Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Tai Beauchamp: You Are Beyond Ready

I see your superwoman cape flapping in the wind, but let me ask you this: Are you tired of “doing the most” and still NOT seeing the results YOU truly desire? If your answer is YESSS, then it’s time to take off the cape and come get your entire life with media personality and lifestyle expert Tai Beauchamp.
In this episode, Tai reveals exactly how you can get intentional with the way you show up so you can move with greater confidence and position yourself to make a more authentic, meaningful impact in the world.
This episode is brought to you by our complimentary Purpose Chasers community. Want to share your aha moments with a group of like-minded purpose chasers from all over the world? Visit iamapurposechaser.com and join NOW.  
About Tai Beauchamp
As an award-winning media personality and leading expert in all things fashion, beauty and style, Tai has built an incredible career as an internationally-recognized public speaker, style authority, executive producer and director.
This New Jersey native and Spelman College alum made history as Seventeen magazine’s youngest and first African American beauty and fitness director as well as founding fashion and beauty editor at O, the Oprah Magazine. Her vision has also contributed to the pages of top publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Good Housekeeping, Vibe and so many others.
Yet, even with such a high-profile career and a long list of accolades and awards, Tai says her work in entertainment does not define her. She then dropped this confidence-infused teachable moment that had me ready to throw my laptop:
“I have never been defined by what I do. I am defined by who I am and how I show up. I have never desired to be famous — it’s not what moves me. My purpose is to impact the lives of women.” – Tai Beauchamp
And that’s exactly the type of clarity and unapologetic presence you get when you know you are “beyond ready” as Tai says. But getting to that place is not easy, especially in the world we live in today.
Waiting for Validation
You see, we’re in a space where many people require validation to move forward. Now, I know “require” is a strong word, but when you look at the human attachment to likes, comments and hearts on social media, you’ll begin to recognize a lot of people are waiting for others to validate their success, purpose and even existence.
I asked Tai about her take on validation seekers and to share some insight on the powerful words she posted on her Instagram page (be sure to follow her @taibeau).
It reads as:
“When you decide you don’t need anyone’s approval to speak, to live or to be, you’ll land on a path uniquely your own that blows your own mind and surpasses anyone’s expectation.” – Tai Beauchamp
Tai believes waiting for people to validate you trips up the way you move. That’s why she urges all of us to draw from within because we’re already equipped with everything we need to live the life we want. In other words, Tai says we’re all “beyond ready,” we simply need to know how to move with intention and confidence.
This entire segment of the episode stirred my soul because how she breaks it all down is so real and transparent. Needing validation is one of those “unspeakable truths” that most people aren’t willing to admit because it requires them to first own that they’re waiting for others to validate what they want and how they live out their lives.
Finding Your Voice
From there, we rolled into a discussion on “finding your voice” and leveraging your platform in a way that is intentional and meaningful. Now, you’re simply going to have to listen to the episode to get all of the gems she dropped during our conversation, but in the meantime let me leave you with this quotable moment:
“When you find your voice, you recognize the things that don’t support your voice are not worthy of your time and your space.” – Tai Beauchamp
Beyond Ready
In this episode, Tai delivers a more in-depth explanation on how two simple words are creating a downright revolution among men and women who are ready for more AND are willing and more than happy to commit to doing the work to get it. So what exactly is “Beyond Ready”?
It’s an e-learning platform Tai created based on the premise that we’re all equipped with the internal power and drive to live our best lives. However, many lack the confidence and intentionality to fully commit to the work required to achieve the objectives they set for themselves.
Inside “Beyond Ready,” Tai teaches individuals how to not just be “ready” but to step into “beyond ready” by making the commitment, at all seasons of their lives, to intentionally unleash the confidence, drive and purpose that lies within.

Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions
And with that, let’s dig into Tai’s responses to our Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions.
Define Success:
“I don’t believe in success. I believe in continual progress. I don’t want to arrive anywhere. For me, success, as we have been trained to understand it, means, ‘to arrive somewhere’ and I want to stay on a continuum where I’m always progressing, evolving, developing, learning, loving more, giving more and receiving more.”
Define Wealth in 3 Words or Less:
“Spirituality, love and joy.”
One Book that Has Redefined How You See Wealth:
“Every book written and every program created by financial expert Dr. Lynn Richardson.”

Christine Hassler: Give Yourself Permission to Feel

This week’s episode is brought to you by Holistic Healing with Amy. To learn more about Tower Gardens, Juice Plus and ACT = Accelerated Change Templete for pinpointing mindset blocks and clearing them using kinesiology visit Holistic Healing with Amy and tell them Redefining Wealth sent you.
Christine Hassler is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, master coach, podcast and TV host committed to helping people live their highest potential. I was on her podcast Over It and On with It, and I have been binging on it ever since I started listening to it. Christine supports individuals in answering the important questions of “Who Am I, What do I want, and How do I get it?” She combines life coaching with spiritual psychology to help people find the answers to live their best lives.
Episode Summary:
In honor of our first pillar of physical and mental health, this is Mental Health Awareness Month. Christine is the perfect guest for this month. She is all about feeling your feelings, so you can get on with your best life. We talk about having compassion for yourself and allowing yourself to feel without judgement. We also talk about how we can’t change other people, but we can support them with love while we change ourselves. This conversation is packed with wit, wisdom, and real life examples of living your purpose.
CLIFF NOTES
A lot of times we think we're feeling our feelings but we actually are still suppressing them. When we do feel them, we analyze and judge them.
Be in a place of compassion with yourself. It’s okay to let it out.
When we have an emotional situation that is bigger than the situation calls for that means we are in a trigger. It's probably a big feeling that has been suppressed and not dealt with.
The only way to soothe our feelings is to feel them. The rational mind cannot soothe our feelings.
Learn to calm and soothe yourself and release the feeling that you are suppressing.
Notice your feelings. Allow yourself to feel it, and then ask what do I need. Slow down and notice your feelings.
We can support other people's healing by loving them and supporting them unconditionally and doing our own healing.

Elijah Frazier: You Can Turn This Around

Elijah Frazier is an inspiration. At one point in his life things weren’t going his way even though he changed the people around him and geographical areas. He finally came to the realization that he was the problem and knew it was time to do a 180 in his life. Now he is a successful entrepreneur, filmmaker, speaker, and author who thrives by living the purpose he was meant to live. We are so fortunate to have him here today to share his wisdom and brutal honesty.
Episode Summary:
Before we get going on today’s show, I'm going to let you know that I'll be doing an Instagram video on each of our pillars. If you are new to the show or you would like a refresher on the pillars, please be sure to follow me on Instagram. . . This is such a fun episode. Elijah drops knowledge bombs and wisdom at every turn of this show. He gives wonderful examples and has a unique perspective on how we should live our purpose and serve each other.
CLIFF NOTES
Sometimes what we think we need isn’t actually what we need.
If the same thing keeps happening in your life, you are the one who needs to be turned around.
The very moment Elijah took accountability for his actions, his life and his relationships turned around.
It’s important to take account of what is coming in to your life.
We need to be careful about what we allow into our spirit and our soul the same way we're careful about what we allow into our bodies.
If you want to be as successful as you can be, discover the purpose that was created for you.
We were chosen and born to let other people know how valuable they are.
Even if you are afraid, you can still do it. Chase after your success, not other people’s.

