Delayed But Not Denied | What The Necessary Retreat Unlocked And What's Next

What happens when an experience shifts you so deeply… there’s no going back to who you used to be?

In this episode of the Selflessly Selfish Podcast, I’m joined by my beautiful sister Ajie Faye of the Unlocking Greatness Community as we unpack our powerful experience at the 2026 “Necessary” Retreat with Zenja Glass, aka Dr. Z. We talk about what was revealed, what was broken off, and how this encounter completely realigned our mindset, faith, and next steps.

I also share my personal airport story almost missing my flight and how that intense moment turned into a real-life lesson on urgency, alignment, proximity, obedience, and trusting God’s timing.

This conversation is real, unfiltered, and full of insight for anyone navigating growth, healing, purpose, or transition.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, or called higher… this episode is for you.

Growth isn’t always comfortable.
Surrender isn’t always easy.
But elevation requires release.

So the real question is… what is necessary for YOUR next level?

✨ In this episode we discuss:
• Lessons from the 2026 Necessary Retreat
• The power of community and accountability
• Transformation through obedience
• My airport lesson on urgency, proximity, and alignment

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:30

This is gonna be such fun because this episode is really gonna be like us pouring our hearts out on so many different things. We have just allowed God to fill this space and whatever comes through, you guys, this is how me and Teresa are together. So welcome into our little space that we have together. That's it. So Teresa, tell them a little bit about you.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

Okay. Well, I am Master Life Coach Teresa Webb. I started off life coach, and I knew that for some reason I felt like God was calling me for more and needed to go deeper. And I was like, how do I reach these individuals? Because I know what it took for me. And so Master Life Coach, where it kind of teaches you the steps to go into those darker spaces that some people don't like to, you know, talk about, but it includes difficult conversations. I started there. Um, have an amazing husband of over 24 plus years now this year, and um three extraordinary individuals, beautiful human beings that um not perfect, but they're mine. They're all mine. And I worked nine to five several years, and just recently now this is my first opportunity to be full-time entrepreneur. And a small business to big business owner because I I believe that, and I'm excited about seeing what comes up when I fully engage and really and truly go all in. But that is the gist of it. I love God, I love God's people, I love seeing people smile at their best. And being a coach, I like to say that because of the discernment, I have the ability to hear what they're not saying. Yes, being in their presence. And that gives me that extra advantage so that I know that I can really determine if the individuals are assigned to me, you know, because everybody's not our assignment. That's the thing that I learned. Everybody's not my assignment, but because I love to do it and I'm a woman of integrity, I'm okay with saying that. I don't feel like you're being called to this space. But this is it. 2019 is 2026, and I am looking forward to closing out the latter part of the year. I'm talking about not just that best version, but the strongest version of I'm excited about it, and I'm glad to be here with you. I just feel like I've met, I said sister daughter. Sister daughter. Because it's like our spirits are kindred, and I'm so grateful. I'm grateful for that. I love you that you're you and don't ever apologize for it.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

I love that. Thank you so much. You're so sweet. I also found myself going down the conventional like root path to therapist. But as I was going through my bachelor's degree and just speaking to other people already in that field, it didn't feel aligned anymore. And so I pivoted to coaching, became a life coach, and I've done so many healing modalities as well to facilitate that deep layer of like upheaval. And so today I'm a transformational specialist, life coach, and healer. And I just am so in love with what I do and how I walk my clients from one side to another side of who they are, who they already are. And it's that, like you said, that seeing them and helping them see themselves because, as visionary souls, as creatives, as entrepreneurs, it can be really challenging to keep in alignment with what God has called you to be and who you really are, and staying in tune and compassionate to yourself. And so that's where I serve. And it's been a glorious journey because it also starts from being curious about your own development. I was really down personal development rabbit holes from as young as I can remember, probably about 10. And how we met was coming into Xander's community, and I was really at that point where it was like I needed to heal mentally, physically, emotionally because I had sustained first and second degree burns, and it was really intense at that point because I was in physical pain. And anyone who knows experiencing physical pain, it kind of unravels everything else. And so that was like me deciding that more people need to have who is deeply compassionate, who has experienced things and can really hold a space that allows transformation to happen. And yeah, that's my story. Wow. Yeah, and us meeting in the community story, right? Us meeting in the community is bouts from all that pain. So I like to say, like, pain is the price of following your highest pooling.

SPEAKER_00 5:15

Absolutely. And and I'm glad that you even said that because that's where I started through transformational coaching. Because it's something about that transformation of seeing where we started and seeing where an individual starts, and then where we can actually help them get to, you know, from there. Because sometimes we can actually see it, even though they can't see it. So that's the part I like about it too. But I remember first becoming a part of a locking greatness community and hearing you was like, I mean, I'm just gonna say it's it was something about you that was just regal, anyways, right? Just like regal. It was like, whoa. I was like, okay, okay. Then when you started to speak, because you have people that are doing a whole lot of talking, but let me just see, I'm just gonna get real ethnic with this thing. Ain't saying nothing, right? A whole lot of talking, not saying nothing. But when you opened up your mouth to speak, it was like it was substance, sustenance, where we were like you were pouring. And I'm like, okay, I can get with this. And it was like that thing that draw me, and I shared that with you earlier. It felt something real, and that's what I'm all about. I'm all about real. Look, if you're somebody that you don't like this or you like that, whatever it is, you know, be who you are. Yeah, be who you are, and that's something that I stand on. It's like when we're not our true selves, we deny the individuals opportunity to show us unconditional love. Yes, because then we're loving that person that you are presenting to us, and that's not the real you. So it's like just be who you are. And I can I can work with that, I can work with that, and I just ask that people give me that same yeah, that same grace.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

