Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

To show our appreciation for Financial Awareness Month, we continue our “Thoughtful Money Series”. The purpose of this series is to become people who are more thoughtful around conversions that can increase financial literacy and education in our communities. If we’re going to be better with money, we have to start closing the gap. The statistics regarding money for minorities and women are mind b...

As we continue our Thoughtful Money Series, today’s episode focuses on the dreadful “d-word” we all know and despise: Debt. Debt is that familiar friend that finds its way into our finances. Some of us blatantly hide our debt from family and friends, while others secretly stash shopping bags and bank statements to avoid money conversations entirely. Regardless, we all tend to not disclose the full...

As we dive into our “Thoughtful Money” series, I wanted this series to contain unconventional conversations that challenge our money mindset and uncover the reasoning behind how we think of money.  While many athletes, entertainers and celebrities are known for having access to a lot of money, it’s interesting how so many have fallen victim to bankruptcy and financial struggles. I believe that who...

Have you ever told yourself that something was impossible?  Too often we deem a task impossible before we even start. We look at the amount of work it takes, all of the responsibilities we already have and the lack of time in a day, and we completely rule it out before we even give ourselves an opportunity to put the work in.  When we say it’s impossible, we’re saying that we’re not determined eno...

Last year, my theme for 2020 was obedience. Instead of questioning and second guessing instructions that I knew were from God, I chose to move without question and obey any instructions regardless of fear, doubt, or sacrifices attached. Through obedience, I experienced supernatural favor and in spite of a global pandemic, I moved when God called me to shift, launch, and change the systems in my li...

For the last 39 years, I have carried certain mindsets and attitudes that have gotten me to where I am today. However, as I cross over into my 40s, I am letting go of limiting beliefs that no longer serve me and chasing a purpose that only contributes to my peace, joy, or happiness.    My focus for this year is to be content. While my 20s were focused on pleasing people and gaining influence and m...

Today is the day - March 15th - my 40th Birthday and the official release of my new book Redefine Wealth For Yourself: How to Stop Chasing Money and Finally Live Your Life's Purpose!   I am so excited to share this with you and I hope and pray that it blesses you as much as your support has blessed me. This book is a physical manifestation of the various stories, testimonies, lessons and experienc...

Hey There! While some of you are OG listeners and have been tuning in to The Redefining Wealth Podcast since its inception, many of you may be new here and if so you’re joining us just in time to help us celebrate Patrice’s Birthday! This Monday, March 15th, officially marks Patrice’s 40th Birthday and the release of her new Book - Redefine Wealth For Yourself: How to Stop Chasing Money and Finall...

What is fear truly costing you? What opportunities are you missing out on? Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s not about waiting until you are fearless, it’s about moving and chasing purpose in spite of fear. So often we desire to be obedient and fulfill our hearts desires, yet fear pushes us down and keeps us stuck in silence. The fear of rejection, failure, judgement and for some, success, ar...

Do you feel like your business isn’t growing at the rate you hoped it would? Have you ever been told “No” or told that you weren’t the right fit for your business? It seems like many of today’s entrepreneurs expect to achieve success overnight. They look up to media moguls who flaunt their current status of influence, but fail to reveal their growing pains and the challenges that brought them to t...

Have you ever become so focused on chasing purpose and making things happen, you don’t allow things to flow naturally? When it comes to redefining wealth, our lives typically tell our story without us having to say a word. Our actions reveal our greatest strengths and weaknesses, and our rituals and daily practices reflect what we hope to attract in life. Believe it or not, our lives have a way of...

Are you questioning how to pursue your purpose when your partner doesn’t understand or support you? Oftentimes, my husband and I are referred to as a power couple, but I don't believe we talk enough about what it takes to support those who are purpose-driven. Pursuing or preserving a relationship while chasing purpose is an honest struggle for many couples because it requires learning how to make...

