Stephanie Wilson-Coleman with The Champagne Connection

Intro: [00:00:05] Broadcasting live from the Business RadioX Studios in Saint Louis, Missouri. It’s time for Saint Louis Business Radio. Now, here’s your host.

Phillip Hearn: [00:00:18] Hello, good people, and welcome to Doc’s discussions here on Saint Louis Business RadioX. I am so excited about our guest today. Too many accolades to name. I will probably miss some. I don’t want to offend this fantastic human being, so I’m just going to get right into the introduction of Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman. Dr. Wilson- Coleman. How are you?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:00:40] I am doing absolutely fantastic and no worries, because I am not easily offended. Okay. Okay, good, good.

Phillip Hearn: [00:00:49] Well, then you’re on the right show. Yeah. I’m gonna try not to offend you, but I’m glad to know that I’ve got a little leeway. So this is. Yeah, you got some leeway. I appreciate having you here today. Like I said, I’ve been looking forward to this interview for a while. You were nice enough to. To have me on your show. A sip of inspiration, which we’ll dive into here later in our show. But I’m definitely excited to see you again and connect with you again. It’s a good spirit. It’s a good energy. So I’m looking forward to this.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:01:15] Okay. I am too.

Phillip Hearn: [00:01:16] Awesome. So I’ve had a chance to read through your story and being very lucky to do so and come away with the feeling that you are a survivor. You’re a fighter in your life. Your story is extremely inspirational. Can you tell us and my viewers more about your past, where you come from? How do we get to the the Dr. Wilson Coleman that we have today? I know you’ve you’ve overcome a few things, to say the least.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:01:42] Oh, yeah, to say the least. As a matter of fact, I used to say that any day I did not consider suicide was a good day. So that’s how I managed to decide whether it was a good day or not. I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas. Everything you’ve heard about it is probably true. And then started planning My Escape from Little Rock when I was like 14. I was a teen mom, pregnant at 14, had my child at 15, and it wasn’t pleasant in a small town like Little Rock, Arkansas. So you lost all your friends. You lost supposedly. You supposed to lose all hope. But hope has been the one thing that I have leaned on. So luckily, I didn’t lose hope. So I graduated at the top of my class, graduated from college early, and not because I was trying to prove anything, but because I was constantly told that I was going to have to take care of myself. No one’s going to take care of someone that has a baby already. So I knew I had to get busy. So I graduated college, then eventually got married and moved to Florida, and that seemed like a happy ending. But it was at the end of the marriage where I ended up homeless. Okay, I suffered a basal skull fracture. And that’s where you rattle the brain stem. And 96% of the people at that time did not recover from basal skull fractures. So I tell people when you want to, the one good thing that happened to me was that near-death experience, because they told me I was going to die.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:03:18] And what I have learned is when people tell you you’re going to die, you get real clear about what you want to do. So all of those people that you’re afraid to let go of that are dragging you down, Trust me, somebody tells you you’re going to die. You are not afraid of that anymore. Everybody has to go. And you learn that. You don’t even have to explain why they have to go. You just stop calling them or answering their calls. I usually joke that God created call waiting for that purpose. So when the negative people called you see who’s calling. You don’t have to answer the call. There’s nothing that says you have to answer the call. So fast forward. Um, I ended up my son graduated from Jackson State University. Um, so that was a success. And I went further in the education, now in the homelessness part and then being told you’re going to die too, you know, you’ve got to get busy that So that’s the quickest way to get rid of people who are dragging you down. You do have to learn what. What your purpose is. Why did you get here? So you learned. I learned the hard way to ask the right questions. You know not why is this happening to me? Because that’s a question that no one can answer. Okay. But the question is, what do I do next? What have I learned? Those are questions that you can answer.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:04:45] So what did I learn? So I learned that you can’t spend all of your money. Okay? Because with the divorce, you know, we were we were two incomes and he was making great money. And then when he left, he took all the money out of the bank and stole the money from the sale of the house. So I didn’t have any place to stay. I mean, all of that. So I learned you can’t spend all of your money. And that’s that was a harsh way to learn it. But I also learned that for me to move forward, I needed what I call the cosmic two by four. Okay? So so don’t seem to get moving when it’s a friendly reminder, right? Yeah, Right. So I wasn’t that person. So, so. So I had to get near death before said oh okay. That’s what you were trying to tell me. Universal. Yeah, but I’m listening now. So I started to journal and my first book was, Is anybody listening? Okay. And I journaled about the, the experiences I had, the different experiences and the spiritual awakenings because there will be a spiritual awakening. People don’t always call it that, but you know, not to offend anyone. There will be a spiritual awakening because you will you will find out that you’re not doing it by yourself, that there’s something greater than you in this universe that will help you through those things. If you trust it, there’s something that will let you know what the next step is if you listen. So you’ve got to learn how to listen, and you’ve got to learn how to trust.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:06:26] So that’s what I found out in the book. It wasn’t that people weren’t listening to me. That’s what I thought. People were not listening to me. I wasn’t listening to the universal presence. I wasn’t listening and looking at the signs that were all around me that this thing that I was living called a life was going to, like burn up. Okay? I was going to crash and burn. I wasn’t listening to it. So when I started to listen to it, I promised God. I said, okay. You get me out of this, I will never be back here again. Okay? I promise you that I will never be back again. So I started by literally, what can I do now with what I have? And that is probably the most important thing anyone listening can do. What can you do right now with what you have? And if you don’t have anything, there’s a whole lot you can do. You can get out a piece of paper. You can start writing down what you’re grateful for, because if you are on this side of the ground, you can make some changes. So even be grateful for that. Okay? You need to do some forgiveness too. So I had to let go some of that residue that I was carrying around about people who did me wrong. So I generally talk about our they did me wrong stories. Everybody got it. They did me wrong story. Okay, everybody all right?