Yeah, and that's really honestly why I love unlocking greatness, because it's like a space where you get to be held in love, held in compassion, and give yourself grace and start to like come back home to you. Yeah, and this season that I'm in is like really like I always love to say, I've said this about three times, is like we're onions, there are layers, and you gotta peel to get to the center, right? Where that that stem of the onion lives, and just really embodying all of who we are, like all of it. That's real freedom, and interfacing the parts of us that are uncomfortable, that are dark, that are pained, like, and just holding space for it. So I'm glad that we're on that journey together and also in our businesses, learning how to be us in it and trusting that you won't be punished by God for being you, like God already knows, God sees everything, and God loves you because it's unconditional. Like there are no conditions applied to you, it is unconditional. And I feel like we say it, we throw the word around, but when I really peel the layers back, and I was like, there are no conditions on God's love for me. None. So why am I hiding parts of who I am on the conditions of other people? That doesn't make sense, right? And so, really, like sitting in that and understanding like whoever's fooled me is gonna be fool me, and whoever isn't ain't that's it.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

Come on now, come on. Yes, that's it, and why are we even concerned with that? And for so many years I went back and forth because it's like we'll say all the time, I could care less what what somebody thinks, but it's like in the back of your mind, it's like we really actually do care what people think. It's just we don't need to react to it and we don't need to let it stop. You can care, just don't let it stop you. You can care, just don't let it stop or impede whatever purpose, whatever it is that you're supposed to be doing. Don't let it get you away from the manufacturer's guide.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Yes, Teresa, come on. Thank you, Dr. Z.

SPEAKER_00 9:19

Yes, don't let that. Yes, we can care, but don't let that, yeah. We can we just gotta stay, stay firm, stay put.

SPEAKER_01 9:26

Yeah, and I feel like where we are right now is that warfare is rampant, okay? Like warfare is crazy right now from the large systems that we experience, from just the lower level interfacing with different people that we've had, players we've had in our lives, and then our own inner conflict, right? It's been so much, and so I am so grateful that God was whispering things to me, and I was like, Are you sure it's the time to trust and surrender and be myself? Like, what do you mean? I'm scared. And on the other side of that whisper was Zenja receiving a whisper from God, you're gonna do an in-person retreat, and you're gonna bring all of your community and you're gonna hold space for them, and they're gonna hold space for you back because that's what we do in our community. We hope we we also coach her back, which is just so funny. I just love her. And if you had told me that God was always moving everything, I now that I'm on the other side, I can see it, but I really was not trusting that because I've been through so much, and that I still hadn't realized how much it was still becoming default perception. Yeah, and when you're such an excellent coach, sometimes you're coaching yourself, but it can also you're so self-interested that you miss certain things, but I'm just so grateful that God was a better planner than me. Because if it was up to me, I was like, I'm not going to the retreat, how am I gonna get there? And here comes Miss Teresa, like, you're gonna be there. I see you there, and I did see myself there too. And I'm gonna give you the floor on that one.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

You were the first person that came to mind. I just like I told you, I saw myself with that individual on that photo. It's the same way with you, it's the same way. And I don't know about you, but I felt like the members of the community, I felt like we were pulling and tugging. I felt because Dr. Z is so connected to us, yeah, I felt that she could feel we needed this. I felt that she could feel we needed this because everybody was in a space of of transition, of transformation. Everybody was our situations are different, but the the level of yearning and the level of heaviness, some of it was heavy, yeah, some of it was lack, some of it, it was all of that. We all were in a space where we needed this, and there was not one person there that wasn't intended to be there. I'm gonna put it like that. They got exactly what they needed, what they came for. I just feel I feel that nothing was left, no stone left unturned. I think everybody got what they needed, and I felt she could feel that from coming to the meetings, and even though I had missed a few, and I want to say something too, even with that about us joining the community, and what she does, she literally talk to us, talk to us. You know, something always happened. What she does for us, with us, through us, all of that. She pushed me, and that was something I can honestly say and speak from a space of transparency. I wasn't ready for it, sister. I wasn't ready for it, and I backed up and I told myself whatever I needed to tell myself at that moment for that excuse to back away, and I went away. But in the space of that, and and I don't want to get too um, I don't want to get too churchy, but in the space of that, it was like you cannot be chosen, you cannot be chosen and throw in the towel. It doesn't, you just we don't we can't do that. I don't care what we feel like when we get to the end of our rope, it's like he's gonna let us go so far and then he's gonna reel us back in. You cannot be a chosen one and talk about throwing in the towel, it it just doesn't work like that, and because he loves us too much to leave us in that space. Yeah, get me wrong. Some of us have tried. We'll get to that. That's a whole nother other story, but we're still here.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

That is so crazy.

SPEAKER_00 14:00

It doesn't work. Come on now, we're because we're here, we're we're here, and then the because you're literally reading my mind.

