What if joy is not something you find, but something you remember? What if even in the darkest, messiest moments of your life, you have an inner wizard—a part of you that can create magic, shift perspective, and choose how you show up?

 In this uplifting Wisdom Wednesday conversation, Nyomi sits down with Terry Bean—debut children's book author, life and executive coach, and someone who radiates love and possibility—to talk about reinvention, remembering your magic, and the power of believing that "everything is always working out for me."

Terry shares her journey of multiple reinventions, the story behind her children's book "Abracadabra," and how we can all access the inner wizard within us that creates beauty no matter what we're facing. IN THIS EPISODE Terry's Journey of Reinvention:

• Living multiple lives and reinventing herself over and over
• Navigating uncertainty, loss, and heavy seasons while holding onto joy
• Building businesses, experiencing crashes, moving across the country
• Returning to New York to care for her mother while launching her first book

The Mantra That Changed Everything:

• "Everything is always working out for me"
• How this belief system shapes reality and opens doors
• The power of trusting the journey even when things don't go as planned
• Why Friday's technical difficulties were actually perfect timing

The Inner Wizard & Rose-Colored Glasses:

• We all have an inner wizard—a magical part of us that can shift perspective
• The rose-colored glasses you think you lost? You're still wearing them
• Joy is not something external to find—it's something internal to remember
• How to access your magic even in dark moments

The Birth of "Abracadabra" - A 14-Year Journey:

• Conceived in 2010 during a challenging time in Terry's life
• The story: A young girl named Dani runs from her parents' fighting, finds a branch by the lake, carves it into a wand
• Her reflection in the water becomes her sage, teaching her about the power within
• Finally published in 2024 after years of waiting for the "right time"

The Fiverr Miracle:

• How Terry found her illustrator Junaid Adi on Fiverr for $53
• Being put off when a man showed up instead of the woman she expected
• Choosing to give them a shot anyway—and the magic that followed
• Junaid's response: "It's the most inspirational child's book I've ever read... If I had this book before age 18, I wouldn't have gone through the crap I went through"
• Creating 15 illustrations in one month while crying and laughing together

The Vision for the Book:

• Teaching children they have power within them to create beautiful lives
• Helping kids grow into kinder, more connected adults
• The ripple effect: One child at a time, one parent at a time, changing the world
• The 30-year vision: Kids finding the book again at age 30 to share with their own children

Terry's Voice & Presence:

• Frequently told she has "a voice for radio"
• The power of smooth, warm, grounding energy
• How voiceover work and diverse experiences shaped her gift
• "What haven't you done?" - A resume of joy and diverse experiences

Foundation & Self-Love:

 ABOUT TERRY BEAN Terry Bean is a debut children's book author, life and executive coach, speaker, and someone who believes in magic, joy, and the power of reinvention. Her mantra—"Everything is always working out for me"—has guided her through multiple careers, cross-country moves, business crashes, and now, caregiving for her mother back in New York.

Her debut children's book, "Abracadabra," was conceived in 2010 and published in 2024. It tells the story of Dani, a young girl who discovers her inner power through her reflection in a lake. Terry's vision is to help children understand they have the power within them to create beautiful lives—and in turn, grow into kinder, more connected adults.

Terry has been told she has "a voice for radio" (and we agree!), and her warm, grounding presence is felt immediately. She's dabbled in voiceover work, built businesses, and lived many lives—all with joy, curiosity, and an unshakeable belief that everything is always working out. 

ABOUT "ABRACADABRA" - THE BOOK

The Story: Dani is running away from her parents who are fighting. She finds herself by a lake, sees her reflection in the water, and discovers a branch that she carves into a wand. Her reflection becomes her sage—her inner guide—teaching her about the power she carries within her through every stage of life.

The Illustrator: Junaid Adi (Jay), visual arts director of kidsbookart.com, created 15 beautiful illustrations in one month. He called it "the most inspirational child's book I've ever read." The Vision:

• Teach children they have power within them
• Help them create beautiful lives from the inside out
• Grow kinder, more connected adults
• Change the world one child at a time