Speaker4: [00:08:00] Of course. Yeah.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:08:01] You got to let them go. Okay. Okay. Figure out what you learned. Figure out what you could have possibly done different if it happens now. And don’t beat yourself up for for where you are now, because that’s like driving your car in a rearview mirror. You can’t change that back there. That happened. Just write down what you learned. Write down what you now know never to do again. Okay? Okay. And those then become like your values and your morals and don’t ever break them. Okay, So for instance, I had to figure out money, so I figured out money. So there’s some type. I don’t care what’s happening. I tied. And the thing about tithing is people get caught up on the 10%. They don’t have it. So if you’ve got 1% tithe 1%, right. Okay. It’s the actual action. That changes the thought process. It’s not the amount of money. It’s not the percentage. It’s the action that you need to take to get where you need to go and forgive yourself because we can forgive other people easily. Yeah, but forgive yourself and take full responsibility. So I did. So I took a job. I actually took a job in another state. And then they told me they couldn’t pay me after a week. So I was homeless again. So I said, okay, God, now there is some place you want me to be and I’m just not there. Where is that place? Right. Right. And in an hour or so later, after that prayer, my aunt from Chicago called and said, You know, if you can get her, you can stay with me. Now, fast, you know, let’s go backwards a little bit, because I visited her some years before all that happened to me and I was on the beach and the little voice said, you need to move to Chicago. I lived in Florida and I said, It’s too cold in Chicago. I’m not going.

Phillip Hearn: [00:10:08] But it is too cold. I mean, let’s just be honest with the listeners. It is a little too cold. But no, keep going. Right.

Speaker4: [00:10:14] Still cold. It’s still cold.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:10:16] I’m used to 80, 90, 120 degree. Take 120. But I can take 27. Okay. Yes. And the message said no, you’re going to Chicago.

Speaker4: [00:10:26] I’m not going to Chicago.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:10:28] So fast forward, everything fell apart for me in Florida, and this universal presence got me where I needed to be, which was in Chicago. Okay. I took a job where they asked me what I needed to make. Okay. And okay. And it was it was a gaming company. So they asked me if I could work at home or if I wanted to work in the office. And things just started going. My career reached its height. Employer paid for my master’s degree, my MBA from the University of Chicago. Didn’t have to pay for it. So this is where I was supposed to be to do the work that I needed to do. And I got here and it was nearly magical. Now, not say didn’t have to work, you know, I applied for everything. I still had to study. I still had to do the work. But the finances, I paid off $65,000 in debt and no time. I started to tithe ten, 15%. I was able to put money in savings, all of that because the universe got me where they wanted me to be, to do the work that the universe wanted me to do for it. We forget sometimes that we didn’t come here just to live out our fans, our fantasies and do what we want to do. We were created by a higher being and we will do what that higher being needs us to do. And you will go kicking or screaming. But I recommend that you go peacefully.

Speaker4: [00:12:05] Because I’ve done it kicking and screaming part.

Phillip Hearn: [00:12:07] Yeah, yeah. The kicking and screaming that that’s the truest statement of it all. And you definitely dropped some knowledge for us with that too. So I want to tap a little bit into that timeframe of Chicago. Right? So part of your background, an executive MBA, a PhD in holistic life counseling. Take us through what those processes, you know, and and those achievements, right? So a life of achievement. But those particular achievements, especially in that timeline, what did that do for you? I mean, that that’s part of your overcoming roadblocks and conflicts of the past. That sounds like a crossroad point. Tell us a little bit more about that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:12:48] So it was a crossroad point and it was something that I’d always wanted to do younger. I always wanted to go to an Ivy League school. I don’t know why I had the GPA. I had the intelligence, as they said. But, you know, back then I was pregnant, had a baby, and that.

Speaker4: [00:13:06] Just wasn’t happening. Right, Right.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:13:08] So when I got here, I had a great job at a gaming company. They were eventually bought out by Microsoft and moved to Seattle. Well, you know, I just got to Chicago. It’s cold. I’m still missing 100 degree weather.

Speaker4: [00:13:23] I am not going to Seattle. Right. And when I even got.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:13:27] That job, this is a cute thing, is when took that when I was looking for work says God, you know.

Speaker4: [00:13:32] Everything is far around here. I can’t drive 20 minutes. I am not getting on a train to go to work and this job.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:13:39] So I turned down jobs because they didn’t meet my requirements. This job was 20 minutes from work.

Speaker4: [00:13:48] Free parking. I can pick my hours, okay? And they pay me what I wanted to pay so was really clear. So then the universe. Yeah. So then when they went says, God, you know, I’m not going to rainy, dark weather, I’m, I’m still missing that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:14:05] So I took a they gave me a buyout.

Speaker4: [00:14:09] And my 401. My 401.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:14:12] Was fantastic that I.

Speaker4: [00:14:15] Didn’t even have to contribute.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:14:16] To Microsoft. Was that good of an employer. So he took all that with me and then had a friend that worked for a temp agency and says, Go over here and apply for me. Right? I went over there. I didn’t like it, didn’t like the people. They didn’t.