SPEAKER_01 14:08

I was like, God, I give up, I'm tired, I'm tired, and like you're saying, you don't get to throw in the towel, and I but what you do have to do sometimes is get out of the way because sometimes we are literally just trying to create sustain and uphold everything on our own understanding, and that doesn't make sense. You literally cannot do everything, but the survival mind will have you thinking that you do, yeah. But you cannot throw in the towel, but you can ask for help, or you can just open yourself up to receive the help, and it will happen the way it's meant to, and who needs to receive it will receive it. But like you just read me because I said, God, I know you called me for this, but I'm tired. So if you want me to be there, you make it happen.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

Um because let me tell you, that's why I said that there was a connection, there was a divine connection between you and I from the beginning, and that's exactly what it was. And this is what I got from it. Instead of throwing in the towel, it was like just surrender, yes, surrender to the call. We know that we're not just called, we're chosen. I'm telling you, because you throw the towel, he's gonna throw it right back. You can you you throw what I mean. He's tossing it back. We we don't have a choice, we don't have a choice, and because he loves us so much, he will not leave us in that space. So when I pulled away and I just went, I'm like, I need an answer. I was right there with you, beautiful. I was right there with you. Like, I've been doing this. If this is truly what you call me to do, I need to see some fruit, I need to see something happening, I need to know. And it's like oftentimes we always look for a sign, and all we need to do is really just have that little mustard seed of faith. And I can honestly say that I didn't even, I just it wasn't there. And I had to pull, and I took some time from social media, I just took some time, and I'm like, surrender, God. I need you. I need you, I need you to show me, God, let me see myself the way that you see me.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Let me see myself, and I believe it's something, I think it's something that Oprah says to the plan that he has, God, show me. I know what I want to do, I know what I think it is, but no, show it to me the way that you, and then I'm gonna go from there. And I just kept saying that, and it was like in that space, and I'm gonna tell anybody, you cannot say that you've been in the presence of the Almighty. You cannot say that you've dwelled and come out of that space and be the same and come out of that space and not have clarity. You can't, it just doesn't happen that way. Something happens, something transforms, something changes within us. And when I came out of that space, oh, when I tell you, I got the pop, pop, pop, pop, because he says what? He chastens those he loves. Yeah. And if he does not chastise you, then you're a bastard. That's what without without mother, without father, that's the scripture. That's what it says. And I got the pop pop when I went before my heavenly father. And he said, You prayed and you asked for it. And the specific thing was she has the blueprint. Look at the way she's doing it. And I'm I tell you, I had her laughing because she said, You all know that I can see when you when you're in the community and you're doing the I would go in there and it'd get too sticky-icky, and I just uh I don't want to do no more of that, and I go to something else. But it was like the Lord was speaking to me and saying, She has the blueprint. I you're in the right space, all of that other stuff from the past, let it go, let that go, let it go. Look, this is not that. This is not that. So I'm like, okay, let me really get in here. And because I did. I walked away and I was like, Oh, um gosh, what was that assignment we were doing? And she asked, Are we uh we went into the rooms? Are you a what was the two animals she gave? Are you this or are you that? Whatever it was. Hedgehog or a fox. You got it, hedgehog or a fox. And I think that whatever I said I was, and it was like, I think she just chuckled a little bit, and it was like, so I told myself, oh, she's saying I'm lesser, you know, I'm not that, you know, just whatever. It was not that. She didn't even remember, she does not have a clue. But because she had pushed me and challenged me, I was ready for whatever she could have sneezed and I could have sneezed and she not said bless you. And that would have been, oh, she didn't bless me. I'm I'm out, you know, whatever. I was looking for an exit, and God was like, No, you don't get to throw in the towel, you don't get to back away from this. And sometimes, you know what it is too? I think I was afraid to sit in it. Sometimes you gotta just sit in that thing, sit in that uncomfortable. Is it that a word uncomfortability? Uncomfortability, uncomfortable, uncomfortable. You just gotta sit when you're uncomfortable and sit in it. You gotta sit in it, and I didn't want to do that, I was still not ready to do it. And she pushed me, and I like I don't want this. And when I came back this time, I was like, you know what? Nope, I'm all in. I want to literally I'm gonna put pressure on God. You called me here, you said this is it. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna do my part and trust that you got the rest, and let me just see what happens. Let me just see what happens. So I just went all in. I came back and I apologized to Dr. Z because she had no clue. But I just don't, I think that when you honor somebody and you respect them, like you don't have to explain. Some people you do owe an explanation when they're when when they hold that space and I know what she's what she had given to me in that short span of time. I felt that I owed her that to know that you know what? You pushed me. You pushed me and I didn't like it. It was uncomfortable and I didn't like it. And I removed myself from the space. But I want you to know I respect you enough to see that in me, even when I refused and didn't want to see it. And I accept it. I give my yes, I'm in it, I'm doing it. And it's like I noticed that when I surrendered and started to do that, and then I told you that I'm gonna talk about that. I was laid off of my job 16 years, May 31st. And it was almost like he was like, you know what, you're not gonna make the decision. Guess what? I'm gonna push you into this thing. Because it was always I could I wasn't doing it full time. I wasn't doing it full time. So, okay, now what? And I literally went and laid in the bed and I said, now what? I said, I surrender now what? And now I get to really see what it is that he's not only called but chosen me to do. And it's like I'm just so excited about it. And I was like, you know what? I need to continue unlocking the greatness, I need to continue doing those things. I think that's so perfect, that's necessary. I gotta keep that before me. I love that she it just fits so perfectly. And what I got from it is that I'm gonna have I'm gone. I will have difficult and uncomfortable days, but I cannot let that stop me. I can't let it stop me, and I'm so glad to have a sister doctor.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

