Opa Hysea Wise is an American author, born to mixed race parents, and her latest book “No Place to Hide” was released in 2020. Like so many people of color, she came to experience a sense of “otherness,” which fueled her desire to discuss diversity as the woven fabric within the American tapestry. She worked as a Training and Development specialist and manager in Government and Corporate organizations. Often tasked to develop and deliver diversity courses, Opa brought a sense of understanding, compassion and a call to action to her audience, with the firm knowledge that returning to the connection we all have would be but one step to returning to love. As both a Jack Canfield Success Coach and an author, Opa Hysea Wise looks to set a fire within the hearts of both her students and her readers.
Opa's journey begins with her imagination, and the wisdom she shares about choosing your imagination, letting go of attachments, and not giving up, is timely and powerful. What do you believe in? Is your mindset one of growth and expansion, or limited? A powerful question, Opa begins today's episode with this question and the perspectives she grew up with. Today, she's moved to a perspective where she's allowed her imagination to see beyond what's in front of her, a universe with limitless potential, a place of expansion. As she shares, to reach this space of expansion only requires a willingness to open up to a greater version of oneself, a shift that will create a more meaningful life. We just have to imagine it. For Opa, the key was to let go of any attachment she had to her dream. She had to let go of attachments to how her dream would show up, she couldn’t insist that her dream would occur only under a certain set of specific circumstances, but instead she had to trust. She had to trust that step by step, her path would open up before her. That there really is a universe full of abundance and endless possibilities, and Opa offers her story to encourage you to not give up on your dreams, especially if you're in the throws of trying something new.
