The Power of Grief and Joy: Insights from Victoria Rader

The conversation unfolds with Victoria Rader, a luminary in the realm of transformational speaking and quantum personal development. Having garnered accolades as a bestselling author and Broadway producer, her mission transcends mere professional success; it is profoundly rooted in the empowerment of others to embrace their intrinsic worth and potential. Victoria articulates a pivotal lesson imparted by her grandmother during her formative years in Ukraine: the adage that one is 'not rich enough to buy cheap things' encapsulates a philosophy of valuing quality and purpose over superficial gains. This ethos resonates throughout the dialogue as Victoria explores the dichotomy between scarcity and abundance, urging individuals to recognize the gifts of divine grace that permeate their lives. She posits that the act of receiving is often thwarted by a mindset of taking, a societal ailment that leads to perpetual dissatisfaction. By reframing our understanding of abundance, we position ourselves to foster a spirit of gratitude and stewardship, ultimately unlocking the pathways to fulfillment and prosperity.

As the dialogue progresses, Victoria delves into the profound impact of grief and loss on personal growth and spiritual awakening. Drawing from her own experiences of losing numerous loved ones in a single year, she elucidates the intricate relationship between grief and joy, asserting that the depth of one's sorrow can indeed carve space for greater joy. This poignant reflection is complemented by her insights on the significance of honoring one's emotions and the necessity of confronting grief to fully embrace the spectrum of human experience. The introduction of her innovative tools, such as the 'Empower Me' app and the 'Me Journals', serves as a testament to her commitment to facilitating healing and self-discovery in others. Through these mediums, Victoria endeavors to guide individuals in navigating their emotional landscapes, transforming pain into purpose and illuminating the path toward a life of authenticity and abundance.

Victoria Rader:

I'm doing wonderful. How are you?

Keith Haney:

I'm great. I'm looking forward to having this conversation with you.

Victoria Rader:

Me too. Me too.

Keith Haney:

I love to ask my guests this question, what's the best piece of advice you ever received?

Victoria Rader:

You know, I've received so many powerful directives from so many people in my life that I have to ponder on that. And I think the one that comes in is the one I got from my grandma. Grew up in the former Soviet Union in Ukraine.

Every summer I went to the village to be with my grandparents as my parents were working and by modern day standard we were very poor.

You know, there was no indoor plumbing so we had a well and there was an outdoor house to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night for good four minutes, especially in the cold of the, you know, Ukrainian winter was a lot of fun. But my grandma always used to say we're not rich enough to buy cheap things. And it stayed with me my whole life.

She gave me a comprehension and understanding of value that, you know, I saw her how she valued human life.

I saw how she valued her capacity to earn and support a family, but also saw how she valued every single at that point and ruble or translating to our language dollar. And she's learned, she's, she's taught me how to never waste money thinking it's just, oh, it's just $3.

And so that was probably the biggest advice I received in terms of a practical guidance.

Keith Haney:

I love that.

And that's so critical because we do too, we do tend to not make the best use of God's resources and take for granted so much that we have, especially in America. We easily take things for granted in America because we are blessed with so much abundance.

But it cracks me up because we, so many people have a scarcity mindset, even though we are blessed with so much abundance.

Victoria Rader:

I love the word that you just used. I mean, I knew this would be an aligned conversation because the spirit, I think, was present even before we met.

And I just have chills as I say that. But the word for granted and taking things for granted, I think is one of the greatest poisons that we have.

Because think of it this way, we're granted the most immense gift you see. You see, my guru, my master here, I call him my quantum master because I understand.

I understand the laws of quantum mechanics and people like, how can you be both a Christian, a practicing Christian, and understand energy? I'm like, because he's my quantum master. Who else has created the atom? Who else has mastered the elements?

I just happen to understand a little bit more than, you know, maybe somebody who's interested in it. But we are granted free access. We are granted free access to infinite divine grace. The price has been paid. Every day we make a choice.

Do I take that gift for granted and waste it and keep proving and earning and fighting and biting and struggling, or do I receive? And so we take without receiving. We became a society of takers. We take and take and take. And it's never enough. And it's never enough.

And it's never enough versus receive. And because we have been given much, we have been given it all expand from what we have. So, yeah, it's amazing, amazing connection.

