As you might agree, I have always believed that we are all born with a purpose for a purpose on purpose. Personally, knowing my purpose at the age of ten, didn't shield me from making mistakes and learning the lessons that accompany the development of purpose. For years I have said, “no one goes to bed a blunder and wakes up a wonder.”  Each of us experiences an evolution which leads us to the courage to walk boldly in the purpose for which our work was created. I believe that only once we surrender to our purpose do we finally experience a level of alignment that brings all we crave into being. Living in purpose often takes obedience and many of us try our own way and stumble before humbly submitting to what God has always known for us.  My guest, Dr. Nicole Roberts Jones, offers us an explanation – purpose matriculates.  Just like a college freshman enters a journey that years later enables them to graduate with a degree in a discipline, there are levels to who we are and who we become.  And our ability to focus on three things -  faith, purpose and profit are the key to “graduating” with a business that honors our purpose work while also positioning us to experience the abundance we are born into. Whether your journey mirrors that of Dr Nicole who it took 17 years to hit multi-six figures or mine where I filed bankruptcy and three years later was a millionaire, one thing is for certain.  Your purpose is going to go through phases and each phase is a set up to make, move and leave millions.  If you are ready for shift the way you see yourself and your purpose, grab your pen and Move to Millions Podcast notebook and listen in now to discover: 3 keys for staying focused long enough to realize the purpose of your work Why obedience and submission are essential to your next level How to shift the way you see money so that you can allow more into your life experience 3 steps to challenge your money misconceptions And so much more   Important Links: Move to Millions Live Incredible One Enterprises DrDarnyelle.com  Move to Millions Planner Move to Millions Book Powerful Quotes from the Episode “Clarity is freeing.” “I'm someone that wants to truly help people gain for God.” “when I looked at the word prophet, the definition is to gain.” “gaining is when I do the thing that I'm called to do.” Submission means getting under God's mission   How to Connect with Dr Nicole Roberts Jones Website: www.nicolerobertsjones.com    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nrobertsjones/ Twitter: www.twitter.com/NRobertsJones Last Book Dr. Nicole Read: Esther by Charles Swindoll Favorite Quote: Your comfort zone is where purpose goes to die Tool Dr. Nicole Swears By Own Her Move to Millions:  a CRM Incredible One Enterprises, LLC is not responsible for the content and information delivered during the podcast interview by any guest.

When you hear the entrepreneurship journey of someone who is successful, you often find that there are many moments that you can relate to. That was how I felt the first time I heard Nicole Roberts Jones story about five years ago. She was sharing what the first 17 years of business looked like as she went from broke to bankable. "I couldn't afford NOT to go!", Nicole spoke about the big investment that shifted her business. In order to make the shift to become successful, she needed to do a few things. 1. Stop doing the same thing looking for a different result 2. Learn to pivot because the tools you used for the level are not sufficient for the next level. 3. Hire someone and invest at the level you want to be on4. Don't pull a Milli Vanilli on potential clients and within her network (Oh, you know who Milli Vanilli is!) "Being able to serve or help" is a popular response from many women in the coaching industry. As women, we are coached to nurture from a very early age and that same nurturing heart is what we take with us in business. While that nurturing may be what our clients need, this can often play against us in a few ways. We find ourselves not charging enough or we do not say yes to opportunities because we feel we aren't qualified. Learning to fly as we jump from a cliff seems scary but if you look at successful companies you will see that someone had to take that jump. Nicole admitted during this interview that her own ego became a hindrance to being coachable. She looks at the mistakes that she has made as an opportunity for pruning. It taught her to spend more time in silence so she could hear God clearly before making decisions. She values seedtime and harvest as it comes to her business. It shows in the success she is having after 27 years in business.