Speaker4: [00:14:29] Like me. I went home. Right. But then they called back and said.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:14:35] We want you to to we want to interview you. We want you to interview for this position. So would you apply for it? So I said, okay. And and then they offered it to me. So I gave them this a ridiculous salary and they said okay. I said.

Speaker4: [00:14:51] Oh, oh.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:14:53] Okay. But it was temporary, no problem. And then a permanent position came up and they the HR called and said, You didn’t apply for this. I hadn’t planned on applying, but I applied. Right? Yeah. So I applied. I got the salary I wanted and then I got bored after a couple of years and my boss said, Why don’t you go to look at one of the graduate schools? You know, you’re really good at that.

Speaker4: [00:15:18] You could you would really do well with an MBA. Look at one of the top graduate schools.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:15:23] So in Chicago, that would be University of Chicago and Northwestern applied.

Speaker4: [00:15:28] Got involved too, but.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:15:30] University of Chicago was closer to the office and closer to where I live. So says, I’m gonna take that. Okay, I’ll take that back.

Speaker4: [00:15:37] I have not.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:15:37] Never I have never worked so hard in my life.

Speaker4: [00:15:40] And I came out of that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:15:42] I came out of the University of Chicago experience saying I used to think I was really smart because they always said I had a great IQ. But when your first week of classes are with all of the Nobel Prize winners, you realize.

Speaker4: [00:15:55] Just how smart you’re not.

Phillip Hearn: [00:15:57] Okay, so you’re saying you just got to bump up your standard just a little bit? Oh, yeah, just.

Speaker4: [00:16:01] Just a little bit. Okay. So I ended up working.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:16:04] Still full time. And then my process was they give you all of your books before the class. So I would read everything before that semester even started temp the homework. And then we had we worked in groups. It was it was tough. But the great thing is we did intern, we did a ten day intern in Singapore and to, to study financial instruments and to actually study the the, the system where how we move goods and services throughout the world because they have one of the best trucking industries and over there to move goods. So we studied that and financial instruments and then went to Barcelona. So that was a matter of understanding that the gift was given. The work was hard. I still had to work. I still had to do that. I learned more quicker than I ever thought. And my staff, though, because I use them as my guinea pig. So as I would learn new concepts, I take that back to work.

Speaker4: [00:17:03] This is what we’re going to do, this is how we’re going to run this.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:17:07] So my staff would say.

Speaker4: [00:17:08] We’re going to tell you, you can’t go to any more classes and you can’t go to any more conferences because you work us to death. But as a result of it.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:17:18] I was able to share that knowledge with people who worked for me, and it even inspired some of them to go back and get more education and start start living their dreams too. So because I obviously have proven that.

Speaker4: [00:17:33] If you can make it when the people tell you you’re going to die, okay, I think everybody needs a near-death experience because all them people y’all say y’all going to stop talking to and y’all going to leave alone. Y’all have a hard time, but let somebody tell you you’re going to die, okay? Right. Right. It’s the easiest thing to do. So it helped them with knowing.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:17:53] That they could do more, too, that it’s never too late to do more. So the staffs.

Speaker4: [00:17:58] I’ve always had.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:17:58] Have I’ve always encouraged them to do their best at work and make sure they’re sharing all of their ideas and to make sure that if we have to rearrange some schedules or something so that they too can get some additional education so that they can start to live their dreams to see what they actually can do. We don’t trust ourselves enough to step out there, but hopefully and some of them say to this day, I gave them I gave them the the the strength. And I was so confident in that they could do it. And then they’d come back to work and we’d talk about what they talked about, what they learned, and we talk about how we could use that in our actual environment at work. And as a result, all out of I always had the highest scores of team excellence of happy people because they allowed them, I, I allowed them to grow. I insisted that they grow, that they didn’t stay where they were because I don’t think that that’s what the universal presence wants from us. It wants us to change. It wants us to make mistakes. It wants us to learn more about ourselves. Yeah. So then I realized not using money, right, was my problem. So I started coaching people about how to find out what their real beliefs are. See, when you look into your money.

Speaker4: [00:19:26] You know what you believe. Okay?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:19:29] You just.

Speaker4: [00:19:30] Know how.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:19:31] Do you spend your money? So we break it out in categories. So did you spend money on your your own development, your own self development? And usually people don’t. You’ll be surprised how smart that how small that budget is. But they spent money getting people out of debt, lending money they’re never going to get.

Speaker4: [00:19:48] Back eating out.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:19:49] We do so much eating out and then we wonder where our health is bad. So once we can get those categories together and have you look over at 420 days, you can see for yourself. What you believe and.

Speaker4: [00:20:04] What you think.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:20:04] And then I work with you to.

Speaker4: [00:20:06] Actually change.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:20:07] That, but did get to a point in life where I needed to know more about not just the mechanics of how people handled money, but how they thought about it, which is why I went back to do the holistic life coaching degree so that way I could tap into what you’re thinking about, what you’re thinking about spiritually or and some people don’t think they have a spiritual belief, but any beliefs you have generally will go back, would go back to what you believe spiritually. So I could identify any lack of consciousness so we could work on things that would help them start to understand that they too could create an abundance starting right where they are.