Keith Haney:

And when you're takers, you also feel like you're privileged, that you deserve more if you just take and don't give back. So you can never have enough if you're just a taker.

Victoria Rader:

Yeah. Only two mindsets. I tell people I've had this very successful young man, and it was an earnest question. So it was not a flippant answer.

It was a deep answer. He turned to me and he said, how do I know when it's enough? He's built a $26 million company in 22 years. He works very, very, very hard.

He's 22 years old with a $26 million company. And it is an earnest, hard work labor. He is laying his whole life. And he said, how do I know when it's enough? And they said there are only two ways.

Either it's enough now or it's never enough. There's simple there's no third way. There is no third way.

And if it is enough with what you have and you commit to becoming a steward, if you are guided to grow through stewardship, it doesn't matter how big the business grows or how deep the relationship goes. What matters is that it's enough. And a lot of people are stuck in that. And that's what you've earlier said is the lack mentality.

The lack mentality is that one phrase. As soon as. Then when, then. So I pay tithing and we started paying tithing when I've learned about the power of that.

When we had nothing, I stood in the grocery store with my $28 for the week of groceries.

Granted, it was 30 years ago, so you could actually buy stuff with that, not just Frappuccino Lara, you know, but I stood there and I was looking at it going, how can I pay tithing out of this? But because I committed pay tithing, incredible miracles actually followed, like the.

Our phone company sent us a refund that we don't remember ever, you know, paying and so forth. But the bottom line is people get into this lie. As soon as I have more, I will give more.

And that is what's keeping them from being more and from having more. What you have is more than enough to grow and expand infinitely. So, yeah, start where you are.

Keith Haney:

No, I love that. I'm curious as we, as we get into this discussion more, who are some people in your life who were mentors for you on this journey?

Because we all have those people in our lives we may not always think about, but they were there. It's a chance for you to kind of give them a shout out and thank them for being that important person in your life.

Victoria Rader:

I've been very blessed, first and foremost with my parents growing up in the Soviet Union, where faith was not only not welcomed, but you were persecuted for believing. They encouraged free spirit and they encouraged free seeking. And I saw them take a stand. I was mentored by them through actions, not through words.

My dad was a journalist when Chernobyl happened. And for those people that don't know, Chernobyl was the nuclear disaster in Ukraine when one of the plants.

Nuclear plants, malfunction, blew out and poisoned and killed a lot of people. And he was asked three days later to go and report that everything was fine. So he came to the side, came home throwing up, you know, being sick.

So clearly things. He had nuclear poisoning, so clearly things were not fine. And he took a stand on that.

And we went from a very socially respected and recognizable family because he was an editor of chief in one of the main newspapers to losing the status and losing the presence, but gaining something far more important, gaining integrity, gaining wholeness.

And when the Iron Curtain fell, he was one of the very few post Soviet journalists that was invited to come to the US for the Exchange of Information Act. He came home and he became the first independent newspaper owner in Ukraine.

So that that loyalty, that integrity, plus the desire of entrepreneurial spirit. So watching him has mentored me in way unforeseen and many, many mentors. I've had a blessing to be mentored by Bob Proctor.

I'm in the upcoming movie with Joe Vitale, who's a mentor. Greg Reed is a dear friend and mentor. But this is what I'll tell you.

I have an agreement with myself that if I know you, I will want to learn from you and you become my mentor. So as of this moment, Reverend, you are my latest mentor in life and I will leave this conversation enlightened. And I know that for a fact.

Keith Haney:

Wow, that's amazing. I love that perspective though, because you're right, you never know if you're open to it.

Who can be those people in your lives who are powerful influences in your life. So Victoria, tell me about what led you to find your group. You why you too Shine? Because I'm curious.

I looked, I went online, looked at some of the things on there and it was some fascinating stuff. Tell us about the background behind that program.

Victoria Rader:

Shine was founded in:

ery true for me. You know, in:

And all of a sudden, one person at a time, I started losing very dear family members and friends for different reasons. In February, my aunt died in Moldova and we had to fly to this very unexpected funeral.

And then, you know, March comes and I lose my uncle and then I lose my cousin who drowns at a very young age. You know, by the end of that year, I have lost 11 people almost with this once a month thing and found myself at a very dark time in my life.

