And um, she's gonna share her experience, and I'm gonna be sharing with her principles around how do you bounce back from a job loss after 21 years from a job that you loved and adored. So, hi Danielle. Welcome to my new podcast, the Divine Manifestation Pathway Podcast. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 5:27

I'm well, thank you. Thank you, coach, for having me. It's an honor. And uh new last name is Muckle, rhymes with Buckle. Buckle. Okay, I thought with the L.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

Okay, Patrick, I tried. I tried. So, you know, I've been thinking about this uh interview, and I wasn't gonna do it today because I went to my eye doctor and he put some drops in there. So if you're watching this and if you see me kind of whatever, but don't even pay no attention to that. You just go ahead and receive the word of the spirit for you. So let's talk about your story. Yes, here you were working on the same job for the federal government for how long?

SPEAKER_01 6:09

22 years. So I started off as an intern back in 2003, uh, after my graduate studies, and I went into the field of procurement, had never heard of it before uh my internship, but I really took a liking to it. My undergraduate studies um is in computer programming. So I had a few years programming, you know, uh with a job and got with the federal government and my career just skyrocketed. I took a liking to procurement, it made sense to me. Um, I felt that I was making a difference. Um, I was responsible for taxpayer dollars, I was doing something for my fellow citizens, and it just felt good. And so 22 years, I I knew without a shadow of a doubt, I would literally retire from there in my 60s.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

I knew I knew that was your dream, that was your focus. Uh uh this is where I'm going to retire from at 62, guys. Uh uh Daniel, she's so smart. She got she got more uh uh letters behind her name than than the alphabet for all her certifications. So here she was, a dedicated employee, loved her job. She's very diligent, she's very faithful. I know her. She's detailed, and so you love your job. You were making good money, great connections at your at your work.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Yes, very much so. And so I went from I think in total I worked with um five different federal agencies um from Homeland Security, IRS, FAA, and a few others in between. And it was just very interesting. Um, you know, I don't think a lot of people realize when you are a uh civilian employee uh for the federal government, you also swear an oath that you didn't know that. Absolutely. We raised our right hand, you swear an oath, you sign that oath. Um, so it was it was serious business for me, and I took my job very seriously. Um and I felt honored to do my my job. So when earlier this year, well, last year in 25, uh the new administration came in and they were making the cuts. The first thing that struck me, um, and I think you and I spoke about this, was how so many people were saying that federal employees were not doing their job, they didn't deserve their job. And it it was personal for me, right? Because I said, there are bad apples in any industry and any job setting, but the majority of the employees that I have worked with, we we did our job and we did it well. So it it was almost like a punch, a gut punch for me. And I I wrestled with that, and then um when all of the talk started that, oh, we're cutting jobs and we're gonna do reduction in force or riff. And I said, this is crazy. Like, what did we do that was so wrong? We're not bad people, we're literally doing our job, what we've been asked to do, what we signed up to do, and we're supporting our country. And as time went on, and it was determined that there were gonna be cuts in my organization. So you're talking about a department that maybe had 600 people, they had to cut it down to 300.

SPEAKER_02 10:07

Really? And um, what were your feelings when you were receiving those emails? I know you were receiving emails, you understand, you understood there was gonna be a big cut in your department every day when you looked at your email, when you talked to your coworkers, your supervisor, what were you beginning to feel?

SPEAKER_01 10:31

Fear. Fear, anger, disbelief. Um, because every day it was something new, and then on top of that, um, and I'll just say it like it is the new oversight that was in there was almost like an intimidation force questioning us about what we're doing and walking around asking these questions. So I was I almost felt intimidated too to do the job that I had been assigned to do because it was a lot of Mother May before we could even process the projects that we were working on. So that type of fear and intimidation had set in. And um my mind immediately went back, and I think I told you this to when I was newly divorced in 1999, and I was transitioning between jobs, and I had my baby, she was three at the time, and to think to be unemployed, and I remember that feeling of worrying about money and how am I gonna take care of her, and that fear rose up inside of me as I wrestled with the fact that I may be about to lose my job, and um I would just cry. I had friends, God bless them, who would just sit on the phone with me and just let me cry. And God blessed my husband, who every evening, just about when I would come home from work, I would just cry like I'm about to lose my job. Like this is all I've known for most of my adult life. Because once I left computer programming, um, this I really went settled into the federal government. I had a couple of jobs in between, but it it wasn't career, right? It was just jobs to get me through. But as far as my career, I really dedicated my studies. I went to school again, you know, was certified, had the highest levels of certification that I could in my field. And so I really took it serious and to think that literally in the blink of an eye, it was all about to change.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Yeah, you you you said that so eloquently. And uh during our sessions, you know, I one thing I said to her is I want you to feel your feelings. Remember that? Yeah. I said, feel your feelings of fear. Because folks, what what happened was with any of us, I mean, this was her dream. She said over and over again, I'm gonna retire at the age of 62. And one of the main principles, okay, drum roll, is that your job is not your source. I think we're finding that out now. Your current business is not your source, your contracts are not your source, those are only temporary channels that God is using to provide for you. So, therefore, if God is your unlimited source and supply, there are many more channels that can open up for you. But Danielle was very focused on this is her job, this is where she's gonna retire from. And so when you when you got the notice that you needed to resign, is that what you call it? Resign, what was that like for you? That final realization of wow, this is ending.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

