    Where Do We Go From Here?
    2021/03/02

    We all reach points in our lives where we realize that what we've been doing is no longer serving us. Maybe it was never serving us and we were only convincing ourselves that it was.

    So what do we do when we encounter these inevitable realizations?

  • How Effective Branding Can Unlock Confidence You Never Knew You Had with Sarah Ashman

    How Effective Branding Can Unlock Confidence You Never Knew You Had with Sarah Ashman
    2021/02/16
    Figuring out how to brand yourself, especially when starting out as a solopreneur, can be a daunting task. Instead of getting caught up in the trend-of-the-day, however, have you ever considered that maybe, the thing that matters most is tapping more deeply into who you are?We often find ourselves on the inside of our own bottle, unable to read the label on the outside. By approaching your branding with a flexible perspective that feels authentic to you, you can radiate the confidence necessary to grow your business and your brand. Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes, in-depth guest info, and more.In This EpisodeWhy the comparison game can have a negative effect on not only your mindset but your brand and business too (4:04)Tools to identify and gain clarity on the golden thread that runs through your brand on your own (11:39)How embracing who you really are can enable you to overcome your limiting beliefs (18:58)Which elements of your brand you should spend time on to elevate your business (24:55)How Sarah has grown her business with essentially no outward marketing (34:25)What's the biggest thing you've taken away from this podcast? I'd love to hear about it and feature your response on the show! Take 30 seconds to leave a review here including your biggest takeaway.The Importance of Your Personal StorySarah Ashman is a self-proclaimed unconventional brand designer who focuses on the internal process of branding to help her clients find success. Sarah has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years and has grown her own business with essentially no outward marketing. This is thanks to her crystal clear vision and the confidence that comes from knowing what makes you unique and standing strong in the way you show up in both your business and your life. Confidence Is KeyAs an entrepreneur, it can be easy to get caught up in the mentality that if you don’t have the confidence to pitch something, it will never work. In reality, you gain that confidence by feeling secure in what your superpowers are. Sarah knows that the strongest branding messages come from acknowledging who you are and what you want to be doing with your business. Once you get clear on that, your confidence will radiate and you will begin to attract people because your brand is authentic to you. Try focusing on where you want your brand to be in five years. By creating a brand that you can grow into, instead of just basing it on the current trends, you will have a better chance of creating a more sustainable branding approach that actually represents who you are more confidently. New Isn’t Always BetterWe are constantly being taught that we need to learn the next tactics and strategies and shift with the market. Sarah has come to understand and believe that it is really more important to develop a relationship with yourself as a marker of what feels right for you versus what someone else says is right for you. Having a strong sense of self is crucial to growing your businesses and your brand in a way that is sustainable and is clear on what you want your company to become. By using yourself as your own board of directors, you can assess what is the right thing to help you grow your business in a way that feels in alignment with you and your brand. What aspect of branding is most intimidating to you? How are you going to take Sarah’s tips to tap into your identity and create a brand that feels in alignment with who you are?

  • Grow Your Audience by Tapping Into Corporate Employee Wellness Programs with Ash Dey

    Grow Your Audience by Tapping Into Corporate Employee Wellness Programs with Ash Dey
    2021/02/09
    Workplaces are going through a wellness revolution. And while organizations rely on partner practitioners to help facilitate their employee wellness programs, individual practitioners are often unaware that these opportunities exist. It takes the right know-how to learn how to pitch these workplaces with your wellness offerings, but by doing it right, you can tap into a whole new captive audience. Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes, in-depth guest info, and more.In This EpisodeLearn which types of practitioners and wellness services businesses are looking to bring into their company (5:28)How to structure and price your wellness offerings to speak the language of business (13:14)Tips for finding and measuring your best results in both the short term and the long term (20:43)Who you should be looking for when making your pitch to a company (23:10)What you can do as a practitioner to increase the value of your offerings to a business (31:02)What's the biggest thing you've taken away from this podcast? I'd love to hear about it and feature your response on the show! Take 30 seconds to leave a review here including your biggest takeaway.Supporting a Community While Growing Your Business Ash Dey is passionate about building communities and a sense of belonging in the workplace. Founder of the wellness company OpenMind, Ash works to bring wellness practitioners, communities and companies together to deliver inclusive wellbeing programs for employees. He connects workplaces with care programs to help practitioners capitalize on partnerships, bring workplace wellness accessibility to major companies, and foster a greater sense of community and togetherness throughout employers in the UK. Wellbeing Is Now on the AgendaThe Covid-19 pandemic has workplaces around the world focusing on how they can actually do something to help their employee's wellbeing. Whether that is through workshops, speaking engagements, or one on one training, workplaces are finally realizing the long term financial and emotional benefits of taking care of their employees.When pitching your services to a business, it is important to focus on the value you are adding, rather than your price point. By pitching from a place of ‘this is a cost-saving to your business’ rather than ‘this is going to cost you money’, you can demonstrate your immediate return on investment and your ability to build up a wellness program based on what their employees need. Building Better Through People, Purpose, and PlanetWhen pitching yourself to a company or corporation, it is important to focus on the challenges they are having right now and how you can position your services to build connectivity among their companies peers. A great way to narrow down on this is by asking the employees for feedback, an opportunity many practitioners miss. Ash is all about having a positive impact on the workplaces he is supporting, the wellness practitioners he is connecting, and the planet as a whole. By removing accessibility barriers, connecting with a company directly through your pre-existing community, and introducing wellness programs into workplaces, you too can support your business more collaboratively and have a positive impact on your lead generation. Have you ever considered sharing your offerings with a small, medium, or large company? How does your wellness business work to have a positive impact on the people, purpose, and planet you serve?

