it is a cold day. I'm back in the atl
for a little bit in Atlanta, And as I said,
(01:12):
Christmas is getting closer and closer. Can you believe it?
I mean, my goodness, when you look back over twenty
twenty five, I can remember me having to adjust to
saying twenty twenty five, But here we are, and we
are grateful because God has really been with us sustained us,
(01:37):
blessed us, encouraged us throughout this entire year. I have
an amazing show for you today. Oh my goodness, it's
so powerful. I had to have Pete Adams come back

certainly been a part of her life. And we're gonna

inspiration and how tos. So make sure you follow me
(02:43):
and I have some great news. You know. Last week
I went out to lunch with doctor Michaeh. Moseley. We
have business brainstorming sessions once a month, and he said, Constance,
are you doing your yearly holiday coaching special I said no,
I hadn't thought about doing it this year, and he said,
(03:04):
I feel like you should. And you know, when I
thought about it, I'm like, my goodness, God has blessed
me and sustained me this year. So I'm letting you
know that you have seven days to purchase my by
one hourly coaching session and get another one completely free.
(03:26):
And it is my gift to you. You know, I said,
I think on one video this week that I coach
on six continents and everybody wants the same thing. Everybody
wants love, family, connection, a sense of belonging. I've coached
on business, purpose, money, a new career. Everybody desires that,
(03:52):
and then everybody wants health, well being and all of
that great mental health, and people are looking for a purpose.
So if you have love, I got to bring purpose
and money together. But if you have love, purpose, money,
(04:12):
a well being, health and love and a family, that's
what everyone is looking for. So even though I may
be doing executive coaching, relationship coaching, I got that out.
It is your opportunity to invest in you. So if
you've been going all year and you're like, I'm looking
for love, but I don't know what's happening and why
(04:36):
can't I attract love. I've been on all the dating
apps and you've been doing that year after year. You
might need coaching if you're always struggling financially, if you
always are struggling at the end of the month. I
had somebody just tell me this week. I thought I
could do it by myself. Nobody does it by themsel.
(05:01):
She was so shocked when I told her that I
coached twice a month of myself. So, if you've been
struggling with money, if you know you have more talent,
if you have if you know that you could start
a business, how do you market? How do you find
your niche in business? So if those are some areas
(05:21):
that you really want to change, this is a great
opportunity for you to take advantage of my buy one
hourly coaching session, get one free. Of course, you can
buy as many as you desired. I'm investing in you
by giving you a fifty percent discme offer my regular price.
(05:42):
So it's a couple of ways that you can really
make your purchase and you're really investing in yourself. I
had somebody talk to me this week and they said, well,
you know, I had thought about coaching you, but spending
you're not spending. Spending means you're not going to get it.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Hi Constance, thank you so much for having me on
your show. And Hi Pitt.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
All right, so let's go. We're gonna get started. So everybody,
I want you to think about your life and then
and then when you hear this, you're gonna like you're
gonna be saying, I gotta get up off of my
rear end and do something. So Gracie, we're gonna start
from the very beginning, readly quickly. So you you somehow
found the Think Believe in manifest talk show. Is that
(11:04):
what happened? And you were living in South Africa? What
were your circumstances like when you first found the show?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
So I found the Think Believe maney first show. I
think it was twenty thirteen or twenty fourteen, if I'm
not mistaken. It was when I was just going through
a rough phase pat in my life. I just lost
my mom in two thousand and seven, and I was
just trying to find my way. So one day I
was just sitting at work and I was going through
(11:34):
my phone and found iTunes and found a podcast. So
I was like, okay, let me just listen. And then
I listened to one episode of your show where you
were talking to Pete about how to use the Law
for attraction to manifest the life of your dreams. So
I listened to it, and then I reached out to
you because I was like, Okay, let me just try.
(11:54):
She's in America. I don't know she might she responded,
will she not responded, but there's no how many try.
So I sent you an email and I know I remember.
First conversation was via sky So we had a conversation
on Skype, and you told me how you do your
coaching and all that, and I was like, I'm very
interested in doing this learning and changing my life, changing
(12:17):
the way I think, and being becoming a better person
in my life. I explained the whole story to you
what had happened to me, and you said, it's possible.