like you that will push me let me tell you can we can we can we at least talk about can we talk about the day can we talk about that day because I don't know how I don't know if you understand it but I'm forever changed and my life will never be the same after that experience so guys we obviously were all in different corners of America everyone's spread out but we're in this online community we love Zendra if you've never heard of Zendra glass you need to hear about her go find out and she has this in-person retreat and we're all like coming together and like all of the pieces are moving. We were being pushed in corners by our circumstances by just lifelifing as you know being a human it gets techie and we all meet in this beautiful space to just unlock greatness to unlock the next level Zenja was saying you know the world is waiting on you right and so she puts us on the spot like really speaking directly to the deepest parts of us and at this retreat we start connecting we start sharing stories we start really interfacing with the things that either we've been holding at the back the back of our suitcase the back of our mind and just like bringing everything out and just like really being honest. So it was really amazing to connect with Teresa who I've been online with for a year and like meet and just bask in the energy and how God met us in that space and things started moving. And so Teresa did book her flight through like those third third third third third third parties so there was a warning there was no finding the the boarding pass there was none of that so we do this beautiful retreat and it comes time to go home and we're just having a great time we're laughing we're giddy we get into the shuttle to leave the hotel to go to the airport and we are late when I tell you we're late we're late because we were helping out another one of our sisters yes move through some through some things and we're in the shuttle and we're like oh it is 650 and the plane leaves at 720 get us there immediately and the airport's only 10 minutes away but still so in this car ride we just started having a great time me and um one of my friends that I met there just doing English accents we're doing Harry Potter we're doing the whole lot we're jesting with the driver and Teresa is like silently panicking but also having a great at the same time and then I say what I say what Aji I this is a time I need you to pray delayed but not denied delay that plane but don't deny Teresa Lord I said I need you to pray that go back to and because the whole time at the retreat it was so on point how I would say a word and God would answer. I would ask for something God would answer. So it was like I have gotten to this point now where I've really opened up my channel with Source God and it's just like amazing.

SPEAKER_00 24:55

So Teresa was like oh you got that line call and make a request and I said okay I got us I got us and I said God please delay her flight yeah yeah yeah and I just and I I felt it just go up and I felt it received three minutes later Teresa gets an email her flight delayed and it there was no need for it to be delayed there was no storms go in Florida there was nothing her flight delayed so then we're like laughing and so I didn't say it out loud but I said it convicted in the spirit I say God let's see how much fun we can have with this one I said take it even higher I said take it even higher like let show me how much we can really have fun with this the moment I open my eyes after I said that the car that drives in front of us says love God first did you not like you literally cannot make this up yes like as soon as I'm just like connecting with God putting in the press putting in the request saying you know what let's turn up this recipe make it a bit more fun we're jesting in the car we're having a great time we're like great her flight's delayed the driver is sitting there thinking like who did I just pick up exactly but he you know what though I felt even in that we were being a witness to this guy because he was like so on board he was not like um you know have some people you could tell whether they're irritated or annoyed no he was moving he was like I gotta he felt he was in alignment with us I gotta get them there and I mean he was maneuvering safe in a safe way he was maneuvering maneuvering through that traffic and I'm just sitting here like huh laughter doeth the heart good like medicine and at that moment the laughter and I think I heard you say that that's how you like to change moments but that's what I needed to get my mind off it so I could remember who I was to God.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Yeah not focus on the fact that we're running late and we're trying to get there flight delayed because that's what happens what did it say we had to talk about that at the retreat when your back is against the wall what do you do and I was putting into practice everything that not only I got reminded but honoring who I am and how I know how I've navigated my life and how God has blessed me with this ability and remembering that your words are powerful. If we just sit there and ruminate on everything that's going wrong we're gonna create that right so why would I use that power that evidence that gift that God has blessed us with the opportunity to be here and to do something with it. And I'm like I'm trusting you now God you told me to trust you so let me see what we can do together. Like we're in co-creation and show me your power show me your power show me your power but also show me mine right I'm made in your image to show me so that I know that nothing and no one has power over me in this life like nothing.

