✨ About This Season: Redefining Love 2.0
This season we’re exploring what it looks like to love without leaving yourself behind — through relationships, self-trust, reciprocity, obedience, and the Six Pillars of Wealth. Subscribe and journey with us as we learn to love without self-abandonment and honor who we are becoming.
Episode Summary
In this special episode, Patrice Washington sits down with the faculty of the Institute for Redefining Wealth—Master Coach Marsha-Ann Donaldson, Money Pillar Coach Tricia Daniel, Work Pillar Coach Nicole Rhone, Faith Pillar Coach Tonya Bailey Jones, and People Pillar Coach Evelyn LeVasseur—to explore what happens when the person who has always been “the strong one” finally allows herself to receive support. Together, they unpack why knowing something needs to change isn’t always enough—and how having a safe space to speak honestly, use your voice, and receive support can help move you from hesitation into aligned action.
Through the Six Pillars of Wealth, the coaches share what becomes possible when women stop carrying everything alone and begin trusting themselves enough to say, “I’m no longer available for that.” This conversation is a reminder that accepting support doesn’t make you less capable—it creates room to build a life where your work, relationships, faith, finances, and well-being can thrive together.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Where do I already know something needs to change but keep talking myself out of taking action?
Have I confused being “the strong one” with who I am rather than a role I learned to play?
Where am I afraid to use my voice because I might disappoint or be misunderstood by someone else?
What would become possible if I allowed myself to receive the same support I consistently give others?
What is one truth I already know that I’m ready to finally do something about?

This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to redefining what love really means — beyond romance and into how we love ourselves, others, God, and the lives we’re creating.
We’re exploring what it looks like to love without leaving yourself behind — through relationships, self-trust, reciprocity, obedience, and the Six Pillars of Wealth. Subscribe and journey with us as we learn to love without self-abandonment and honor who we are becoming.
Episode Summary
In this solo episode, Patrice Washington explores the silent agreements that quietly create resentment in our relationships, friendships, families, and workplaces. These agreements happen when we consistently participate in dynamics we don’t actually want—saying yes when we mean no, carrying responsibilities we resent, giving more than we want to give, or expecting others to understand needs we’ve never clearly communicated. Patrice challenges us to stop asking, “Why do they keep doing this to me?” and instead consider a more revealing question: What have I taught them works for me?
Patrice shares how to replace silent agreements with solid agreements built on clarity, consent, capacity, and consistency—with consequences when necessary. The goal isn’t to control someone else’s response; it’s to communicate honestly, observe what they actually have the capacity to give, and use that information to make aligned decisions. Because redefining love requires us to stop expecting people to honor agreements they never made—and stop saying yes with our behavior when everything inside of us is saying no.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Where am I feeling resentment because of an expectation I’ve never clearly communicated?
What have my actions taught someone else is acceptable or sustainable for me?
Where am I expecting someone to “just know” what I need instead of asking for it?
What responsibility did I pick up temporarily that has quietly become permanent?
What would a solid agreement rooted in clarity, consent, capacity, and consistency look like here?

Episode Summary
In this powerful solo episode, Patrice Washington breaks down seven ways self-abandonment can hide behind qualities we normally celebrate. Being understanding can become explaining away behavior you already know doesn’t work for you. Responsibility can turn into carrying what was never yours. Generosity can become constantly paying the difference, while flexibility and loyalty can keep you betraying your own standards or staying beyond a season’s expiration date. Patrice reminds us that self-abandonment doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can look polished, accomplished, capable, and incredibly successful.
Through the lens of Redefining Love 2.0, Patrice challenges listeners to examine when their greatest strengths—compassion, responsibility, generosity, flexibility, loyalty, ambition, and faith—stop serving them and start becoming tools for self-betrayal. From over-functioning for others to chasing someone else’s definition of success or continuing to pray for clarity God may have already provided, this episode invites you to recognize the patterns hiding in plain sight. The question to carry forward is simple but powerful: Am I doing this from love, or am I doing this at the expense of myself?
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Where am I using understanding or compassion to explain away something I already know doesn’t work for me?
What am I carrying simply because I’m capable, even though it isn’t actually my responsibility?
Where am I giving so much that generosity has started turning into resentment?
What governing decision or standard have I been abandoning in the name of flexibility or loyalty?
Where might I already have clarity but be waiting for more signs because I’m afraid of what acting on it will require?

Episode Summary
Welcome back, Purpose Chasers! After a 10-week summer break, Patrice returns to the Redefining Wealth podcast with the foundation for a brand-new season: Redefining Love 2.0. This season begins with a powerful truth—love should never require you to leave yourself. Patrice explores how easily self-abandonment can disguise itself as sacrifice, loyalty, keeping the peace, or even faith, and challenges us to redefine love in a way that allows us to remain honest, whole, and connected to who we are becoming.
Building on last season’s conversations about alignment, Patrice introduces what it means to move when life gives you a “pebble” instead of waiting for the rock or boulder. Throughout this season, she’ll explore love far beyond romance—from relationships, reciprocity, and governing decisions to how we care for our bodies, steward our money, honor our capacity, pursue our purpose, and trust God enough to release what no longer belongs. This is an invitation to love yourself enough to keep meeting who you are now—and to build a life that supports that version of you.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Where have I been calling self-abandonment love, loyalty, or sacrifice?
What “pebble” have I already heard but haven’t trusted myself enough to honor?
What do I genuinely want now, apart from what I wanted years ago or what others expect of me?
Where am I over-giving, shrinking, staying silent, or abandoning myself to keep the peace?
What would it look like to love others deeply without leaving myself behind?

