Hey there Purpose Chasers! Even if you’ve only been around here for a short while, you know that I’m all about living with intention and that stretches to the way I set my goals. That’s how I was able to get my MBA, run my business, go through a divorce, write three books, raise my child, AND look after my mom all at the same time. But I’ve had people ask me how I can get it all done. The truth is, I have a system. There’s a system behind my goal-setting and behind the way I execute so that I make sure that I’m achieving what I want to achieve. On this episode of Redefining Wealth, I’m letting you in on my goal-setting secrets so that you can face life’s challenges and still get to where you want to go. Sound good? Then join me!

Self-Improvement

Are you in a season of dreaming a new dream? Have you been feeling the need to change, shift, or pivot in a new direction? Maybe you can sense this need, but you’re grappling with uncertainty and resistance. When we are being called to pivot, we can struggle when we feel uncertain about what is going on. But we have to listen. We have to know the signs and indicators that we are ready for a pivot while they are pebbles and not yet boulders. This episode is all about navigating the journey of embracing change, whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal endeavors. From recognizing the subtle whispers of discontent to embracing the signs pointing towards a new path, this episode has a lot of honest and practical strategies to help you pivot with grace and dignity. You are not alone. We have all experienced, in some way or another, a reset or a refresh in the last few years. But we haven’t all experienced it the same way, nor have we prepared ourselves for the evolution we’re called to make. So listen on to learn the signs that you might be ready for a pivot, how to notice these signs before they blow up, and how to embrace change and overcome resistance. 
Show Notes:[2:13] - I pivot with ease, grace, and dignity. [7:53] - Most of us don’t shift at the start of the whispers. We wait for the blow up. [11:27] - One of the first signs is feeling disinterested and unfulfilled. [16:35] - You don’t have to wait till it is a boulder. It is time to allow yourself to evolve. [19:01] - Ease does not mean easy. [22:36] - You cannot pivot with ease if you are misaligned. [23:19] - Embrace the signs. [26:41] - Expect resistance. [29:08] - Examine your motivation and intention.

How to Pivot with Ease When You Don’t Know Where to Start

Welcome aboard our purpose-driven flight!  Today, we're exploring a topic that's as inevitable as it is unpredictable: the turbulence of purpose. You know, that bumpy, turbulent journey we all experience as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of our dreams and aspirations. Just like when you're soaring through the skies and suddenly hit a patch of turbulence, life's journey is full of unexpected twists and turns. No matter how prepared we are or how clear our destination, we can't avoid the bumps along the way. In this Wisdom Point episode, let’s get into what turbulence means both in the air and in our lives. We'll unpack all those thoughts that consume us when we find ourselves in the turbulence of purpose – the conflict, the confusion, the instability. But here's the thing: it's all part of the journey. Just because we've been given a vision or a calling doesn't mean the path will always be smooth sailing.  But even though turbulence is to be expected, there are ways we can make sure that our purpose is never postponed. Let’s get started! 
Show Notes:[3:15] - In life, turbulence is conflict or confusion. It can also mean instability and unrest. [5:09] - We have a ton of thoughts and questions that consume us when we are in the turbulence of purpose. [7:11] - The only thing you can control is how you respond. [10:51] - Be sure you are in the Redefining Wealth community in the Redefining Wealth App to have the support of a skilled pilot. [12:53] - No matter what turbulence you are experiencing, purpose should never be postponed.

Wisdom Point #14 - The Turbulence of Purpose

One of the ways we can chase purpose instead of money is to be free: free to reinvent ourselves, free to allow ourselves to evolve, free to allow ourselves to pivot into the highest and best selves. That’s the theme for this month and for this episode, we have the amazing Myesha Chaney back for a Part 2 conversation about dating after divorce. If you haven’t listened to it yet, be sure to check out Part 1 of our conversation where she shares her divorce story. This woman’s grit, grace, beauty, and ability to articulate what a self-love journey really looks like has been such a blessing. Myesha's raw honesty left us all feeling empowered and enlightened, and I simply couldn't resist bringing her back for more. In this episode, we'll continue our exploration of what it truly means to chase purpose instead of money – to be free. From reinventing ourselves to reimagining love in this new season, Myesha shares invaluable insights and advice that will resonate with anyone navigating the post-divorce dating scene. So, if you're yearning for hope, inspiration, and a renewed sense of possibility, this conversation between two girlfriends shows that finding love and fulfillment after divorce is possible. Know that there is hope on the other side. Things really can come together. 
Show Notes:[3:23] - Dating will teach you a lot, not only about other people, but yourself. [8:50] - People need to earn the right to progress further. [12:02] - You are entitled to your desires. [18:49] - You get to redefine what you want in a partner and what you want for your future. [20:41] - You don’t get to tell people how to love you. You get to see how they love and decide if you want to participate. [25:10] - Having the ability to decide is a gift. [33:19] - What is the next right thing? [34:49] - Fear is a sign that there is something special you need to do. [38:02] - When we ask better questions, we get better solutions. [40:08] - You can be free and have your dignity. You don’t have to hide.

Myesha Chaney on Divorce, Faith, and Reinventing Your Life

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.