And what I had to have come to complete peace with is understanding, honoring and loving death as much as understanding, honoring and loving life and understanding that the gift of death is what helps us to redefine life fully and completely.

Which to me is finding that spark of light that God placed in you, polishing it and shining it relentlessly like that understanding of being the light no matter what. That was the year of discovering that. So in November, knowing what it meant, living what it meant, I founded a company that was called you to Shine.

And its whole purpose was shining the light you came to shine unapologetically. And you know, and what you have is enough.

And then what I've started learning with the company, I started as a business coaching allowing for people to really show up as who they are and explaining to them that you can lose people that you will be put off by. And it is wonderful because it creates space for people that can welcome you.

And then it started growing into additional practices of energy healing and of understanding the universal laws. And so we've combined.

I've brought past students and clients who have shifted their lives so significantly that now they became a part of this vision. And so you two Shine is now over a decade old company and we are sharing quantum personal development. But the message is still the same.

Be the light that you've come to be and put it in the spotlight. It is your duty.

Keith Haney:

Oh, I love that you've also created some other things like some innovative tools like mygiftoffer.com and the me journals. Tell us about the me journals.

Victoria Rader:

Yeah, me journals.

Listen, I can tell you very honestly and very upfront that every single product I've ever created is because either I or somebody on my team needed it and it wasn't available. So it was created. As I've mentioned, I've lost so many people.

And what I've learned is that just because their body dissipates, their spirit does go on. And they do have messages for us. And you can communicate with people you love and you can still convey to them things that matter to you.

And so hear me Journal was born Journaling beyond the veil, which is a way to heal during a time of loss and continue Closeness of conversation and we've just had some most tender stories. Usually this journal comes into person's awareness when they have just lost somebody or about to lose someone.

And it never stops to amaze people about that timing, the one that I'm pouring my heart into right now. And now I understand why you and I had a little conversation. I said, I know what I'll talk about is worthy me.

And that is a journal that helps people to redefine their worth.

Because until you remember that you're worthy of God's love, no matter what, you're going to come up with excuses, to dim your light because you're unworthy. Yeah, English has an issue. We look at worth and worthiness and yet the adverb is I'm unworthy. And that's where the confusion is.

You are worthy of God's infinite love. You don't need to do anything. You're worthy of atonement. You don't have to do anything but accept and receive it.

But it doesn't mean that you automatically qualify for all the incredible blessings. You can be unworthy of certain blessings which does not make you unworthy of infinite love of God, which nothing limits.

And that's the confusion that I see in people. And so because we every day do things we're not proud of, we then say, oh forget it, I'm unworthy.

And I think it harms, it harms our Creator to hear that when we were deemed worthy of the ultimate sacrifice. And so those are the journals that we've created. And I, I absolutely love the work and the help that they provide.

One that is very fascinating for me. I had a dream. It was a sacred dream. I will not be going into the depths of the dream. And that dream has changed someone's life so permanently.

And I was praying over it and I said, how come you know, what is, what is, what am I supposed to do with this after this? And so Dream Me Journal was born.

And Dream Me Journal is there for somebody to learn how to allow God to speak to them through dreams because that is the method he's used with all of his chosen servants. We don't dream because we haven't processed our trauma. So we relive the nightmares. We as humanity think prophetic dreams are unique.

They're just one of the many ways for God to communicate with us. But our unprocessed trauma turns dreaming time into healing nightmares.

So that journal takes you through 90 days of learning how to live a God given dream in your life. How to surrender your ambition to God sized dreams through you. I love that I'm on day 67 of third round.

Keith Haney:

I love that I want to go back to something you said as you started before, talking about the dream journal. The unworthy part. I always tell people, especially believers, that the lie that Satan tells you is that you're unworthy.

And he keeps putting it in your ear over and over again. You're unworthy of God's love, you're unworthy of forgiveness, you're unworthy of Christ's sacrifice because he needs you to believe that.

So you walk away from the amazing gift that God has given you. And so I love that you said that about worth. Our worth is not found in who we are because we were created by God. We were an amazing gift of God.