At first it was almost a relief because I was like, wow, I'm retiring at what 52 years old, 10 years before I had planned. And I was like, well, I'll receive my pension, it's a fraction of what would have been, but I was like, okay, that's fine. And then I thought, oh my God, I'm not prepared. I didn't save the money in my 401k like I should have. I didn't pay off bills. Oh my God, this is terrible. This is terrible. That's all I kept thinking. And um, in that moment, in the entire time, I realized I love God and I trust God and I believe in God, but I realized I had not put all my trust in him for my entire being. I I realized that I was working every day because I thought I was in control of caring for myself and earning the money that I needed, not realizing that yes, he has gifted me with skills and abilities, but God is truly my source, and I had to learn that in this process. 2025 was a hard year for me. It really was because after I made the decision to accept the offer to resign and to um receive my early retirement, then my husband and I moved to from Maryland to South Carolina for his job. And while I was in South Carolina, I was just, it was just he and I. And it was lonely for me, but it was necessary because in that time that I was there, which was about eight or nine months, I realized that God is all I need. And if he could give me that career, he can give me any other career. But I first had to figure out and to learn and to hurt and to feel and to heal and know that God is God and that he is in control of everything, but I had to release the reins and me thinking that I knew everything, that I was in control of everything, that I had to figure everything out, and during that season, it was like my money was funny. I kept chasing behind my money, and bills were coming up, and no matter what I I tried to do, um I couldn't get it done, but somehow it was done, and the bills were paid, but on paper, none of it made sense, and that's when I had to realize a couple of things. Um you can't put new wine into old wine skins. You were telling me that all the time, telling me that. And I realized as my mindset was changing and God was healing my heart and my heart, the old way of thinking, I had to step away from that, thinking that I was so in control and to let God be God in my life. And I also heard, if you abide in me, I will give you the desires of your heart. And I thought in my mind that meant to do things or to be something that was uncomfortable for me. But throughout that time of being consecrated and away from everybody and just down there in my beautiful southern home, God showed me that I want you to trust me. I want you to know that I am going to care for you, never leave you. Those jobs can come and go, but I'm God of the universe and I love you, and I will give you everything you need. But first trust me. And I had to learn that, and I thought I knew that. You know, I felt like my entire life I've loved God, I've been faithful in my spiritual connection with God, but during that time, it was truly just me and God. It was reading, it was meditating, it was sitting in nature with complete silence, woods, and just being still. And you kept telling me, be still, do not you know.

SPEAKER_02 19:12

I I said to her, This is the time she's a doer. Because people were sending her jobs, and I and she would tell you, I don't really tell my clients what to do. Uh I I I may share principles, but I said to her, I don't feel like you need to be looking for a job. I think you need to be looking for yourself. I think you need to take this time because I knew that she could afford to do that and not do but to be. What are you what is your thinking around working? Are you in control of your own life? Is your 401k your God? What about all of your high credit scores? What are you looking at? Is your identity uh different now? Who are you now? What do you really love to do? So it was all of that. And boy, everybody was sending her jobs. I said, I don't think it's time. I said, you do what you want to. I said, but I don't think it's time. And uh I said, this is you finding out who you are, because all of her life she's been doing and working and analytical and providing for herself. And she was her own God without God. And so when it came to money and the profession, but she said, What am I gonna do, coach? I said, Walk in nature, sleep, rest, uh, what commune, whatever that looks like for you. And that's when your new identity began to and heal, y'all. She had to go through the grief and loss of what was. What those were her friends that was her building she worked in, she knew the programs. Who in the world am I now?

