Dare2Dream Podcast

Run like a girl.  It was a movie,  What Women Want,  starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. Hele was an Add Executive and pitched a Nike commercial about women running… 

 At the gym, in television ads and just in my mind's eye I see a lot of women running,  No I see myself running. In fact I have envy did the app couch to 5k. and I’ll one day soon run a 5k, but I know one thing for sure… I’ll be running it like a girl

There is a 2-time Olympic gold medalist and 2-time world soccer cup winner  Mia Hamm and she says and I quote.

“My coach said I run like a girl and I said if He ran a little faster, He could too.”

I want to share with you a couple of things and I’ll give you an update on my goals for those you don't know I'm going to reach for them - I have posted them this time, these are my goals and I'm going to be sharing them at #D2DCareers and I'm going to give you an update in a minute. 

Also, want to do a mini class on mindset. We’re going to talk about pray it, believe it, and receive it, and then a preview of my Manifest Your 6-Figure Dream Job Self-Study Program that I am launching at the beginning of March. So, I hope you can join me! I'm going to invite some of my friends to come and join us as we sit here and gather together. So, update on my goals - so this year what I did is, I broke them down, and so my vision versus a vision board is to be fit and to get 350k in sales in my business, and my bucket list. And so, what does that mean? So be fit for me is financially fit, it is physically fit, emotionally and mentally fit, not just from a physical standpoint.

And so today is the 22nd, and I have actually worked out about 20 days out of 22 days, and so I am really proud of that I worked out that amount. And so, I feel like it makes it easier to get to work out, just simply because of the fact that I don't have to get up in the morning and go and work outside of the home. I have more flexibility of my time, and I have the ability to reset my schedule at the end of the day when my days should start and so for that I am grateful.

The second thing is emotionally and mentally. I will tell you to be honest, and transparent, I have not kept up with my emotional standpoint with my journaling, not as well as I like to, and taking and setting aside time in the morning to do that, and so that's one of the things I think that I have really had to get going with is my journaling. So, I'm not sure if any of you have been journaling along with me, but definitely, if you have, I'd like to know how you’ve been doing with it, and how you kept up with it, or what challenge you're having with it as well. If you watch this later on when it's a recording and it's not live any longer, feel free at the end of the day to respond, because I want to do what's necessary not only to help you but also to help me because I found it challenging.

So, my other goal is my 350k in sales. And so really this tonight is in part to share with you a little bit about that course, and so my prayer and hope is that what I find is, is that the coaching that I offer that everyone can take advantage of it, that everyone really wants to do one on one coaching, and some people have a different price point. So, to help in two things, I have packaged my course in a self-study program, and I am so excited about it, it is in the final stages. I'm going to be doing some videoing on February 1st, I will also send a link, reserve a link for this post, that you can take a look at it.

And I will tell you if you look at this video and you send me an email and it says “I am all in” – “I am all in” - I'm going to say it twice in this! I will give you further - exclusively for my community - $100 off of the preview price. So, if you send me an email to [email protected], and the email says “I am all in”, I will give you an additional $100 off of the cost of that course in the preview price. That's right! So, if you're looking at this either now or later, and you want to give it as a gift, as a graduation gift, or anything else, I'm telling you, this course is valued at $2,400, and I am letting it go for a steal.

So, the next goal is my bucket list. And so, I have plans in place to accomplish some of those things on my bucket list. And so, I am an avid reader, as you could tell probably from my background, but and that's back there, I'm an avid reader, and I would say I love the library. So, one of the things that I decided for myself was, that I was going to visit all the presidential libraries that we have, and so I have plans to visit three of them by the middle of the year. It's not my intention to do this all at once, but it is definitely my intention to get it done in the next few years.

The next thing is to go to the beach on a quarterly basis. I might have plans to go home on Mother's Day to visit my mom. We will be in California and in Hawaii in June and have some other plans as well for the rest of the year. So, I am getting my traveling in, I'm getting my bucket list items in, and girlfriend is busy! So, I'm not sure - I would love to hear how you are doing with your goals and your plans and vision on your resolutions for this year as well as we both - all of us jointly together pray for one another that we would continue that we would just continue with what plans that we've laid before us for 2019.

And so let’s embark on the mini class on this has been on my heart and I actually wrote this note and I find that when I'm in church I have a saying it is “good meat makes its own gravy”, and so when I am getting a good word, typically I am able to write down some thoughts and it triggers, so if the minister and the pastor is talking about a sometimes it will take me to B and C and D and then I just keep going with whatever word that is. And so, I hope you receive this, and not just as I give it to you, but that you would take it from here and go to B, C, and D, and implement it in some way shape or form in your life.