But Satan keeps telling you, yeah, you keep messing up. If, if you keep messing up, why would God love you? So I love that you remind people of their worth.

Victoria Rader:

Yeah. And, you know, and that journal has very active practices because we are conscious and subconscious being.

And gratefully, 98% of our reality is run by subconscious because if we had to remember to take every breath and to beat our heart consciously, I don't think we would do that well. And so I'm very grateful for a very functional subconscious mind.

But it is in that subconscious conscious mind that most of our limitations are stagnant. You know, and so most of our journals tell you to go to. You've mentioned my gift offer dot com.

Because what it does there is, starts taking away for absolutely free layer upon layer of limitation of your subconscious mind.

Keith Haney:

I love that I'm. I looked at your places you've been. You've been on cnn, on Fox, on abc. How has that kind of media exposure impacted your work and your mission?

Victoria Rader:

Well, you know, I am an extreme introvert. And so for me, hiding home with great ideas is a form of heaven.

So I know there are people that are born to seek limelight and they, I mean, I'm not one of those people.

And so for me, I considered it as a sacred duty because I really believe in our products, both free ones and super affordable ones and expensive ones. And so it is that belief of helping people find who they are that placed me on those platform. Because you've got. It's like fishing.

You know, you can't fish in a toilet bowl. There's just no fish there. So you gotta go where the fish is. You gotta go where the people are. And so this is.

This is what I am uncomfortably but confidently and consistently have committed to. And it's been beautiful, you know, it's beautiful to reach people's lives that you've never known were out there.

Keith Haney:

I love that. I also want to circle back to something you said about grief.

When you had so much death in your life in such a short period of time, you learned some things about grief. What did that period of your life teach you about grief that maybe we sometimes miss or forget?

Victoria Rader:

Oh, such a powerful question. Actually. Well, two things. One, I'm an entrepreneur, so very practical.

I'm going to talk about the app that has helped thousands of people heal but first, spiritual before practical. What I've learned is that both grief and joy reside around our heart and in our lungs.

And that it is the depth of grief that provides for the depth of joy, that the fear of grief or inability to process it is what takes joy away. But when we become friends with grief and we honor it and we release it, it's like grief carves a canyon. That joy has room to fill.

You know, I love animals. I have four dogs. I don't recommend it. It's probably a sign of addiction, but I have four dogs at home, you know, and I've lost.

I mean, I've lost some of the animals that. That I just love dearly. And so many of my friends will say, it takes you out so much and you grieve over them and.

And I say, yes, but the joy of having them so far outweighs the grief of saying goodbye. And I see so many people for the fear of grief, not allowing themselves to experience the joy.

Grief is the frame of the painting of joy God has for us.

And so understanding that, actually we have worked with so many clients, we've identified 99 hidden aspects of grief doesn't mean that there are not more, but we've identified 99. And so for one of our apps, Empower Me app, we have an intuitive way. I'm going to do it for. For. With your permission, for your audience.

Because I believe in spirit guiding every experience. So I'm going to go to my grief. It's intuitively built. I'm going to click on it and what it does, it.

It's going to tune into one aspect that somebody is seeking to process. Wow, this is so powerful. The aspect that popped up is not knowing whom to trust.

So you would never think that that's a block of grief, but it is because you're grieving. Loss of reliability. So the first step is to validate. I don't know who to trust and who to turn to.

And then we're going to rewire the subconscious by visualization. With your eyes closed, imagine yourself at the edge of a beautiful canyon. Think of it. I just talked of a canyon. Wow.

Imagine lifting your foot as if over the open canyon to only see a stone appear right under your foot. As you step forward, imagine a stone bridge. Appear one step at a time as you cross the canyon between the two cliffs.

Then see yourself on the other side surrounded by radiant light. Oh, my gosh. And we aren't becoming bridge builders, are we? Not right? Do you feel. Do you. I mean, I do and then affirm with your hand on your heart.

I know how to trust for divine help to appear as I move forward. I'm trusting, I'm hopeful. And me. You see, God never asked us to trust people. He only asked us to trust him to guide us.

Who, when and how, and to what degree to trust. And what a relief it is. So that's the power of. Of my grief. Subset of empower. Dash meap. Long answer. But it felt like giving it.