SPEAKER_01 21:08

That's so true, and I that rest, I didn't realize how much I needed rest because sleeping in and resting, that was lazy in my mind, right? And so I kept cleaning my house, and I remember telling you, What are you doing every day? Oh, I'm cleaning because I felt like I had to do something, and you were like rest. And when I finally rested, I could heal, I really could. And then I also you made mention of the credit score, and you and I spoke about this along with the 401k. My credit score got down to the lowest it had ever been, and I know for a fact that was intentional for me to see. Once again, I'm not in control of anything, God is in control. Of the entire universe. And that same God loves me like how I better than I could ever love my daughter. And what he showed me was your credit score could be zero, and I can still give you the desires of your heart. Absolutely. I walked that through. Bad credit, no job, or retired, bought a Mercedes Benz. Bad credit, no job, going on vacations, traveling around the world still. And he it was in that moment I realized it was bigger than just me losing my job. It was me finding me and learning in depth who God is to me. Because I've I've studied the Bible, I've been to different conferences at church and um, you know, gone to church on Sundays, checking the box, thinking I was in true relationship, but in that season, I really got to see that I'm responsible for some things, right? Because I have a job to do. But I must put my trust in God in the spirit to know that He will give to me everything that I need. He already has.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Suddenly something can happen for you. You're very regimented. I always kid her. One thing I'm gonna say about her when it came to when it comes to coaching, she committed herself every week. I don't care where she is. When she got married, I said, don't send me no update, no weekly update, because it's your honeymoon. Girlfriend send an update anyway. So that tells me that the golden threads that weave her being, that she is certainly a woman who is dedicated, who is faithful. So I knew that if she would allow God to deal with her, to work in her decades of old beliefs. So what she was doing during this time was changing her old beliefs, changing her old behaviors, changing her mindset because insanity is doing the same thing, expecting a different result. So her identity had to change, and that only happens in solitude.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

This is true, this is so true. And it was in that time also where I heard you, right? I always say, coach, tell me what to do. And you you were like, I don't tell my clients, but I wouldn't get a new job right now. And I heard you, and I still was going on the job interviews, applying for these jobs. And the funny thing was none of it panned out. It was just like the resumes were going in a dark hole. I would go on these great interviews, never hear back. And I it was almost like one day I woke up and said, stop, just stop, just just be. Continue to heal, continue to enjoy your husband, continue to enjoy South Carolina, travel when you want to, and just be. And in that moment when I had decided it is what it is, I get a phone call for a job interview for a position that I had applied for so long ago I had totally forgot. And um they set me up for an interview and then they canceled. And I said, Oh my gosh, okay. And then I received another job interview, and it was with a private company working for the federal government as a contractor. It was the type of work that I had been doing for 22 years. I could do it with my eyes closed. So you pay a lot of money, uh, an astronomical amount of money. It was remote, it was I I could work anywhere in the country. But something in my gut didn't feel warm and fuzzy about that position. But I continue with the interview and I accepted the offer. And the job that I really wanted then contacted me probably four weeks after I had accepted the offer. I had not started that job yet because I had to do a background check security clearance. So I was in the security clearance process, and the job with the state of Maryland contacted me and they were ready to interview with me. And I got excited. I think I called you. I said, this is a mission that matters, is supporting fellow citizens in the state of Maryland, the most vulnerable population. I'll still be doing the same type of work, but for my immediate community. And you said to me, and I told you to pay it of the two jobs, and you said, You don't even sound excited about that other job. When you speak about this new job, you just radiate. And I said, I am excited, it's purpose, it matters. And then I thought to myself, what is money when God has showed me his hand? I said, if I were to take that other job just because it made more money, I was like, honey, you would be putting all of the hard-earned work, that new wine, into your old wineskin if you had gone back. And I I declined that offer.

SPEAKER_02 28:27

Um, they and you know, when you asked me about, I said, I said, now you asked me. I said, but I don't feel right in my spirit about that high-paying job. I said, you don't seem excited. I said, are you taking it just for the money?

SPEAKER_01 28:42

And I was.