And so, it's about mindset, because this year for me my word for 2019 is “forward”, and so everything that I want to do and accomplish is all about moving forward. And so, pray it, believe it, and receive it. In Mark chapter 11 verse 24, we find these words - and I'm going to read it in two versions - first in the NIV: “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have it, receive it, and it will be yours.” and then an amplified version: “For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confidence and trust] that you will have them, you will receive them, and they will be given to you.” Amen? So, let me read that again “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have it, receive it, and it will be yours.” “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have it, receive it, and it will be yours.”

And so first, the thing is that we have to think about is we have to pray, and so for those of you who have been following me you know that prayer and meditation in journaling over the scriptures is very key. I have written a book about prayer in a devotional Journal entitled “Real Girlfriends Pray Devotional Journal” which is a 21-Day activity to help you to establish a habit of prayer, journaling, and meditating. And so that's where we start every single day, and prayer doesn't have to be something that you make a big effort to do.

Literally, you can pray to your windshield! It is something that I believe so strongly in is praying to my windshield and so you too can do that you can pray to your windshield. You can pray in the bathtub, you can pray in the shower, you can pray when you are waiting at a red light for it to turn green, you can pray right before you go to bed or right when you wake up in the morning, you can pray when you're riding the bike at the gym, or when you are exercising, when you're doing weights, when you're on the treadmill, when you're on the elliptical, when you're on the stair machine, whatever it is you are doing when you are folding clothes, when you are putting clothes away, you can pray. I believe that prayer without ceasing is what God wants us to do. It helps with our mindset, and it helps to get our mind right. Then once you pray it, whatever it is that you pray, believe that it will happen, believe that it will come to pass, believe that it is possible, and it will happen, but you got to believe it.

Scripture tells us “I believe, but help thou my unbelief” so what does that mean? That really means is that we wholeheartedly on the surface want to believe, but we also know that sometimes we doubt God's possibilities and God's gifts that he has stored up for us. But I ask you wholeheartedly that you would believe without ceasing, and without fail, and then we say receive it, so once you pray it, once you believe it, then you got to receive it. And so, let me break it down to you this way. It's as if you say that you want a new car. You're driving a car already, and you're going to have to turn that car in. I have a friend of mine that did this very thing. She prepared herself for the new car, so she knew she wasn't sure exactly how was going to work out, but what she did and she got up in the morning, she cleaned out her car inside and out, cleaned out all of her personal belongings, so that when she went to the car dealer, not knowing what the answer was going to be - whether she be able to get the car not - she made herself ready to receive it.

And so that's what God wants from you, God wants you to be ready to receive his Blessing, and so if you say if you're single, and you say I really, really want to get married, I really want a blessed man who believes in God, who goes to church, who has a good job, or whatever it is that you desire, then you got to make yourself ready to be the kind of woman that the man is that you desire. So, you've got to make yourself ready for that at the end of the day, and you got to let go of baggage that's associated with preventing you from being available to receive that gift if that's what you desire, and God wants for you.

And so, I don't know what it is that you've been praying about, what you need to believe, but you also need to make yourself ready. For example, if you live in an apartment and you lived in an apartment for a long time, do you have the money saved for a house? Have you thought about it? Have you gotten prequalified for a lo

I say make today a Dare2Dream Day. Not just this day, but every day. I have a couple of things I just want to pop in and share with you.

The first is, of course, happy Thursday, the second thing is, is that this morning I had prayer! I don't know if you were able to make it or not, but I want to tell you I'm inviting you every single Thursday morning at 7 a.m. And I'll check to see if anyone logs in at 7 p.m., but I'm not necessarily going to advertise 7 p.m. unless it's one of those days where I'm traveling west and can't make the 7 a.m. prayer. But if you pop on, I will join you there at 7 p.m.

So today I talked about being enough, and not just enough, but more than enough that we are more than enough. God enables us to do so many wonderful things because of His word, and I want to share with you just a couple of scriptures that I shared this morning, and then I want to share with you two special things if that's okay.

So, first in Genesis 1:27 we find these words and I'm reading my notes so please forgive me if I'm looking directly at you in the screen. “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” And then in Psalm 139:16 we find these words “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Isn't that amazing? That God already had ordained all of our days, and they were written down before we ever even came into being.