Keith Haney:

No, it was. It was perfect for our discussion. I love that. That is because you know what grief sometimes does to people.

I know a lot of people have gone through grief is like you said, why buy another? If you talk about animals, for example, why have another pet when you know they're going to die? So we do that with people, too.

Why fall in love if that person's going to leave me? Why take that chance, that risk on this new job, if I may get my heart broken. So we end up not living life to our fullest.

And you talk about optimizing your potential. If we don't take that step and hope that, and believe there's a rock there that God put in front of us, we just don't take the step.

And so we end up being locked in or trapped in a situation where we never really truly reach our potential.

Victoria Rader:

That's very true. And you know, I. I think it's. What you've said is that.

I think for a lot of people, it is the stepping into that abyss before this, before that stone appears under your foot, you know, and. And it's just. It goes back to the beginning conversation as soon as, then when, then. If I've ever heard a limitation, that is it. It's that simple.

When you hear your brain go into once, then, as soon as, then just now, first. First foot over the abyss now. And God does put a stone every time.

Keith Haney:

It reminds me of that passage in Hebrews where I talk about faith is the substance of things hoped for, you know, that's exactly the picture you painted with that bridge of. It's not faith to go, oh, look, there's a bridge here. Let me walk across it. It's faith to know.

I don't see a bridge, but I'm still going to walk across.

Victoria Rader:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's very aligned. And then another aspect that comes in for grief is that you can't force it.

You can't force the healing, but you can face the joy. And the joy is there through grief, you know, because when the deaths were happening, when my cousin died, we were very close.

We were growing up as brother and sister because my brother is 12 years younger than me and my cousin was only two years younger than me. And so I grew up with my cousin as a brother. And I remember first, you know, I was in complete shock that he drowned.

And then I sat, I prayed, I meditated. And one thing I can never deny was the infinite peace of his crossing. Because I was granted a moment of his spirit leaving his body.

And there was so much joy in homecoming. And so it didn't mean that I didn't grieve for me, I was left behind. I can't do things with him. But the joy surpassed the grief.

And so I think that is, that is something to remember that it's not first grief, then joy. It's. Joy is consistent. Grief is temporary. Grief comes and goes, but joy is consistent.

Keith Haney:

Yeah, I love that. So tell us about the upcoming movie. You're going to be in Zero Limits. And what can viewers expect from seeing you in it?

Victoria Rader:

Do you know what? This here's. This is so cool. Why? Because you know how people do. I I them people who teach people to have done vision boards and goal setting, right.

But there's, there is always, there's like steps to this. Your first goal set. And then you do vision boards. And then you, you know, you pray, you manifest. Then you realize, wait a minute.

What if I just ask every day God, what is your will for me? And I'm not moving out of this chair until I know and I'm going to implement it. No. No matter how silly the directive is. And so the Zero limits is.

Is a series of events that led to that unfolding, you know, and it's Joe Vitale's movie. He focuses on Hoponopono as one of the techniques of clearing to. To live a beautiful life.

But what made into that movie was an incredible journey of my nephew being born. My nephew, my sister in law and my brother found out that my nephew in utero was diagnosed with five heart conditions.

So much so that at the time of his birth there were, you know, there's a whole medical staff and a helicopter nurse in the room. And let me tell you, you don't want a helicopter nurse in your room. They're not there to fly the parents for entertainment.

They're there, you know, to collect the organs, heaven forbid for transplant. I mean it's just very.

The beautiful thing for my sister in law also is that I don't think she was quite aware because she was in pain, she was birthing, you know, and so what was happening, he was scheduled for his first surgery for severe corructation of the artery which prevents the blood flow to his body in the first 48 hours. And so he was in medication to keep the artery open. And then they were going to go in and do this first minor surgery.

And the doctor said, you know, in some cases, it autocorrects. And so there was a lot of prayer and fasting, and I was implementing incredible techniques I have learned throughout that year. Do you see?

Every year I set a goal. And that year was helping hands, healing hands, helping hearts. That was the beginning of the year.

He was born in December, and it was through helping hands, literally through quantum touch, that his heart was healed, in addition to other modalities, in addition to all the prayer and all the fasting. And so within first 48 hours, we avoided the surgery. And then as the healing continued, he also had two valves that were not closing.