SPEAKER_02 28:43

And I said, never do anything just for money. I said, but this second job, you seem excited, you seem, I said, uh, you sort of lit up like a Christmas tree. You've you seem energetic. And God can bring to you what you desire without having money in unlimited ways. That's right. But that first job with all the money, and I'm like, go back. What has God been speaking to you about him being your unlimited source and supply?

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Exactly. And I realized even in the week or two of that higher paying job trying to woo me in, you know, I I told him, thank you. I will even help you find someone else for this position, but I'm not interested at all. Um it was almost, I felt like I was gonna go into a place that had changed so much based on the current climate of our country. And I was um it didn't seem like I would enjoy the work like I once did, and I knew I I wouldn't. And so when that second job um was presented to me and the mission behind it with the state and um how my work would impact the community, it made me feel good. And then on top of that, which was so funny to me, my entire career, I shied away from management, um, I shied away from executive leadership. Um, I had been presented with those opportunities throughout my career and never really was interested in it. So when I received the offer, the second offer, it was for a deputy director position. And everyone who has known me throughout my career said, I can't believe you're taking that job. And I said, you know what? I have to take it. I said, because it is the assignment that has been given to me, and I have ran from it for so long, and I realized I may have been um causing other people who were supposed to glean something from me that they may have missed out, and it's not just about me, it's about a mission, it's about purpose, it's about ministry wherever I go. And so I realized I'm here in this new position. Um my goal is to be used by God, to be um effective within the organization, and to help as much as I can um to be impactful and to make a difference in someone else's life.

SPEAKER_02 32:01

You know, I love that. You know, I I see you as always being a leadership person. You know, uh I I see that in you when you when she surrendered and when she within herself, and it wasn't easy, it didn't happen overnight, it was many weird days. Who am I now? It was many awkward days, but when she healed, uh she said to herself, I'm a different person. And so what happened was her mindset aligned with something different. See, you can't go back to the old. Once your consciousness expands, she couldn't go back to the old. That's not who she is anymore. And so when this other job, uh her other career came up, I I just said to her, which I rarely say, I said, that's it right there. And she is in a I call a boss lady. She's the boss lady and uh she's gonna be serving and helping and being purposeful. And I tell you, God has a million ways to get your desires to you, and in that God never stopped and has not stopped amazing me. Um, did you have food to eat? Did you absolutely all your bills paid? Did you went on trips, you were able to buy stuff, you all of the above.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

And that's when I realized um I really have put my faith and my trust in these earthly, earthly things, you know, and I would say, oh my gosh, my 401k is the money is leaving. And you were like, Well, why did you have it in the first place if it were for a time such as this? And I said, Oh, okay, you know, and I realized that these constructs that we think are so important, and it must be this way in order to live. God blew all of that up right in front of my face, and then still let me see that I was surviving. I went with, I had no lack, I still lived in abundance, I still was well taken care of, and I could feel his love every day. And while, yes, it hurt so bad for somebody to rip away from you what you thought um was a guarantee, and to just feel tossed out into the trash because that's what I felt like. I mean, anybody who works at a job, especially in the federal government, if you're retiring, you're normally you have a ceremony, you're presented your flag, all these plaques. So for them to literally just walk me out the door, a perfect stranger, and say good luck. And I looked back, was like, wow.

SPEAKER_02 35:10

I didn't realize that's what happened at the end.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

Wow. So she felt betrayed. I did. Wow. I did, and then to go from that and less than a year later, having gone through all that season of God just working and wrestling with me, to be in a place now where I would have never imagined it. I would have never imagined it. I I work with some great people, really nice people. Um it's almost a very political position as well.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

It is.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

And I um I'm just honored. And what made me stop and laugh, years ago, I had said, I'm gonna work for the state of Maryland and I'm gonna work in uh politics. Never thought any more of it. And to think, probably 10 years later, I literally am there doing exactly what I said I was gonna do. That's when I realized we are the creators, like you say all the time, of our future. Um your words have power, be careful what you speak, and that was one thing I tried my best to do throughout that entire season was to speak life and positivity. And I kept remembering and saying to myself, God loves me, none of this has caught him by surprise, he knows the plans that he has for me. All these things are working together for my good, and I would just try to um watch your shows, watch different um sermons, different Christian sermons, read. I was trying to just read and edify my spirit, and the one thing that really helped me, and my husband will tell you this. Um, this book is it you can heal your life? Louise Hay. She spoke. She was a bad girl, and I read that book. I just kept reading it, kept reading it, and it was a story in there of a woman who had vision problems, and as she was doing the work, she didn't need her glasses. And Louise said, Well, it's because your spirit has healed, you've worked on yourself. And the woman said, That's impossible, that couldn't be the case. And one day she woke up and she couldn't see. I promise you, I feel like now I have when I put my glasses on, my vision is blurry. And I said, I accept this. I said, because I'm healing from the inside out, and I'm okay with that. And I'm I can drive at night now without my glasses. And I said, Lord, the manifestation of just releasing all that hurt and pain is coming out in my physical being. And I for sure, my vision is is a telltale. I literally have tried to put my glasses on and read my laptop, and it's blurry. So I have to say it's amazing, it truly is amazing to me.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

