You've got to let go of average to grab great everywhere in your life. Let go of it. When you find your way and you know you're on your purpose-driven path where you're meant to be, suddenly doors open for you unexpectedly that wouldn't have opened if you weren't on that right path.

1:34Heather Monahan:There's a knowing about it. There's a certainty about it. And it starts with letting go of what's not for you. Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, and set you up for a better tomorrow. That's a no-see. I'm ready for my close-up.

So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do.

2:08Heather Monahan:OK, so today I had the opportunity to go to church and it was the nine year anniversary of Voo Church, which is if you've been with me, you know I love my Voo and you can watch Voo Church online. Today was the nine year anniversary. It was so cool. My son and I have been going now for, I think, almost four years, at least three, if not four now. And we absolutely love our church. It's incredible. But to hear our pastor walk us through that journey and hearing him talk about how nine years ago, it was him and a handful of friends sitting in his apartment, calling it a church. They had a vision for the future.

2:42Heather Monahan:They had a vision for where they were going, but that vision wasn't real. They were in a little apartment room, calling it a church. and then he walked us through how over the next year he started you know to build and encourage others and the people who started it with him started encouraging others and the next thing you know they got a really small place at a rescue mission which was really small and he showed us a picture and then a year after that it started building and getting bigger and bigger and they went to an elementary school and the elementary school allowed them to use their facility on the weekend so they could fit more people and then by the third year they were able to get a much larger location.

3:17Heather Monahan:And then the pandemic hit and everything went to virtual. And that's hard because you think you're going to lose some ground. But instead, they came out of the pandemic so much stronger. They had built their online presence, their YouTube channel, their podcast, like, you know, starting to get millions of downloads. And they now secured a second location and bought a building. They didn't own it outright, but they, you know, were making payments on it. And then a year later, they paid off the building and then they got another location. And then our pastor's father became ill and he had to step back from running his church.

3:48Heather Monahan:So our pastor bought his location. So now there's four locations and they also are preaching at prisons. And like I said, online, and he just walked us through this whole trajectory from in his apartment nine years ago to now where they have four thriving locations, millions of views on YouTube, on the podcast, you know, they're working with these prisons. I mean, there's thousands and thousands of people in Miami going to these different locations in Voo Church every single week. And the impact they're having is incredible and massive. But he shared that if he had known how hard all this was going to be nine years ago, he probably wouldn't have done it because it would have been too daunting a task.

4:28Heather Monahan:But instead, he would just focus on that big vision that he had for his future and that next step that he could take, not knowing what would lie ahead, but having faith that God would guide him in that right direction and that having faith that the best is yet to come. And he shared with us today that after his father stepped back a year ago and had cancer and was going through medical treatments, that today he is healed and healthy. And it's just, it's one miracle after another. And it just reminded me, you know, of my own journey, my own challenges. And I want you to think about yours that my gosh, of seven years ago, I'd known how hard it was going to be to build my own business and get here today.

5:05Heather Monahan:I probably wouldn't have done it. I probably would have just said, hang it up. I'm going to go back to corporate and, you know, figure out another job. And I'm so grateful I don't. But to my pastor's point, finding success is a lot of work. And it is a journey of highs and lows and not giving up believing in yourself and focusing on your faith and reminding yourself that you need to surrender. You need to surrender to a higher power because you're not going to have all of the answers. and we can't assume that we are or blame ourselves when we don't or get locked up with fear because we don't know how to handle the uncertainty.

5:43Heather Monahan:Instead, let go, let God and remind yourself that the best is yet to come because it truly, truly is. And it was just such a fun journey today to go through that experience with him. You can absolutely see if you go to his YouTube channel, Voo Church YouTube, you'll be able to see this message. And it's a nine year anniversary of Voo Church. And it's just, it's such a beautiful story. And it made it so real to me that we're all going through this journey, no matter what it is, nobody has all the answers. And yes, it's so much easier to do in community when you're in community with others that have your back, that are good people that are like-minded with you, and when you have faith.

6:22Heather Monahan:And it was incredible day to day because Mass was that good and the message was that good. So no matter where you are on your journey. If you're not there, oh my gosh, life is short. Just start stepping into your passion and your purpose and know that the doors will open. No, it's not all going to be perfect. There's going to be plenty of turbulence along the way after I just got off my flight from LA and there was plenty of turbulence on that flight, but turbulence is temporary, right? And we just have to have that faith that we're meant for more. We've been put here for a reason and not sure exactly how it's all going to work out, but it's all going to get better.

6:54Heather Monahan:And I'm going to stay focused on that future cast vision of where we are going and why we are doing what we're doing. And as we do that, and we move forward with faith, and we practice gratitude in all that is so good in our lives, more goodness keeps coming in. So wanting you to know that one of the messages I took away from this last week was everything is rigged in my favor. And the reality is it's all rigged in your favor too. Just start allowing it. Have faith that that is exactly how it's been set up for you and that the best is yet to come.

