Hot Mess Millionaire

Are you willing to sacrifice security to follow your dreams? Have you ever had dreams that you gave your whole heart to, and then life happened? This week, Dr. Venus talks about putting this podcast and social media on hold while she focuses her energy on her first TV show. She is willing to take the risk and go for a life where she surrenders to her calling and goes full time as a creative. This sparks a conversation on how to believe in yourself, why it’s important to take a risk and let go of the false God of security in service of what you are REALLY meant to do. She talks about how her brother Tory’s transition led her to really take a deep look at the point of life, and why it’s time to get rich or die trying. Stay tuned. Key Takeaways: [1:32] Dr. Venus is choosing to walk away from security in order to go for her dreams as a full time creative and sell her TV show. Where have you tolerated staying in the same place because you didn’t want to risk the unknown, or possible heartbreak? [6:16] Dr. Venus shares how she wanted to write and it has always given her joy, but life got in the way, until now. She talks about the decision to get back into writing after George Floyd and how articulating how she sees the world gives her joy and connects her with her purpose. [9:26] It takes courage to let go of the false God called security. Most of us are so addicted for our need to know and be comfortable, that we would rather stay in situations that harm us before we walk away. [10:10] Being brave is different from being courageous. You are brave when you go into something with your eyes wide open, knowing that you could fail and lose it all. However, you know that there is a purpose worthy of your life being at risk, and your fulfillment goes above everything else. [11:25] What if you gave YOURSELF the passion that you give to others? Dr. Venus contends with giving herself the attention and support that she has given to other causes, movements, and people. [12:20] Dr. Venus explains her break from the podcast and how she is not taking any money from things that don’t fall under her creative worth. As she transitions to entertainment and focuses all her energy on selling her first TV show, she is giving herself a real chance. [13:59] Are you doing what you are born to do, or are you staying safe? [18:31] Dr. Venus knows that it’s time to have a bigger platform and have her own show. She’s grown beyond social media, so for now she is even pausing her social media while she works on her show. [21:32] The more Dr. Venus heals her father wounds, the more extraordinary Black Men show up and are there to give their expertise and support. Quotes: * “If I can win with money, how come I can’t win with words?” * “I trusted God with my needs, but I did not trust God with my dreams. Until now.” * “I am claiming my fulfillment. I'm claiming my joy. I’m claiming me.” * “Have you ever had dreams that you gave your whole heart to, and then life happened?” * “It takes courage to let go of the false God called security.” * “I say your fulfillment is worth risking your life. My fulfillment and doing what God has built me to do is worthy of me putting my ass on the line.” * “I refuse to live with regret and I refuse to die with it. I’m going to get rich or die trying.” Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website [https://venusopal.com/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrVenusOpalReese/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/Dr_VenusOReese] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drvenusopalreese/] “Hot Mess Millionaire” [https://www.amazon.com/That-Life-Had-To-Die/dp/B088JD7RCY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=hot+Mess+millionaire&qid=1589859458&sr=8-2] Amazon Pilot “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese [https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese]) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe [https://venusopal.com/gift/] The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Black-Woman-Millionaire-Insurrection-Personal-ebook/dp/B088494BXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W9TKLDA4YYSX&dchild=1&keywords=black+woman+millionaire+hot+mess&qid=1589478345&sprefix=kitchen+sink+dra%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1] Healing With Him Event RESOURCES How to (Finally!)