It's the how part is not up to you. It's
up to God. You just need to work on yourself,
do the things that I'm asking you to do, and
(12:37):
that's how it started. The rest, like they say, the
rest is history, right.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And then Pete, I want you to jump in here
because I referred you to Pete because and Pete, I
think I told you about her and you sent her
out of your books? Is that right? Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, it was actually right at the beginning when we
converted ourselves digitally, because I was just like, you told
me about this amazing person in South Africa, and I'm like,
I have no idea how to get a book to
South Africa back then, so I emailed them our Amazing
self Study Guide to Grace way back when. And like wildfire,
(13:21):
this amazing woman took the information, made it her own
and ran with it. I mean, it's like there's so
many people of this say they want to change their lives,
but there are very few that will actually do It's
whatever's necessary to make it happen. And well, sure enough,
Gracie is that person and she made it happen. So
(13:44):
I mean, we all have this stability, and you know,
I don't care what your excuse is. If you're alive,
you can change your life and make it happen, and
like I said, that's why we have Gracie on the
show doing everyone who's listening to this because she did it. Hold,
so hold onto your seat because it's gonna get real good,
(14:07):
real soon.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah. And so you took Peter Pett's book. You call
him Peter with your accent. You took Pete's book. And
I think at the time, you don't have a house
or a car. Am I correct with that? You don't
have a suitcase, you know, or anything? Tell us about that?
And how do his book help you in those areas?
(14:29):
And you know, you create a vision board and all
of that, you don't have a house or a car.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yes, So, after I started listening to the show and
to Peter's messages, I did what he asked to do.
I went and bought a general. I started writing my goals.
After listening to his story and reading his book, I
was like, if he can do it, I can also
(14:55):
do it. So I started writing down what I wanted
to do. And then one day I said when I
was at workers like, I want to buy a house.
It has always been my goal and my dream to
buy a house. But the how part I didn't know
because I was like, I'm inning a law salary. Will
I be able to make it? Will I be able
to buy a house? And all that? And I remember
(15:17):
you telling me say the how part, grace is really
not up to you. Just work on it, trust and
believe in God. And I did that. I wrote down
and I started looking at apartments, and I visioned how
I wanted this house to be. I had pictures, took
pictures on the internet, put them in my journal and
writing my affirmations in the present tense. Thank you God
(15:40):
for this beautiful house. Thank you God for this wonderful
kitchen that I look forward to cooking meals, inviting my friends,
baking my cakes to sell for my business. And then
I went viewed a lot of houses, and then one
day walked into this area in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
(16:01):
I went and I saw the place and I was like, okay,
will I be able to make it? And the the
lady was like, don't worry. Fill out the details that
you need to fill in, leave everything else to you
to me, I'll get back to you in the next
two to three working days. So I went, I filled
out the application form, I went home I started praying.
I was like, God, if you can do it for
other people, you can also do it for me. You've
(16:23):
had my cry, I've been crying, and you know my goals,
you know my desires. Like you said in your word,
you know all jere My twenty nine, verse eleven. God's
plans are his plans and are his ways. I need
to trust and believe in him. So I trusted and
I believed in him. A few days later, I got
a call, You've been approved. This is the house that
(16:46):
you're going to be getting. Mind you, this house, it
was just say, an empty house that I had to
redesign and something that I wanted because I wanted to
walk into a house that out design myself, a house
that I'll be able to live in and be happy
because I'm going to spend in ten fifteen years in
this house. So I designed my kitchen, I designed my bedrooms,
(17:07):
and I designed my living room. And then I was like,
I don't have any furniture for my house. How am
I going to do it? Save money? Designed also that
went into the store, bought the stuff that I wanted,
refurbished my house, and the journey just started going. Things.
You know, It's like when you're being given a gift
in a bigger package, but the smaller package is right
(17:29):
at the bottom. You keep opening and then boxing and boxing.
That is what happened with my life. I got a
bigger box. I had to unbox the first box, which
was the house. The second box was me furnishing my house.
The third box was like, what is next? What do
I need to do my business? I started running my
cake business from home COVID nineteen K. I was like, okay,
(17:50):
but is my business going to run when COVID Now
no one is going to buy cakes? But I started
promoting still during COVID during lockdown lockdown in South Africa
for US, it was what we called level for where
people were not allowed to travel. But still I promoted
my business. I sold my cakes, saved that money that
(18:10):
I used to save my cakes. I bought the stuff
that I needed. Also took myself to school to study
early childhood development. And then a couple of years later,
I was like, I need to buy a car. It
has always been my dream to buy a Mini Cooper
or a JIP. So I was like I had that
on my vision board and I still have it up
until now. I was like, it's going to happen when
(18:31):
I don't know, but God is going to fulfill my dreams.
So I went and I started looking at cars, and
I was like, okay, I can't afford also my salary.
And I remember constant telling me can't does not work.