Horton.  Grief Unplugged is a podcast that frees professional women from the blockages of unresolved grief to find purpose in their pain so that they are able to embrace their new “normal” and sustain productivity at work and in life.  In the second episode or part two of my story, I detailed how I sought therapeutic support while navigating through the wilderness of grief.  But I want to go back and explain what therapeutic support means because therapeutic support is vitally important to help you to continue to move towards a place of gratitude, or even to find purpose in your pain after you have begun to give yourself permission to grieve.  You have acknowledged that your all your feelings and emotions are normal and natural, that there is nothing wrong with you.  You have begun to accept that you can’t change the past and are beginning to take action to live out this new normal but also realizing that this is a cyclical process and you have to prepare yourself for the next thing that is coming.  It is how life works.  So, therapeutic support, what does that mean?  The term therapeutic is an adjective meaning having a beneficial effect on the body and mind or producing a useful or favorable result or effect.  Support is defined as the act of helping someone by giving love, encouragement, etc. or something that holds a person or thing up and stops that person or thing from falling.  When we seek therapeutic support, we allow others to hold us accountable, and we exercise good self-care – meaning we are aware and recognize the need to make time to care for and nurture our body, our mind, and our spirit.  Time spent alone processing your grief will move you forward only so much.  You must be intentional about taking action as grief never goes away.  But life continues.  Your reaction to your triggers and emotions are what change if/when you do the grief work.  People tend to label emotions around grief as “negative” hence the grief avoidance society in which we live.   Those emotions include but are not limited to, fear, sadness, discouragement, jealousy, blame, revenge, worry, disappointment, frustration, anger, and guilt.  However, what makes any of these emotions inherently negative except perhaps the way make us feel physically?  May I submit for your consideration that there is no such thing as negative emotions.  How would your life be different if you were able to move from just coping with your emotion to leveraging your emotion for growth?  A power principle that I gained from my Coach Diversity Institute training states Emotions show us the way.  They point us to our next level of growth.  What could you learn from your emotions if you fully embraced them and all of your unique life experiences?  What would be different for you if you were able to use your emotions as a springboard to reach that place of gratitude after experiencing grief?  As a certified grief expert, I help clients process experiences that do not feel so great and help them find meaning and purpose in those events.  I help them to understand their anchor and find purpose in their pain.  Unresolved pain will continue to rear it’s ugly head until you deal with it.  It is like waste, it must come out of the body in some form or fashion.  Similarly, the pay we experience must come out of the body otherwise it is harming us.  If your trauma or grief experience were tailor-made just for you, what would the lesson be?  If your trauma or grief situation happened to make you great, what could you learn from it?  I believe my trauma experience was tailor-made for me.  I survived my accident to make manifest the glory of God that is within me.  From childhood, I have always been a deep thinker.  I was smart, but I have also presented myself to the world as a closed book.  I remember the first time in middle school when I saw the statue of Le Penseur in my French textbook.  It portrayed how I saw myself perfectly – head down, hand under chin, sitting slightly bent forward deep in thought.  I was never one to share my thoughts openly unless I was forced to share.  Either I didn’t think my idea was smart enough to capture anyone’s attention or I didn’t think the receiver was worthy of hearing my breath. However, the day of my accident in 2005 was the beginning of my Awakening, my journey from Heather 1.0 to Heather 2.0.  My training with Coach Diversity Institute took the shame I felt about my traumatic experiences and brought my voice to light.  Coach Diversity Institute placed the microphone in my hand to help me to begin to share my story with others and make a choice to live an abundant and purposeful life by leveraging my emotions to find my power or reclaim my power.  I was reminded that I already knew how to overcome any challenge that crossed my path.  It has taken me more than twelve years to get to this point despite my varied professional experiences over the past 18 years.  My story of resilience in the face of adversity is rerouting the trajectory of individual lives, empowering communities from diverse backgrounds and ultimately changing the world.   When people, professional women, begin to release the pain, the guilt and the shame that they carry around with them daily, through the transformative power of coaching, professional women, particularly women of color and marginalized communities, can begin to dismantle injustice and create systemic change in our lives and in the world.  When you find you are experiencing grief or any of the other emotions I described earlier that are associated with grief, I want you to use this exercise to shift your mindset from being powerless to being powerful. The shift can happen in an instant.  I want you to close your eyes and imagine that grief is a guest of yours in a beautiful setting, maybe a park or a garden.  Take a few deep cleansing breaths to center yourself.  Imagine that you are having grief over for a cup of tea or your favorite non-alcoholic beverage.  What questions would you like to ask grief?  If you could name grief, what would call it?  I want you to gently engage grief by asking questions of it and take your time to listen for the answers.  You could ask questions like what is your intent?  How do you plan to hinder me today? What are you doing here?  What do you want from me?  What do you want me to learn from you? What are you offering me today?  What do you want me to know?  What do you want to show me about myself?   When you have all of the answers you need and the time comes for a visit to end, thank grief for stopping by and escort it out the door.  When you open your eyes, I want you to take a moment to journal your insights so you can refer back to your journal as necessary when grief returns.  Know that you can always invite any emotion to tea and visit with them and escort that emotion out the door when you are done.       Power is the ability to co-create the future by standing present in the moment connected by your purpose, vision, desires, and acting by trusting your creative impulses.  Standing in your power means not allowing the past, current reality, systems of oppression or anyone or anything else define who you are.  Power is being able to chart your way forward no matter what happens.  How will you activate your power going forward? I want to thank you for listening to this episode. I hope you will join us for our next episode of the Grief Unplugged podcast.  I truly believe that community = strength.  So, if you want to engage further with our community, you can join our private FB group, Professional Women Transcending Grief or if you are interested in one-on-one support, email me at heather@heatherdhorton.com to get more information about my 90-day intensive grief coaching program, Reclaiming Your Power.   To stay engaged with the podcast or learn more about my products and services, access my website at www.heatherdhorton.com.