It's the amazing grace and love of God for you and for everybody who's either watching or listening uh to this. And so I got a question for you. Do you feel restored?

SPEAKER_01 38:47

I do.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

Are are you healed emotionally?

SPEAKER_01 38:52

I am, and I'm continuing to heal daily and in other areas of my life too. I'm more aware of it, and I have just really been trying to work on the healing process.

SPEAKER_02 39:06

Oh, is your identity different? Do you feel centered? Uh I I know you're very calm. Yes, calmer.

SPEAKER_01 39:17

My identity is different, and I have had to I no longer subscribe to I am in control of everything and I have to take care of everything.

SPEAKER_02 39:30

No, because God is limitless, He is unlimited, yes, and and God is infinite, we're finite, and so there are unlimited ways that the spirit can get to you new ideas, new relationships, new mindsets, new money. I told her, I said, stop looking at, don't call your uh uh um accountant no more. Stop looking at the spreadsheet and get your mind and your thinking on the unlimited supply of the spirit. And so when you open up yourself to those unlimited possibilities, it doesn't mean that you don't have a plan, that you're not analytical, but you surrender in. There's a verse in the Bible that says, My times are in his hands, and that your steps are ordered of God. So when Daniel surrendered and and and and healed, you know, the restoration had just been very powerful. Well, let me ask you this. How did coaching help you do in the process? Let me just say something to everybody watching or listening. Nobody goes through life crisis by themselves. Everybody needs support. Somebody asked me the other day, well, how did you make it? How did you make the decision to leave a platform with a worldwide audience and do your own independent podcasting? I'm like, my coaches walk me through that. So anybody who's listening, any life crisis, divorce, relationship, money, children grown and gone, and you don't even know what to do with yourself, loss of a job, loss of connection, you need support. I always say you need to touch the God in somebody, not just God, the God in somebody. So, how did coaching work for you during this process?

SPEAKER_01 41:39

Uh, it kept my sanity, it really did. And um, I was trying not to cry.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

You can cry. Yeah, I'm not crying. I just got these eyes drops in my eyes from my own.

SPEAKER_01 41:57

But what I realized was I am I've always been really close with my mother. She's sick now, she has Alzheimer's, and I I couldn't, I can't talk to her. She, you know, she doesn't know me at all. And in a moment like this, when I lost my job, I longed to get her wisdom. But we serve a faithful God that He would put you in my life, that no matter the time, a day, I didn't have to wait for a session. If I needed to text you, I could. And you listened to me, you heard me, you guided me, you loved on me, you provided to me the wisdom that I needed to get up one morning after the next. And in that time, as I was going through that process, it seemed like it was never gonna end. And it seemed like I was always gonna be in that rut of feeling just worthless, or you know, who am I now? Why did this happen to me? I think I met me, I should have just fought for my job, but then I would just talk to you, I would listen to you, you would send me our videos, I would read, I would just pray and talk to God, and then it was almost like in the even in the midst of me traveling and going places, um, I still was hurt. Yeah, but as I began to heal, um every day it was like the sun got a little bit brighter and it got lighter and it got brighter, and then I Felt hope and then I felt good about myself. And I was like, okay, it's okay. If um if this is what you want me to do, God, I'm okay with it. I said, because you're taking real good care of me, you know, and and in it in addition to this, this is what's so amazing, too. I have to share this. We were in South Carolina renting a house while we still had a home in Maryland where no one had rented it. So we were paying a mortgage and rent with the woman. I forgot about that. Yes, and so it was like God kept saying, I am taking care of you. You did not lose your house. You were paying your rent, all your bills are paying, you're paying your car note. And I just had to settle in that and say, I have to trust God. I have to trust God, and I do trust God, and I trust Him even when it hurts, even when I'm afraid, even when I don't know what tomorrow brings. But why should I worry if the God of the universe who knows what tomorrow brings calls me his baby?