So if you're over 50 and you want to work out, you want to build muscle and you want to think clearly, creatine needs to be a part of your day to day.

8:58Heather Monahan:Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements available. And the category is huge. It's exploded. Most brands focus on flavors, not so much what's in it, more about the marketing instead of actually having better creatine. That's why Momentous created signature spec creatine, their most advanced creatine ever, setting a new standard for creatine quality.

10:03Heather Monahan:That's livemomentous.com promo code confidence for up to 35 % off. I ask you to try to find your passion. So my foundation is my faith in God. And that wasn't the case, as I just mentioned four years ago. Once you have your foundation, whatever that may be for you, but it's got to be unshakable, I believe, right? Because it didn't work as well when it wasn't. The next thing that really came to me was this belief and this knowing, and this really goes back to God. This goes back to the Bible and no more fear, no more worry. For a long time, specifically during the pandemic, I was full of fear, full of worry.

10:42Heather Monahan:It was making me physically sick, you know, losing my hair. I broke out in a rash. It was terrible watching my son get so depressed. It was a really bad time. What I have now, which is different is my relationship with God, which is, as I mentioned, it's just like this foundation, unshakable belief and knowing that things are going to be okay, and that we're divinely being led to where we're meant to be to go. When you think like that, when you start believing that, that everything's actually rigged in your favor, that when one door closes, a better one opens, suddenly, you're excited to get up in the morning, even if it is challenging in that moment, right?

11:16Heather Monahan:Like my life is far from perfect right now. And I'm dealing with some things that are, you know, somewhat like of a headache, they look like I'm like, oh, gosh, nobody can be excited to deal with that this week. But you know what? Because I have this belief that I'm being divinely led and that I'm on the right path, that I'm living my purpose driven life. I know things are rigged in my favor, that it is going to be great. I just don't know how it's all going to play out. And I'm OK letting go and living in the uncertainty. That's a huge seismic shift. When I was younger, I like I wanted to control everything.

11:49Heather Monahan:No, that is not the answer. I guess it's called the law of detachment. And it's about letting go. Gosh, it's so powerful. And I just had this like incredible memory that just popped into my head. I was spitting on a rooftop because it was during the pandemic. We couldn't be inside. And I remember the teacher was talking about you have to just let go stop trying to white knuckle everything and choke everything just let go. And that was a really scary time for me because I was letting go of a relationship. I was letting go of fears. I was letting go of another version of myself in order to step into uncertain to try to figure out what the future held.

12:23Heather Monahan:And that was huge for me, huge. Maybe it could be huge for you too. Okay, and again, you don't have to have all the answers today. I'm just sharing with you what worked for me, but I'm telling you that's so good and I want it to work for you too. Okay, I wrote my book, Overcoming Your Villains, my second book, you know that. It's all about removing negative people, places, and things from your life and thoughts, even the thoughts in your own head, right? So Overcoming Your Villains is a huge part about this recipe to success, removing negative people, places and things. And that can be jobs, that can be toxic work environments, that can be peers at work, that can be the make believe friends that really aren't your friends, a frenemy, right?

13:02Heather Monahan:Like, anyone that's bringing your vibe down, limiting all interaction with them, or cutting them out of your life completely, is going to open up opportunity for you to bring positive people into your life, attract places that you're supposed to be going, things you're supposed to be doing. Get rid of this path that you're on. That was what other people told you to do. So you can get the path that God has meant for you. Like, oh my gosh, remove the negative people, places and things from your life and watch yourself take off. Overcome your villain. Such a great book. If you haven't read it yet, go get it.

13:32Heather Monahan:I do the audio version. You need it. Okay. That's another step. Another step. Ready? Find your purpose and calling. And I get people are like, that's so big. How do you do that? During this whole messy path along this way of like, listen, me getting fired. That was a massive, it wasn't rejection. It was a massive redirection to what I was meant to be doing, which is I'm meant to be here sitting with you today. I'm meant to be taking stages, speaking life and belief into people. I was speaking at Northeastern University. And right before I was supposed to go on, I saw that they had this big board up and it said Heather Monahan, two time bestselling author, top 50 keynote speaker.

14:08Heather Monahan:And then it said I was speaking about sales strategies. And yeah, I was a sales leader in corporate America for 25 years. I can speak about sales strategies, leading sales teams, leadership and business ad nauseum, right? I don't need notes. I can just get up and do it. I did it for so long. However, I looked around that room and I thought to myself, that is not the message these people need to hear right now. I felt like something much larger than me was speaking into me. This is not the message you need to bring forward today. I trust myself now so implicitly. I want you to trust yourself, too.