You need to leave as if your prayers have been answered.
And I remember Peter saying to me, Grace, carry on reading,
(18:54):
visualize manifest So I would sit, meditate and see myself
driving this car, see myself not using public transport anymore.
And then one day I walked into a dealership and
my friend worked at a dealership and were like talking.
She's been trying to convince me for years to get
a car. And I would say, Pamela, I can't afford.
She's like, no, you can't. Don't say you can't afford.
(19:16):
We can work ways on how you can do it.
You can cut down on certain things and live within
your means. And I was like, but how do I
then live within my means with the car which I
need to pay for insurance, I need to pay for
gas and all that. There, I've got a house. She
was like, don't worry. I went home, started writing again
in my journal, thank you God for this beautiful car.
(19:39):
I look forward to driving going to places that I
want to go with my friends and family. This car
is going to take me from point A to point B.
My car is paid on time and in full, in full,
I will not lack any gas for my car. All
my bills are paid up on time. And then I
started living like that. Trust me, it worked perfectly. Some
(20:03):
days of like, oh, I don't have money for guests,
and then you just get somebody to say, oh no,
I just wanted to bless you. There's money, you can
do whatever you want. And I'm like, I can't be
buying the or like someone who say I'm giving you
money for lunch. So the instincts in me comes and say, okay, Grace,
you don't need to buy lunch. What do you need
to do? Put guess in your car. And then it happened.
(20:26):
Life started. You know what would the young people say,
cruising nicely? It started cruising nicely, and God would in
mysterious ways that I cannot and I put on my
seat belt and I started cruising nicely, and yeah, yeah,
I am pet.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What did you just hear her say in that in
that powerful story.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I am just like I've heard the story before, but
I can tell you it blows me away. It is
just like she did it so perfectly. It's just like
she put it out there, you know, stayed out of
the house. It's like, hey, you know the house is
a man of God the spirit. And you know she
(21:14):
gratitude now for her beautiful car, and the next thing,
you know, she screws along and I'm just like sitting
here and I'm like, wow, I'm like time for her
to write the book because you know she's she's got
it down for sure. What were you thinking? Conscious?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
She was very intentional. She decided. I don't know the
how she affirmed it every day in the present tense.
She moved out of her comfort zone. She virtualized in
(21:56):
spite of and I know at the time the economy
in South Africa because it was not that great, Am
I right, Gracie? It was too and so and she
even though she felt her feelings every day, she got
up in faith. So for somebody who's listening or watching this,
it don't mean you won't get discouraged. It doesn't mean
(22:19):
you may not cry. It doesn't mean that you're gonna
get frustrated. But that's not where you live. And she
made a decision. This is mine. I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Thank you God, oh oh, absolutely constantly, and she owned it.
It wasn't it was like for Gracie, it was like, oh,
maybe I'll get a car. It's like, no, thank you
Lord for my beautiful car. And she drove it in
her mind's eye and it's it's just like so perfect
(22:52):
and it's I've inspired. I think I'm gonna figure out
what my days car is going to be put on.
Boy for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So for all of my folks who live in the
US and in other affluent countries, this woman, you know,
it's difficult for you know, my mentor lived in Africa
and he said, I don't know if it's like that.
He said, you don't be getting no morecause you're gonna
have cold, hard cash, and so it's not an easy thing.
(23:26):
And so but Gracie was just intentional and focused and determined.
And what I loved was after she read Pete's book.
And by the way, y'all, y'all can get his book free.
He every time you come on the show, he talks
about how that book is free. But She just didn't
read it. She executed it. She walked it out. And
(23:47):
that's what I love about you.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
And one of the things I loved what Grace said
right at the beginning was if he can do it,
I can do it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
And you know, and that's true for all for everyone.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
I can do it.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Gracie did it. You can do it too. I mean,
it works for everyone. It's a law. But the thing is,
you've got to do your part. And Gracie did her
part every single day, probably twice a day. You know.
She stayed with it until it showed up. And how
many of us have been guilty of like saying that
we desire something and you start doing your our power
(24:27):
and then two weeks later, well it hasn't showed up yet.
This stuff doesn't work, and then you just go back
your the life you were trying to leave.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
So stay with it and so and so go ahead,
go ahead, Grace said, on what you said in Pittsburgh,
you spoke about twelve crazy goals for me.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I took that and I was like, I also need
to have my twelve crazy goals. I wrote them down,
and those crazy goals was the house, the call, the
things that I really wanted to achieve in my life.