SPEAKER_00 27:52

That's right.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

Right? And so it was really just a moment to like test that and I know that God told me because I use the five senses to ask God how do you interface with me because if I have five senses God has five senses so how do you see me how do you touch me like hear me like all of the senses and God's most important message to me was I reach you through play. And so I just know that my ability to generate joy and play and enthusiasm is the highest currency that God can move through to orchestrate the best things. And so I was like we're gonna have a great time we're gonna get you on that plane she was like still like a little bit like but she was having a great time and when we got to the airport this car literally stopped exactly where we stopped God love God first. We get out I'm like come on Teresa let's go we're looking still there reminding us yeah the outside check-in wasn't there so we go in and you guys I'm not gonna lie that was the busiest TSA and like airport situation like you know how it can get a little crazy it was wild. Yes I don't know what Chicago had going on but it was packed. I hope the viewers are feeling this when they see this because I'm I'm I'm in it go ahead we get to the check-in and there's like just some young guy and he's just like oh you're trying to check in we're like we need to go to the flight is like right now but bear in mind you guys haven't even told you the time we arrive at 7 p.m the flight leaves at 720 yeah yeah and the TSA line is three hours long yeah yeah and so he's like idle he's like oh you need to speak to a supervisor supervisor way over there well okay we go to the supervisor we stand there the supervisor is doing the most intricate minor child travel check-in so that means what we have to stand there for literally 10 minutes and wait for him to process these minors that had to travel Teresa is like did they delay us some more and I'm like you're gonna get on this plane I just said you know what let me I said give me your phone let me do it I'm gonna wait hold on back up you got to do you gave me the speech before when we left and he told us we had to have a supervisor you said Teresa you cannot get in this line you got to go straight to the front yeah so she's like walking me through this she's like you got to go straight to the front and I immediately go to these courts and I I go under the cords and go right straight to the guy and then my beautiful sister she just starts speaking and the guy goes I'm I'm I'll be right with you I have somebody so now go ahead but yeah I had to tell them that you told me that you cannot go in this line you got to go straight to the front you got to go there. So I like I don't know what to do but I'm just gonna follow like no you're getting on this plane then he tells us this whole thing about like yeah I really can't it's 710 and your flight leaves a 720 he's like it's way too like way past 45 minute check-in thing and we're like yeah I was like is there anything else that you could do he was like well you could take it to the gate and see if they'll check it for you and I was like bingo I said thank you goodbye like I was like Teresa let's go so then we go to the TSA line and Teresa gets another pep top another pep top she stands in the line I'm like okay stay there I'm gonna see if there's a way to like go through because they had the plastic barriers they didn't just have the like ones that you could lift up and go under but they had the plastic ones at a certain point in the line but I was like okay this is where the like lift up barrier ends I was like we could go from here and then just tell everyone move please so then I go back to Teresa and I'm like Teresa and she before I even spoke she's like I'm just gonna uh I'm just gonna buy a new flight you know I'm just gonna stay in the line I said Teresa we're gonna go to the front of this line you're getting on this plane on this plane you're getting on this plane so I say but there's a thing on this side go this way and go under and tell everyone just tell everyone excuse me my flight is boarding right now don't even explain anything else just say my flight is boarding right now excuse me and she's she was a little bit like she was like okay and then she goes and then she like does a couple people then she saw and then she's like then she starts like picking up her little pep and I'm like excuse me I'm saying excuse me behind her she's saying excuse me my flight is boarding and then she starts to go and then for some reason like God just stopped me for a second and I also realized like logically okay like my flight's not for two hours so like I don't have to push in as well so I just like got her to a certain point and then I stood and then I was where God had me in the line I watched Teresa go through and I watched her like panicking and then you got to the conveyor belt and you didn't have a bin yeah look tag I'm in there we go listen and I I get there I push through and it was I didn't even see what was happening at the time but I could hear that voice just saying you can't wait.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

Just tell them that people will understand. Yeah they've been there some have been there they will understand and I grabbed my suitcase and literally just started saying I I gotta go I gotta get I got to get through I got to get through I gotta go excuse me excuse me I got to get through and it was like I kid you not it just opened up people just literally stepped out of the way they just stepped out of the way stepped out of the way and I went that thing was like seven or eight rows back and we were already to the front and I went around the loop I just said I got to go I got to go excuse me past all of those people that were waiting at least 20 people or more and went around and I get there it was one guy because the lady was there was one guy and I said I'm sorry I got to go and he said oh I'm sorry I'm I'm late too and and my flight is already they're already bored and and for some reason I didn't push back with him because it's like you know what we're in the same space because now I'm finding myself now praying and hoping for him that he gets there too because he's just like right in front of me. What's it gonna be for me to go in front you know what I mean we're in the same spot and so I'm I'm calm and and you know what they say kind words turn away wrath harsh words you stirred up I'm calm humble because I've gotten right here I'm like I know God didn't take me this far to you know to I'm here I get there I got this huge luggage this is not a carry-on this is my luggage and so I'm just standing just waiting he's going I'm going he's putting his things in a bin because he has just a carry-on and we go around he goes on through bless his heart I pray he made it and I get up to the space and he says your purse needs to be in a bin your cell phone needs to be in a bin and I'm standing there like I don't have a bin and the lady there I look to her and I said oh could I please just put my purse and my phone in your bin please she was like yeah sure I'm like put it in there here goes my bag I'm praying like grace and mercy Lord grace mercy my big luggage is going through it stops it's not even supposed to be on there that's that thing is huge. So I'm like did it get stuck did it get stuck he says you have a laptop in your bag and I go I said yes but it's off he said no your electronics needs to be in the bin and I said the way I packed it I said you could zip right up front and you're gonna see a purple laptop bag just pull it out and that's it and so he pulls it out didn't fuss or anything he pulls it out and he says but I still got to put it back through so I'm like okay now it's gonna take more time so here while she's going through all of that I'm still in the line but I'm cheering her and I'm saying to everyone around me that started I had no idea you were there.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

She has a flight to catch her flight is boarding her gate is closing right now. And so then they just were silent and for me whilst I was watching her yes I'm pushing her forward it was also a learning moment for me where it's like when I tell you to move Aji whoever I call to defend you will be there.