Phillip Hearn: [00:20:49] I love it. I love it. There’s not a lot of people that I’ve been lucky enough to come across where even as you’re reading their bio, the words literally jump off the page, right? So as I was reading through your stuff and preparing for today. I got excited, even more excited. So of course I know you then get a chance to read your bio. And then I’m like, okay, I got ten other questions. I’m going to ask an assumptive question. Okay. How have you been able to make peace with your past? So this will be one of the last things I asked, looking back as we now will dig into moving forward. But I think it’s an important question because you tapped into a couple of things early in the conversation of being able to get away from kind of the excess and the mess of life. Right? That’s probably the easiest way to put it. But you just strike me as someone who’s been able to understand the lessons of the past. Right? You talked about that, but also to a point, make some peace with it. So I’m assuming that. But how have you been able to make peace with your past?

Speaker4: [00:21:51] Well, the first thing is.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:21:53] If you take a.

Speaker4: [00:21:55] Real good look at.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:21:57] What you’ve been able to experience where you are now, how you got there.

Speaker4: [00:22:02] Then you look at the path that it took.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:22:05] Understanding that everybody’s path is different and you can’t believe everything you hear and say on social media now. Okay. Because they are skipping over a whole lot of stuff to get to where they are. And everyone defines success and how they how they have actually accomplished things differently. So. Right. One of the things that held me up for a long time is I was a victim of sexual molestation and I was raped 23 times. And I know because I counted them. So what I did was it looks like you’re frozen. Okay. We’re still recording. So so as I was saying. I was a victim of sexual molestation.

Phillip Hearn: [00:23:04] So. Dr. Wilson Coleman and again, I’m going to ask an assumptive question here. As I’ve read through your bio, like I said, your energy, your the works that you’ve done, the achievements that you’ve had in your life, just bounce off the page. There’s not a lot of people that I’ve been lucky enough to kind of follow and dig into that. I feel that way about where I read it and I get excited by reading your stuff right. So I’m going to ask the assumptive question and tell me if it is or and also tell me your thoughts. But how have you been able to make peace with your past? There’s so many layers to who you are as a person. There’s for every it seems like if you said universal push, right, you kind of put it out into the ether. There’s been some equal and opposite reactions that have almost led you to those pushes, but you just seem to have and carry yourself with a really good energy and a peace. How have you been able to make peace with your past?

Speaker4: [00:24:00] Well, one of the most.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:24:01] Important things I had to do and this was some important work for me, is growing up, I was sexually molested and raped 23 times. I know, because I counted them. Okay. I had to. Okay. So how I made I had to make peace with that.

Speaker4: [00:24:19] So. I understand.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:24:22] I understood that we’re all here for a reason and we’re all here to do things. And some of some people have a really good ride and some people don’t. And that’s just the luck of the draw. It’s not personal. That’s just, hey, somehow.

Speaker4: [00:24:37] Maybe in multiple lifetimes before needed to atone for something. Who knows? Right.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:24:43] So I wrote all of those instances down and then did what I call a burning bowl. So I took a pot. Okay.

Speaker4: [00:24:53] I actually use a cauldron now, so.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:24:55] And I wrote them down. I wrote how I felt, and I put them in there and I burned them up. Okay. Okay. And then I took the. And I love the water. I love water and mountains. So the one good thing about moving to Chicago is at least I got to keep the water.

Speaker4: [00:25:12] Right, So. So I took them to.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:25:16] Lake Michigan and I released it. Okay. Okay. I just released it. I released it to whatever it it was I was supposed to learn. I’ve now learned. So this experience would not be repeated. So the one thing that I did learn from that is. When you are a caretaker in any situation, children when you’re supervisor or you’re working with other people, you have to make sure that you are giving them what they need.

Speaker4: [00:25:51] So that they can.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:25:51] Be their best self and not to take away anything to make them feel worse about anything. So I got I got that message really loud and clear. So as a result of that, I’m all I always work with people, make sure they’re trying to be their best self, help them release the things they need to release, step into their goodness and their greatness. And you can only focus on one.

Speaker4: [00:26:17] Thing at a time.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:26:18] To So gratitude list a very important. So if any of that other stuff starts to come up, I.

Speaker4: [00:26:26] Go to gratitude. I forgive myself.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:26:29] For reaching back into the past and trying to live there.

Speaker4: [00:26:33] But you can’t live in.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:26:34] The past, right? And and become really grateful for the fact that I know I can even do that. And the fact that that’s not happening now, there are great things happening in my life. I try to stay focused on those things, and if I have a bad.

Speaker4: [00:26:52] Day, I have a bad day. Go take a nap. Okay. That’s what I do. I go take a nap. I mean, I literally I have gone to bed. And taking a nap at 11:00 in the morning because says, you know what? You didn’t bring the best Stephanie here today, so you need a nap, child. So go take a nap. Okay.

Phillip Hearn: [00:27:13] And I’m only chuckling because I just had this conversation with some friends go There are a couple days where you just don’t bring your fastball and you go, we got to reset. We need a 20 minute nap. We need we need to just recalibrate some things. Yeah. So I’m chuckling because of that. That’s too close to home.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:27:29] You just got to recalibrate, that’s all.

Speaker4: [00:27:31] Don’t get mad about. Don’t get mad about it. It doesn’t do any good to keep talking about your They did me wrong story because guess what? You know, they’re not going to undo it. So why are you still talking about it?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:27:44] Absolutely.

