In this episode, we're tackling the idea of valuing what we already have and recognizing the abundance in our lives. 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
Thursday May 16, 2024
Thursday May 16, 2024
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

How to Remove the Burden of Shame with Latoya Mathews
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Welcome to this episode of Redefining Wealth, where we are focusing on the theme of “Be Free.” Today, I’m joined by Latoya Matthews, a woman of courage and resilience, as we explore the power of embracing one's story and breaking free from the chains of shame. In this month's theme of "Be Free," we are on a journey of faith and fearlessness, recognizing that true wealth encompasses the freedom to live authentically and pursue our deepest desires. Latoya's journey embodies the essence of liberation, inspiring us to confront our past traumas and rewrite the narratives that have held us captive.Latoya is a grace-filled freedom coach with a reputation as a beacon of hope for leading women who have experienced shame and self-condemnation to wholeness and freedom. She spearheaded and launched a host of dynamic faith based initiatives in her quest to see women empowered and set free from emotional, childhood, and broken relationship trauma. She hosts an annual three-day retreat entitled The Free Woman: The Sacred Space for Women to Gather and Heal. She’s here today to share a bit about her debut memoir Unveiled Freedom.*DISCLAIMER: If you are sensitive to the topic of abortion, this may not be the episode for you because that is a part of Latoya’s story. Many of us have things in our lives that have kept us ashamed and tried to abort us from freedom. There are things that we were told to feel shame for and instantly felt shame for that have been following us our whole lives.Show Notes:[5:00] - I am liberated to live boldly.[11:48] - You may not have had an abortion in your life, but you’ve had experiences that have tried to abort your destiny.[14:08] - We try to cover ourselves up so we don’t see the shame.[16:37] - How many of us have something that we have normalized that is connected to shame?[19:13] - There is a cost to not knowing who you are. Shame is a hindrance to your purpose.[21:07] - Start by finding a safe space to tell your story.[23:45] - Everyone has the power to change, but not everybody has the desire to do so.[26:13] - If you feel like your story is a part of your purpose, you need to go through the process of owning it.[38:14] - It is too much to take on the judgment of others, especially when we already judge ourselves.[42:43] - You have to be committed to the healing process to be vulnerable enough to share your story.Links and Resources:Redefining Wealth AppThe Institute of Redefining WealthPatrice Washington on InstagramUnveiled Freedom by Latoya MathewsLatoya Mathews Website

Hey there, Purpose Chasers! I'm really excited about today's topic because it's something that's been truly on my heart lately.So, this month, our theme is Set Free. We're diving deep into what it truly means to live a life of abundance and liberation. But here's the thing: in order to experience that freedom, we have to be willing to do the work, to do our part. We have to be open to allowing ourselves to be set free from anything that's holding us back.You see, many of us walk around carrying this illusion of freedom, but deep down, we're still chained to “pretty prisons” – whether it's external definitions of wealth, the fear of being radically honest with ourselves, or the need for validation from others.In today's episode, we're going to explore six signs that might indicate you're not as free as you think you are. From using external measures to define your worth to feeling like your days are on autopilot, you might hear the exact reason you are stuck.

It is time to live free.Show Notes:[3:26] - I am free to live life on my own terms.[4:33] - We need to ask ourselves better questions to get better answers.[6:19] - Instead of thinking about external factors, do your own work on your behavior and beliefs.[8:07] - Many of us have built ourselves a pretty prison and are lonely in plain sight.[10:29] - What have we allowed ourselves to become chained to?[12:19] - One of the first signs that you are not as free as you think you are is using external definitions to describe wealth.[13:51] - If radical honesty scares you, you are not free. It is the ultimate expression of self love.[15:17] - Being able to embrace vulnerability is the pathway to a deeper relationship.[17:16] - You are not free if you are still attached to people agreeing with your choices.[19:40] - It’s not really a failure. It’s a lesson to learn from and move on.[22:51] - You are not living freely if you feel like your days are on autopilot.[25:10] - Make a commitment to try something new.[26:03] - You are not free if your financial life has been stagnant for more than three years.[29:54] - You are not free if you are not clear about your purpose.[32:16] - The path to purpose is rooted in self-discovery.[33:24] - Be honest. First with yourself and then find people you can be honest with.[35:29] - Pay attention to your language and start to use freeing language.[37:37] - The path to truly living abundantly requires awakening, redefining, and actualizing.Links and Resources:Enroll in Pillar MasteryRedefining Wealth AppThe Institute of Redefining WealthPatrice Washington on InstagramFuture Personal Training