When most people initially think about pursuing purpose, they usually jump right into deciding the type of work they need to do in order to earn the amount of money they hope to make. As a finance expert for the last decade, I’ve received tons of inquiries regarding how to successfully turn your passion into profit, but none that desire clarity around purpose. I believe work and money should be th...

Welcome to part two of our Results Not Resolutions series! In this series we are redefining wealth for ourselves by re-assessing our lives through the lens of each of the six pillars of wealth and last week we unpacked the Fit & People pillars. As we continue to seek wisdom and focus on the condition of our overall well-being, this week’s episode is centered around the Space & Faith pillar...

Before we step fully into redefining wealth, I believe it’s important that we review the six pillars of wealth. While many of you have heard me talk about the six pillars and expressed your excitement and understanding, others have sent me personal messages and emails in search of clarity and practical action steps to activate each pillar. If you’re not familiar, the six pillars of wealth are Fit,...

If you consider yourself a Purpose Chaser, then you know that every year we start the year off with a series called “Results, Not Resolutions”. Around this time of year we hear many people sharing their New Year Resolutions and too often we make resolutions that we either don’t really want or we want, but don’t know how to actually achieve it in order to get results. I’m committed to helping you r...

Happy New Year! It goes without saying that 2020 was collectively a challenging year for many of us. This year, I want to make sure you’re set up to leverage the lessons you learned last year so that you can attain all of your goals. To kick off the new year, I wanted to introduce you all to a trailblazer who truly compliments what it means to redefine wealth and who I absolutely admire and apprec...

It comes as no surprise that 2020 has been a year of unusual and unexpected surprises. In March of 2020, our lives changed forever because what started as a two week call to quarantine turned into a worldwide pandemic. From the millions of Americans who lost their jobs, to the millions who gathered in solidarity to address racial and social injustices, 2020 also challenged our health with Covid-19...

Do you enjoy alone time and do your best thinking alone? Have you ever been told you’re too intense? How about networking, do you feel like you’re faking it when you have to network? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you may be an introvert. In my work with Purpose to Platform, I’ve heard so many women consider themselves introverts. They usually admit to not being comfortable on...

What if you woke up and realized that you had been striving for weeks, months, and even decades to create a life that you didn’t even want? What would you do? How would you feel? I want to challenge you to think about what you really value. For some of us, this year was an opportunity to clean house and remove the many distractions that kept us from pursuing purpose. For others, this year helped u...

We’re wrapping up the Created for Purpose challenge this week in the Redefining Wealth Facebook Group and while over 3,000 women joined in to learn how to show up authentically in the marketplace, I’ve recognized a common theme holding many back: Imposter Syndrome.   It’s that feeling that even though you are well equipped, you are still some how not worthy enough to have a seat at the table and s...

Last month we celebrated National Entrepreneurship Day and highlighted some amazing stories from some of the women in our signature Purpose To Platform program. I actually did more than the five interviews you heard, and I knew that today’s guest was one who will shift our perspective of success and help us truly redefine wealth in this season of our lives. If you are at the point of success where...

This year has shown us that with all of the negativity in the world, we have to fight to maintain an attitude of gratitude. Many of us understand the strong connection between wealth, gratitude and giving, but for those who don’t know, the concept is simple: the more you give, the more you receive. This is why I believe we all need to focus on giving in this season because giving activates abundan...

This is the final day of our week-long celebration of National Entrepreneurship Day and I am blown away by the awesome women in the Purpose 2 Platform program. You’ve heard so many amazing stories so far and today’s guest is one whose testimony will blow you away. Many purpose chasers have a story of triumph and challenge that brought them pain, but Dr. Vernell Deslonde is a woman who knew exactly...

Welcome to day four of our week-long celebration of National Entrepreneurship Day. While many of us try to take the journey alone, I can’t express the importance of community and support when stepping into entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur is 70% mental and 30% physical, and our thoughts, beliefs and state of mind play the most important role in building success and maintaining peace. Both i...