“Don't be surprised if the answer in your life is something completely different than what you expected.” - Elijah Frazier
“If I'm 100% honest with myself, I know I'll get to where I'm going.” - Elijah Frazier
“If the same thing keeps happening in different places, take a look in the mirror.” - Elijah Frazier

Dr. Nicole B. Washington: Functioning Doesn’t Mean Fulfilled

Dr. Nicole B. Washington is a board certified psychiatrist, speaker, author, and consultant. She helps high functioning individuals get help with issues around mental health. A large area of her focus is on physician mental health and dealing with the stigma around mental illness. She is the chief medical officer of Elocin Psychiatric Services and is passionate about corporate mental health. Dr. Nicole is the host of The C-Suite Confidant Podcast and the author of From Introspection to Action: The High-Level Professional's 28 Day Journey to Improving Mental Health.
Episode Summary:
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I am so glad to have Dr. Nicole B. Washington here to talk about how we all need to be conscious of our mental health and not be afraid to seek help when we need it. We unpack how and why high functioning individuals put so much stress on themselves and what to do about it, as well as, why you must give yourself permission to be broken and not put arbitrary rules on yourself. Dr. Nicole shares tips for focusing on the positive, celebrating achievements and what true self care routines look like.
CLIFF NOTES
After experiencing panic issues, Dr. Nicole realized that physicians and high functioning individuals didn’t always have places to go to for help.
Don’t hold yourself to unreasonably high standards and give yourself permission to be broken.
It’s important to pause and celebrate yourself and your achievements.
Be intentional about your focus and focus on the positive not the negative. Practicing gratitude can help with this.
Create a brag folder to remind yourself of the great things you have done and who you really are.
Don’t impose “should of” rules on yourself and make yourself feel guilty.
Self care is important. Do something special for yourself once a week and something more special monthly. Get sleep and outsource.
Quotes from the show:
“You have to take time for you, because if you let yourself die or let your job kill you, your position will be posted before your funeral even happens.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“None of us can have it all together all the time.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“I can't do everything. I'm not superhuman. I'm just a person.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“It's important of foster being driven, but also important to teach our kids how to rein that in.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“Be purposely intentional about focusing on the positive.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“Let it out and let it go. The key is not to hold on to that negative thing.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“Imposter syndrome is along the lines of not feeling that you're good enough or that you deserve to be on that same level as others.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
“Just because I can does not mean I should.” - Dr. Nicole B. Washington
Dr. Nicole’s Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions
Define Success:
I think success is defined as whatever goal you reach that keeps you fulfilled. Success is always changing. What I define today may be totally different a year from now, because I'm evolving and changing all the time. Set your goals. When you are fulfilled with where you are, you've reached success..

Dominique Brown: Be Radically Intentional

Dominique Brown is an entrepreneur and credit expert. He is the author of How to Fix Your Credit and the owner of the YFS Academy and Your Finances Simplified. He helps individuals and small businesses overcome their financial roadblocks that are preventing them from financial freedom. His motto is finances can be fun, and he makes everything fun. He believes becoming rich is a lifestyle choice.
Episode Summary:
April is financial literacy month, and this is the last episode in the confident money series. I'm so excited to have Dominique Brown on the show today. He is incredibly brilliant and yet super down-to-earth. He and I are in a mastermind together where he shares all kinds of tips about finances, business, and money. In this episode, Dominique shares his story and how budgeting doesn’t have to be deprivation, but how important it is to have a plan to work towards your goal. We also talk about credit repair and more amazing financial information.
CLIFF NOTES
Get educated about money and finances, because you can’t help yourself or others without that education.  
Have a spending plan or a budget. Write down what you want to accomplish and then plan for that.
Dominique talked about fixing credit with people and then moved on with financial planning and investing.
Don’t listen to credit myths like you can’t fix your credit on your own, changes happen instantly, and taking on more loans improves your score.
To fix your credit, create a specific goal like buying a home and then meet the goals to improve your score for that purpose.
Write down everything that is coming in and going out. Then pull your credit report and analyze what is negative.
It’s not always about deprivation, sometimes you just need to earn more money.