SPEAKER_00 35:25

You will not even need to know because I had no idea you were back there I had no back girl letting them know I had your back right letting them know that she needs to get through and it's like once I did that he had he said I gotta put it back through he puts the laptop through handed me my laptop bag I got my purse out of the thing the lady says here's your purse and your phone I said thank you so much she says good luck on your flight she's gone my luggage comes through everything was clear. So now I have everything and I'm like checking my phone okay well which gate so I knew H5. Look at that ooh holy holy holy so I'm standing here looking now which direction to go because this beautiful neurodivergent brain is like this is not the time to get crossed up and going in the wrong direction. So I'm standing there looking at the sign and then I hear my beautiful sister daughter's voice what be saying Teresa go you gotta go I'm like go where so I just turn left and I just take off I get to I see H1 I'm like okay right direction H1 H2 I get to H3 and I hear final boarding for American Airlines to and I'm like now my heart's like really going I'm like H3 I don't see anything else it cuts off there's like restaurants and things here and it's like the spirit is just leading me just keep going straight that street call straight just keep going straight I just kept going in that direction. Then I see four then I see five I'm like ah get to the gate get up there to the lady and I rush up there she's standing there and she goes do you have your boarding pass and she's looking at this huge suitcase she says you have your boarding pass I'm like no I said the gentleman he told me just to bring it here and then they would be able to board it I don't have a boarding pass. I just have an email telling me the flight was delayed or the picture that I let you see. Yeah and she goes okay well what's your last name I said you know Webb W E B B she looks I don't see anything so I'm like oh boy so she's like go to the other side let her check when I got to that side she found it she said okay I have you here so I just need to scan your ticket I don't have a ticket this is all I have she's like okay no problem she looks at me she says you're okay you're fine I'm like okay while I'm waiting for her to do that my beautiful sister daughter comes running up Teresa I'm like she's still there let me tell you something it's almost like a natural type spiritual how when the Lord tells us what he'll never leave us and he'll never forsake us and even though we don't see him I didn't know she was still there she was still there I didn't see her in the line until she pops up go go it's like every time I was getting hung up or every time that little thought of discouragement that that hesitancy every time it came it was like she was there as a reminder to push to push no you're getting on this plane so at this time I was so happy to do that you were and I and that's why I I knew it was so genuine and God was doing so many things on so many different levels not only was he showing us his power he was showing you your power and then he was showing me my power that even though when he says mustard seed yeah that's all it took for me that's all it took for me and he was showing us that literally we can move mountains the flight was supposed to leave we were past the delay time and everything and then as soon as she got down the aisle to board the plane she just starts crying and that's an amazing also testament of like there is going to be a moment where you are truly truly truly released of everything that you've carried yeah it was around the journey you let go of stuff but like when you know like you're being held yeah you just get to let go and that's like what this season of life I feel like is is showing us in general like things get taken away but it's because you're being held for something new. Yeah no matter what it looks like and no matter what the physical eyes see sometimes we got to use those spiritual eyes the divine eyes and we gotta trust that our father's with us and like you said he has physical beings our support and angels and all the angels that love us and want to do good. And the funniest thing is remember in the car how I said to you guys I said God let's see how far we can take it how much fun can we have like let's let's just go all the way when I tell you Teresa boarded her plane she had support getting on they gave her water she was she was like empathized with she gets to her seat and after she sits down then the pilot boards the plane like you cannot make that up I told to show me like how much fun can we have with this the pilot boarded the plane after Teresa and she was the last person aboard the flight like it was just amazing yeah it was divine it was divine and I couldn't wait to text my sister I was like I can I gotta tell her I gotta what you don't know and I'm just remembering now is my gate was after you which was great you were five I was nine and when I was walking to my gate there was six individuals whose flight left way after you 750 and they all got denied six people so it was so much evidence to me of when God says yes nobody can say no when we go delayed but not denied so it's like the recipe was we were so specific we asked for fun we asked for delayed but not denied we asked to see the extremes that this could go to like we asked for so much and we got all the evidence so it's just like six people Teresa six and their plane was their final boarding call wasn't even over it was 650 and you know we were there at 720 something yes yes you were on your flight was supposed to leave at 720 their flight was supposed and even your delay time was still only 735 their flight didn't leave till 8 pm and they six people got denied so I just sat in awe at my gate and I was like whoa that was wild can we talk about the chosen ones again like it was just so and not to mention too when I got there the seat next to me was empty every other seat on the plane was filled and not only that I was the last seat very last person to board the plane and when I sat there I began to baw again especially when I heard the pilot come on and say that he was held up he was delayed I'm like ooh the prince of Persia he got held up Lord I'm thinking to myself God thank you Lord and then spirit just began to say I'm omnipotent and I'm depresent I'm the only one that could be with that pilot holding him up and still in an empty seat right here waiting for you as well waiting waiting he can be all things every place all times he is God and that right there proved to me that when God before you he's more than the entire world against you who can be against you come on and I'm like I watch my sister pray now I'm gonna I'm just gonna be honest with you Lord God I thank you and she began to pray it's like you don't we don't some things we accept and we don't have to and I was trying to accept the fact that the flight was leaving without me and my sister's like no you're getting on the plane please those of you all that when you watch and when you see this understand this you don't have to accept that you don't have to accept it and I'm gonna tell you proximity matters can I just say that proximity matters who you have around you make sure that you have people surrounding you that have your back people that are gonna speak life into you and push you into your gift push you into purpose people that are gonna speak and not let you give in to the wrong thing that's what my sister did for me she was she was refusing she didn't care what I said she said you're getting on that plane you're getting on From the moment we got on the van to go to the airport, she was adamant about that. You're getting on that plane and was not gonna let my mind detour from it. People, proximity matters. Surround yourself that with people, I think that was Oprah, that lift you up, that inspire you, that bring out the best in you. You have to surround yourself with the right people. Why? Because some of us, it literally can mean delayed flight, missing a flight, or being the very last person to see the favor of God and his hand in it and making that flight. It could literally mean life or death. Surround yourself with the right people. I'm serious. That's that that was, I'm telling you, that was amazing.

SPEAKER_01 44:48

I just got emotional because this is also like a full circle moment of really being seen and valued for that nature that I inherently have. I am a pusher, I'm a trailblazer, I'm a way maker, like that's who I am. When I tell you, I literally have it written down. And it's like just people seeing it, like you resonating that, and you don't know. Like I literally have written here the first day of our retreat was Enger when she asks, Who are you? Yeah, and I literally have written in the sight of God, I am a magnificent pro magnificence propeller, I am a destiny helper, I am a way maker, I am a disruptor, I am a liberator, I am a harmony creator, right? And so it's just like you actually resonating with that in me, whereas other seasons in my life, it's like the ones that haven't seen me from the eyes of God have just not appreciated what I'm wanting to do. Not even some, I don't even want to, it's just innate, it's just how I am. Yeah, and so to like be loved for it, it's like so new to me. So for a moment there I got emotional. But like I want to bring it in the logical side. Also, my sister was getting in the line. My mother Teresa, she said, I'm gonna get a new flight. I thought that's about $700, babes, for a one-way. We're not doing that. Like the logical side of me was like immediately no, but like God was also like so in there, and it just was like a reminder of like this is the power of what you do for people, and like we just actually owning it instead of humbling it and playing small, and just like I needed all of you, I needed you at that moment, and that's who showed up.

