Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Scale Your Joy

What if you woke up and realized that you had been striving for weeks, months, and even decades to create a life that you didn’t even want? What would you do? How would you feel?
I want to challenge you to think about what you really value.
For some of us, this year was an opportunity to clean house and remove the many distractions that kept us from pursuing purpose. For others, this year helped us realize that we can find peace and joy with the things and gifts that we already have.
You and I have not only survived 2020, but together we redefined wealth, success, and happiness. This past year has taught all of us so much more about what really matters to self and I want to invite you to not just look toward 2021 in expectancy, but create what you say you want for yourself.
Do you need to set more boundaries or remove relationships that deplete you? Do you need to scale back and downsize to give you more space and clarity? What do you really value? In this episode, I want to help you reevaluate what you value and figure out what truly brings you joy.
Key discussion points include:
The Blessing Of Downsizing - 05:31
What Do You Want For Your Life? - 13:59
What Brings You The Most Joy? - 18:06
I believe my part in your life is to shift and help transform you to truly pursue your God-given purpose and only do things that are in alignment with who you are and what you’ve been called to do.

Dr. Angela Anderson: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

We’re wrapping up the Created for Purpose challenge this week in the Redefining Wealth Facebook Group and while over 3,000 women joined in to learn how to show up authentically in the marketplace, I’ve recognized a common theme holding many back: Imposter Syndrome.  
It’s that feeling that even though you are well equipped, you are still some how not worthy enough to have a seat at the table and sit there in peace.
For some of us, it manifests itself by not pursuing opportunities we are beyond qualified for. For others like me, it may show up as overworking and over preparing to prove that you do, in fact, belong.
If these ideas mildly resonate with you, you are in for a breakthrough with this episode because I’ve brought in a woman who is brilliant in helping women overcome imposter syndrome.
Dr. Angela Anderson is the US Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Strategy and Operations at Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation, as well as, internationally certified as an executive coach, master speaker and trainer. She specializes in providing training around the world on topics such as leadership, influence, motivation, culture, communication, conflict resolution, team dynamics, and much more. She co-hosts the podcast, Just Be Real Sis, established to have real conversations on issues that have historically been difficult to discuss. To learn more: https://www.drangelaspeaks.com/

REWIND: Gratitude, Giving + Genuine Abundance

This year has shown us that with all of the negativity in the world, we have to fight to maintain an attitude of gratitude. Many of us understand the strong connection between wealth, gratitude and giving, but for those who don’t know, the concept is simple: the more you give, the more you receive.
This is why I believe we all need to focus on giving in this season because giving activates abundance. Our attitude toward gratitude and giving will determine whether we will reach the abundance we desire and it will show us whether or not we’re mentally and spiritually prepared to maintain it.
In this rewind episode, although recorded three years ago, the message resonates with our current state in 2020. After re-listening to this episode and checking myself, I believe it serves as a gentle reminder to extend grace to both ourselves and others, to fight for our gratitude when times seem tough and to move through this world as great, grateful and cheerful givers.
Key discussion points from this episode include:
How Gratitude & Giving Connect To Abundance - 7:35
Check Your Spirit Of Gratitude - 14:40
Becoming A Cheerful Giver - 19:13

In her book, From Pain to Purpose, Dr. Vernell shares her story of transformation, self-discovery, self-realization, resiliency, and discovering her God-led purpose as she battled with emotional turmoil, limiting beliefs, financial difficulties, and in the end, an abundance of joy.  From Pain to Purpose is about revelation, reclamation, and how God used her painful divorce to propel her towards becoming her best version.

Gurpreet Kaur: Remember to Say Thank You

Welcome to day four of our week-long celebration of National Entrepreneurship Day. While many of us try to take the journey alone, I can’t express the importance of community and support when stepping into entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur is 70% mental and 30% physical, and our thoughts, beliefs and state of mind play the most important role in building success and maintaining peace.
Both in life and in business, we all need support and someone whom we can be vulnerable with and bounce ideas off of. When we try to do it alone, we allow doubt and fear to step in and stop us from living our best life. Today’s guest spent years battling depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, until gratitude became the focus that pushed her out of pain and into purpose.
Gurpreet Kaur is a Mindset Transformation Coach from Northern Ireland who is on a mission to help others feel happier, more confident and in control in a world that seems ever more chaotic and filled with fear.
Diagnosed with depression at 19, Gurpreet found herself riddled with sadness and guilt as the years went by. After meeting and marrying the love of her life, she soon realized that marriage didn't magically do what she hoped it would. It didn't erase the pain, fix the relationships or suddenly make her feel like she was good enough, pretty enough or worthy enough.
Fifteen years later, Gurpreet experienced a divine interruption that took her on a journey toward forgiveness and compassion for herself and others. Now an international speaker, Gurpreet is described as “inspirational and a life changing presence” by her clients. It is her purpose to ensure that anyone she ever comes in contact with knows that there is a power that is unlocked when one has faith and gratitude.

Megan De La Concha: Trust the Process

Today we celebrate day three in our week-long extension of National Entrepreneurship Day. So far we’ve heard from two women in my signature program Purpose 2 Platform who taught us how to stop shrinking ourselves and tell our story. In this episode, we’re learning how to trust the process and our guest is a woman who took a leap of faith, fully embraced her purpose and is now able to establish generational wealth for her family.

