As I ground more and more in God, I realize “healing” and “being whole” are two different energetics. The main difference is this:

—Healing is ongoing.
—Wholeness is complete unto itself.

Or said another way:

Healing is engaging with your wounds. Wholeness disappears them.

When I look back on the miracle that my life is, there are things I spent appropriate and needed time on healing; violence acted out on my body in the name of love.

Have you ever had person say they love you while the treat you like shit?
Or beat you?
Or turn your body into a wasteland for their illusion of power?

From my birth mother’s maliciousness, to street violence in the name of loyalty, to lovers who hurt me in the name of love, I have been in recovery my entire life.

Healing became a life style.

As I have moved into being whole, I see now that healing REQUIRES living in the past. It requires a reliving of sorts of the wound in order to heal it. I can see now, from the perspective of being whole, that healing is distinct from healed.

Healed is a state change.

When a flesh wound is healed, it no longer bleeds. As long as it is “healing” it REQUIRES tending to, attention, care, and nurturance.

And rightfully so.

Healing makes the wound the focus.
Being whole disappears the wound completely.

Being whole is relating to our wounds as the blessing not a curse.

Momma putting me out on the streets wounded me. It did. From the perspective of healing, I’m always in a space of potentially being “put out” by others who say they love me because that wound is still “healing.”

When I ground in God, I can see that Momma putting me out is not the real point of power. The real point of power is God blessing me with the courage to NOT go back!

By grounding in God, all the suffering and pain I felt towards Momma, is gone. Just like Judas HAD to betray Jesus in order to fulfill his destiny, each and every wound that I have been healing was required for me to fulfill mine.

I invite you to take one hurtful incident from your life that still hurts you in some way. Take a moment to:

◦ Write down the incident were you were wounded.
◦ Feel your feelings.
◦ Shift your focus from the wound to what God provided in that moment that had you be alive today.
◦ Write down what blessings came from God’s grace in the fire of your life.
◦ Feel the freedom.
◦ Give thanks.

I am realizing being whole is a conscious choice to focus on God’s bigness instead of worshiping my wounds.

It’s a gift I have given myself.

I invite you to give it a try.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Venus

You may be closer than you think!

I NEVER saw this coming…

I feel like God is bringing me back to life.

After my divorce…
After my emergency hysterectomy…
After imploding my business…

I became tired.

After Covid hit…
After quarantine…
After George Floyd…

I became emotionally exhausted and spiritually fatigued.

NOTHING seemed to matter anymore.
NOTHING I did felt big enough to make the world right again.
NOTHING I could do or say would make any difference in a world gone mad.

So like all of us, I survived the moment.

I folded in.
I protested.
I educated.

I fought for social change and turned all of my platforms over to it in service of justice.

It’s been a few years now and I feel Spirit saying it’s time to reemerge.

So this past week I spoke at Aprille Franks’ #EPICWOMAN Conference in Mexico.

Talk about sisterhood????
Talk about real & raw?
Talk about business tactics you can implement NOW????

Check it out here: www.EpicWoman.co

It was transformational.

I am God’s hands and feet.
I came to service.

But something happened I NEVER saw coming…

I didn’t anticipate how significant it would be for ME to pour into Sister entrepreneurs. I realize something I had forgotten in the midst of surviving life.

I missed Black Women entrepreneurs.

I missed the community.
I missed the support.
I missed being seen.

But what I missed most was empowering them to monetize that which they thought was the worse part of their lives.

I believe in beauty for ashes.
I believe the pain has purpose.
I believe those of us who have been heart broken by life, WE are the chosen ones.

We are the ones who move the human race forward.

I feel God gearing me up and setting me up to tilt this world on its axis.

And I have all my sisters with me.

More to come…

In the thick of the pandemic, I got a video call from my dear sister-friend, Aprille Franks, about her new movement, EPICWOMAN. She’s a bad-ass business coach who was all about the hustle, until she shared her own breakdown and evolution of being more feminine and still creating space for her 7-figure coaching business.

Sis, you do not need another conference, but you do need to be present for EPICWOMAN – the virtual tickets start at $99, and it includes the replay.  Go here to grab your seat now: www.epicwoman.co

She shared how she wanted all women to embody their womanhood and for us all to stop adopting masculine business building strategies. She said those strategies negated our feminine power, our bodies, as well as the time it takes to nurture those around us that we love. Including ourselves.

For many of us, the masculine-centric approaches and strategies were damaging; they left us feeling depleted and isolated—even wounded.

I agree with her. I have lived this!

At the end of our conversation, Aprille asked me to speak at her EPICWOMAN event in Mexico 10/20-10/21, and I said, “HELL YES, as long as I can bring Happy!”

Once I leave Jamaica, I am headed to Playa del Carmen Mexico to speak to her group of women entrepreneurs! We’ll be sharing new ideas and solving challenges that stop you from hitting your money goals—especially in a COVID-shaped world!

I’m speaking on the VIP MOGUL Day which starts on 10/19 at 9am EST – grab you seat here to hear about my new hotness FIRST: www.epicwoman.co