What real community and safety make possible when you're a high achiever who can never take the mask off.
How alignment shows up in every pillar — from money to health to faith.
Why breakthrough is an event, but becoming is a practice.

This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to unpacking what alignment really means — not as a buzzword, but as structure.

Episode Summary
In this season finale, Patrice reflects on one of the most powerful lessons from the Anatomy of Alignment series: the difference between the price of change and the cost of staying the same. While many people fear the discomfort, grief, uncertainty, or inconvenience that comes with making aligned decisions, Patrice challenges listeners to consider the long-term cost of remaining in situations, relationships, habits, and environments that no longer support who they’re becoming. Through personal stories about her health, relationships, home, and recent life transitions, she reveals how misalignment quietly taxes our energy, peace, and potential over time.
Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to stop calculating only the immediate price of change and start honestly evaluating the hidden cost of staying the same. Patrice reminds us that alignment often requires temporary discomfort, but misalignment can create years of emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial drain. As she closes out the season, she encourages listeners to embrace the work of alignment, trust the vision they’ve been given, and choose the version of life that reflects who they are becoming rather than who they used to be.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
What am I avoiding because I’m focused on the price instead of the cost?
Where in my life am I paying a long-term price for staying the same?
What relationship, habit, environment, or commitment no longer aligns with who I’m becoming?
What would become possible if I stopped negotiating with misalignment?
Am I willing to experience temporary discomfort in exchange for lasting alignment?

Episode Summary
In this powerful conversation, Patrice Washington sits down with Jay Papasan, co-author of the bestselling book The One Thing, to explore why so many people feel overwhelmed, distracted, and disconnected from the lives they truly want. Together, they unpack the idea that success is not created by doing more—it’s created by identifying what matters most and aligning your time, energy, and attention around it. Rather than treating every goal, opportunity, and responsibility as equally important, Jay challenges listeners to ask a transformative question: What’s the one thing I can do that makes everything else easier or unnecessary?
Throughout the conversation, Jay and Patrice discuss the relationship between focus, alignment, habits, boundaries, and self-trust. They explore how busyness often masks avoidance, why saying “no” is essential for creating meaningful progress, and how small, consistent actions can create extraordinary results over time. Whether you're navigating a new season of life, struggling with competing priorities, or trying to reconnect with your vision, this episode offers a practical framework for creating momentum and building a life that supports what matters most.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else would be easier or unnecessary?
Where am I trying to give everything equal importance instead of choosing a true priority?
What distractions, commitments, or expectations are competing with my vision?
Am I building habits that support the life I say I want?

Episode Summary
In this powerful solo episode, Patrice Washington asks a question that many high-achieving people avoid: Is your life actually aligned for the wealth you say you want? Building on last week’s conversation about the grief that can accompany choosing alignment, Patrice explores how many of us have spent years pursuing visions that were never truly ours—careers, relationships, lifestyles, and definitions of success shaped by outside expectations rather than inner truth. Through her signature Six Pillars of Wealth framework, she reveals how misalignment in our health, relationships, environment, faith, work, and finances can quietly pull us away from the life we genuinely desire.
Patrice challenges listeners to stop living by default and start living by design. She introduces the concept of an Ignited Aligned Vision—a vision so deeply rooted in who you are that setbacks, heartbreak, and losses cannot shake your commitment to it. When your identity is supported across all six pillars instead of resting on a single relationship, title, or achievement, you can experience change without losing yourself. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that true wealth is not just about money—it’s about building a life so aligned that it can sustain you through every season while moving you closer to the vision that was meant for you.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Is the vision I’m pursuing genuinely mine, or was it handed to me by someone else?
Which pillar of wealth is carrying too much of my identity right now?
What areas of my life are currently out of alignment with what I say I want?
Where have I been living by default instead of by design?
What would need to change for my life to fully support the wealth I desire?

Episode Summary
In today’s episode, we explore the grief that can accompany alignment. Reflecting on a transformative week in Mexico, Patrice shares what happens when choosing yourself is the right decision—but still breaks your heart. Through vulnerable storytelling, she unpacks the emotions that surfaced after releasing something she genuinely loved and reminds listeners that growth often requires grieving what no longer fits.
Patrice challenges the tendency to romanticize the past and offers practical ways to navigate difficult transitions, including creating a “truth list” and reassigning meaning to endings. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that grief is not proof you made the wrong choice—it’s often proof that something mattered. Alignment may come with loss, but it also creates space for a life rooted in purpose, truth, and self-trust.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
What am I grieving right now, even though I know I made the right decision?
Have I been intellectualizing my emotions instead of actually feeling them?
What truths am I overlooking because I’m romanticizing the past?
Where have I mistaken grief as evidence that I should go back?
How can I reassign meaning to this season instead of labeling it a failure?
What would it look like to trust myself more deeply in this next chapter?
