3 Deaths in 3 Months and How I’m Processing

Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Today, I need to take a step away from our usual content to share something deeply personal. Over the last three months, I have experienced the loss of three incredible people who have had a profound impact on my life. Without them, there would not be a Patrice Washington as you know me today. These individuals have shaped who I am and have been instrumental in my journey and in the creation of Redefining Wealth.

My heart is heavy, and I find it impossible to sit down and continue business as usual. This episode is my way of honoring and respecting these three amazing souls. I could push through and pretend everything is fine, but that wouldn’t be genuine or authentic. It wouldn’t be right. These people have meant so much to me, and their absence has left a significant void. I need to take this time to grieve and to process these losses fully.