Living is never easy after death. Whatever or whoever you are grieving, it can be the loss of a loved one, a dream, or a waistline, the very process REQUIRES you to transition to a new reality. It can feel daunting and overwhelming, but transition is what gets us to fully step into our destiny and who we were born to be. This week, Dr. Venus reflects how grieving is another form of transitioning from what was, to what can be. She talks about how to keep going when you don’t see a point, and when something you love is no longer there, and why that’s an invitation for new traditions and beautiful possibilities. Are you willing to let go of what you had to become who you were born to be? Let’s talk about it. Key Takeaways: [2:55] While you are grieving, Dr. Venus invites you to take the case that the transition of where you are coming from to where you are going can be a very magical space, one that is ripe with possibility. [3:13] Sometimes letting go of the past can feel very scary and painful, even if the future is something you are looking forward to. It’s the death of something you knew, and losing that comfort can be anxiety producing. [4:05] With change and transition can come new alliances, relationships, expectations and new futures. If you think of your grieving not just as a loss but a transition from the old to the new, you can begin to see some blessings. [5:13] Dr. Venus is fully committing herself to being an artist, and opportunities and people are showing up in ways she wouldn’t believe. However, she wouldn’t necessarily have those if she wasn’t also grieving the loss of what she used to be and open to the transition of who she is becoming. [6:15] The right people will find you, but they won’t define you. And you will find people who help redesign you. Even in the sadness, there’s always some good stuff. [8:20] As Dr. Venus grieves the transition of her brother Tory, she honors his sense of humor and by doing comedy herself, feels as though a piece of him is still with her. [10:04] As you transition from grieving to new traditions, one just may make you laugh or surprise you in ways you didn’t expect. Dr. Venus shares her first “couples non-Christmas Christmas” with her partner, and the mix of grieving, playing, laughing, and building something new. [15:37] God softens our hearts when we grieve and makes us open and available for new futures. Transition is required to fully step into our destiny. [19:02] Transition can be in everything, to deciding you are eating better and saying no to choices you made before, to changing the way you see the world or a politician. Quotes: * “Going from having to be alone while I grieve to being supported while I grieve, that’s a transition.” * “Take the case that the grieving is a transition that you’re going from what used to be, to what could be, and that is a very magical space. That’s a space ripe with possibility.” * “Are you willing to let go of what you had to become for who you were born to be?” * “God is softening my heart by grieving, and making me open and available for new futures.” * “Transition is required for my destiny.” Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website [https://venusopal.com/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrVenusOpalReese/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/Dr_VenusOReese] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drvenusopalreese/] “Hot Mess Millionaire” [https://www.amazon.com/That-Life-Had-To-Die/dp/B088JD7RCY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=hot+Mess+millionaire&qid=1589859458&sr=8-2] Amazon Pilot “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese [https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese]) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe [https://venusopal.com/gift/] The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Black-Woman-Millionaire-Insurrection-Personal-ebook/dp/B088494BXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W9TKLDA4YYSX&dchild=1&keywords=black+woman+millionaire+hot+mess&qid=1589478345&sprefix=kitchen+sink+dra%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1] RESOURCES Finding Refuge: Heart Work for Healing Collective Grief [https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Refuge-Heart-Healing-Collective/dp/1611809363?fbclid=IwAR1JpIQUGJq8wmgD7jIM_5_b0n_aSVRJzu9KrXsTfhNV_i7BNVfN8RDhaV4]

It’s okay to have sad days. For those who are grieving, the holidays can be an extra hard time and while the world seems cheerful and celebratory, it can be hard to even just get out of bed. This week, Dr. Venus just asks you to grieve with her as she contends with the angelversary of her brother Tory passing away from COVID on last Christmas Eve. She shares resources that can help in the darkest of times, and reminds you that you aren’t alone if you are grieving. Key Takeaways: [1:56] There is a difference between grieving and suffering. As humans, it’s natural to grieve and even healthy to let yourself have the time and space you need to know when are sad and grieving. [2:42] While it hurts so deeply that Tory transitioned on last Christmas Eve, there would be no good day for it to have happened. [4:39] If you are grieving during the holidays, you aren’t alone. The holiday experience is different for everyone and can change during each passing year. [6:17] A book to understand grief more deeply and to observe the different stages that Dr. Venus recommends is The Five Stages of Grief [https://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/]. [8:59] It can feel extra painful to try and understand