Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Today we celebrate day three in our week-long extension of National Entrepreneurship Day. So far we’ve heard from two women in my signature program Purpose 2 Platform who taught us how to stop shrinking ourselves and tell our story. In this episode, we’re learning how to trust the process and our guest is a woman who took a leap of faith, fully embraced her purpose and is now able to establish gen...

In honor of National Entrepreneurship Day, we continue to celebrate the amazing entrepreneurial minded women in my community, particularly highlighting those in my signature coaching program, Purpose 2 Platform. There are so many great stories and testimonies of women who have used their trials to propel them into their purpose.   When women show up and support each other, it’s incredible to watch...

There are so many national days of celebration, but I recently learned that November 17th is National Entrepreneurs Day. This day is centered around highlighting and celebrating entrepreneurship throughout the country and sharing the stories of those who took a leap of faith, endured the challenges and trials of building a business, and designed their ideal lifestyle. The work pillar is all about...

How many times have you allowed validation from others to determine your self-worth? How many times have your decisions been based on what someone else thought was best for you? I’ve met so many Purpose Chasers who have accepted the choices and opinions of others as validation regarding how they live their lives. Placing limiting beliefs on themselves and refusing to claim their power, I’ve watche...

When was the last time you took inventory on how you genuinely feel? What isn’t working for you in this season or preventing you from who you say you want to become? It’s time we get to the root of what or who or where your peace is being robbed, and it can often be a result of how you master your personal margin. Personal margin is the difference between your time and energy that results in peace...

I believe that when you are unfulfilled in the thing that you do everyday, it has a detrimental impact on your finances. One of my goals this quarter is to help you establish clarity around your purpose so that you can focus on what’s next and truly build wealth. When I was introduced to our guest this week, I knew that she would be the catalyst that you needed to hear from to drive you toward bui...

It goes without saying that we all had big plans as to what this year would bring. We walked into 2020 with a certainty that this would be our year, but then a global pandemic emerged, followed by unprecedented job loss and one of the greatest social justice uprisings of modern times. Although many of this year’s events were unplanned, it is important to always look for the lesson or blessing in t...

Are you spending next month’s money to cover this month's expenses? If so, no matter how much money you make, you are living paycheck to paycheck. I want you to have the best year possible and as we continue in this fourth quarter, it is imperative that we are strategic and intentional about how we finish this year. So many of us live paycheck to paycheck and we don’t even know it, but we still ha...

With so much going on the world, I have to acknowledge the fact that people are being stretched. Between finances, mental health, physical health, and personal challenges, we have been forced to stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zones, expand our thinking and open our minds in order to find a new normal. Some of us are embracing the stretch voluntarily, while others are trying to run away from...

What if what you’ve been hoping for relies on your perseverance? What if you could accomplish your goals in the next 90 days?  Instead of waiting for 2021, what if you started today to shift and adapt to the behaviors that support you the most? Last week we ended our “Faith Works” series and I hope and pray that it helped prepare you spiritually to fight through what’s in store. I know that my fai...

This is the last episode in our “Faith Works” series and before we head into the last quarter of 2020, I wanted to set you up with a solid foundation. The Faith Pillar has contributed to so much of my success, and I know that if you take the time to develop your faith pillar, you will achieve success as well. Today’s guest takes Faith to a new level and chooses to redefine her life through prayer....

Here in the Redefining Wealth community, we have what I like to call the six pillars of wealth. Each pillar is designed to help us achieve our definition of wealth, which is overall well-being, as we continue to chase purpose. Right now, you have caught us in the middle of our Faith Pillar series entitled “Faith Works”. In this 3-part series, I’m tapping into connecting with guests and resources t...

Today we celebrate three amazing years here at Redefining Wealth! We launched this podcast on September 14, 2017, and now, 165 episodes later, we continue in our mission to teach this generation that wealth is not merely about money or material possessions, but that wealth is truly the condition of well-being. Three years ago, I had no idea we would be where we are today and I am so grateful and h...

It’s our Anniversary Eve episode! Next week will be our three year anniversary here at Redefining Wealth, which means we are celebrating three years of teaching you that wealth is so much more than money and material possessions. Here in this community, we believe in the original definition of wealth – the condition of well being. In order for us to achieve overall well-being, we first need to ack...

Let me ask you something a bit personal … Have you received your census questionnaire in the mail and have you completed it? Or are you like so many others who received their questionnaire and tossed it in the trash – along with all the reminders? You see, when it comes to the census, many of us don’t think it’s important or we think it’s the government’s way of trying to invade our privacy, so we...

Are you stingy when it comes to your money, or do you give it away generously? For most people, when it comes to tithing, they’re more on the stingy side of things. At least that’s where today’s guest, Bob Lotich was back in the day. Fortunately, though, with the help of his wife, Bob moved from stingy to generous giver, and by age 31, was giving 31% of his income away. I know what you’re thinking...

Are you one of those people who lives paycheck to paycheck? Or worse, paycheck to Monday, where you get paid on Friday and by Monday it’s already gone? Do your spending habits cause you to spend more money than you make? Are you ashamed to show your bank statement to your children? If you’re answering yes to any of these questions, then today’s episode is one you don’t want to miss. Before her suc...

When it comes to student loans, I bet you either have them, have paid them off or you know somebody who has them. And I’ve got to ask, whatever your experience is with them, do you think that taking on debt to pay for an education is a smart move? Or is there a better way? According to Anthony ONeal, there is. Anthony, bestselling author of Debt-Free Degree, The Graduate Survival Guide and Destroy...

Are you taking “how you show up in the world” for granted, especially when it’s time to get the support you desire?   Are you clear on how people can support you?   Are you praying for support, but then too prideful to vocalize you need help?   Are you allowing your irrational fears to turn you into an irresponsible steward?   If you’re nodding your head YES right now, I want you to know this:   T...

Do you know the difference between expectation and expectancy? For many people, these two words are interchangeable.   Expectation means you have a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. This is what we anticipate, what we desire, what we wish for. Expectancy is a feeling something is going to happen – it’s the feeling you have when you’re expecting something.   For...

Has the past stopped you from moving forward? Did you do something in your 20s or 30s that you’re now ashamed of?  For many people, the worry and fear around the thing they’re ashamed of is the reason they never move forward. Think of it like this, you’re afraid to build something because the truth of your past will come out and it could potentially damage you, so you don’t even try. Then there’s...

Have you ever put something off or not taken the next step simply because you were confused about what came next? Well, I’m pretty sure all of us have done this at one point or another. The problem with this is when we’re not clear on what comes next, we often do one of two things. We either become information-gathers who run around in circles or we do nothing at all.  But here’s the thing, in lif...

When you think about your story and how it’s made you who you are today, are there parts you’re ashamed to share?  For many of us, there’s often something we don’t want to talk about. Maybe you came from an abusive home and your parents were alcoholics. Maybe you suffered from depression and put on a lot of weight as a result. Maybe your business failed and you had to file for bankruptcy. Whatever...

Have you ever wondered why so many of us struggle with having difficult conversations? Whether we go into people-pleasing mode or we check out of the conversation altogether to avoid further confrontation, many of us find these types of conversations extremely uncomfortable. According to today’s guest, Kwame Christian, conflict is always an opportunity, and it’s difficult conversations that lead u...

As we head into Father’s Day, I wanted to do a special episode for all of our Black men out there. I know 2020 has already been a year of changes and challenges, and I want to give all of you listening hope as I speak to what you might be experiencing.  To help me do this, I’ve invited Jeff Johnson, founder of Men Thrive – a digital platform dedicated to helping Black men of all ages show up whole...