And I remember it wasn't easy, to be quite honest
to tell the listeners, it wasn't easy. But through hard
(25:09):
work and perseverance and what you want to achieve your
end goal, you know your end results. I had people
that discouraged me. I had people that told me it
will never work. I had people that say, with your attitude,
this will never work. I know, I was one person.
Sometimes I'll be a negative person. And I remember Constance
(25:30):
telling me stop with the poor me victim mentality. She
kept on saying that to me, the poor me victim
mentality has to stop. It was difficult. It took a
ten one day where I had to sit down and
ask myself very hard questions. And these hard questions had
to took me a point of me going into church
(25:53):
with my Bible, with my journal, with my Rosary and praying.
And I remember this day vividly. I was, I was
in church. It was just after after work, because I
would go to church every single day after work. And
I said, one day, in the silence and then in
the presence of God, and I read a scripture that
(26:15):
stuck with me for a very long time. Which is
Isaia sixty says, when the time is right, either Lord
will make it happen. It kept on repeating, and it
kept on coming to me, when the time is right,
either Lord will make it happen. So I asked myself
that there was like, but God, when is the time
going to be right? I've cried, I've suffered, I've done everything,
(26:36):
I've knocked it doors, I've tried even dating. I've tried
a lot of things but it's not working. But when
is the right time going to come? And then I
went back, write your twelve crazy goals. Visualize money first,
close your eyes and just meditate and see. Start living
as if your prayers have been answered. Start living as
(26:58):
if you've got it. Or negativity will come. We're not
saying everyone doesn't get negative at some point, but it
will come. You need to come back. Change the frequency again.
If you find yourself going into the other way, change
frequency and come back. Because you know what you want
to achieve at the end of the day, work very
(27:18):
hard for it. You know the end goal, you know
the end results. There's a light at the end of
the tunnel. But it's up to you, as an individual,
how change your mind, change your thinking, change the way
your life would be great. So for me, it was
just amazing, just that moment of sitting down in silence, visualizing,
(27:39):
praying and trusting God and believing in him.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, that's so powerful and really we you not wait now, God,
God was waking on you too, a line to stay.
This is mine to say, to see it in the now,
not knowing how, and to release it. So let's move
on and talk about I remember when you said I
(28:03):
want to move to Cana. You didn't even have a suitcase,
did you? No, I didn't have okay, and you put
a suitcase on your vision board? Am I correct? Yes?
I did.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
I put a send it to me and paiter, Yes
I did. This is a very very funny story. I
put the suitcase on my vision board, and I remember
wanting to visit my brother in twenty nineteen. It was
going to be my first long international trip, so I
put it on the vision board. I was like, I
(28:35):
see myself walking into the airport, pushing my case, dressed
all good, walking into the airport and flight and sitting
on the window seat. I remember because this I remember
very well, Constance, you'd constantly say, this is how you
do your life, Like if you want a car, if
you want something, you put it out there step by step.
(28:56):
So I did that and one day I walked in
and I was at the mall. And in South Africa,
there's a shop that I used to like going and
buy small things for the house. So I get in
and they were running a competition. If you buy this
and then you spin, you might get anything from the shop.
So I was like, okay. So there the suitcase and
(29:16):
the other things, and I was like, looking at it,
just like it's on my vision board. I want a suitcase. God, please,
this is it, God, Universe, if you can hear me,
I want this. So I took it and I spined
the wheel and guess what, it landed on the.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Case and I won the case. Oh my, I mean
I don't knew. What do you say behind that? I
love it?
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Are you kidding me? I heard the story before and
I remember, I mean, she's just like this hour works
when Grace said before from the verse of the Bible,
you know all the time is right, I'll you know,
I'll take care of it, and everyone gets caughtible, there's
the time going to be right. Well, you know what
(30:02):
that's up to God, not you. So it's like just
trust you know, God's gonna God's gonna make it happen
for you.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And that story is amazing.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
I am like dying over here.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Intentionality rules the world of ladies and gentlemen. When you
become intentional about something, the whole universe conspires to get
it to you. When you become intentional about something, all
of the light atoms I'm putting in my neuroscientist piece now,
all of the light atoms uh in the universe are
(30:39):
here to help, supply and support you. And so when
you are intentional, uh, you don't have to know how
God got a million ways if you got to come
through a raffle to get that suitcase to her. So
you got your suitcase, and let's talk about making the
decision to go to care the flying there. And so
(31:02):
now you live in Canada, tell us about that journey.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Hey, this journey started in twenty nineteen. I came to
Canada to visit my brother for Christmas, my first white Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Case white Christmas, Okay, you just know.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
So I came and I saw the place around and
I was just still in what we call a limbo
I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, but
I wanted to leave my previous job, but I didn't
know how and when, because I was like, Okay, things
are not looking very great in South Africa. But then
(31:38):
how am I going to move into the next chapter
of my life into the first world? How do I
do it? So I came saw the places. I was like,
it's cold. I don't think I'll survive, but I'll do it.