why God takes the good people, when there are so many people left on the planet doing so much damage. It’s okay to feel frustrated about fairness. Life can be very unfair and confusing. [10:11] If you know and love someone grieving, please don’t ask them to be positive. On some days that is just impossible. [13:27] It can be comforting to find something that helps you systematically medidate. For Dr. Venus she is learning to cook a few dishes just to keep her hands busy. It doesn’t matter if you are great at the skill, it just matters that you are trying. [14:50] COVID was extra hard because we couldn’t prepare for it. The suprise was just as bad as the loss, and there’s no way to grieve together in the way we normally do. [16:47] It’s healthy to grieve, and it’s okay to surrender. If you need to go right to bed today, there’s always tomorrow. Quotes: * “It’s healthy to grieve.” * “I get mad at God. We go back and forth a lot.” * “It’s okay to surrender.” Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website [https://venusopal.com/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrVenusOpalReese/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/Dr_VenusOReese] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drvenusopalreese/] “Hot Mess Millionaire” [https://www.amazon.com/That-Life-Had-To-Die/dp/B088JD7RCY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=hot+Mess+millionaire&qid=1589859458&sr=8-2] Amazon Pilot “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese [https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese]) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe [https://venusopal.com/gift/] The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Black-Woman-Millionaire-Insurrection-Personal-ebook/dp/B088494BXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W9TKLDA4YYSX&dchild=1&keywords=black+woman+millionaire+hot+mess&qid=1589478345&sprefix=kitchen+sink+dra%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1] RESOURCES The Five Stages of Grief [https://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/]

As Dr. Venus approaches the 1 year anniversary of her brother Tory’s transition on Christmas Eve, she is experiencing heavy feelings of grief, sadness, and deeply missing a loved one. She contends with the fact that the holidays can be brutal, especially when you have lost a loved one during a season of cheer. How do you put up holiday lights and deal with this festive time when it’s hard to even get out of bed some days? This week, she shares resources to deal with that grief, and ways to cope through the holiday season and beyond. If you are grieving this December, you are not alone, and you are seen and heard. Key Takeaways: [3:35] Words often can’t communicate the feeling of grief when you have lost someone that you love. [4:19] Dr. Venus is experiencing her brother Tory’s first “angelversary”. He transitioned due to COVID complications last Christmas Eve, after 8 days of fighting the disease. Many families that lost loved ones during COVID also were not able to even see or touch their loved ones, making saying goodbye even more painful and heartbreaking. Tory was a great man and Dr. Venus honors his sense of humor and role as a protector and provider. [5:07] It’s hard enough to get out of bed when you are grieving, but how do you put up holiday lights and act cheerful during a festive time? First, know that you aren’t alone. Second, know there are different resources and many hotlines and providers that are there to provide support. [14:29] Next, tell the truth about how you feel, and take the space you need. Some days, Dr. Venus doesn’t try to get out of bed or dressed. Other days, she knows it’s important to take care of herself. If you have a pet or animal, spend time with them and take them for a walk. Try to create new memories, and plan for the future. [17:02] What ways can you nurture yourself? Can you learn a new skill? Finding even one thing to be grateful about per day can help, as well as moving your body and expressing your grief without words such as painting or dancing. Quotes: * “There’s a whole community of us grievers who when we see Christmas lights, we want to spit. Know that you aren’t alone.” * “My prayer for you is that you allow yourself the healthy response, which is grieving.” * “My prayer for you is to nurture yourself during the holidays while you allow yourself to be a human being. To let yourself grieve, and to let yourself feel.” Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website [https://venusopal.com/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrVenusOpalReese/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/Dr_VenusOReese] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drvenusopalreese/] “Hot Mess Millionaire” [https://www.amazon.com/That-Life-Had-To-Die/dp/B088JD7RCY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=hot+Mess+millionaire&qid=1589859458&sr=8-2] Amazon Pilot “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese [https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese]) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe [https://venusopal.com/gift/] The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Black-Woman-Millionaire-Insurrection-Personal-ebook/dp/B088494BXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W9TKLDA4YYSX&dchild=1&keywords=black+woman+millionaire+hot+mess&qid=1589478345&sprefix=kitchen+sink+dra%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1] RESOURCES Create Your Own Calm [https://www.amazon.com/Create-Your-Own-Calm-Quieting/dp/0593084144] 1.