And then I'll just give you another little peek - in 1st Peter 2:9 says “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of the darkness into the marvelous light.” And if this isn't proof that you are not just enough, but you are more than enough, for whatever is coming at you, coming to you, whatever is for you, know that you will rise to it, on this and every day, because God says in his word that it is true, and whatever is in his word, it is so. So, know that going forward no matter what, you or are not only enough, but you are more than enough.

And so, I want to share with you a couple of things. The first thing I want to share with you so I'm so excited about, hopefully, you've already seen it posted. If you haven't, I am offering something amazing for March Madness. And for those of you don't know what March Madness is, March Madness is actually when the basketball tournament begins for the NCAA. And it’s the men’s tournament, although the women are also playing, and going to the Final Four and all that, but it’s called March Madness because literally, it is all of these games happening all at one time.

So, in honor of March Madness, what I am doing is I am actually doing and launching Dare2Dream Mentoring. And so, if you read my email you know already that my mom called me and asked me “what was I thinking”. You have to schedule and click on the link to be a part of it. I hope you do it and take advantage of this.

We are going to be sharing some great content about questions that you have about your job search, about anything that you want to know related to that, and we're going to start at the very beginning. So, on March 4th we're going to start with Mindset, and so it's a powerful impact full discussion I'm expecting to have with you, and I truly hope that you'll be able to join me for this amazing price. And I will guarantee you that never ever ever ever ever again will I offer something for

It literally is madness, but I am so passionate about what I do, not only that, but I want to make sure that you're able to participate and I don't want there to be any barriers to you doing that. The price is going to go up to $5.88 and then it'll be a subscription process after that.

The next thing I want to be with you is this amazing event that I'm going to that my mentor Lisa Sasevich - my business mentor - is putting on for the last time. And it is called “Speak To Sell”, it is a live event, it is May 30th through June 1st in San Diego. I already communicated to you, just my family and my friends and my community here at Dare2Dream, I'm going to put another link below, if you want to participate for $197, I can meet you there. I'm already going, I have my ticket, and I'll be there.

But let me tell you what Lisa has allowed me to be able to do. Literally, I have been challenged with something called “Heaven Level” and it’s related to what I deserve and what I believe God is going to bless me with. And so what Lisa allowed me to do was literally give myself a raise. In addition to that, in a short amount of time, since the beginning of November that I’ve been working with Lisa Sasevich in her Mastermind program, is that I've been able to grow my business leaps and bounds.

I didn't know that I was going to need to resign from my position to be able to do all this wonderful work, but her tools, her Mastermind her process, has given me the ability to make it happen quicker than I ever thought possible. And so, I am giving you this exclusive invitation that is only for family and friends of people who are already a part of Lisa Sasevich’s community, and I want you to be a part of it too. So, if you think that speaking will help your ministry, it will help your business, or it will help you grow professionally, I believe it will, I'm inviting you to take advantage.

So until we meet again, next time when I'm live, I want to hear from you, because I'm always praying, and I want to continue to encourage you, but I've got to know that the stuff that I am putting out really matters to you, and if you want to hear something else, or if you want to engage with me in a different way.

So, keep looking, keep listening, there will be many many more opportunities for us to connect. There’s also something else special happening later in March that I want to make sure you're part of as well. But take advantage of the Dare2Dream Mentoring Program, I hope to see you online here in the community responding, engaging each other, encouraging each other, with our dreams and our aspirations, but most of all I want you to know whatever you do, keep making your dreams happen. I'm praying for you. Until next time, take care.

Scripture reference: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

Genesis 1:27

“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

Psalm 139:16

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

1 Peter 2:9

It is a season of wishes and making wishes come true. And that is exactly what I hope to be able to do for you, I call My People, My Tribe, those who are out there daring to dream each and every day. Those who have followed me, those who have responded to calls, those who have encouraged me with words, I want to encourage you just a little bit right now.

Plan for your 2019, that you're able to have your best year ever. Best year ever in 2019. Because that's what I'm hoping for myself, and I really want nothing less than that for you. So, I'm going to let you in on a secret, next year I am claiming it right now in 2018 - 2019 will be my best year ever. 2019 is the year of my best year ever! And I hope that you're able to go along on the journey with me. 

So, let me tell you why making wishes come true is so important. Just like last week, I was with a client, we were in a coaching session online, and she said to me that she wished she had had this information last year, or even earlier this year. And so, then I remark to myself I wish that I had someone to work with me as I work with my clients, to help them achieve their dream jobs sooner than they could on their own. And I do concur with that. And so, her which was literally in our conversation, that she could have had this sooner. So, my wish for you is that you can have it sooner than you thought. You really can!

