Trusting in your higher power & knowing when to walk away.
Tisha first shared the three things she is grateful for:
- Amber alert – it allows information to get into the hands of whatever area it is suspected to help the children.
- Music – Music has always been her therapy. Music takes her down memory lane and remembering the challenges she’s gone through.
- Good friendships and conversations – she’s been a lot more socials during this time. Connecting with other people makes her feel good.
This time, Tisha is joined by her friend Trasha. Trasha recently left her husband and Tisha invited her to her podcast because she’s had clients dealing with the relationships that are not serving them anymore but they’re afraid to go.
They start with the three things Trasha is grateful for.
- Peace of mind
- A flow of income – the ability to work from home.
- Being alive – even in the midst of everything that’s going on, we’re alive and well.
We can have heaven on earth if we just take care of ourselves. Joy is a euphoric place because regardless of what’s going on, you can’t be shaken. Everything that we need is within us we just need to tap into it.
In 2016, Trasha’s daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. There’s something spiritual about sickness. The doctor told her that they know how to treat it and that they have a plan. She believed it was God speaking through the doctor.
She immediately humbled herself and surrender to the process. When you take control of stuff, you mess it up.
Nobody wants to hear that their child got cancer but that was the most beautiful experience of illness she ever encountered. Her daughter did not experience any side effects they said she would experience.
There is a Higher Power that if you give in and let go and surrender things always work out for your highest good. We are in control of very little in this universe. Control is linked to pride and pride comes before every fall.
Her daughter’s hair started falling and they had to cut it but instead of being sad, her daughter got excited instead.
Trust the process. Release control.
During the time she also struggled at work and with her son. She also was dealing with marital issues but she still walked through all of it without losing her mind. It was because her faith was stronger than everything that was going on around her, she released everything and put things in God’s hands.
She said 2019 is the year she walks away from all the bondage.
It was so much more than walking away from the relationship. It was a process. The eyes she viewed her marriage in prior to walking through the storm of her daughter’s illness were not the same eyes that she had when she came back to focusing on her marriage. She was able to see a lot of ugliness in the process of her daughter being sick and she was able to see things at the core of what they really were. God equipped her with everything she needed to walk away.
Trasha encourages us to understand when you are hurting that is it. Don’t sit in it because it’s only going to hurt more and then you will have to recover that much more. We know what we should be doing and when we don’t do it the universe will do it for us and it’s always much more painful.
You have to get out of the idea that it’s somebody’s fault. When you focus on what the other person did, you don’t grow.