14:42Heather Monahan:My intuition is so strong. And because I act on my intuition, I trust it even more. So, yes, a lot of people would say that's crazy to change your talk right before you're going to go on. But I believe in me. And I knew the people that were there that brought me in to speak believe in me too, right? And so when you feel that sense of belief, when you're not surrounded by negativity, when you're not surrounded by naysayers, but champions, you believe in yourself more. I took that stage and I said, oh boy, giddy up and here we go. I am not giving the talk that everybody thought I was going to give today, including myself.

15:14Heather Monahan:And here's why. There's one voice and opinion in your life that will always matter. And that is your own. When your heart speaks to you, listen and act, and you will hear it more and more and more, and it will set you on that right path. I said, I want to start off today with two stories that I feel like are so important for you to hear. And I got into these two stories. And really, the bottom line was this, that the message I was bringing forth was a couple of things. You need to just go bigger, and you need to have faith, and you need to have hope. And when other people tell you your ideas aren't going to work, that's okay.

15:45Heather Monahan:And you can thank them for their limiting beliefs, but you got to stay on your path and listen to your truth, regardless of what is the truth for anyone else. And there are millions of people in the world that told me I was crazy seven years ago when I got fired and I decided to go to work for myself. Everyone told me to wait out my non-compete and go back to the industry I had expertise in. And today I'm so glad I didn't, but it's a constant battle, right? Like, obviously that would be the easy thing. I have way more expertise, 25 years of experience and expertise and network in that arena. I only have seven years in this new one, right?

16:20Heather Monahan:So it's harder when you're starting out. But one thing that's cool is when you find your way and you know you're on your purpose-driven path where you're meant to be, suddenly doors open for you unexpectedly that wouldn't have opened if you weren't on that right path. So finding your purpose and calling is huge. And there's a knowing about it. There's a certainty about it. It doesn't happen on day one, though. I'm going to tell you the seven years ago, I didn't feel this way. When I wrote my first book, I didn't feel this way. I started feeling this way a couple of years ago when I wrote my second book, right?

16:49Heather Monahan:And maybe if you've been on following me on the journey on the show, if you've been with me on the show, you've seen the evolution over the last five years as a show has gone on. I think I've seen it for sure. I know I've gotten messages from some of you that you've seen it too, right? The more stages I take, the more certain I feel, the more partnerships are coming together for me that I had dreamt about, prayed about, but had a sense and calling that these were going to happen. and now they are, like all these things are coming together now. If success was easy, everybody would have it, right?

17:17Heather Monahan:Like if it was on day one, I just flipped the switch and it happens. That's not real. Maybe it's real for you. That's has not been the case for me. But there's a sense and this knowing and this belief that I am on the right path. And I want you to find that path. And it starts with letting go of what's not for you. You're never going to be able to grab greatness if you hold on to mediocrity. And for a long time, I was holding on to mediocrity in my personal relationships, in my business relationships, in the work that I was choosing to do. I wasn't growing. I was stagnant. You've got to let go of average to grab great everywhere in your life.

17:51Heather Monahan:Let go of it.

21:57Heather Monahan:One of the big things that opened up like a vortex of positive energy for me was clearing out and decluttering my last house when I was selling my home. My realtor said like, we got to get some stuff out of here. You've lived here a long time. I literally gave away and threw out so much stuff. It was incredible. Not only did I feel lighter and happier and loved my home so much more after I did that, right? I did it because I was moving, but I loved my home when I did it. I was like, why didn't I do this sooner? Amazing miracles started showing up in my life. Now, what's so wild is this past week, I interviewed Marie Diamond from The Secret.

22:33Heather Monahan:You're going to hear she's coming up in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to release the episode. I'm so hyped for you to hear it. It's so freaking good. And I'm implementing like everything this woman taught me. It's incredible into my life because that whole declutter thing is part of Feng Shui, right? Which she did not make this up. It's an ancient Chinese practice that's been around for thousands of years. And again, there's no downside to it. Like decluttering, what's the downside? You're not going to get hurt. The worst that happens is you have a cleaner house with more space. But what she says and teaches around Feng Shui is that it creates space for miracles to start showing up in your life.

23:11Heather Monahan:And it truly worked out that way for me. I literally emptied out my house, decluttered my home. Within two weeks, I got a phone call from the Dr. Phil show to come on. Like so many wild things started happening out of left field, not things I was working on, not things I was planning on, things that just started showing up for me. So declutter, I'm tasking with that today. I'm going to do it to my bedroom now that I've lived in the condo I'm in now for a couple of years, I need to declutter again, like it's never over, right? Why not always be creating space for miracles to show up in your life?
