Use Willpower and a Higher Power to Create the Business of Your Dreams, With Tonyah Dee

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on April 20, 2022

Tonyah Dee was 40 years old, with an 18- month-old son, when she went through a two-year separation that eventually led to a divorce. A couple years later, she was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and around the same time discovered that her ex-therapist was working with her ex-husband out of a book titled, The Productive Narcissist. This piqued her curiosity, which led her to read several books on the subject of anxiety and narcissism. A common theme among many of them was to learn to practice meditation and prayer.

This struck a chord with Tonyah, and she took her first step down a very beneficial new path. She woke early in the morning to meditate, often singing worship songs, meditating, reading and contemplating scripture and praying. Eventually, a habit of daily seeking The Trinity was established. Her faith and trust in God became unshakable.

Then during her meditation time one morning, she heard the Holy Spirit direct her to make meditation music from the Bible. She responded by saying, “Who, me? I know nothing about making music.” She heard the same message for about a year.

Despite having no formal music background, she finally said yes to the persistent voice of the Spirit of God. Soon she was writing down songs and singing them during her morning meditation.

Conflict and stress were still a part of her life, but peace and compassion began to gradually overcome her situation. Grace flowed in and her company, YahLight, was born.

Along with making music, Tonyah teaches YahLight’s daily practices. She still tries to wake up every morning and start her day with stillness, singing, meditation, contemplation, reading scripture, and prayer. Arguably, these practices are what have helped her rise above all of her life’s challenges, including over 18 years of living (and thriving!) as a single mom.

Join Tonyah and Adam to discover:

  • How authenticity is developed through spiritual disciplines
  • We have inner powers that lead us to inner strength
  • How spiritual disciplines are effective for business
  • Why meditation is so popular and why is it so hard to do
  • What role a higher power has in helping us to create a business of our dreams
  • And much more!

Are you ready to stop the struggle and accept the grace? Tune in.