Speaker4: [00:27:44] So take take a nap. Okay. If you have to kick something, kick something plastic so you don’t have to break thing. Okay? You got to punch something, punch the pillow. But do what you need to do.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:27:58] Exercise helps to get out. Get out around nature.

Speaker4: [00:28:02] And you don’t see the tree crying. And because it lost its leaves, you know, it just gets busy making new leaves. Oh, you have got to figure out what you can do.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:28:15] To reset because you can’t take that energy into next project because the next project will reflect that energy.

Phillip Hearn: [00:28:22] I love it.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:28:23] I love it. And forgive yourself.

Speaker4: [00:28:24] And if people and some people are waiting for other folk to come and say, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that, that is just not happening. So I say, go to the mirror and do what I call mirror work. So everybody, when you go to pass a mirror, you look at that mirror and you say the best things possible. You can think about yourself in that mirror.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:28:44] Okay, do some mirror work. Remind yourself how wonderful you are because you’ve survived that stuff. Don’t put yourself down and say, Oh, if this hadn’t happened, because if that hadn’t.

Speaker4: [00:28:57] Happened, you wouldn’t.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:28:57] Be the you you are today.

Phillip Hearn: [00:29:00] Absolutely love that. The two big pieces, that first piece about grace, right. When we’re talking about ourselves personally, professionally, especially, we don’t seem to give ourselves grace. Right. Right. It’s the old motto, and I’ve talked to you about it. When I was on your show, my grandmother used to say, You do the best you can with what you have at that point in time. Nobody’s telling you to be perfect. Nobody’s telling you to have all the answers. But giving yourself some grace I think is extremely big. And also the mindset piece. So I just heard an old Simon Sinek talk, right?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:29:33] I love Simon Sinek, right.

Phillip Hearn: [00:29:35] And he goes, It’s very difficult for people to actually think the negative. He goes, Watch this. He goes, I’m going to say something to you. Let’s see if it works. He goes, Don’t think about an elephant. He goes, Congratulations. You just thought about an elephant. I’m telling you, don’t do it. But you’re thinking about it, right? So it’s all that mindset of if you’re if you’re putting positive ideas and thoughts out there, you’re usually going to get them back. And again, you’re living proof. So my, my, my listeners and viewers don’t have to hear me. They can just listen to Dr. Wilson Coleman because you cut all the you know, you’re the white paper in this whole thing, right? Like we can see the actual result here. So that’s but I love it. I absolutely love that. So I want to dive into something a little more fun. Currently what you’re doing. So tell me more about how the Champagne connection and your show a sip of inspiration. So you got a bunch of things going on. But these two things again, I was again lucky enough to be a guest on your show, dug into the Champagne connection. Tell our listeners, how did these two ideas and projects come about and how have you gotten to gotten both to where they are today?

Speaker4: [00:30:48] So I believe that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:30:50] Life is too short for you not to have or experience anything you want to experience. We get an average of what, about 77, maybe 80 years in good.

Speaker4: [00:31:02] Health, and.

Phillip Hearn: [00:31:03] That’s usually women. The guys only get to about 70 because we dump stuff. So between now and then.

Speaker4: [00:31:08] Right. So life is.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:31:09] Just too short not to have what it is you have. So hence the champagne connection, champagne standing for experiencing and having all of the good things that you actually want in your life come true. But the problem is, is we spend a lot of time thinking about what we don’t want or what or did they did me wrong story. So we don’t spend any time thinking about what is it we want to experience Now, Steve Harvey has a thing going through, I think TikTok now about sit down and write 300 things that you want. And the genius in that is once you start writing, you realize you don’t want 300.

Speaker4: [00:31:47] Things, right?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:31:48] You realize that there’s just really about 10 or 15.

Speaker4: [00:31:53] Things that you really want in your.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:31:54] Life.

Speaker4: [00:31:55] And we we do that a lot.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:31:57] To help you find your purpose. As everyone says. So there’s, there’s a bunch of tests you can take for that. So once we identify that, then we literally set up a steps and plans for you to take to start.

Speaker4: [00:32:10] To live.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:32:11] Your life, to start to have that champagne life as the song says. So it’s and it there are easy steps. People are awfully, awfully surprised if you can stop.

Speaker4: [00:32:22] Feeling bad about.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:32:23] What happened and forgive yourself if you can.

Speaker4: [00:32:26] Stop just hating all the folk and forgive them. You just freed up a whole bunch of time, right? Right. Well, you can work on your stuff.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:32:35] So people don’t work on their stuff. So help them work on their stuff, create fun ways and games for them to get there. As a matter of fact, I created a your top values game that people love to this day because it’s more than people say, Well, what are your top values?

Speaker4: [00:32:50] No, we got a game for that. Okay? Then you end up with with these values and you say, Oh my God, that’s right. That’s me. That’s what I do. So now how do we use.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:32:59] Them and then help people go through their go through the day where doing your day, you do 1 or 2 things just for you toward your dreams. Okay? And you will be surprised if you can start little how big that is. So and then a sip of inspiration started because people used to say, you got to share this stuff because you do a whole bunch of stuff, right?

Speaker4: [00:33:23] You just got to do a whole bunch of stuff into the platform. So I started as a cable access.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:33:28] Television show locally and would do things, and that was fun. I love TV, so that was fun. And we would have guests on because I’m not the only person in the world that’s overcome stuff. There are a lot of people like me, okay, and think that you need to be introduced to those people. It’s not just me. We all use different techniques and I like to talk about the different techniques so people can see that it’s not one, 1 or 10 things that you do. It’s millions of things that people. Do that will get you to the same place. It’s just.

