Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

“Everybody has the giant inside of them.” - Brandi Harvey Let me ask you something, and I want you to be honest. What’s the point of making a resolution if you aren’t going to keep it? Also, how do you expect to keep your resolution if you’re not fixing the root of the problem? For example, the most common New Year’s resolution is to get in shape. You can go to the gym, and lose the weight but that alone isn’t going to keep the weight off. Your fitness doesn’t start at the body. Like most things in life, it starts at the mind and soul. You need to analyze what got you overweight, to begin with. Is it from emotional eating? Do you have bad habits, like rewarding yourself with a milkshake when you do something good? On this episode of the Redefining wealth podcast, we are joined by my good friend, Brandi Harvey. You probably recognize her as the daughter of popular TV show host, Steve Harvey, but much more than that Brandi is a wellness advocate, teacher and profound public speaker. Recently she’s started her own company BEYOND HER, which is still in its infancy. Download this episode today to hear her amazing insights on one of the most important pillars: Fit. “Nothing is going to stop you but you.” - Brandi Harvey The Cliff Notes: If you want results, you have to do things you’ve never done before. Don’t be the skinniest person in the room, be the healthiest. Sometimes you just need a nudge or word to wake up your inner giant. You only get one body to take care of. Our bodies need to be loved, respected and cared for. A part of our journey is respecting our temple. Whatever we do in the dark, it shows up in the light. You have to change all of your habits if you want to see results. You can’t out train a bad diet. What we put into our bodies has the ability to heal us, or to harm us. Greatness never goes on sale, it’s always full price. You have to consider what caused the weight to get there in the first place. A quick fix never lasts, you have to find the root of the problem. Everything is connected: Mind, Body, and Soul. Make sure you have the mental capacity to handle the things you want. Take the time to reflect on your feelings. To get the things that you want, you have to do the things you’ve never done. You have to be alone for the spirit to talk to you. Every great person has had a mountaintop experience. Many people use their faith as a cop out. You can’t pray about it and then forget about it. Don’t be afraid to surrender. “You can’t get ready for your life. It’s happening right now.” - Brandi Harvey

Are you the type of person who goes to bed thinking, “I didn’t do enough today,” “I didn’t accomplish all the things I had on my to-do list and I feel awful about it”? Too often, this is how we end our day, and it’s how we wake up the next day. But here’s the thing, feeling bad about yourself for not being as productive as you wanted to be doesn’t serve you. And it certainly isn’t going to boost your productivity because who’s going to be more productive when they feel like they’ve been bad? In today’s episode, I sit down with Tonya Dalton, author of The Joy of Missing Out and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co., a company centered around productivity tools and training, to dive further into this topic of to-do lists and priorities and how most of the things we check off our lists just leave us feeling incomplete and unhappy.

The Joy of Missing Out Takeaways So often we think life is meant to be endured, when truly it’s meant to be enjoyed. – Tonya Dalton We’re so busy chasing busy that we don’t give ourselves a chance to inhale so that we can exhale. – Tonya Dalton Give yourself permission to take back your power and choose what actually matters to you. – Patrice Washington We’re so busy people pleasing that we put ourselves at the very bottom of our own people-pleasing list. – Tonya Dalton We can’t shine our light on other people if our batteries always need recharging. – Tonya Dalton Self-care is not about spa days and pedicures; it’s about filling up your soul, not your calendar. – Tonya Dalton Quiet your soul – only then will you be able to see where God is pulling you. – Tonya Dalton When it comes to living that go-go-go lifestyle, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it and think that productivity should outweigh our happiness. But that’s just not true – your happiness is more important than checking off a bunch of meaningless tasks. So I invite you to think about how you’re living each day. Are you checking off tasks that are truly important to you or are you checking off tasks and creating lists that are meaningless to your purpose?

Why is a morning routine important? How do you start one and what do you include? Is it just a morning meditation or can your routine include meditation, breakfast, going to the gym, journaling, etc.? In today’s episode, we’re kicking off 2020 with our Results NOT Resolutions series and I’ve invited Koya Webb, founder of Get Loved Up, an international lifestyle community and Yoga School, and author of Let Your Fears Make You Fierce, to share how she uses rituals to manifest results in her life. Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, celebrity holistic health coach, author, speaker and vegan activist whose core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness and eco-friendly living to combat some of the world’s biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices and global warming. Part of Koya’s message is if you’re serious about getting results and manifesting what it is you say you want, then you have to commit. You have to consistently –day-in, day-out – show up and do the work. Now, let’s dive in as Koya and I discuss this and more! This episode is brought to you by Purpose 2 Platform, my hands on business accelerator that gives spirit-led women the strategy to create more impact, influence and income with integrity. Schedule a call to see if I’m the coach for you! Rituals Create Your Results Takeaways Gratitude is the number one key to keeping us in alignment with love. – Koya Webb Expressing gratitude takes you out of victim mentality and puts you into that creator mentality. – Koya Webb Whenever you find yourself in any type of emotion that’s not love, happiness, joy or abundance, that’s fear. – Koya Webb Fear is feedback. When fear comes up, it’s telling you there’s a place within you that needs more love and attention. – Koya Webb I want you to see the person who offended you on a stage, for example, and imagine a bunch of good things happening to them. – Koya Webb When I know better, I have to do better and if I don’t, then I’m part of the problem. – Koya Webb Do you have a morning routine? Do you practice gratitude? One of the big hesitations people have around setting a routine is that they won’t commit to it every day. Discipline is not a punishment and it’s not perfection. If you’re just starting out, try to do one thing to process your emotions – practice gratitude, journaling, going for a walk, meditating, and so on. Do one thing that brings you joy and then build on it. Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions And with that, let’s dig into Koya’s responses to our Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions. Define Success: “Success is living in the vibration of love in everything that I do.” Define Wealth in 3 Words or Less: “Abundance in love.” One Book that Has Redefined How You See Wealth: Abundance Now by Lisa Nichols Fill-in the Blanks ... “My name is ___ and the truth about wealth is ___”: “My name is Koya and the truth about wealth is it’s available at all times and in all places.” LINKS: To advertise on the podcast: http://www.patricewashington.com/podcastads Become an Official Purpose Chaser: http://www.iamapurposechaser.com Join Patrice’s Pod Club: http://www.patricespodclub.com To check out ALL of our past guests + episodes: http://www.patricewashington.com/Listen If you have questions about booking Patrice or sponsoring the podcast, email us at [email protected].