SPEAKER_00 46:32

And I am, and I think it was because of what we had just experienced, yeah, day before, and what we closed out with because you got up there Sunday. And when I tell you, oh, I can't wait till we get them the videos, and you spoke. I'm telling you, it was like the residue was just like lingering. And I believe it was from the foundation of what was laid from unlocking greatness retreat, it just carried us in through to the now, right here today. And you were not going to be denied, and you were not gonna allow me to be denied. And it was like you were speaking to me at that moment, and you would think, okay, and that's another reason why humility comes into play. Because don't allow yourself to get in a space where it becomes an age thing, it becomes an experience thing, it becomes um an educated thing. No, no, when you're in the moment, recognize when something is there to lift you up. I could not carry my my sister, was like, mm-mm. No, mm-mm, mm-mm. Come on, come on, come on, recognize, and now I thought I knew who I was. I know clearly who I am now in God. I know clearly He loves me enough to take a total stranger, several, to root for me, to push me. It's like my sister daughter here has her own flight, and she chose to uh uh I'm gonna see this through. My flight leaves this time, I'm gonna see this through. And your flight was leaving not very far from the time that that my that you ended up taking off right, and it's like she chose to, I'm seeing this through. I'm gonna uh let me tell you something. I saw you in that moment and all of what God had. You know what I'm saying? What you wrote down, we saw it in action, and that's literally what this whole unlocking greatness retreat was about. Taking action, and what I say, do a thing so God can do a thing.

SPEAKER_01 48:58

We we did a thing, we did a thing, and God did his thing. So interesting is I said at the beginning of this year, 2026 is a God did it year. And so, and then you started saying do a thing, and it was like it's like confirmation, but 2026 isn't we it's gonna be wherever we end up, and it doesn't even have to be miles, even if it's miles in the spirit, wherever we end up, yeah, God did that. He did the odds were stacked beyond against you.

SPEAKER_00 49:34

You said that six people, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 49:37

Six people were denied, yes, and they were fighting the people at the gate, and I was just like, Oh, well, but that's seven, but that's seventh, but that's seventh, but that's seventh. I said, My sister was blessed and heavily protected, period.

SPEAKER_03 49:57

Come on, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 49:59

I'm telling you, um, and I'm forever grateful. I will never ever forget that day, and I and I believe God had that to happen as a reminder for us. Wait, can we go back to even when you said that the car, love God first, was in front of us on the shuttle, and then when we pulled into the airport, yes, you said that the car there again, like as a reminder, love God first, like stay focused, stay focused, stay focused. I am with you, stay focused.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

And even when you were going through the line, yeah, I was talking to people who had anything to say, and I was shutting it down, yes, and then I was praying for you, and then I was like, She's gonna she's gonna make it on the plane, she's gonna make it on the plane. And then I said to the guy behind me, I was like, I really hope she makes it on the plane, and like kind of like got him to like be on board with that so we can have some more prayers and recruit and some prayers, come in agreement, sir. Yeah, and so it's just like and don't look back, keep going. That's right, going, and yeah, people who need to see you will cheer you on, will defend you, will be there for you, and trust that the way is already being made, your step has already been orchestrated. You took it from me. I was you took it literally out of my mouth. You took it from me. Yeah, that's what he did. The only lesson that was really monumental here was the only thing that can stop you is the limitations that you place on yourself. That is it, yeah. Because Teresa's only thing was also thinking, like, oh my gosh, I don't want to push like past all these people say good, they're gonna get it. These people, someone 90% of people have been late to something. Every in fact, everyone every single day has been late for something. So no one is even gonna think about it. You're one person, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:46

You said it, you said they'll understand. You said they'll understand, they will understand, and I'm like, you know what? My sister's gonna understand. I I'm boldness, bold and courageous. It just and and that's the thing, is that that's always been in me. Yes, that's always been in me.

SPEAKER_01 52:07

That's what I admire about you. You guys are only getting like this moment with us, but Teresa is a powerhouse when she starts praying. I can't really describe it, but like I'm just so like magnetized to her because like it's almost like for a moment she just opens the gates of heaven and like just and it's like God is here, like I don't know, and I love it, and like she does it with such a warmth and such a honestly, like genuinely like a cradling. Like, I feel cradled by your words when you're really praying, and like you're pulling it from your heart because you are a very heart-based person, and it's so rare to have that in this world. Yeah, feeling like really feeling like you love so much, but like God is also like this season is also time for you to be loved by like you've given so much, but your time to receive is also now, right? And so, like, that's a part of like this connection that we have because it's nothing to do with anything, it's just like give and receive love, and and it will be equal because of where it's coming from, it's really coming from the heart, like you really pour from your heart, and I'm really pouring from my heart. Like you feel that, right? Yeah, I'm getting emotional.

SPEAKER_00 53:31

I do, and you are so like spot on right now because that's literally what I was about to say, is what God was speaking to me. When I sat on the plane, he said, the way has already been made. All I had to do was step under that, step under the barrier, step under the barrier, step under, step over, just go.

