Wendell Miracle

Wendell Miracle is the founder of Hope Nuggets. He started this movement to bring hope to people who are facing hopeless situations and to give them practical steps to accomplishing their dreams. The motivation behind all of this was that he suffered from huge bouts of anxiety and depression. Back in 2012 after battling breast cancer for 13 years his mother passed away. It was so dark in his life that he lost his job, his life savings, and he almost went bankrupt because of the depression.

He one day realized that life is too short to be depressed. Life is too short to not enjoy every single day. He made the decision to be happy. He also made the decision to find out how to overcome depression and accomplish big dreams by studying the lives of people who have done it. Flash forward to today and he’s now living in abundance in every area of his life. Wendell is a professional speaker, author, life coach, and sales guru. He’s completely obliterated depression and he’s here to help you win the fight too!

I’m so excited for you to connect with Wendell, check out his work and new book, and follow along as he continues to challenge others to uncover the magic during tough times.

I'd love it if you'd introduce yourself, what you do, and what you're working on.

I’m Wendell Miracle. I’m a happiness coach, motivational speaker and author. I just released my first book in February and I’m sharing my message of hope around the world.

How did you get started?

Back in 2013 I started an Instagram page called @hopenuggets. Back then Instagram only gave me 15 seconds to speak on video. So it was literally a “nugget” sized video designed to bring you hope hence the name @hopenuggets

What inspired the work that you're doing?

In 2012 after battling breast cancer for over a decade my mother passed away. It was the darkest time of my life. I suffered from anxiety and depression and nearly went bankrupt all in the same year. One day I realized that life is too short to be depressed and that my mom would love for me to live life happy, and that’s when I started the Hope Nuggets movement.

What is your biggest passion? Do you feel like you're living your passion and purpose?

Helping people overcome anxiety and depression. And yes I do feel like I’m making an impact while living my passion & purpose.

What is your joy blueprint? What lights you up, brings you joy, and makes you feel the most alive?

I start each day with gratitude. The first thing I say every morning is “I’m grateful I woke up and opened two gifts- my eyes.” When you live in a state of gratitude it’s nearly impossible to be depressed. It brings me joy to help others find their joy and passion.

How do you live intentionally? Are there tools/resources/practices that you rely on to help you stay mindful and grounded?

I have a concentrated gratitude practice every morning. I believe our morning routines are extremely important and powerful. I give thanks for all that I have right now, I’m grateful for my health, my job & my family. Then I give thanks for all my past victories, the time I was sick and got healed, the time I needed a job and a breakthrough happened.

Then I give thanks for what I desire as if it already happened. And then I dance in my car celebrating all of this. I never miss a day!

What would your younger self think about what you're doing now?

He would be absolutely shocked. My younger self was not a happy go lucky joyful person. I had to train my mind to focus on joy.

Do you have a go-to mantra or affirmation?

All that I do leads to my health, wealth, success & happiness.

I’m beautiful, talented, strong & amazing.

What is your biggest dream?

To bring this message of hope and joy to millions of people across the globe.
