She is also the author of the award-winning bestselling book- Moments of the Heart: Four Relationships Everyone Should Have to Live Wholeheartedly. Dorice shared that she grew up in Israel and came to America after meeting her now husband, Bob, on an apple picking machine on a kibbutz. She remembers coming to this country with one suitcase, $600, and no coat in the month of December!Dorice has always been mission driven, asking herself: what are the gifts that you have that you can impart to other people? In her 22 year old mind, that translated into being an educator; Dorice spent 30 years as a Jewish educator before she transitioned to being a solopreneur. She is now using her unique gifts to be a light and serve others outside of the Jewish community, helping people navigate challenges and shift to a positive mindset.“So while we didn’t have money in abundance, we had the sense of giving and kindness and openness and really, I think it's probably better than money in abundance. It’s much better to have love and open your heart.” - Dorice HorensteinKey takeaways:- When contemplating a life change, have faith that things will be okay. Dorice was on the plane to Israel, flying to visit her sister who had been diagnosed with cancer, when she decided she was going to leave her job of 30 years. She had read the book, The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein on the flight, and knew with clarity that, though she wasn’t sure what would come next, that it would all work out okay.As Dorice described, it wasn’t just having faith and sitting on the sofa! She had faith in the universe AND in herself, that she had the discipline to put one foot in front of the other and move forward.- Know that everything you have done has prepared you for where you are now. Dorice doesn’t regret the years that she spent as a Jewish educator. It taught her compassion, while preparing her for her roles now as a Positive Intelligence coach and motivational speaker. - Recognize when your mindset is getting in your way. So many of us, when making a change, can get paralyzed, thinking that we need one more course, or one more certification, before we actually jump in. We as women can be especially stuck in our belief that we need to be perfect before we can move forward. And this feeling of “I’m not good enough yet” can also cause us to undercharge for our services.Dorice shared how she cultivates confidence in herself and her capabilities, and how she asks God to put the words in her mouth and enable her to inspire people before she goes on stage. She noted that she is able to view challenges in her life as opportunities, and to see herself as a thriver rather than a survivor. - Cultivate gratitude. Be present to all the good things already in your life. Dorice practices what she preaches, thanking God for returning her soul to her when she wakes in the morning, and sharing with her husband each day that she loves her life!About the guest:After serving as an officer in the Israeli army followed by years of leadership in the education field, Dorice, Oy to Joy speaker, uses her energy and charisma as she transitioned to make the world her platform.