One was 4 millimeters, one was 8. And he was scheduled for additional surgeries.

And we've seen, through God's grace and through all this skill that I've acquired, others acquired and the power of prayer coming together, that over the first year of his life, every one of those have completely healed. His file actually says medical miracle. You know, medical miracle. And I do.

One thing that I do want to say, because I have worked literally with hundreds of people where I had a privilege to witness miraculous healing, but also to know when a healing was crossing over. You cannot. You know, we say you. You extend person's life. I personally don't believe that.

I believe if it is God's will for life to be extended, he will bring people with skills to activate his will. But if his will for the child to. For the. His child, for a person to go back home, no amount of those skills will redirect that.

But what it will create is a sacred passage. And so the first step of faith is to dedicate the outcome with the same piece and then to implement every skill you have.

Keith Haney:

So I love that. And it's a reminder.

I remember when I was a young pastor, and I would pray for somebody who was in the hospital or dealing with some kind of illness, if it's God's will. I remember one lady said to me, it's like, why do you pray that? It seems like you don't trust God. I'm like, no, I do trust God.

But it may not be God's will that your individual person gets healed. It may be the healing doesn't come on this side of our existence, but it comes on the other side. So we don't.

We don't pray false prayers of God's gonna do this miraculous thing, because that may not be God's will for that person. God's will may say, you've done enough. It's time to come home, good and faithful servant.

Victoria Rader:

Yeah. Yeah. You know, so people ask, well, if it's God's will one way or the other, why would you do everything you've learned? Why would you do that?

And it's like, well, this is the trick story I believe that people get trapped in. It's like, it is his will, and we are his way. And he will always find those who will surrender their will to his for his way to happen.

But because we are his way for that will to happen, we are becoming what he sent us here to become. He doesn't need us. We need the experience. It has changed me permanently, you know?

Keith Haney:

Right, exactly. So you got so many different things, so many different apps going on. What's the next step in Victoria's journey?

Victoria Rader:

We're working on Empower Me app.

It's my favorite project at all times and always because it is one of the most affordable tools for people to shift out of any form of stagnation and start their healing, thriving, and shining immediately. The app address is empowerme Love. We got the dot love. It's not dot com, it is dot love. I'm very proud of it. It's empowerme Love. And.

And so the app has been around and we continually adding to it. So what we're adding to it right now is very innovative, and this is the first time I'm publicly speaking about it, by the way. I'm very excited.

What I've learned is that, you know, we've heard that laughter is best medicine, but now there is actual clinical studies of both. Laughter yoga, when a person, through laughing exercises, releases the consistent issue they have and comes up with a. A solution.

And there is the scientific explanation to that, because what turns out to be when you're stressed about something, you're stressed about the problem. Your brain goes into beta brainwave and in it's very hectic and it cannot receive, you know, spirit can't get through the closed door.

Think of it that way. That brain wave of panic lacks peace.

And so when we laugh, our brain actually relaxes and goes into theta brainwave, making it accessible to divine insight. And so the app, the newest addition to the app that we're Playing putting in is going to be called my solution subset.

So a person will be able to input what's, what they're currently working through and then they will choose one of the three modes of laughter and it will first feel awkwardly forced laughing, but then it'll become natural and it will allow their brain to softly slide into the theta brainwave in which the body relaxes and inspiration becomes more accessible and thus the solutions come. So I'm very excited about launching it. We're weeks away from it, going live inside the app.

Keith Haney:

Wow, that's so cool. And you and you launched the announcement on my podcast. So here we go. History in the making.

Victoria Rader:

The bridge has been built.

Keith Haney:

Boom. The bridge has been built. Boom. I love to ask my guest this question, Victoria, what do you want your legacy to be?

Victoria Rader:

You know, it's fascinating question. My answer to this question actually got one of my chapters that I've written to be flown to the moon, literally.

There is a book that's called Lunar Legacy and it was the first book to have landed on the moon. That's not my legacy.

And what the answer in that book was is that when you stop forgetting about leaving a legacy and you live a life of complete surrender, your life dissolves into oneness of who we are as children of God, as one human race. And so then your legacy is seen in every breath that is taken on this planet.