  • How Embracing Fearvana Leads To Greater Joy & Fulfillment w/ Akshay Nanavati

    How Embracing Fearvana Leads To Greater Joy & Fulfillment w/ Akshay Nanavati
    2021/02/02
    Have you ever considered that the happiness you seek could be a side effect instead of your end goal itself? What if, instead of asking yourself which passion you want to follow, you focused on what struggle you are willing to endure? Akshay Nanavati knows a thing or two about fear and suffering and is here today to help you fall in love with your own unique worthy struggle.Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes, in-depth guest info, and more.In This EpisodeLearn what the ‘Worthy Struggle’ is and how it can play into your reason to be happy (3:25)Why you need to embrace the idea of falling in love with suffering to find progress (17:57)How to turn your demons into something purposeful through the paradox of singular duality (25:20)Tips for responding to fear, stress, and anxiety when building a business (43:19)Daily practices to help you conquer your demons and confront your fears (52:05)How to recognize fear in your wellness clients and help them address it as part of the healing process (1:01:28)What's the biggest thing you've taken away from this podcast? I'd love to hear about it and feature your response on the show! Take 30 seconds to leave a review here including your biggest takeaway.Discovering Your Opportunity for GrowthAfter serving in the Marine Corps and overcoming depression, substance addiction, and suicidal thoughts, Akshay literally wrote the book on developing a positive relationship with fear and suffering. Akshay’s mission is to help others find, live and love their worthy struggle so that they can experience a life of greater bliss and meaning. Now a lover of all things he used to be scared of, Akshay continually pushes himself physically and mentally to find the growth on the other side of the struggle. Falling In Love With The StruggleAkshay believes that life is meant to be lived, and experiencing struggle, fear, and stress are all part of the grand adventure. Instead of running from your fears, Akshay wants you to fall in love with the experience of suffering to continue to grow as a person and continually experience new awakenings. If you don’t have a worthy struggle in life, you are not going to grow. Every time you fall there is an opportunity for new growth if you choose to see it. If you want to determine your worthy struggle, Akshay suggests working backward from the future and getting clear on who you want to be. While knowledge comes from others, wisdom comes from within yourself, and it is only by embracing the fear and the struggle that you can benefit from the growth on the other side. Engaging With Your FearHaving confidence is not the fuel you need to try the thing that is causing your fear, stress, or anxiety. Confidence is the result of striving for clarity, commitment, conviction, courage, and developing your capabilities. The key to inner peace is the pursuit of a worthy inner war. When you are able to embrace, confront and understand your fear, you can use it as a catalyst to turn your demons into something purposeful. Being able to engage with your fear takes practice, but it is only by motivating yourself to get to the other side of fear that you can find true nirvana. The union of opposing dualities is where true spiritual awakening lies, and understanding this fear can help you push past your own anxieties, and your clients, to help them use fear as a crucial part of the healing process. Instead of beating yourself up over your fears, Akshay challenges you to engage with it, understand it, and move forward with it. By challenging yourself, stepping out of your current paradigm of the world, and embracing the coexistence of light and dark in all aspects of your life, you build ease, joy, and contentment into your life in a way that you never thought possible. How are you working to fall in love with the experience of suffering and use that growth as the catalyst to shift your mindset and find happiness in the struggle?

    How To Create Offers That Are in Line With Your Identity w/ Laura Schoenfeld
    2021/01/26
    Take it as a fact, there are people out there who need your version of help, your wisdom, and your experience. Instead of operating out of fear of failure or rejection, stepping into who you are and what you believe in will help get your message in front of the right people and create offers that are fully aligned with your vision.