And so, let me tell you a little bit about this program. So, Manifest Your 6-Figure Dream Job - I know all of you have heard something about it, if you haven’t and you’re hearing it for the very first time, I am happy to be sharing my blessing with you before 2018 turns to 2019.

So, I want you to know that it is a one-on-one Dare2Dream Coaching Program to help you land your six-figure job sooner than you could on your own. So, my lifelong goal has always been to leave this world a better place than I found it, and that's really part of the reason why I'm doing this work, is to help me to honor my purpose and my call, by sharing with you my blessing.

So, what I realized that in my nine-to-five job, I was not able to really fulfill and answer my call. I was limited by the constraints established by the position, due to no fault of their own, but I decided to take a leap of faith, and I founded Dare2Dream earlier this year, and so I have no regrets. I do sometimes get anxious and have some fears, but I remind myself every single day of the conversations, like the one I should have with you, that I get to do this, I get to live out my purpose, I get to share my blessing every single day.

So, in the spirit of making wishes come true, my one wish for you is that you have no regrets, and you are able to live your six-figure dream job by landing in this program and live your six-figure dream job and life now. You might be wondering how can that happen? I have to answer for you. Right now, I want to help you to take advantage, and to stop wishing and start doing. And I'm offering you an opportunity to take advantage of the blessing that I have been given to share with the world. And this is for you if you're looking to have your best year ever in 2019. It's for you if you're tired of wasting your time in the wrong job, you're sick of not having enough money, you're ready to take a vacation, you're embarrassed to even by your job title, or the lack of a job title, you are feeling like a failure, you are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

You see the Dare2Dream 5-day Dream Job Challenge you'll learn how to manifest your six-figure mindset, be intentional and proactive, get clarity, get unstuck, discover your dream job, and get on track with your dream job search in 2019. So, if you're like many of us, we have time off coming up - what are you going to do with your time off? You might have even received some gifts. Better yet you might be wondering do you need another pair of shoes? Do you need another purse? Another anything? No.

It is time for you to take hold and have your best year ever. I'm sure, I am sure in fact, that you might even be searching for an answer, and if you find yourself in that place, and you're looking for something to help you get on track to where you know you deserve to be, and if you are thinking that you wish you had someone earlier this year, last year, or like me, in your twenties, to help you get on the right track with your dream job, and to get your six figures now, then the link below, or above, or in my bio, you can connect with me at [email protected] and I will send you the information. If you can't find the link below or above, check it out, I will say to you that stop wishing and start doing.

But take hold and make sure that in 2019 that you get started with your best year ever.

I'm so glad you took the time to listen to this if you have any questions check out my website. I have a podcast and a bunch of things that are going to be happening in 2019, and I'm just so excited that I get to do this work, and you get to be on the journey with me.   Take care, see you soon.

I am glad that I am here, and I just figured I'd pop in to say hello, and drop a little bit of what I've been thinking about and what was happening. So, I was just looking at my own goals for this year.  Glad you could join! And I want to just jot down 6 things, 6 things to help you achieve your goals in 2019.

We have the entire year, but I don't want you to let what happened last year happen again for you this year.

1 - Set A Goal That You Want To Achieve. It’s so much easier when it's something that we really want to do. And so, for me, if you've been watching me go live, and you've been looking at some of my posts, I have three big goals this year, and they are, to be fit (which is a bunch of things), goals related to my business, and also goals related to my bucket list. And so, I have been reviewing those on a weekly basis to help make it happen, and so first, you got to create some goals that you want to achieve.

2 - Assess How You Will Get There. Figure it out. What are the steps? What are the big milestones to getting there? And so, I'll share with you that one of my big goals is to improve my health. But that's just too generic. Literally, it comes down to BMI, it comes down to weight, and it comes down to all of your healthy numbers. Considering that, then you say how do I move the needle from where I am, to where I want to be, and then that's a real goal. And so, setting the exact result that you're looking for, and also setting a time.

3 - Make It SMART. I know you probably heard this before if you don't know what it is, I'm telling you Google is my friend. And smart really is that it’s specific. But I also read something recently that said that smart is just not it's not just that, it's not just specific as the first word, but it is also written and measured, and so this is what makes it smart. And you're measuring your progress along the way, and so if I move the needle just a little bit, so I'll say I weigh myself today, and I lost 3 lbs., and so I'm taking the ground that I made, and I am happy about it. ! How are you? Good to see you!