After losing her identity, voice and self worth Megan divinely landed in therapy, where she spent 2 years of hard work rediscovering herself. Tapping into her Faith and relationship with God, Megan has since earned three Masters degrees in Public Health focusing on alternative medicine and mental health.
She's the host of the PeP. Talks with Megan De La Concha Podcast and is developing her signature course, “Ashes to Grace”, designed to empower women with confidence, resilience, and transformation through FAITH using the G.R.A.C.E. method - God, Relationships, Awareness, Care, Excellence Everyday.

Lacy Fields: Tell Your Story

In honor of National Entrepreneurship Day, we continue to celebrate the amazing entrepreneurial minded women in my community, particularly highlighting those in my signature coaching program, Purpose 2 Platform. There are so many great stories and testimonies of women who have used their trials to propel them into their purpose.
 
When women show up and support each other, it’s incredible to watch them embrace sisterhood and help each other climb. Today is the second day of entrepreneurial greatness, and our guest is a purpose chaser who not only transformed the lives of the women in the Purpose 2 Platform program, but she utilizes her strengths and superpowers to help purpose driven women create transformational courses using their story.
 
Teen mom turned Course Mentor, Lacy Fields, created her award-winning mentoring program, U Go Girl, 10 years ago in her basement. After years of mentoring teen girls, designing youth curriculum and helping other women do the same, Lacy is now using her curriculum design skills to help purpose driven women create transformational courses using their story.
 
Equipped with her own story of triumphing over trauma, Lacy has not let her past stand in her way. Earning degrees and certificates in the fields of marketing, human services, coaching, holistic therapies, and presently clinical Mental Health, Lacy is more than prepared to complete her mission of helping women use their expertise to provide value in the marketplace.

Evelyn LeVasseur: No More Shrinking

There are so many national days of celebration, but I recently learned that November 17th is National Entrepreneurs Day. This day is centered around highlighting and celebrating entrepreneurship throughout the country and sharing the stories of those who took a leap of faith, endured the challenges and trials of building a business, and designed their ideal lifestyle.
The work pillar is all about living your life’s purpose and getting the clarity needed to execute successfully. My main focus is to help people earn more without feeling like they have to chase, and I’ve watched countless women transform their lives and others by becoming entrepreneurs. For this reason, I found it necessary to turn National Entrepreneurs Day into a week-long celebration.
This week you can expect exclusive bonus interviews with amazing women from the recent cohort of my signature program, Purpose 2 Platform. Sharing how they gained clarity and now live purposeful lives, this week’s guest wants every woman to know that she can want to change her body, and love it at the same time.
Evelyn LeVasseur is the owner of Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness, a company that focuses on helping busy, overwhelmed moms reach their body goals without dieting or deprivation. Evelyn knows that moms can be especially hard on themselves and expect perfection: in our homes, jobs, marriages, and of course our bodies.
Most importantly, Evelyn knows that moms want what's absolutely best for their children, and having negative feelings about ourselves can lead our children to have negative feelings about themselves. So, Evelyn is sure to approach all things from the angle of knowing that our actions shape our children and the legacies of health that we leave them.
Evelyn is a certified Group and Personal Trainer, a Hormonal Fat Loss Coach, and has a B.A. in Psychology with a Masters in Education. She is dedicated to living her life to its greatest capacity and providing her daughters and all women the tools to live their greatest lives with strength, resilience, self-compassion, kindness, faith and health.

Getting Clarity: The Journey From Teacher To Entrepreneur - 05:56
Allow Yourself To Feel - 10:30
Uncovering Limiting Beliefs & Overcoming Imposter Syndrome - 14:14
The Power Of A Strong Community - 16:58

Alexandra Elle: After The Rain

How many times have you allowed validation from others to determine your self-worth? How many times have your decisions been based on what someone else thought was best for you?
I’ve met so many Purpose Chasers who have accepted the choices and opinions of others as validation regarding how they live their lives. Placing limiting beliefs on themselves and refusing to claim their power, I’ve watched purpose driven women use fear from past hurts to prevent them from walking into what they’re truly purposed to do.
It’s time to detach our identity from others and discover our own self-worth. It’s also time to learn how to heal from within and lean into the power that you are your own validation. Today’s guest is here to show us how to heal, after the rain.
Alexandra Elle is an author and wellness consultant who found healing through journaling. She teaches workshops and retreats that assist others in finding their voices through storytelling, poetry, and narrative writing rooted in truth without shame.
In her new book, After the rain, Alexandra releases a moving collection of essays that help to rebuild self-worth by tearing down limiting beliefs, dispelling imposter syndrome, and removing toxic relationships.
Writing multiple books and journals, most recently After the Rain, Neon Soul, and Today I Affirm: A Journal That Nurtures Self-Care, Alexandra Elle is on a mission to build community & self-care practices through literature & language. She is currently an author at Chronicle Books and the host of the “hey, girl.” podcast.
Key discussion points from this episode include:
Change: The Journey To Self-Discovery - 6:54
Creating Space For Motherhood - 14:05
Mending Parental Relationships - 19:12
Time: Lessons Learned From Absent Fathers - 24:52
Validation: Lessons Learned From Situationships - 30:28
Love: Learning How To Let Others Love You - 36:55
