Welcome to Day 1 of Purpose to Prosperity! I am SO excited to finally give you access to this incredible series. Dr. Cheryl Wood was one of my favorite interviews of the series. She shares so much wisdom in just 30 minutes. Comment here and let me know what stood out for you the most!
I loved this! I have been keeping such sadness in my life and to be able to find my “unique fingerprint” and focus on what I want to do is empowering!
I loved it! So inspiring!
Man…what an ah-ha moment. I am a foster parent and we have just had a transition of 2 long term munchkins. I have been working hard cleaning and re-organizing and getting ready for the next part of the journey.
I haven’t every thought that abundance not only helps me and my children but also the foster children that come through our home. Money supports me supports them. I didn’t always think that I deserve money. But then I listened and felt that I do deserve the money so that I can further share and move the world ahead, one foster child at a time.
Thank you.
I love what she said about being able to write the check and do what God has called you to do.
Love Dr. Wood! Heard her on Speaker Con and PNC 2022
I completed another Story telling academy and it is powerful

What a fantastic kick off to this series. Dr. Cheryl Wood, I thank you for your inspiration and wisdom and helping women to rise up in strength and power. I’m still wrestling, at the age of seventy-five, to overcome the negative self-talk and wondering what my purpose has been. My mantra, “What difference does it make?” has kept me small and unwilling to actualize my greater potential, but I continue to keep an open mind and continue to be curious as to how to become better at being me, even though I’m running out of time. So again, thank you for this and thank you Maryl.
Thank you so much for your generous and inspirational sharing. What I take from this is to keep moving, even if I don’t know where it is going. And to move NOW, not tomorrow. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you both for your valuable content!
I love Dr Cheryl and all she stands for. I have been listening to her for a number of years and hold her in great esteem. So glad I was able to attend today and hear her words of wisdom once again. Thank you Maryl!
Just what I need today.
I am currently in a situation that is very difficult.
I am a privately hired Caregiver for a professional gentleman that is mobility challenged and seems to be going down a Rabbit Hole that may not have a return point.
I definitely need to pivot NOW!!!
This was great to hear this. We all have something to share to others that they need as well. We just have to have that belief. What a reminder. We are all unique!!
Thank you for this inspirational talk.
I am in transition right now, retired nurse and healing naturally from an autoimmune disease. Looking to my near future and gathering idea momentum.
Great content! Yes we all have a purpose! It’s up to us to share our purpose by serving others!
I am a magnet for success. I am a magnet for money.
Both have been added to my affirmation list.
Thank you Maryl and Dr. Cheryl! Great inspiring information! Loved the energy you both possess!
What a wonderful inspirational message. I love that momentum will be created when you are in motion!! Great message. Raising the bar every day. Yes. Thank you
How inspiring! There is nothing like serving and being fulfilled at the same time. Loved it.
Thank you for starting this series with such an inspirational speaker. Thank you Dr. Cheryl for sharing your story.
This is a reminder to me that when we share our story and step into who we are meant to be, it inspires others to do the same.
We all have something significant to give to the world and it doesn’t do any of those we are here to inspire to keep it to ourselves.
Thank you .. It was just what I needed .Dr Wood
Has a wonderful ,infectious , excitement to share.
Message Mission Movement !! I’m all in
Such a beautiful, inspiring woman!! So many brilliant ahha moments! Thank you!
My higher self woke me up in the middle of the night directed me to watch this amazing interview with 2 great fully alive women leaders. This is a turning point for my life. I just know it. Thank you soooo much.
This is what I needed to hear today.
Really loved listening to you, Dr. Cheryl. So much of what you shared resonated deep within me. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I love this presentation & first time I am knowing about Cheryl Wood – she did so much in her life before she had a college degree I’m curious how she got to be Dr. – I am writing this hours after I listened & watched the presentation. If it’s still available I’ll watch it again. I found Maryl to be totally engaging adding beautifully to the conversation – poised & professional & relaxed. Dr Wood is warm, vibrant & her ideas about anger were new to me. Getting angry could be getting started! This never occurred to me, now it does. Thank you to these 2 beautiful women!
Wonderful discussion! I felt privileged to be an observer of an intelligent look at being engaged in our life. The issue of anger & how it can propel us forward to make the healthy changes in our choices grabber me then most. I don’t get angry about much in fact I’ve been anti-angry (if there’s such a thing) so I found myself wondering about this. Thank you Maryl for moving the conversation so forward so beautifully, with Grace, poise, warmth. Dr. Wood is wonderful & I found myself too engaged to write notes. I’m SO happy I was able to watch this presentation. Maryl is a star in my book!