Wealth Can’t Wait

David Osborn is a real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, and the author of a book that was life changing for me. Wealth Can’t Wait is a must read for anyone who wants to upscale their life and wealth. David has founded over 50 companies, employs exceptional people, and has distributed millions of dollars to his partners. He is also an educator who teaches having an abundant life through goal-setting. He is also extremely down to earth, and it’s an honor and pleasure to have him on the show.
Episode Summary:
April is financial literacy month, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to have on the show than David Osborn. His book, Wealth Can’t Wait is the current Pod Club book, and this is my third time reading it. The seven pillars in his book are very similar to the Redefining Wealth six pillars. We talk about planning, taking action, surrounding yourself with the right people, and being accountable. Wealthy people take purposeful action, and David really drives that home in this episode.
CLIFF NOTES
Wealth is a CHOICE. You can decide to earn more, spend less, save more, and learn to invest that savings for growth.
Don't you deserve financial freedom? Wouldn't it be amazing if you never had to answer to another person for the rest of your life?
Develop disciplines that will serve you for a lifetime and make that choice to be wealthy.
Learn to take risks and practice thoughtful measured risks. Avoiding risk makes it hard to get ahead.
Don't fall into the know-it-all trap. Build knowledge over time and the status will come.
Prioritize your tasks by A B and C. Then only do the As. List and prioritize everything.
Become purposeful with your actions and focus on your air game, not your ground game or just doing everything that needs to be done.
You have to be the CEO of the corporation of YOU. You do the most important stuff and hire people to do the other stuff.
Quotes from the show:

What You Need is Confidence

I love having a partnership with Capital One. They recently did a study that found that 49% of respondents reported being someone confident or not very confident at all in the car buying process. They also found that 94% of respondents didn't believe that the process was completely transparent. Dave Kang is Managing VP of Consumer Auto Finance at Capital One and he’s here to give us tips and help us become more confident in the car buying process.

Episode Summary:
In honor of Financial Literacy Month, we’re launching a new series called Confident Money.  I want to focus on helping you “make money moves” with more confidence than you ever have. I know it can be intimidating to handle money from purchasing a home to investing in stocks and everything in between, but this month, my goal is to help you build the confidence necessary to make wise financial decisions in every area. In this episode, I share my ideas on building money confidence, so you can build the wealth you deserve. Then I have a conversation with Dave Kang about the car buying process.  
CLIFF NOTES
You need to feel confident about money in order to build wealth.
Clarity is what breeds confidence. Not being clear about the steps that lead up to the process breeds financial confusion.
Ask why you are making this financial decision now and how it can impact the entire picture.
When your decisions lack confidence, you’ve probably made a purchase from desperation. We want to make choices rooted in faith - NOT fear.
Confidence increases when you have trusted resources. Always ask for help and get support in the areas that aren’t your strongest.
Here’s the big takeaway this week:
In order to make the best financial decisions you can and be someone committed to making WISE money moves, you have to think about how to boost your confidence BEFORE you get into the transaction.
We have to stop making emotional decisions and make the ones that make sense for the bigger picture.
Quotes from the show:
“To make great strides and build wealth, it really requires building confidence.” - Patrice Washington
“Ask why you are making this financial decision now in order to get clarity.” - Patrice Washington
“Look at how your financial decision is going to impact everything else in your life.” - Patrice Washington
“What is it going to take to make it to the end result without settling?” - Patrice Washington
“We want to make choices rooted in faith not fear.” - Patrice Washington
“Knowledge is one thing, but wisdom is knowing how to apply the knowledge that you've obtained.” - Patrice Washington
“Clarity will breed confidence.” - Patrice Washington
“We want to be confident proactive productive citizens and proactive and confident consumers.” - Patrice Washington
“A vision of Auto Navigator is to bring more transparency to the car shopping and car buying experience.” - Dave Kang
Ask yourself . . . “What decisions are being for me versus what decisions am I making for myself.” - Dave Kang

REWIND: Faith Can Not Be Your Financial Crutch

As we kickoff financial literacy month, I'm doing a REWIND episode before we start the Confident Money Series, next week. I didn't record this week, because my heart is telling me that I can grieve and mourn even for someone I don't know personally. My husband and I were just at the store where Nipsey Hussle was shot. As someone who grew up in that area, it's just heartbreaking.
I will be sharing specific tips for the upcoming Confident Money Series. In this episode, I set the tone by going back to why faith cannot be your financial crutch. It will be a great foundation as we get into the Confident Money Series.
 