SPEAKER_02 45:12

Yeah. And what a coach does is we hold the place for you. I always knew you would be here. My coaches held the space for me. Hell, it's okay if you cry, held the the vibration for me. They went to the finish line and then they came back and said, Okay, Constance, this is the way you come. Come on, I'm like, I can't do it. Come on. Yes, you can. And and so the Bible says, Thank you. Thank the Bible says there is safety in a multitude of counselors. I know you had me and you had your pastor. Yeah, so I'm saying the folk, do not go through life, a life crisis by yourself. We were not created for it. As a matter of fact, the Bible says a friend was born for adversity.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

Yes, yes, and you you really helped me along the way, provided me the tools um to use. And ironically enough, now when I hear people going through stuff, I say, Hey, I think about your tools. I said, Do you have clean water? Do you have food to eat today? Just today. We're not worried about tomorrow. What do you have today that you can thank God for? And people are like, wow, I never thought about it like that. I was like, I know my coach taught me that. So today I'm grateful. And I would just lay there. What am I grateful for today? You know, and I would just be in that place of gratitude. And I realized too, in you teaching me that tool of gratitude. Gratitude is a powerful thing. Oh my God. Just gratitude. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. I would just start thanking God. Just thank you for this and thank you for that. Thank you that my legs work. Thank you that I can breathe. I can see. You know, and I would just go out every day, every day. And um, it was it was a hard journey. Would I do it again? Absolutely, I would, because I got character. I was uh my spirit man grew, my position in life changed, my outlook on life changed, my relationships have changed, right? And um, I was thinking about it. I started coaching with you in 2020, and the entire landscape of my life is totally different, totally different. I yeah, but here's the thing if had I not had even what I had from you from 22 to 25, 25 when I lost my job would have looked different too because you had still helped me in so many other ways in my life, that if this had happened and I just was meeting you, I still don't know what would have happened. But I was able to dig deep into the tools and the training and just reflecting back on even where I came from. So sometimes when you look back, even though that river that mirror is small because you shouldn't stay there, but sometimes you do have to reflect, like, oh, look how much I've grown from that. So when I was looking at my future, I said, Oh, I I can get through this because I got through all that stuff behind me.

SPEAKER_02 48:43

Absolutely. You were talking about gratitude, and I heard somebody the other day, he this guy said, Every day I wake up and I write down 300 things I'm grateful for. He said, But let me tell you, he said, so so during the day, I'm looking for something to be grateful for because I know at night I'm gonna write down 300 things. And he said, and their 300 things, a lot of them are different than he wrote down the night before. So the bottom line is he's looking for the good, he's looking for something to be happy about, and so uh anybody who's going through loss and you don't know what to do, if you could just begin to be grateful, if you could just begin to say, I got water, I used to ask Danielle, do you got water? Yes, you got food, yes. Uh, y'all got lights and uh and gas, yes. You got a car to drive, yes, then you're good. Can you walk? Yes. So you be grateful for where you are. And uh during that time when she was in South Carolina, kind of like in that bubble, that healing place, that's where the spirit begins to shape her and mold her and realign her thinking. Her relationships, if any of your friends watching or listen to this, would change because she's different. She's on a mission. Her husband can tell you uh that she is different because when you do the inner work, the outputing of your life is gonna match how you truly feel on the inside. I'm so happy for you and so proud of you.

SPEAKER_01 50:26

Thank you. Thank you. Is and here's the thing, I also believe as long as we're alive, it's still more growth, development, change, right? So I'm I'm just excited to see what the next 12 months looks like in my life and what God is gonna do, and I'm open to it.

