168. Your Power Is In Your Vulnerability with Lilah Jones
- 168. Your Power Is In Your Vulnerability with Lilah Jones Lori Saitz 43:02
Can you feel the sense of dread just thinking about that time in your life when something went horribly wrong and everything you had planned was totally shot to hell?
And what’s worse? The fear of criticism and rebuke from those you count on to be part of your support network or their well-intentioned comments that don’t do a damned thing to help and actually make you feel worse?
Lilah Jones faced these questions when she got ripped off for thousands of dollars and almost lost her new house just when she had it in the bag.
For Lilah, her values are so important she lists them on her website: heart-centered hustle, authenticity, bold action, active listening, holistic well-being, and self-actualization. The first three were ingrained growing up as the youngest of 11 children, a situation she describes as a place of scarcity and survival of the fittest.
As she grew up, finished school, and started her career, Lilah came to appreciate that hustle does not have to be a painful thing and it doesn’t need to be rooted in survival. She did not need to have suffering attached to her accomplishments. With this mindset, it seemed everything was fine.
Then, in a sudden, dramatic way, Lilah found out that Fine is a 4-Letter Word when she had the opportunity to get scammed out of the down payment on her new house.
Literally, as she was at the closing meeting, she discovered scammers had sent her a link to wire the Money to them instead of where it was supposed to go in order to close on the house. Lilah and her family, including her elderly mother, were at risk of becoming homeless! Meanwhile, her family was waiting for her and her husband to get back from the closing meeting to celebrate with a bottle of champagne ready to pop.
What was she to do?
Now, note that a moment ago I said “opportunity to get scammed” and not “misfortune to get scammed” – this is key.
In a moment, when you meet Lilah, you’ll hear her amazing story about how she quickly got almost all the money back and still closed on the house. This only happened when she took a chance on being vulnerable. And instead of being condemned, she found strength she didn’t know she had.
This is a story she has told time and time again. It not only made the news, but has inspired thousands of others to find their strength in vulnerability, so they can achieve more than they thought possible. It changed her life forever.
Lilah’s hype song is “Fantasy” by Earth Wind and Fire.
