In this episode, I share the uncut, unedited, unfiltered inner debate I overcame through the workings of my FAITH during my entrepreneurial journey. I hope those of you who feel the dream you are in high pursuit of is much BIGGER than yourself. Find the faith, go all in, and go big! And Manifest its reality. I am referencing the kind of dreams that money alone wouldn't be enough for you to achieve. The type of dream that could carve your mark in history, create disruption from the norm, or perhaps change the financial trajectory of your family for generations to come. The kind of dream God whispers to your soul, and you can't let go. Yet, we struggle with the process of the promise of the business, being the ones chosen to break the generational patterns. Overcoming poverty and becoming the first millionaire in your family, or becoming the first to marry, go to college, or receive a direct download to create what has never been done and heal the community through a product or a plan of empowerment. A Platinum Promise, but do you believe that you hold within yourself the capacity, if required, to go platinum with no features?

In this episode I unmask the perception of me and share the impact 2022 has had on my life overall. Listen in as I share with you how being real with myself actually played a vital role in my healing. 2022 taught me why facing our own shadows is necessary for true healing. For the longest I believed I was healing from the hurt others inflicted upon me not fully aware until I began to take my healing beyond surface understanding, that the world outside of us is only a reflection of the world within us. So often we hear change the people, places and things. When what needs healed is the perception of our old narratives, the mindset and projections we reflect outwardly about ourselves .