The next thing is, it must be attainable. It must be something that you can really do. So, I'm not going to lose 50 lbs. in a week, it's impossible! So why set myself up for that failure? And so, make sure that it's something that is attainable. The other thing it has to be realistic, right? And so realistic for you might be different for me, but also just do your own personal litmus, to say that your goal is realistic.

It also must be time bound. You must set a timeline to achieve it. Hey! How are you guys doing? You must set a timeline to achieve it, because at the end of the day, if you don't, then it's not real. So, make it smart is number three. Specific, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.

4 - Make A Plan. Actually, make a plan! Think about it. So, we make plans on our job, we make plans and all the places that we go, but we fail to make those kinds of plans in our own life for the things that we think are really important. So, make a plan! Put it on your calendar, put in your planner, on your phone, put a sticky note on your mirror, put it wherever you need to put it so that you can remember. And set some time aside on to review it. So not just plan it, but also to review it on a regular basis. So, for me, I happen to review my goals on a weekly basis. That might be too much for you. You might only want to review your goals on a bi-monthly basis or monthly basis. But whatever it is, make sure that you do you put it on your calendar, because if you don't put it in your calendar, it's not real.

5 – Adjust As You Go. Yes, you have to adjust as you go. So maybe you need to adjust your activities or what you’re doing, maybe you need to adjust the fact that what you're doing isn't working, maybe you need to go back and get some help, maybe you need to get some research, a read a book. Whatever it is that you need to do, considering the fact that this is a goal that you wanted to achieve, keep at it.

6 - Celebrate Your Success. When you achieve something, celebrate, but don't make your celebration something that will undermine your success, either. So, let me give you a clue. So, as I said, I lost 3 lbs., right? So, my success cannot be related to food, because that is going to undermine what I've been able to accomplish. So, keep that in mind.

And so, Smart Goals – how are you going to achieve your goals in 2019? Let's just do a quick review, and I'll let you go.

Identify a goal that you really want to attain. Assess what it will take to get there. Make a plan. Put it on your calendar. Adjust as you go along. Make it smart, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and well-timed, and then celebrate along the way.

And there you have it! You’ll be on your way to accomplishing your goals! If you want to connect and learn more, visit me on my website, check me out the next time I go live, I'm looking forward to seeing you giving me some feedback about these little tidbits, and little tidbits that you may want to hear something about. So, enjoy the rest of your day, I'm just dropping in. Take care, bye bye.

Although all of the pieces were in place, she one day she woke up and realized she was missing something.

Podcast Transcript

Lisa: “Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, Dare2Dream! Today I have a super treat for us. We have, for the first time to the Dare2Dream audience, Yalonda Haywood. And she is “The Breakout Expert”.

She is a wife, a mother, a minister, an author, speaker, and business life coach. That's a lot of stuff that she’s got going on! As a child, she was creatively gifted and always knew she was meant for more. After finishing high school; she did what was expected. She pursued her undergraduate studies, received her MBA, built a great six-figure corporate career, and started a family with the love of her life.

Although all of the pieces were in place, she one day woke up and realized she was missing something. While being successful at doing what was normal and expected, she had failed at doing what was authentic, purposeful, divine, and fulfilling. One day, while on a business trip, she simply heard the words, “Your pain has a purpose. With each trial, I taught you to break out and keep going. You are an expert at breaking out.”

Now she teaches others to do the same. That's when the break-out expert was born! Yalonda decided to partner with God, as she repurposed her pain and became a business life coach, dedicated to helping others break free. Through her trademark system T.R.U.T.H. spelled out T-R-U-T-H; she lives and transforms relationships and restores businesses and helps them remove barriers through careers and repurposing their pain.

And the possibilities just say that they are simply limitless. Her mission, “No More Walls”, she is determined to help others Break Free of every invisible wall that is holding them back while teaching them how to get gain a keen E&W IQ™, and she's going to have to tell us more about what that is.  And yes, a sharp emotional and worth intelligence. So, that's enough to say Amen! And so, without further ado, I am going to ask that our guest, Yalonda Haywood, the breakout expert, tell us first what is the secret to your success?”

Yalonda: “Well firstly, let me say thank you so much for having me today. I consider it an honor and the privilege to connect with you and your listeners. The secret to my success, I honestly feel can be summed up in one word - or two - Leap and Trust. Anytime I have ever hit another level, it required me to trust in God, to trust in the gifts, skills, talents, abilities that He has blessed me with, and then simply to leap.

