Earn Your Happy

Today I am so excited to welcome my friend, Patrice Washington, back on the show. Patrice was named one of the 12 Most Inspiring Black Voices in Personal Development in Success Magazine in 2020. Patrice continues to be consistently recognized for her expertise by national media as an award-winning intuitive author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach and conscious media personality. She is committed to teaching a holistic approach to life, while redefining the term wealth back to its original meaning of ‘well-being’. Patrice got her start as America's Money Maven and is widely known for her personal finance expertise.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• The importance of knowing who you are, how to articulate it and dismissing anyone else’s feelings about your message
• Being committed to understanding that an audience of one is still an audience. Even if your message only impacts one person, you did your job and you’re living your life's purpose
• How to remove the pressure of trying to please everyone. As long as you’re being yourself, the people who are called to you will lean in
• How to show up as your most confident self

In today’s quickie, I am reminding you that the only way to build your confidence is to challenge yourself and keep those promises you made to yourself. 

Where you are right now, in your life, are you lacking confidence? Can you look back at your past week and notice where maybe you haven't shown up for yourself? You haven't done the things that you said you were going to do?

I want to share my trick for taking this in small steps and remind you that all that matters is that you are showing up.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• How one small promise to yourself will help you build confidence and pride
• Helping yourself start to feeling good about yourself again
• Building belief in yourself is building confidence behind the scenes. It is showing that you can rely on you

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of “yessing” yourself to death
• If you don’t get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally
• How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no
• How people react to your no is usually telling of how they will behave and show up for you down the line
• Why protecting boundaries and respecting others is so important

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Danielle Robay, a TV host and journalist who is currently the host of E!’s While You Were Streaming. She is the creator of the video podcast PRETTYSMART, and the best-selling card game QUESTION EVERYTHING: 52 Cards For Deep(er) Conversation, noted by Forbes as a “game changer”. 

Danielle is a big believer in being a self generator and we talk in-depth about putting yourself out there and going for what you want, instead of waiting for someone to bring it to you. We also discuss how there is no failure in entrepreneurship, it's just a pivot that pushes you into the next thing.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Feeling uncertainty and financial instability while working towards your dream, and the pressure felt to create a different life
• Having more value to offer when you go ahead and do something yourself rather than waiting for someone else to offer it to you
• Tools for asking yourself what is the worst-case scenario that could happen, in times of stress or anxiety, and realizing it's never going to be that bad
• Tips on the fastest way to make yourself feel better on a bad day by making someone else feel better about themselves

Chris and I realized that we’ve gotten too comfortable, and it was making us mentally and physically soft. We’re working on getting our edge back and doing our best to dive right into the discomfort. We break down how we’re living out the message of Micheal Easter’s book The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self, and chat about the amazing results that we’ve seen so far. We’re making a conscious effort to become the type of people who embrace every challenge that life throws our way and stop sweating the small stuff. 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• How we know when we've gotten too comfortable
• The consequences of never pushing yourself out of your comfort zone 
• Tools to become a more solution-based thinker  
• Embracing the variance of emotion
• Simple ways that we’re adding more mental and physical challenges into our lives

I was recently listening to an episode of the Ed Mylett Show with Rory Vaden, and they brought up the difference between investing time versus spending time. It’s a simple idea, but it helped me realize that being intentional about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with isn’t just about streamlining your schedule, but it’s also about moving the needle on your long-term goals and making your life better. I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve been able to apply this to my life and some tangible ways for you to implement it in your life as well.  

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Thinking about the ROI of your time 
• Reflecting on ways that you might be giving away your time without getting anything in return 
• How the most successful business leaders invest their time 
• Why Chris and I consider our lake house a true investment in our future success, happiness, and wellbeing