Speaker4: [00:34:01] What can you do now? Not what Stephanie.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:34:05] Can do.

Speaker4: [00:34:05] Now. What can you do now?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:34:07] And maybe what you can do now is. As I always say, is look at how you spend in your money and determine.

Speaker4: [00:34:16] Those feelings that went with that dress you bought that you don’t have any place to wear it to. Okay. That’s what we really need to talk about. Okay. So maybe that’s where we can start. So those are some of the things that I do. So.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:34:30] Okay, so.

Speaker4: [00:34:32] What’s the experience with the two days, the two time of day Starbucks? What’s the experience? Okay. You’re trying to save money, so but what are you getting out of the experience.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:34:44] Of buying the dress, of spending too much money on coffee or eating.

Speaker4: [00:34:48] Out every day.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:34:48] When you can cook something? What is the experience? What’s the.

Speaker4: [00:34:51] Emotional payoff?

Phillip Hearn: [00:34:54] Let’s see. That part right there, I think is the most powerful piece of it, right? You’re doing something in the moment and you’re not thinking of even the emotional payoff that that is. I love that. Okay. Okay.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:35:07] And so when when they find out what.

Speaker4: [00:35:10] The emotional payoffs are, then we talk about other ways that you can actually get the same emotional good feel. But you’re not breaking the bank.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:35:22] You’re saving money.

Speaker4: [00:35:23] You’re you are putting money toward.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:35:25] Your kid’s college or toward that vacation you want to take or you’re working to be debt free. So then we can find ways for you to do that, to get emotional payoffs. So I’m asking people to pay attention to that in everyday things that they do.

Phillip Hearn: [00:35:41] That’s awesome. That’s fantastic.

Speaker4: [00:35:43] How how do you feel when you do that? Yeah. How do you feel?

Phillip Hearn: [00:35:48] And like you said, if it goes back just to the mindset piece of it, right? Understand the mindset and the why behind it. I always say that if we’re doing it right, we all should sound like five year olds. Why? Why are we doing this? Right. As is happening? Why is this the response I’m giving or getting? Right. Right. So just simplifying the process in terms of the why behind it opens up a lot more of of the of potentially the better mindset of where you’re trying to get to. Right. I love it, actually. Love it. So again, you’ve got champagne connection. You’ve got sip of inspiration. I mean, we are talking to a doctor, so I’m not surprised. Right. Of how this all speeds up. But you’ve also just written your fifth book, correct?

Speaker4: [00:36:30] Yes, my fifth book.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:36:32] Yes. Yes. For parents and their children. So. Right. Self esteem your superpower ways parents can improve children’s self-esteem. And I wrote it. It’s only like 41 pages. It’s really simple. It includes really.

Speaker4: [00:36:47] Easy to use techniques because I believe if.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:36:51] The techniques aren’t easy to use, people are not going to use them. Okay. That’s that’s anything change in your life? You know, something sound really, really daunting when you talk to some professionals, but if we keep it simple, so first you’re going to pay attention to things that your children do and talk about that in the book. One of the things is conversations. We don’t talk to our kids about conversations because we don’t think we have anything to talk about. So we ask the question, How was your day? How was school? So you get that one word answer. It’s like, okay. It was good. Okay.

Speaker4: [00:37:29] That’s what you get.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:37:30] So I am quite the Enquirer now. So, you know.

Speaker4: [00:37:35] I’ve done a little.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:37:36] Research, so I would say things like, okay, do my kids like to pick them up? What’s your favorite thing to.

Speaker4: [00:37:44] Do when you’re riding in the car?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:37:46] You know, so my son would say, what was his favorite thing to do was? I’d say, well, why?

Speaker4: [00:37:51] How did you come up with that?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:37:53] And that’s a whole conversation.

Speaker4: [00:37:54] So now we’re talking.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:37:55] About stuff.

Speaker4: [00:37:57] That started off with what does he like to do in the car to everything else and.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:01] Just keep the.

Speaker4: [00:38:02] Conversation going? Okay.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:04] Right. And sometimes I just ask.

Speaker4: [00:38:06] Stupid questions, right? Like.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:08] Okay, we’re going to the grocery store.

Speaker4: [00:38:10] If you could buy the groceries, what would we buy? What would you buy and what would we be eating tonight for dinner? Okay. And then with my kid, we would actually buy that and then we would actually would actually.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:22] Go home.

Speaker4: [00:38:23] And we would.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:24] Fix that. And that would be.

Speaker4: [00:38:25] What we would eat. Yeah. Okay, so you’re engaging them all the time.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:38:31] So. And I like I can deal more with emotions better with emotions than I can with words because when you ask them how their, you know, their words, people don’t mean the same thing when they say the same word. But emotions are really telling. So I can ask, well, you know, he played sports and remember, he loved he loved baseball. That was number one. And and football was number two. But there was this thing about basketball.

Speaker4: [00:39:04] And everybody was playing basketball. So I said, how does it feel when you play basketball? And he said, All that running up and down the court just with two points makes no sense to me. So we talked about the feeling. How do you feel? He told me what the problem was.

Phillip Hearn: [00:39:25] Yeah, yeah, he sure.

