrasts people who dwell on not feeling good, and so create more of it, with those who deliberately practice appreciation to shape what comes next. She signs off wishing listeners a fantastic rest of the week and points them toward the following Joyful Manifestation show at seven o'clock Pacific time, closing The Good Fortune Show until the next broadcast.