SPEAKER_01 53:50

That's where you go, and you are getting prepared for takeoff.

SPEAKER_00 53:54

Prepare, it's just opened up, it just opened up, and he said, The way is already being made, and that's what I was given with my business, with your business. The way is already being made. We just gotta show up.

SPEAKER_01 54:06

We just gotta feel like right now, what you said is so true about being bold, and it's like our business really needs us to be bold at this moment, and I will hold my hands up and say, like, I will like make a line action, and then what do I do? I throw the towel in and like it's no more. And so this was like to champion, to clarify, to like go and be bold, and so it's like I needed to be with you guys, I needed to feel loved, I needed to just connect and just play and just have fun and just also be elevated, restore what was it, restoration, activation, amplification. I needed to go through that in the retreat, and like, how are we gonna show up more boldly in our businesses right now? That's really the question that we're left with from all of that. But like, how are we gonna show up boldly? Show up boldly.

SPEAKER_00 54:58

I thank you so much for that. I thank you, thank you for your beautiful, considerate, and kind brain to say, you know what, there is no gatekeeping in the unlocking greatness community. There's no gatekeeping, there's no big I, little you, none of that. None, nobody feels threatened by anybody, there's no competition, there's none of that. We are like bring it, but our sisters in the community, they were just like beaming to hear what we experienced and what we went through. There was no cattiness, there was nobody like, you know, because they were it was all like smiles and like this is what it's about. And then what people begin to say, I'm there next year. I'm like, I hope Dr. Z is hearing this because people are already making plans. This we were on the first, but people are already making plans. I hope she knows that this thing is just gonna just grow.

SPEAKER_01 55:52

Yeah, I really pray that it does for that.

SPEAKER_00 55:54

It is, it is because people already we're sharing it, and people already saying in the community, I'm gonna be there. Yeah, I'm going to be there. And and I wouldn't care if you know, if it was sooner.

SPEAKER_01 56:08

Yeah, honestly, I was like, Can we do this?

SPEAKER_00 56:10

Sooner than this time. Look, sooner than this time, next year, if it was sooner, I'm good with that, Dr. C. Right.

SPEAKER_01 56:18

From our hour or your ears to God's sister, one of our sisters was like, We need to do an academy, we need a university, we need to do a semester. Did you see me put that in there? Unlocking greatness university. It was like UGU. I was like, It's so funny. UGU. Even one of the sisters had messaged me and been like, Oh, can you please post that in in the main community and not the inner circle? Because I can't be in the inner circle. I was like, babes, I already posted it in the main community. I was never like in a gatekeep. Like, I want us all to win. Like, I want everyone to win. Everyone deserves to win. And it's the first time where I'm able to have that energy, and it's not like uh, it's not taken the wrong way. Because in in, and this is really important for anyone who's just experiencing the grief of like outgrowing friendships. And in other relationships, it's been like me wanting to be great has always been shamed, or me wanting greatness for all of us is like, oh, you think I'm not good enough? That's not where my mind is coming from. I want us all to excel because I see the excellence in you, I see the excellence in me, and I want to live out that potential actually, not just daydream about it, not just see it in a vision, not just talk about it. I want it to happen. And so this is also like a learning experience for me where I'm also not being prosecuted for wanting greatness.

SPEAKER_00 57:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:35

Like it's really accepted, it's like accepted, it's embraced, it's it's it's it's cheered on. Yeah, and that's alien to me. The same way you've had like your experiences and you had to like clear the the feelings that you have. This is a clearing moment for me where it's like I'm building relationships that actually want to be propelled, that actually want that and they value it, and they they they they are like, I love it.

SPEAKER_00 57:57

More, please. Yeah, I love it too. And I'm telling you, it's like even just sitting here and I'm hearing you talk. It's I believe that's why God says, love thy neighbor as thyself. Because we are one, we are we are each other, right? So loving my neighbor is like loving myself. So when you hate somebody, it's like hating yourself, it's like hating yourself. It's like we are all created in his image. When you win, I win. When I win, you win. We all win. You do it the way that God has given you to do it. Whatever vision, don't worry about who's not on board because he didn't give it to them, he gave it to you. I don't care how strange it sounds, how off the wall it sounds, whatever. You do it the way he gives it to you. And when we do that, it's gonna work. Yeah, we're following the manufacturers. What?

SPEAKER_01 58:50

Guide. And that brings me to thank you, Doctor. Bring this to a close and how we were left with the closing statement of amplification.

SPEAKER_00 58:58

Amplification. Come on, amplify.

SPEAKER_01 59:00

And then now amplify everything. Not only that, the connection that we all had with all of the girls and women that we met was amplified, our connection amplified. Now our clarity amplified, our love amplified. Yes. So now it's time to like just really put that boldness into action. And so I have now got to go ahead and break my non-posting hiatus because I took a break. Because one things were getting crazy, two, then we traveled, and now we are restored and we are ready to go. And so I just thank you for holding space with me and having this conversation. It's so fun.

SPEAKER_00 59:37

I do too, and this is evidence of it too. We gotta get back to it. And this is amplified, it's jump start. I just want you to know, my sweet sister daughter, whenever you are ready, whenever you want to do this, we can do this.

SPEAKER_01 59:49

Okay, I love it. If you sat through this, thank you so much. We really appreciate it. You can follow us on TikTok, Instagram. For me, it's just my name, Aji Yah, and Teresa.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:01

Coach Teresa Webb on all platforms. Yes, Teresa with the H. Thank you so kindly. I love you, man, sister.
