Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Guest Lori Phillips states “Through a God wink, a God signal to us, he reconnected us back in 2015. Through just serendipity, we were brought back together and at the time both of us were living pretty miserable lives. Even though you know you don’t show that to people, you aren’t forthcoming with that with people because you’re a little ashamed. Through our reconnection, we were able to go to a women’s retreat. And all we knew was that it was women that we didn’t know coming together, and it was something about positivity. The hand of God, we were placed together in that retreat.

Guest Tonya Hendley added “So we didn’t know what we were getting into. We came together and started learning in this two or three days so much information that there was a different way to live, and that we could create and live how we wanted to. And so I think that it was really empowering to know that life was not happening to us. We were happening to life, and we were allowing life to run us instead of the other way around. And so, I think that we just after that retreat really sat back and said ‘OK, we don’t want to live like this anymore.’”

In this episode, Lori and Tonya talk about being roommates in college and then losing touch with one another. They share their journey learning about positivity after being reconnected with one another. They tell how they started The Positive Vibe Tribe, a Facebook group to help their friends and one another feed their mind positivity because there was so much in spite of all the negativity on their social media feeds. They share how they opened the doors to meet the needs of other people to find more positivity and how their Facebook group has grown to serve 26.9K people. They talk about the Success Principles they learned from their training to become Jack Canfield certified trainers. (Jack Canfield is the author of many books including the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.) One of the Success Principles that they focused on was to take 100% responsibility for your life. Lori and Tonya also learned and now teach people to choose their response instead of react. They share how they became published authors in the bestselling book Permission Granted where twenty women share their inspiring stories about how they gave themselves permission. They describe themselves as the biggest cheerleader for one another. They also hold one another accountable. They talk about their business, Higher Navigation and how it naturally evolved. As they deepened their knowledge and experience with positivity, meditation and healing, people started asking them to provide training and keynote speeches.