Speaker4: [00:39:27] Did. So it’s like, okay, well, okay, so I’m gonna stop. I’m gonna stop pushing you about basketball now. So. So where are we going to stick to?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:39:36] He says baseball.

Speaker4: [00:39:37] He says it is just.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:39:40] Baseball is just more satisfying.

Speaker4: [00:39:43] You either did your part or you didn’t do your part. And you know, right away.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:39:48] Says, okay, baseball it is it. Wow. So you’ve just got to figure out. And so in the book, the self-esteem thing book, talk about that. I talk about setting aside some playtime with your kids and play with them. Sit in the floor if that’s what they need to do, sit in the floor when they come home from school or whenever they come in the door. You’ve got to be excited. You’ve got to be just don’t say.

Speaker4: [00:40:11] How was your.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:12] Day? I used to say, Oh my God, I’m so glad.

Speaker4: [00:40:15] To see you. Look at.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:17] You.

Speaker4: [00:40:17] And just compliment them about things. And then what.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:21] Happens is they’re excited to see.

Speaker4: [00:40:24] You. They’re excited to be home with you because.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:28] You’re excited about them.

Speaker4: [00:40:29] And then if they have.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:31] Problems in school, just found ways to help them to do that, you know? So we would read together. So like I’d get books that were just outside anything they was reading at school. Some of them are my own. When I had my stepdaughter, I used to.

Speaker4: [00:40:50] Tell her, You can’t tell your teacher we read this book, but she she read a lot. So we would read the books.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:40:55] We would talk about them and they would be mysteries or horror stories or serial.

Speaker4: [00:41:00] Killers. But we talk about it. The books, it would be totally off. And then I would buy.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:41:05] Magazines and leave them in the living room and on the table.

Speaker4: [00:41:10] Of their favorite things. So I.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:41:11] Would take.

Speaker4: [00:41:12] Subscriptions and then, yeah, I would. And then in the mornings at breakfast, they’d all.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:41:18] Have they both have to get a magazine and we would each read something to each other from our magazine.

Speaker4: [00:41:23] It’s like, love it. You just have to be creative. And when you’re doing stuff like that, it would be one it. They just love coming home. So if they had a bad day, they were the first one to tell me what happened.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:41:36] You know, this.

Speaker4: [00:41:37] Is what happened and this is what that did and this is what they did. And I know I wasn’t supposed to do this part, but this is how I felt about it. And then we would replay the situation. So talk to your kids, but play games with them, too.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:41:51] So. And color. Nobody likes to color anymore color.

Speaker4: [00:41:55] Go to the dollar tree. Those things are a buck 25. Yeah. Color with them. And once you do that, they’re learning more. Then they will begin to tell you the real things about.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:42:07] What’s going on. So-and-so hit me.

Speaker4: [00:42:11] Or they said.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:42:12] This or.

Speaker4: [00:42:13] The teacher didn’t do this. And then you can help them with ways to handle that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:42:18] And then of course, you marched right up to the school and talk to the teachers and the principals too. But you don’t take that.

Speaker4: [00:42:24] Combative attitude with you because nobody wants to work with you.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:42:29] Right. If you are combat combative, try to see all sides of the story. And true enough, somebody is probably more wrong than the other. But go with. Go with that sense that everybody in this room is important and at the end of the day, want everyone to have learned what they need to know so that tomorrow they’re we’re all better people.

Phillip Hearn: [00:42:55] I absolutely love this. The funny part, as you’re telling the story of the book, it almost sounds like we could be using this as adults, right? Somebody walks into the room you haven’t seen in a while. Just just a nice welcoming energy smile, you know? And again, it’s just that relation piece because it almost is the version for the parents of how to win friends and influence people. You remember that, right? Dale Carnegie. Right. That kind of vibe of if I give you the safe spaces to feel like you can interact with me openly, you’re going to want to tell me stuff, right? People like to talk about themselves, even kids. So that’s. That’s so good. And the writing is huge.

Speaker4: [00:43:36] Find something. Find something in everyone that you like. And if there’s nothing that you like, you don’t need to talk to those people. You all are not friends. Let them go. Okay.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:43:51] That’s the.

Speaker4: [00:43:51] Message from.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:43:51] God. But there’s something.

Speaker4: [00:43:53] That you like and focus.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:43:55] On that understanding. Everybody is having issues. Everybody is experiencing some because we’re here to grow. So everyone’s having some kind of growth pains. Everybody. Okay. So find something that you can compliment, something that you like about them and say what you mean.

Speaker4: [00:44:13] So if I say.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:44:15] I can give me a call, I’ll help you. You need to help the.

Speaker4: [00:44:19] People when they call.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:44:21] No doubt. Okay. Because that’s another part of this thing too, is if you don’t keep your word to yourself. Then who’s going to keep their word.

Speaker4: [00:44:31] With you.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:44:32] When you need something? You’ve got to. You have got to understand that. Yeah.

Phillip Hearn: [00:44:37] Yeah, absolutely. I love it. I love this. This is so fun. Here’s a question for you. And this actually taps into something you mentioned earlier in our discussion. I want to know professionally and personally, and it could be knowing you, it might be one in the same, but what’s your definition of success?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:44:59] My definition of success is that you.

Speaker4: [00:45:02] Have.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:04] Given yourself permission. To try something. To try to do something hard. And you actually did it. Now, I didn’t say you were good at it when.

Speaker4: [00:45:16] You did it. It was successful when you did it. It’s not what I said, okay? You set out to do something. And you did it. Yeah.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:29] Because what you learned.