So I went. You know again, God the universe work
in mysterious ways. I came the whole of December, so
(31:58):
the place went back then as soon as I learned it.
I remember I was talking to my sister and boxing
and unpacking my bags and I was like, she was
asking me, uh, why don't you move to Canada. So
I was like, ah, nah, I don't think I want
to do it. It's not for me. And she was like, Okay,
(32:18):
you're not getting any younger one. You need to go
go out there and just give it a try and
see how it turns out. So COVID came. Lockdown came.
I always say to people, this is one thing that
I will constantly say to people. COVID came with it
came with hardships, it came with losses. But for me personally,
(32:42):
I remember one of our priests a church saying, if
you come out of COVID, out of lockdown, and you
haven't changed your life, there's a problem. You need to
ask God to give you your own lockdown, your own COVID,
so that you can reevaluate your life. So twenty nineteen,
twenty twenty, I got home, I started lockdown, came, I
stayed at home, and then after hearing that message, was
(33:05):
like something came to my mind and said, Grace, this
is a time for you to change. This is for
a time for you to close this chapter and start
a new chapter. Maybe I don't have the plans for
you here, but I want you to go try somewhere
else and see how it's going to work. I am
sending you out there to become an ambassador of my word.
(33:26):
You don't know who you're going to touch, you don't
know what is going to happen, but this is your time.
And I remember asking myself to say, but God, I'm
not ready. I don't think I'm equipped for this. Pecking
my bags and leaving my family, leaving my comfort zone
to go start a new life. I had already made
a good life in South Africa from moving from Zimbabwe,
(33:49):
made a good life in South Africa. South Africa had
become my home. Now I have to go again, lend
new culture, lend new things. It's going to be difficult.
I'm literally getting to forty soon. How am I going
to do this?
Speaker 2 (34:01):
And it came.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
It was constantly a nudge, and I was like, one
day I took a lip of faith.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
You made a decision.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Yes, I made a decision. One day got up and
I was like, to my family, I think I've made
up my mind. I want to move. I applied my
visa for my visa, and I didn't know honestly. I
was like, I don't know how I'm going to do it.
(34:32):
But God, your ways. My ways are not your ways.
You know the plans that you have for me. I
am ready for this new chapter. For me, Guide me,
protect me. If this is what you want me to do,
I am ready for it. Applied, pecked my bags, started
packing my bags at work. I didn't tell them where
I was going, what I was doing. You know when
(34:54):
they say when I always tell people move in silence,
there's a reason why one has to move in silence.
Don't announce you goals, your dreams before it has happened.
Keep it in a box, lock it, zip it, and
unwrap it when the time is right. I resigned at
work selling my car. People like, oh, no, you won't
(35:16):
be able to get a buyer for your car. Trust me.
I put that in my journal, in my vision board.
I was like, I had everything planned like December. By
the time I leave on the twenty ninth, On the
twentieth of fab my car should have been sold. I
should have had a tenant. It was difficult to get
a tenant the past three weeks for me to leave.
(35:37):
But I remember saying, I put on my vision board
I had my bills that I needed to pay, the
things that I needed to do. I remember I had
a picture that I cut out that had a key
that I was handing over to a new tenant.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
No, I have merged, hold up, hold up, hold up girl?
So you had a key? Yes, okay, pee, okay. Down
to the details on that vision board, Oh oh absolutely.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
And the thing is she's like she manifested. I mean,
you know, I don't think everyone caught what she said
about you know, she's she's moving out of the country.
She still has her home, and she had to get
it and rented in three weeks to the right person.
And she had a sellery car. I mean, these are
(36:28):
big things.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
And what did she do.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I put it on my vision board. Done deal and
and and.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So it is, you said it.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
So you put the key up there, two keys, actually
key for my house, key for the car. So I
put the keys and I wrote on the vision board,
I'm grateful for the new tenant that is going to
be walking into my house, that would look after my house,
pay my rent in time and in full. I am
(37:02):
grateful for the new buyer that is going to buy
the car that I've used. They will be able to
drive it and love it. Two minutes later, I get
a call from the car dealership. We found a buyer.