Hello & welcome to the Grief Unplugged podcast. I am your host, Heather D. Horton.  Grief Unplugged is a podcast that frees professional women from the blockages of grief to find purpose in their pain. Our last episode focused on giving yourself permission to grieve.  But how does one maintain momentum after giving yourself permission to grieve?  One of the first steps is by leaning into your faith and facing your fear.  Fear and faith cannot live in the same house.  One of the powerful principles that I received during my training with Coach Diversity Institute states – We receive only as much as our faith will allow (REPEAT).  Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see according to Hebrews 11:1 (NIV).  Whatever your faith, belief is a powerful tool. Faith in the process, even in yourself, is powerful and important.  For me, faith is everything; it is my foundation.  In 2005, my faith and what I believed in was tested to the utmost.  On May 17, 2005, I was involved in a single-car accident that claimed the life of my mother one day after the accident and my aunt two weeks later when a relative fell asleep at the wheel while driving long distance.  My injuries were quite severe but not life-threatening – fractured neck, fractured thumb, cuts, bruises, and abrasions.  For weeks after the accident and the funeral, I kept asking God why am I here, why didn’t I die in the accident, how am I supposed to live without my mother, my best friend.  One day I was reading my devotional as I did most days after the accident to try and make sense of things, and the scripture of the day gave me a reason to keep living.  It was John 16:33 – I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.  In this world, you will have trouble.  But take heart! I have overcome the world.  I begin to recall other scriptures that I constantly used to ground myself throughout my life – No weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17); I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13), God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7); For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11); All things work together for the good of them that love the Lord, that are called according to His purpose.  That last verse, Romans 8:28, was, in fact, the exact scripture that my mother’s pastor spoke from when delivering her eulogy.  What I began to realize as I focused on all of these verses was that the accident that I experienced was all God-orchestrated and that He had prepared me to go through if I was able to stand firm in my faith.  I want you to think about the last time you experienced trauma/loss, and I guarantee you if you look back six months, one year, two years, there were clear instances of things that happened that you now realize, oh that’s why that happened.  God was preparing you for whatever you went through, or He prepared you for whatever you are going through or for whatever you are about to go through.  God prepared me for the trauma I experienced in May 2005 and even when I survived Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, three months later.  I had a lot of time to think while I recovered from my injuries.  When I looked back on my life experiences six months, one year, two years before, I could see clear instances of things that happened where I could say I didn’t understand it then, but now I understand why that happened.  God was preparing me to live without my mother when after my unexpected surgery in 2004, my dad, not my mother, spent two weeks with me in DC helping me to recover.  That had never happened before.  Another God-orchestrated move occurred when I received a firm job offer in New Orleans when I was pursuing opportunities to work in DC after graduating from GULC with my LLM in Tax.  What I didn’t know but came to realize later was that job in New Orleans gave me the opportunity to spend the last year of my mother’s life near her instead of being long distance.  We saw each other almost every weekend during that time.  Because of these and many more God-orchestrated experiences, I chose to live that day.  Knowing that my faith in God had prepared me to handle the trauma/loss that I experienced in 2005, that his plans were not to harm me, but to prepare me for my future, for such a time as this, healing began, and I could face my fear. Fear is one of the many faces of grief and also one of the pitfalls of grief.  Because we are dealing with new or unfamiliar territory after we experience trauma/loss, fear can cause anxiety and stress (another pitfall of grief) that keeps us stuck if not acknowledged.  If not dealt with, fear can paralyze you.  Let me remind you that fear and faith cannot live in the same house and you must choose one or the other.   What is the purpose of fear?  For some it is survival, protection, it is what drives us.   Fear gives us the excuse not to be powerful, to do something different.  But on the on the other side of fear is freedom – one of the power principles I received from CDI.  When I let go of my fear after experiencing trauma I was able to experience freedom – I was able to take off my mask that I didn’t even know I was wearing.  I didn’t feel safe to be my true self.  On the outside, I projected one persona to the world after my accident.  On the inside, lived my pain, my flaws and my shame of what happened.  Once I healed physically, I wanted to forget that 2005 ever happened.  I refused to share my experience with the world because I thought my suffering was all about me.  I actually tried to hide my scars and fly under the radar.  I thought sharing would expose me to the world in a way that would leave me open and vulnerable.  However, my experiences while training with Coach Diversity Institute re-opened my wounds and showed me that I am the cure to someone else’s cancer.  I can save a life with my story.  I suffered trauma/loss but now I have found my purpose to restore hope and change mindsets globally, one person at a time.  I now help individuals in diverse communities release their hurt, shame and pain after suffering any type of loss.  What if you were able to develop a different relationship with fear?  What if you embraced fear as fuel that could lead to your greatest transformation or your greatest moment in life?  What if fear only showed up for no other purpose but for you to notice it?  How would you react to fear differently?   The author of the book Return to Love, Marianne Williamson said it best – “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” I want to thank you for listening to this episode.