CLIFF NOTES
Many of us have been raised to believe that money is bad or being poor is more noble. This can create conflicting beliefs.
We can’t just be irresponsible with our financial lives, and then just pray for things to get better.
There is a personal responsibility that comes with personal finance. Some things you just need to do.
We can’t pray our way out of financial problems and predicaments. We should pray before we get into those predicaments.
You have to know your own numbers. We are all responsible for what goes in and what goes out.
You need to accept help when needed. Sometimes you need the help of someone else to get to what's next for you.
Nurture what you do know. Words are powerful. You should wake up knowing that you are ready to manage your money and manage it well.

Doubt Doesn’t Mean Don’t Do It

Even powerful and successful women doubt themselves at times. Doubt has also become a common thread with women in my community. Sometimes, we think that people who are successful never have doubts or fears. The truth is everyone has doubts and fears, it’s just that the successful people choose to push through those doubts and move forward. In this episode, I will talk about doubt and give you three actionable ways to push through that doubt.
I also have a big announcement about the Purpose Chaser Community. You can sign up for free to connect with like minded people. Next month is financial literacy month where I’ll be doing a whole series about money management and tips.
CLIFF NOTES
People and women in general often think that people doing amazing things don’t have the same doubt and fears that they have.
Don’t let doubt creep in and distract you from making decisions and moving forward with your goals and progressing towards success.  
It’s up to us to decide that we are going to do whatever it takes to push through obstacles and our own fears.
Doubt is normal defeat is a choice. It’s normal to have doubt, but letting it stop you is a choice.
Let the benefit of the doubt apply to you. We give this benefit to others. It’s time to give it to ourselves.
Write out the worst case scenario and realize that’s not the worst thing that could happen.

“Decide that you are going to do whatever it takes to push through even pushing through your own fear.” - Patrice Washington
“Doubt is normal, but allowing it to stop you in your tracks is a choice.” - Patrice Washington
“God doesn't require perfection from us and neither do most humans.” - Patrice Washington
“Don't measure your reality against a filtered fantasy like social media.” - Patrice Washington
“Why do we give so many other people the benefit of the doubt, but cut it off when it comes to us.” - Patrice Washington
“People want to support you, but you have to allow the benefit of the doubt for yourself in order for them to do that.” - Patrice Washington
“Progress beats perfection on any day of the week.” - Patrice Washington
“Doubt doesn't mean don't do it. Who is served by not doing it?” - Patrice Washington
“The best thing you can do for doubt is to challenge it and go get a win.” - Patrice Washington

Rachel Luna: Built to Survive

Rachel Luna is a good friend of mine and an entrepreneur, master confidence coach, speaker, author, podcaster, and a woman who tells it like it is. She helps women and ultra secure men find clarity and confidence to have the life and business of their dreams. She has overcome many obstacles in her life to find her purpose in helping people increase their sales and revenue through increased confidence and living with purpose.
Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode, Rachel shares some of her story and how and why she became a coach. She talks about how external issues can be solved by fixing the internal issues. We talk about active journaling, listening to god, having boundaries, not being a victim, and the realities of motherhood. We change the narrative around shame, because no one can shame you. Rachel also gives some great examples of having and enforcing positive boundaries.
CLIFF NOTES
Rachel helps people become more confident in anything. Externally, people may think they need help with something, but internally it may be a confidence issue.
As she overcame her problems and found a coach to help her, Rachel’s natural talent for helping others became evident.
A coach provides guidance and asks powerful questions. A consultant or mentor gives advice.
Actively wait on the lord to help you by seeking answers and praying and journaling. Take action and listen to God.
Sometimes it’s literally doing the work to get past the tests that we are given. Doing work you love does not have to be laborious.
Don’t see yourself as a victim. Take back your power and don’t squander your opportunity.