The most LUCRATIVE capitol AND labor in American history are Black Men. If Black Men made their own money, America would go bankrupt - after Emancipation & today. This has nothing to do with spirit or work ethic, and everything to do about a system setup to discredit him and position him as a natural born criminal. In the early 1800s, enslaved People of African ancestry were considered loyal and nonthreatening; after 1865, they were considered criminals. Today, our systems are still designed to keep Black Men broke and working for free or very little, with a price tag attached for success. Dr. Venus discusses how when we’re talking about race, what we’re missing is dealing with economics. She reveals the ways Black Men are positioned to stay financially handicapped, from sharecropping to convict leasing, foster care to jail pens. Black Men are not broke because they are trifling or lazy. They’re broke because their hands are tied and they’ve been checkmated by a series of systems that they are born into. How do we begin to heal? Let’s talk. Key Takeaways: [3:03] Most people do not understand the word system. Dr. Venus defines it as nothing more than a series of actions, practices, and procedures that are invisible to you that impact your behavior. You don’t have to see a system to feel it or be affected by it. [5:00] As Dr. Venus applies her brain on Black Men, she is dealing with the brutal brilliance of White Supremacy. While we are focusing on race, they are focusing on profit and keeping the money machine going for White Supremacy. [8:13] Dr. Venus breaks down the tricky manner in which they created many different ways to keep Black Men poor and criminals, all the way up to the 1940’s. Peonage is when you do a lot of work for a little bit of money, in order to work off a debt. It wasn’t just Black people affected by this and who couldn’t get ahead, it was White poor people as well. Sharecropping is a system where the landlord would allow the tenant to use the land in exchange for a share of the crop, but the tenant would struggle to profit or leave due to inflation and a never ending list of labor. [10:45] Convict leasing was also another way to replace slavery. They worked men to the bones, and when they died, they just replaced them with another convict. Dr. Venus needs you to get this: it’s the exact same system we have today - White Supremacy making money off Black Men and benefiting from free labor, most obviously through the prison industrial complex. [20:38] If you don’t know a White person who has the same kind of values that you have, you won’t make it through the system. There’s no Black person who has made it through any American systems without some type of support or help from some kind of abolitionist in whatever language they use. Black Men don’t have that type of help more readily than Black Women, and there’s always a price tag for the ones that do. Do not be seduced when they say there are Black millionaires and billionaires. Relative to how many White millionaire and billionaires there are, we’re talking less than 1%. [24:55] If you take away the people who helped you, you would not be here whether it’s a teacher, reverend, friend, etc. Black Men don't have the same type of help, and the ones who do always have a giant price tag attached to their success. [25:19] Black Men are caught in a cycle created by White Supremacy where from a young age they may get expelled from school, not able to further their education and land a job. To get by this may lead them to become a felon, and now they are in jail working for free. [27:22] Slavery had nothing to do with race and everything to do with profit and economics. If a Black Man has his own money, he doesn't have to go into racist structures to try to make money. [29:13] Black Women have become the voice of White Supremacy in our relationship to Black Men. We hold them in every way to the standard White people have set for them, but don’t contend with the target on their back or think about their struggles and what they’ve done to protect us. Dr. Venus knows we have been hurt by Black Men, that is clear. However, none of that negates the structures he has to deal with, his humanity, fears, phobias, and a right to heal. [30:12] While Black Women are the most educated group in North America, Black Men are the least. Why is that? [33:42] When we talk about history, we talk about how we tended to him. We don't talk about what he gave up to protect us. [35:55] If we want to have love on the other side of trauma and have thriving Black families, we have to address the humanity of our Black Men and really be there to heal with them. Quotes: * “You don’t need to see a system to feel the impact of it.” * “If you take away the people who have helped you, you would not be here. I promise you. It could be a teacher, Reverend, a friend.” * “America is set up to have felons work for free, because that is how they replace slavery.” * “Black Men are brilliant. They’re strong and they have a willpower that is ridiculous.” * “When we talk about history, we talk about how we tended to him. We don't talk about what he gave up to protect us.” * “Black Men are not broke because they are trifling or lazy. They’re broke because their hands are tied and they’ve been checkmated by a series of systems that they are born into.” Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website [https://venusopal.com/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DrVenusOpalReese/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/Dr_VenusOReese] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drvenusopalreese/] “Hot Mess Millionaire” [https://www.amazon.com/That-Life-Had-To-Die/dp/B088JD7RCY/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=hot+Mess+millionaire&qid=1589859458&sr=8-2] Amazon Pilot “Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese [https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese]) Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe [https://venusopal.com/gift/] The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition [https://www.amazon.com/Black-Woman-Millionaire-Insurrection-Personal-ebook/dp/B088494BXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W9TKLDA4YYSX&dchild=1&keywords=black+woman+millionaire+hot+mess&qid=1589478345&sprefix=kitchen+sink+dra%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-1] RESOURCES PRISON SYSTEM: 1.