SPEAKER_02 50:47

Yeah, you know, their dimensions. I think you were the one you said, well, I'm I'm good now. I said, Well, you know, there are 12 different dimensions to life and you know, probably more than that. So the world is open to us. So anybody who's listening, who's discouraged, you know, I want you to have hope today. That's why I'm on here with my teary eyes. I'm like, I want you to have hope, I want you to know there are ways that you know not of the Bible says who can phantom the ways of God, people are waiting for you, opportunities are waiting for you, new ideas are waiting for you, new mindsets are waiting for you. And if you could just day by day know that, you know, I always end my new show with the same energy at this very moment, love and energy that is holding the galaxies together, is on the inside of you, and is working on your behalf. People, God working on your behalf, and you don't even know nothing about it. God is is rearranging things for you, so change your mindset. Uh, I I put something online the other day that I heard somebody say, it says, the love and the grace of God is higher than your fears and doubts. Okay, so if you fear for right now, you say, Constance, I don't have no faith, I don't care about that. The love and the grace of God supersedes and is higher and more powerful than what? Than your doubts and fears. So I wanted Danielle to come on, she's a living testimony of a woman who was devastated. I got that out, felt betrayed. Who am I now? I don't have my big old credit score, I don't have this or that, my 401k, my my uh my accountant. I know he got tired of you calling him my accountant, looking at the spread sheet. When she took her eyes off of 3D, off of the natural, and began to put it on the unlimited supply, even though she was scared. The uncertainty, I said to her, uncertainty needs to become your best friend. When she took her eyes off of that, then the change from the inside out began to happen. I'm not all surprised about the landscape of your new life.

SPEAKER_01 53:37

Amen. And so I have to share this. Okay, go ahead. I will wake up some morning, you know, because I'm analytical. Oh my god, we have to pay this and have to pay that. No kidding, it would be money in my account. These deposits were made, or I would go to the mail and there would be checks and their refunds. I I knew nothing about. I said, Wow, God is amazing. Like He blew and continues to blow my mind, and so but I don't think I could have seen that had I not let go and just trusted and healed.

SPEAKER_02 54:17

Yeah, and you know, you guys know my story. Major contracts for 15 years, and then all of a sudden, the federal government, I'm looking at my contracts. I always get them, didn't even have to bid for them. Why? Because I'm just doing everything in the spirit of excellence. I'm just living the life lying here doing this. You want a car? You get a car, you get a car. Everybody gets a car. And then when they came back and said, Constance, uh, the federal funds have been uh frozen, I'm like, what? Did I hear this? Did I hear this right? And it was shocking to me. And the reason I can help other folk is because my business had become my source of supply. When in fact, God wanted it to be a channel that is one way constance, but I'm the one that's supplying that. There are other channels, the opportunities, relationships, money, and health can come to you, but your focus, girlfriend, have been on those contracts. So for anybody listening, especially during times like these, you already know the only stability that's really real is your connection with God or spirit. Amen. Not your job, not your credit score. My mentor in Africa said, he said, he said, in America, he said, y'all's credit score is your God. She said, he said, in some places in Africa, when it comes to bidding the house, it ain't no mortgage. You gotta have the cold, hard cash. Wow. So, ladies and gentlemen, could it be that if the kids are gone, this is an opportunity for God to show you a new you? Could it be if you just went through a difficult divorce or relationship, been there, done that, painful? Could it be your new identity will be revealed and you will receive a relationship beyond what you could have comprehended? Could it be you already know that the job you own, the career you're in, you have more talents, more ability, more uh more insight. Could it be this is an opportunity if you would lean in? I'm not talking about church, I'm not talking about religion, but lean in to that unlimited, all-knowing supply that loves, adores, wants to supply and meet all of your needs, that you could begin living a life beyond your wildest dreams. So you happy now, Miss Danielle? Are you happy?

SPEAKER_01 57:11

I really am. I um my joy is full. I can tell. I also know that you know, not to put my faith and trust in a job, that anything is possible, anything can happen, and it's okay, and I'm gonna be okay regardless. So I'm just I've moved back to Maryland. Um, we moved into the neighborhood I had been wanting to live in for years, and uh I have a tenant in my in my house now, which is crazy. Like all that time when I didn't have a job, you know, we were paying rent and a mortgage. Now I get this new job, and it's like, oh, I have a tenant now. So it's like everything is falling into place, and um I'm just happy. I really am.

SPEAKER_02 58:07

I'm happy for you. You your your is your middle is your first name hope?

SPEAKER_01 58:12

My middle name. I'm middle name.

SPEAKER_02 58:15

And and if you're watching this, guys, you can see in the background, but hope came on today to bring you hope.

SPEAKER_01 58:22

Amen.

SPEAKER_02 58:23

There are unlimited possibilities awaiting for you.

SPEAKER_01 58:28

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 58:29

If you're interested in coaching with me, email me constance at fulfilling your purpose.com. Let's talk about it. But as I say every week, the same God, the same love and energy at this very moment that you're listening or watching this, that's holding the galaxies together.