Speaker4: [00:45:31] From whatever you did.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:34] Is valuable.

Speaker4: [00:45:35] Even if what.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:36] You decided. Midway through it is. This is not the thing you really.

Speaker4: [00:45:42] Wanted to do.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:43] Anyway. It’s something else.

Speaker4: [00:45:45] You want to do. Those are the people that.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:45:48] I’ve just loved that because we don’t give our self enough. We don’t give ourselves a chance. It’s like we say things like, I even used to say this now my son, before he died, said he wanted me to get healthy. He gave me instructions to hike. I said, I.

Speaker4: [00:46:05] Can’t do this. I can’t do this. But one day I said, Well, you know, girl, you can get up and walk around the corner. That’s success. Yeah, that’s what you’re doing. Yeah. For me at that time. And now? Now I’m up to 40 miles a week. Okay, So people just.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:46:22] Just started. That is. That is that is so empowering. And let people see you fail. That’s empowering and let them see.

Speaker4: [00:46:32] You get up. That’s empowering to.

Phillip Hearn: [00:46:36] Yeah, I love it.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:46:37] And love yourself no matter what happens.

Phillip Hearn: [00:46:41] That sometimes can be the toughest thing for people to do on a consistent basis, right? Not in moments, not in spurts, but consistency of, like you said, the mirror technique. When we look in the mirror and I’m going to find the best things about me. That’s I like that definition and everybody in the fun part. I like asking that question to people that I know and that interests me because the answers are so different. They come to back to universal pieces, right? Giving yourself some grace, finding the true portions of who you are and continuing to kind of go again. But I love that. That’s a great that’s a fun answer for that. So you’ve got so much going on, right? And we talk so much about it. And again, it puts a big smile on my face. But how do you find your time to reset, relax and allow you to go again? What does that process look like for you? Because we always hear go, go, go from folks who are successful in their personal and especially their professional lives. What is that? Reset and relax time look like for you? What do you do?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:47:44] So I probably.

Speaker4: [00:47:46] Have more relaxed time than people think.

Phillip Hearn: [00:47:51] They always ask you, do you sleep? Let me let me ask the question I always get. Do you sleep?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:47:55] Um, I didn’t.

Speaker4: [00:47:56] Before.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:47:57] So I spent a time where I didn’t get much sleep. I was running on 3 or 4 hours of sleep and, um, and then I had a visit to the doctor who.

Speaker4: [00:48:08] Explained that my every all.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:48:10] Of my vitals were just off. Right. Just off. So I at that time, I, I read the a book. I think it was Surrender by Michael Singer. Okay. Okay. So I said, you know what? I can’t function like this. So now this is when the rubber hits the road. I either believe in a divine presence that’s going to help me through. I don’t. Okay, this rate, I’m going to burn out, right? So I sleep now. I, I, I go to bed. Okay, So.

Speaker4: [00:48:41] So everything is all about 1030. Okay? I go to bed and get under the cover. Go to bed. Okay. Right in pajamas. Go to bed. Right. Nothing’s on. Everything’s off. And. And don’t have an emergency because I’m not going to go see you till the morning. All right? Right. And then. And then I get up in.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:49:04] The morning and have about an hour and a half, or I spend with myself, which is prayer time. And then I do affirmations and I go over gratitude list and I do all of that. That’s an hour and a half. I don’t allow it to be interrupted. Um, so then I start my day with this the world, and then I get anywhere from 3 to 6 miles in a day during the daytime. So I find that once I started to get some rest, I wake up in the morning energized, right? And then after, after I do my my prayer time, even in while I have that time and I do that.

Speaker4: [00:49:40] Meditation.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:49:41] Time, answers to stuff come. So when I start work, answers are there already. So yeah. So I find that I, I can do more, it seems with less time because I’m rested and, and that was a big thing for me to get rested and to just use the meditation time. So it sounds like it’s all work. Uh, luckily I always say I can do it. I can do a normal amount of work in a short period of time, but that’s not me. That comes from being rested and being focused because when you’re focused, you’d be surprised what you can get done.

Phillip Hearn: [00:50:22] Yeah, yeah. Proper preparation almost, basically. Right?

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:50:26] It is.

Speaker4: [00:50:27] And then but then have then I do have some.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:50:29] Things like at the end.

Speaker4: [00:50:30] Of the day.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:50:31] I will go through my to do list what I accomplished, what I didn’t accomplish, I set tomorrow up to that’s key for me is I write down what I, I write down what I know I need to do tomorrow. And I have two columns, things that absolutely have to be done and then things that I can move if there is something else that comes up because there’s emergencies. So I like to make sure I’m going to have some time to handle those emergencies without ruining sleep and looking at high cholesterol, high blood.

Speaker4: [00:51:00] Pressure and all that other stuff again. So.

Dr. Stephanie Wilson-Coleman: [00:51:02] Right. So I do that. So I do that. So I sit down, I write down five things that I know I’m going to do tomorrow and then said, okay. And if I get time, I’ll do these. And if tomorrow just goes haywire, okay, these are the things don’t have to do tomorrow, I can do another day. So you can see I got a plan A, B and C going into the day before I go to bed.

Speaker4: [00:51:23] So that’s probably why I can sleep. It’s already know what tomorrow’s going to look like, right? Yeah. And so ready to go. Right. Don’t check. Don’t check social.