“We don’t get what we want, we get what we believe.” How many times have you got excited about something, then you felt too overwhelmed to even start? Maybe you thought it was too complicated, or that there were too many steps? Most of the time we don’t achieve our goals because we talk ourselves out of them just as fast as we talked ourselves into them. If you want to be successful, don’t make it complicated in your head - because it’s really not. Let’s take this podcast for example. It started with an idea I was excited about. When I started thinking about how much work it was, it was overwhelming. I had to buy a microphone, I had to get software to record, I had to get it edited, find music for it, figure out how to get it published, where to get it published, get it on my website, etc. It was easy to feel like I was trying to move a mountain, but I hired a coach (THANKS, VERNON ROSS!) and found it wasn’t really that hard. I just had to get started and the truth is when the ball is rolling it’s easier to move. You just need to get started. On this episode of Redefining Wealth, we discuss the ways we make things harder than necessary, and we find excuses not to commit. Download this episode now and learn how you can overcome your excuses, and make your goals easier (and more fun) than binge watching Netflix. “Progress beats perfection EVERY single time.” The Cliff Notes: Sometimes we hold ourselves back because we worry about the stress and burden our goals will bring. Don’t talk yourself out of that million dollar idea. Take your dream and simplify it down to something you can tackle one piece at a time. Grace is the condition or fact of being favored. Ease is the absence of difficulty or effort. Nothing has meaning except for the meaning we attach to it. Don’t give yourself all year to get things done. Master fewer things as opposed to giving minimal effort to many things. You have the resources to get to where you want to go - now. Don’t be afraid to weed out people that aren’t a fit for you. “Think of yourself as already being favored to succeed.”

What are you feeding your spirit? Seriously, what are we putting into our bodies that’s positioning us to actually get what we say we want? The Holy Spirit placed so many lessons on my heart as I was locked away in a hotel room, snacking and working on my next book. It was like a blaring alarm went off, and at that moment, I realized I wasn’t just snacking physically. I was snacking spiritually, too. You see, I’d do some drive-by faith by getting in a devotional here or there. Vibe to some gospel music at the gym or drop a “preach, sis, preach” on a faith-based meme on social media, all the while convincing myself it was enough. But the truth is, I was snacking. And if snacking alone is not enough to nourish our bodies, how is it ever enough to feed our spirits? It’s not. I want you to know spiritual malnutrition is a serious condition that will leave you ready to pop off over insignificant things and incapable of living in the fullness of what you’re asking for, among other things. That’s why we must choose to make time to nourish our spirits on a daily basis. Now, have you ever thought to yourself, “I just need more hours in the day?” I know I have, so when I meet women with full lives and full plates who seem to do SO MUCH with joy, peace, style, grace and ease, I'm always quick to ask them the secret. When I met, Tina Black, a Paul Mitchell school owner, salon owner, author, podcaster, wife and mother how she does it all, she reminded me, “It's not about time management, it's about priority management.” Tina doesn't believe in letting life just happen, she believes in planning. She created BE A PLANNER to help us all get ready for our best decade ever! Be a Planner teaches you how to plan your quarter, month, week and day down to a tee. It helps you think through what you should be doing versus what you should be delegating. Success Leaves Clues, Purpose Chasers, and for just $30 for a year-long planner, I'm willing to see how much of what has helped Tina create her amazing success can be applied to my life for sure. To pick up your copy of “Be A Planner,” head to TinaBlack.net/SHOP. And let’s plan our way into a purposeful 2020 and beyond. Nourishing your spirit surely deserves a bullet on your daily to-do list just as much as the other things in your life, so plan it into your day. Spiritual Takeaways You can’t outwork a bad spiritual diet. There’s no need in wishing, hoping and praying for things you’re not spiritually strong enough to accept, embrace, hold, maintain and sustain. Faith is about believing in something greater, so if you say you believe in something, then you must make time to practice it. Don’t get so far it this wealth-building, business-building, brand-building and people-pleasing that now you think you can snack your way to spiritual victory. Spirituality is not a one-size-fits-forever thing. What you feed your spirit today may not be enough to nourish the vision that God has for you tomorrow. Let us know your biggest takeaway from this episode in the comments section. What changes are you willing to make to your spiritual diet?