They want it now. The sale will be done, and
I was like, but I needed to be done in
the next forty eight hours so that I can hand
(37:24):
over the car and all the paperwork money be in
my bank account so that when I fly I don't
have to chase people. And they're like, okay, not a problem,
But I said, I still need to use the car
in the next six hours. Only need a problem. I
needed to finish everything, inspect my house before I leave.
Then I can hand over the car. They're like, okay,
not a problem, we'll process the deal. The new buyer
(37:45):
won't get the car in the next two days, but
for you, you can sell the car. We'll meet it
at a distant location and we do it. So everything
was done, finish my house, cleaned it. New tenant also
completed paid their rent six months in advance. Because I
didn't know. I was like, I'm not going to where
am I going to get someone? Because the agents kept
(38:07):
and say, oh, it's difficult to get this, and I said, ah,
if it's difficult for you, it's not difficult for me.
It's okay. But I know the day when I step
out of this house, which is my house, I will
have a tenant. She was really shockedous, like I don't understand.
We got a tenant. She signed, she paid rent for
(38:30):
the next six months. That is amazing. So I was like,
it is God works in this mysterious ways.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I did it.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
I knew what I wanted and this is how I
wanted to be and it worked to the tea exactly
how I envisioned it.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Wow, tenants got the.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Key, moved in, did the inspection. Now the car dealership,
same story. And one thing, you know, mind you, I'm
doing all of this without people knowing because my sister
was also stressed, Oh how are you going to do?
And I say, don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you.
Just haank ten enjoy it because it was her birthday
on the nineteenth. So it's like, this is someone wanting
(39:09):
me to give her a good birthday gift to say,
don't stress. I've got everything in order. You've been looking
after me and babing me for a very long time
since mom passed away. Now help me. Let me stand
on my two feet. If I failed, then I'll come
back and say I failed, then you can help me.
But for now, help me to stand on my own.
(39:30):
So it's like, okay, do it, but make sure that
whatever you're doing, you need to be ready for your
flight today. So I'm doing all this and it's the
day that I'm flying.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
So I get to church and I drive and I
sat down and I prayed. My prayer that day was like,
thank you God for answering my prayers. Thank you God,
for everything that you've done for me in my life.
This new chapter that I'm going into, I ask you
to just walk with me, guide me, and protect me.
You know the plans that you have for me. The
(40:01):
timing is right, this is your will. Let it be done.
I got out of church. The card dealership calls me,
can you bring the car? I said, no, I'm not
bringing the car. You need to come and fetch the car.
The location that I am at, I was at church
and I was like, I want to do this and
see it in a nice way. So I went and
I told my priests there are going to be people
(40:22):
coming just in case you see me handing over the kids.
No one is stealing the car. I am selling my
car and I'm giving it away.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
So the car.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Dealership guys came, we signed, we inspected, everything was perfect,
giving the car. I got into an uber and I
went home preparing now everything. All my bags are packed,
panicking with my sister rushing. We need to get to
the airport. I am like, so you know, with the
young people, the language, I'm so chilled, Like I'm literally relaxed,
(40:50):
no stress, none whatsoever. I was like, the man upstairs
has got it. In control, So why stress. It's no
use in me panic and stressing. And I remember one
of my friends was like, just move with the floor.
So I literally went with that, moving with the floor.
Got to the airport check in and I was like, bags.
(41:13):
I checked in my bags already and I was like,
we hear stories of people saying, oh, bags are opened.
I was like, my bags are not going to be opened.
This flight is going to be smooth and everything I'm
praying for, from the pilots to the air hoster to
everyone in the plane. I'm going to get a window set. Now.
I've always wanted a window set. I had on my
(41:33):
vision board again Air Canada vision board window seat. I
had it and I still have it. And I wrote
and I remember constant be spacific and Peter say be
specific with what you want, and I wrote it. It
was like, window seat is what I want and windows
it it is what I got. We flew from South
Africa to France. Same story. I was like, we're connecting flights.
(41:56):
Will I be able? I said, window seed all the
way from beginning to the end. Got there and I flew.
I was like, God, you protected me thousand miles in
the oceans. I leave literally, you know, when you're flying
and you're sleeping and you're praying. I said today, I'm
on boxing this box of pain, of hurt, of anger,
(42:20):
of doubt, of fear. I'm leaving it into the ocean.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
I go ahead and preach Gracey. And so you flew
because we got to get the condensed version of Canada
because of our time. So you left your past behind
because I told you you need to release all of
that mindset, that victim mentality. We threw it in the
sea of forgetfulness. So you get to Canada, you live
(42:48):
with your brother. Things are not easy. So give me
the condensed version. We need to hear the host. We
get fifteen minutes.
