It’s one thing to pray and dream big, but do we truly open ourselves to receive big? We'll chat about how personal growth often involves significant pivots and a lot of uncomfortable moments. Sheri shares her insights on navigating these turbulent times with grace, emphasizing the importance of patience and obedience even when things don’t make sense. She opens up about her own struggles and quiet periods of reflection, offering us the lessons she learned on aligning with divine timing.This episode is a powerful reminder that receiving big requires more than just asking—it’s about letting go of what holds us back and embracing our entire journey, including past versions of ourselves. Sheri’s wisdom will inspire you to not only pray big and believe big but to also receive big.Show Notes:[11:05] - There were times where Sheri was going through deep struggles, but she learned why she needed to be quiet.[13:25] - How can you be obedient when it feels like everything has fallen apart?[18:03] - Receiving big will mean being obedient even when it doesn’t make sense.[23:00] - When we get caught up with our vision of God’s timing, we miss the fullness of what he’s releasing to us.[25:54] - There are benchmarks in our lives that we place markers on. These markers motivate us and they are often times of brokenness.[30:58] - What beliefs, behaviors, people, and possessions are you willing to release?[33:58] - You can’t force yourself to try to fix something. You need to let go of the things that are no longer serving you in this season.[37:41] - Do not demonize previous versions of yourself. Without that person, you would not be.[39:19] - We tend to have a hard time asking for help. But when we do ask, we think we are asking from a place of weakness.Links and Resources:Redefining Wealth AppThe Institute of Redefining WealthPatrice Washington on InstagramRedefining Wealth LiveSheri Riley’s InstagramSheriRiley.comThe Value of Being Present Full Episode with Sheri Riley

Why I Gave Up $1 Million in Revenue Last Year

Today, I'm diving into a story that's been weighing on my heart for quite some time. It's about a decision I made—a decision that led me to give up a staggering $1 million in revenue last year. Now, you might be wondering why anyone in their right mind would walk away from such a substantial sum, and I get it. Trust me, it wasn't an easy choice. But as we've been exploring the evolution of purpose in this season, I've come to realize just how crucial the WORK Pillar is.This isn't just some abstract concept—I'm sharing my own journey, my own struggles, and ultimately, my own growth. From leaning into the pillars to putting everything through an "Authentic Alignment Audit," I'll walk you through the process of making peace with the decision to let go. And let me tell you, doing something with more ease doesn't mean it's easy. But sometimes, in order to step into our true purpose, we have to be willing to let go of what no longer serves us. So, join me as I unravel the story behind why I gave up $1 million in revenue, and discover what incredible transformations came out of this monumental decision. Show Notes:[7:53] - Why would someone choose to stop something that works?[10:15] - When we get a download and take action to make it happen, that is amazing. But what if you are told to do nothing?[14:04] - I put everything through an “Authentic Alignment Audit” and some things were not fitting. I was on autopilot.[16:14] - You have to make peace with the process.[21:30] - You have to be radically honest with yourself.[23:18] - Hearing and doing are two different things. Knowing and owning are two different things.[26:27] - What are you willing to lose? Knowing this allows you to release the attachment to the outcome and frees you to make authentic choices.[31:54] - I now understand that I don’t care how huge my audience is. I just want to serve the people I’ve been assigned to.[35:16] - Things that are right for us in this season might not be aligned in other seasons.Links and Resources:Redefining Wealth AppThe Institute of Redefining WealthPatrice Washington on InstagramRedefining Wealth Live3 Numbers to Change Your Financial Life
