Episode 84: Validation Comes From Within with Venus Morris Griffin
It doesn't matter how hard life hits us; we always have two choices. We either let ourselves be consumed by a victim mentality, or we can fight back and decide we will not give up.
In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome the inspiring Venus Morris Griffin. Venus is a mother of seven, an award-winning real estate agent, an author, and a national motivational speaker. Since 2008, when Venus got her real estate agent license, she has ranked #1 three times in the last five years, closing over 1500 operations and generating over $ 460 million in sales.
Throughout this episode, Venus talks about her husband's harrowing double life, which got him sentenced to over 40 years in prison and transformed her into a single mom after 20 years of marriage. Venus shares her thoughts on self-worthiness, abuse, forgiveness, and the power of love. She also talks about her soon-to-be-published book, "Validated," her inspirational memoir that got Warner Bros. Studio interested in making a movie about it.