Speaker 6 (42:56):
So I got to Canada, applied for my teaching certificated.
It took a long time, but I prayed and I believed.
I had that also on my vision board, that this
is what is going to happen. When it's going to happen,
I don't know. Did that did my application? And then
during the application process, I remember the Canadian government said
I need to have working experience in Canada. So I
(43:18):
had been searching and searching, looking for colleges or for
schools that could accommodate me in the three months to
try and lend the Canadian culture. Luckily, I got one
lady that accommodated me into her space, into a school.
I did my practicum classes and I went a few
months later. My visa was just about to expire. And
then I'm like, you know, stressed and all that. And
(43:39):
I remember reaching out to you and you said, don't stress.
The how part is not up to you, just leave
everything to God. I went back, started praying and in
my vision board again, I took pictures. I wanted to
be a teacher. This is what I need to do,
this is how I need to teach, and trust me,
it worked. I got certificate. I got my certification, started
applying for jobs, a job at a Catholic school. It
(44:01):
didn't work out, and I was now stressed, crying and
all that. And then this lady reached out from Norway.
Have you found a job. I want to offer you
a job. I want you to come and work at
my school because I thank you. You're fit for this,
because this is your calling. You love doing this, and
I don't want you to waste your life. This is
(44:21):
what you want to do. Okay, not a problem. I accepted.
I did the application, the application process went it. Normally
takes a year for one to get a work visa,
but for me, I wrote it in my journal. In
my there's a prayer journal and there's a journal journal
that I have. I wrote it in both. I was like,
this is going to be unset when I don't know.
(44:43):
They are going to be hurdles in life. But God
has a plan and purpose for me. When his time
is right, all things will work out. I applied they
where he comes here and there. I remember reaching out
to you and you're like, don't worry. And I started
living as if my prayers have been answered. I gave
it all to God and to the universe trust me.
(45:04):
I started looking for apartments. I started looking planning how
I'm going to save out money once I start my job.
I was like, I'm praying for that immigration officer that
is dealing with my application. Whatever hurdles or whatever challenges
that are happening. God be with them, guide them and
protect them. Opened their eyes and with the hurdles, the hiccups,
(45:26):
the challenges that went through into this application, someone a
complete stranger out of Noway came through and said, trust me,
I can help you with this. But the deadline that
I'm giving you it's before Christmas. So I was like, oh,
really reached out to this person. They helped. Immigration came
(45:47):
back and said You've got your visa, your two year
visa to teach in Canada. And that day I got
the news as I was just coming out of church.
There is just something about going out of church and
just being intentional and right in your journal, in your
vision board and having this trust me listeners. It works,
you trust and believe it. I got out and I
got it, and I contacted you to say to give
(46:09):
you good news. This is what has happened. Officially, I
am going to be doing what I love, giving out
and giving it back to the community, which is teaching,
and also doing my radio show with the Cutlic radio station.
And things aligned and things started working out together. I
didn't know also how I was going to work for
a Ragio Cutolic radio station. It's something that I've always
(46:30):
wanted to do, and it happened, and things this year
wigged out for my good wagged out in a way
that I don't know. This was the best Christmas gift
ever of my life, from the radio to the job,
to things that are aligning in my life. It's the
(46:52):
best things ever. God came through the universe. Everyone that
supported and prayed for me and was by me. I
am truly grateful for them.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
It was just.
Speaker 6 (47:02):
Gratitude, being thankful, being intentional and trusting and believing in
God in the universe.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
I mean, man, what can I say behind that pie? Well,
one thing when she was doing her internship, she would
have to get up What time did you get up
in the morning.
Speaker 6 (47:16):
I had to get up at three am.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
Three am and then take a two hour drive and
then work and then come back a two hour drive am.
I correct on that, yees.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
So I would wake up a three am, get ready,
leave the house and got up US four travel for
two and a half hours, get their work, leave worker two,
get home at seven. I'm exhausted, and I still have
to do school over and above, still have to do school,
respond to emails. But I did it. As much as
it was exhausting and painful, it was a painful. God,
(47:51):
this is what I'm going to say. God made it
uncomfortable so that it can become comfortable. I had to
be taken out of my comfort zone to be in
a difficult situation in order for me to be back
into the comfort zone again.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
Right, And so Pete, what do you want to say
behind it? Because I didn't one time? You have the
walk for an hour and then catch the bus for
two hours.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
Yes, I had to walk. Also this was also now
helping at another school. I had to walk, catch a bike,
ride a bike, sorry to get to the location, because
you know it would be painful. I would cry and
ask myself, but why me? Why is this going through me?