I know that I have a way of getting in my own head, which will allow me to get in my own way. And so, I have to leap. I have to go; I can't stay stagnant. I firmly believe that God is able to correct my course when I’m moving. But when I am standing still, He can't correct me, because I'm not walking forward in the faith that I proclaim and profess.”

Lisa: “That’s awesome! So, tell me, and our listeners here at Dare2Dream. I know that, as I was introducing you to our audience, that you are also not just a wife, a mother, but you're also a minister. So, tell us a little bit about how you connect with God and what you do on a daily basis, and tell us about, maybe if you have a routine that that's associated with.”

Yalonda: “So, let me just say, I feel like God has always been a part of my life. So, becoming a minister for me just, it really was a way of allowing the world to know what God and I already knew. It was our secret and we just shared it with others. I connected with Him, my first experience of remembering that was at age 12, and then again at age 17. I can remember really making a commitment to walk with Him. And over the years, my routine has changed, and it changes with the seasons. But the thing that stays consistent, is I don't focus on ministering to other people. I focus on being ministered to by God and worshipping Him and everybody else benefits from the overflow of our relationship.

So, for me, if I'm in a steady flow; that looks like when I wake up in the morning, I acknowledge his presence in my life. That's the first thing. I thank Him, I thank the Holy Spirit for filling me, for guiding me, for leading me, and that's before my feet literally hit the floor. That is a must do for me, because I know truly in Him, I live, move, and have my very being.

And then there’s study time. Sometimes I am studying a book out of the Bible, and sometimes I'm studying a book that leads me back to the word to validate what the author is writing. But it still allows me to feed my spirit with the consistent word. And then there's always prayer. Prayer for me is the glue that holds everything together. When I'm praying, I'm going to have the prayers for others, the prayers for my family, the prayers for myself, the prayers for work. I really categorize my prayers so that I can make sure that I'm spreading God’s love across every area of life that I'm responsible for touching.

And so, there are times and there are seasons, just to be honest, where it's heads down every day in the word because I really need it. That means I am in a place where I need to fill my cup. And then there are some seasons where it may be a few times per week, and I'm living off - I call it “the bear” - I call it ‘the bear season’ where I’ve stored up. And that's carrying me while I go out and do some of the work that God has assigned for me to do.”

Lisa: “Amen! Amen! I know in my own practice, and the Dare2Dream audience is aware of this, is that establishing a routine in the morning, of connecting with God, and also gratitude. And so, I employ a method called “Gratitude Blitz”. And so, I am thankful that you too, have incorporated that into what you do. So, I know also that you are an author, a speaker, and a business life coach. But also, a wife and a mother - so tell me how are you balancing all those big, big, big titles?”

Yalonda: “Lord help me! I’ll start off with the wife because I balance well because my husband and I are a team. And he supports the work that God is calling me to do. And it’s not a relationship of asking for permission. It’s a relationship where I seek his agreement. And as long as we are in agreement, Team Haywood knows how to function. He knows when, “Hey, I'm on Daddy duty, I got the kids, I got dinner, I got the house”. And then there are days when I'm on mommy duty, “I got the kids, I got the dog, I got the house” – we balance it well together. As a mom, I'm present. That’s important to me. And I don't mean present like “Yes, my kids are going to be clothed, and fed and clean”. But present where when we are connecting; I'm looking into their eyes. I want to make sure when I say, “Are you okay?” or “How are you? How was your day?” That I look past their words, and I know that they are okay, or I know something's not right, or how was their day. I bring them into the activities. My youngest, Justin, has now taken a new interest in cooking; and whenever he hears a pot or pan, he's like, “Oh, what are we doing today?”, And he's washing his hands and getting ready. I invite him into that place with me, because it's another way for me to integrate quality time into the things that are necessary and just must be done.

As far as being an author, that is the download from God. He speaks outright; He speaks outright. And when the downloading comes a lot. Like this weekend was just a true weekend of downloading, and I said to my husband, “I got to write, I got to get this out.” And so, I was gone. I went to a café.  I got nestled in a corner and a table, I had many cups of coffee, and I was there for like six- and eight-hour sprints; just getting it done. But then when I came home, I was able to be present again. My mind wasn’t divided. So, for me sometimes, it's a matter of just getting the work done when it's time to work and knowing when it's time to relax so that I can connect in the most meaningful ways possible with my family. So that we're creating memories
