Self-Improvement

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.

Why I Gave Up $1 Million in Revenue Last Year

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with your purpose, feeling like you're at odds with the path you're meant to walk? This month, it’s all about how purpose evolves, but it’s clear that many of us are at war with what we are called to do in this season. You're not alone. In this episode, we're making peace with our purpose. First, what are the signs or indications that you are at war with your purpose? Maybe you’re annoyed, irritable, you might feel like something is just “off,” or maybe you don’t have the same passion and drive you used to have. You might be at war with the idea of dreaming a new dream. When you are unfulfilled in what you do everyday, there’s a void. And the longer you go, the deeper and wider that void becomes. If this speaks to you, now what?  Listen on to learn the complexities of purpose and explore how it evolves over time. You'll discover how to navigate the tension between who you've been and who you're becoming, and make peace with the different aspects of your purpose that may be causing this inner conflict. If we’re going to allow our purpose to evolve, we have to make peace with ourselves. 
Show Notes:[5:40] - There is conflict between who you’ve been and who you are becoming. [8:22] - You have to make peace with the people that your purpose is attached to. [15:58] - We are at war with the position we are being called into. [17:14] - We dismiss and diminish God-given talents simply because we didn’t have to work on it and it came easily. [20:04] - Sometimes a position pivot means step forward, but sometimes it means to step back and leave something behind. [22:49] - Make peace with the paycheck or lack thereof. [30:32] - Make peace with the process. [31:38] - When you are being called to something new, it is normal to grieve, feel uncomfortable, and feel crazy.

Make Peace With Your Purpose

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.

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.