And then I remember something came to me and says,
you know the end goal, you know what I want.
(48:35):
The timing is going to be right. Your test is
going to be a testimony one day. I'm giving you
this for a reason. And people came in to my
life to help me at my lowest, at the times
that I didn't want. I didn't know. Sorry, I'm just
I'm just being emotional. I didn't I didn't know. Someone
(48:56):
very close came through to me and help me and
to become what I want to be, to be able
to reach my goals and my dreams, to be able
to give back to other people, to share my story
with someone that might be going through the same thing
that I'm going through, or similar to just say don't
(49:16):
give up.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah, so power Now this woman, okay, people, this is
a woman all of us feminine people like me. She
would get a walk for an hour, then ride a bike,
and then we have to catch a bus after you
rode the bike and then catch a bus. O MG,
how determined? How intentional was she? You know there's a
(49:40):
verse in the Bible then I'm throwing it over up
that it says that the hand of the diligent shall
be successful. It's in Proverbs the person who is diligent
shall stand before kings and queens. That does simply mean
stand before a great people. So her she now she
has her working visa for the next two years. She's
(50:00):
a podcaster. What do you have to say in clothing,
Pete behind all of this, I'm just.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
I am so blown away and let me just let
me just put it this way, because I've been waiting
to say this for like five minutes. But you know what,
if we saw this on television as a movie like
Grace's Life, you people would after the show was over,
everyone would be like done. It is so never gonna
happen to anybody that can't be real. That's like, that's unbelievable.
(50:30):
Well it's not. And she did it. And you know
when the tough get when they go against tough, the
tough get going. And Gracie is one tough person period.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah. And I want to emphasize she cried, she was upset,
she was frustrated, she was scared, but then she would
keep going. And so now you you have your work
visa for two years, Am I correct?
Speaker 5 (50:58):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Okay, and now you are about to find your own
place in the city where you're going to be moving to.
I know you probably get that on a vision board.
Am I right? Yes, with all of the stuff that
goes with that. Wow, I am.
Speaker 6 (51:15):
And I just want to take this moment, this opportunity
to say thank you to you Constance, thank you to
you Pitt for your support, to everyone that also has
supported me behind the scenes when I was down and
I didn't know. I just want to say, from the
bottom of my heart, thank you to eating every one
of you for praying for me, for supporting me. What
(51:37):
you have done for me cannot be and I don't know.
I pray that God blesses you abundantly, that it opens
doors that no man can close. That whatever you touch
me tend into gold. That those that you're going to
help and save out they may be able to be
a blessing to the next person. And I cannot wait
(51:58):
to share my book that is in progress that I'm
working on, and yeah, to just continue sharing my life.
And I hope to have you both one day on
on on my shore.
Speaker 2 (52:09):

Speaker 6 (52:11):
Yes, I am still doing.

I chose that purpose and power. Okay, for now, your
whole name Grace, what's your last name? One? Okay, I'm glad.
I'm gonna let you say that, not me. And you
know we're honored to have supported her, right pee?
Speaker 5 (52:38):
Oh are you kidding me? I I'm on cloud nine.
I am just psch to see what she's been able
to do working with spirit. It's I'm about to cry
for ground a lot. I mean, this is so amazing
and I'm glad I was able to have a small
part of it. I just feel blessed.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Yeah, And I love what Gracie said when she got
Pete's book and she had heard Pete say, if God
did it for them, he'll do it for me. And
I'm saying to listeners, we brought this song so you
could see all of the challenges, all of the obstacles,
all of the nose, all of that. I don't know
(53:23):
how all of the God sending the right people at
the right time. And I'm just gonna say, we don't
have enough time to delve into it. She's had a
tough time in Canada. Things have not been easy for her.
The support that she thought she was gonna get she
didn't get it, and so it's been difficult, but she
(53:44):
kept going. And I tell you the angels have been
with you, Gracey, the Holy Spirit, God, all of these
people and Pete and I just wanted to come home
and support you. And we're sharing I'm sharing this as

it with your friends. I want you to listen to
it over and over again. There were so many wisdom
nuggets there were so many how toos, there was so
(55:33):
much inspiration. Gracie started preaching for a little while, and uh,
it's so inspiring. There's a verse in the Bible that
says God is no respect a person. What does that mean?
God don't like Gracie, me or Pete over you. All
we doing is aligning with what's already hours everybody. I