Take 30 seconds to leave a review here including your biggest takeaway.Aligning Your Business With Your Beliefs with Laura SchoenfeldLaura Schoenfeld is passionate about helping women create businesses that not only help other people get healthy but also assisting them in creating the type of lifestyle that works better for women’s physiology. Laura knows that stepping into what you believe in, even if there is pushback, is the only true way to communicate to your niche and find your secret sauce to scaling your business and making more money. Your Identity Is Your BrandOften wellness business owners get hung up on creating a tool that can help everyone. But in reality, when you are trying to sell to everyone, you end up selling to no one. Who you are helping and what problem you are solving are two very different things. Defining a specific problem that you are helping solve is one of the best ways to get in front of your target audience. By focusing on a solution that you are offering, instead of a methodology, you can get your offer in front of the right people who are going to resonate with you. Once you have the problem you are solving locked down, you can start injecting your identity, beliefs, and core values into your offering. While you may get some pushback for standing up for what you believe in, Laura believes that if you aren’t true to yourself, you are only hurting your clients and the level of growth your identity could be having on your success.Don’t Be Afraid of FailureThere are very few successful business owners who have never had a failed launch. Being honest about when you fail, and diagnosing what went wrong in terms of your messaging, can ensure that you have a successful launch the next time around. Don’t let a failed launch define you as a business owner. Instead, figure out why it didn’t work and be patient with yourself about healing after a perceived failure. If you have had a less than successful launch, remember that you survived it, and now you can move forward with your business knowing that you can handle whatever comes your way. How are you working to create offers that not only make you money but truly align with your identity as well? Share your answer with me in a voice message here.

    How To Embrace the Seasons of Your Life and Business with Juju Hook
    2021/01/19

    Our lives are made up of different seasons that we all transition through in our own unique ways. While these transitions can be scary, they are often areas of opportunity if you can get to the other side. If you have a burning desire to do ‘the big thing’, but are afraid that you either can’t do it or have missed your chance, Juju Hook is here to tell you why that is not the case.



    Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes, in-depth guest info, and more.

    • Common phrases that most people shift through in their lives and their businesses (7:10)
    • The first step you need to take to reframe your season of life (11:16)
    • How your perception of time plays into the timelines we set to achieve our goals (23:23)
    • Why you should embrace experimenting when it comes to your life and your business (31:05)
    • What to do when you want to change paths but are worried about giving up what you have been working towards (37:38)

    Facing Your Feelings With Juju Hook

    When Juju was approaching the age of 50 she started to avoid the feelings that were bubbling up inside her. After an incident forced her to take a look at her perspective, she realized that her feelings were not a problem, but were a sign that a new season was coming. Instead of looking at this transition as a loss, Juju embraced her new mindset and has used her expertise as a brand strategist to help other mid-life women business owners build a presence both online and in real life.


    Defining Your Essence

    Juju encourages her clients to define their essence in the same way you would describe a bottle of wine. By getting clear on the things that you have mastered, you can find a way to take your existing skills and learn what you can do with them in a new and exciting way.


    We are not called to do things that we cannot handle. What you are called to do comes from your unique essence and you can absolutely handle it. Rather than perceiving a transition as a loss, focus on the opportunity that can come from change, and have faith in yourself that you can conquer it.


    It All Comes Down To Your Perfect Day

    Take a moment and envision what a perfect day would look like to you. Who are you with, where are you, what are you eating for breakfast? Getting specific about what you want will help you course-correct into finding what will make you happy right now.


    Life is not a series of pass and fail tests. It is okay to change your mind, to jump from one thing to another is not a failure. Instead of getting wrapped up in the false stories that we tell ourselves, Juju wants you to embrace transition as a truly beautiful time in your life.



    What does your perfect day look like? How can you use your essence, skills, and mastery to achieve that? Let me know your thoughts in a voice message here.

  • How To Make Real Money With Your Online Wellness Business with Michelle Leotta

    How To Make Real Money With Your Online Wellness Business with Michelle Leotta
    2021/01/13
    Of course, one of the primary goals of starting a business is to make money. But making a solid income as an online wellness professional doesn't happen overnight. It takes a solid game plan, clarity on your why, and regularly making the right offers to do more than just scraping by with your online wellness business.Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes, in-depth guest info, and more.In This EpisodeThe importance of having a distinct ‘why’ when stepping up your mindset and earning potential (7:51)The most effective income-generating activities that you might be missing (12:24)How to get over the stumbling block of baseline pricing yourself and your services and how to grow over time (25:05)Why getting clear on your target market can increase both your perceived and actual value (31:44)Tips for expanding your current offerings into multiple revenue streams and how quickly you should start (41:01)The role of podcasting in your marketing systems (49:33)What's the biggest thing you've taken away from this podcast? I'd love to hear about it and feature your response on the show! Take 30 seconds to leave a review here including your biggest takeaway.All Things Money with Michelle LeottaMichelle Leotta has a story similar to many health coaches. Sick and tired of being told by doctors that ‘everything was fine’ when she knew it wasn't, she got curious, took her health into her own hands, and finally saw the results she had been looking for.Michelle’s health coaching business took off immediately, which quickly attracted the attention of other health coaches who were struggling with the business side of things. As a result, Michelle has been mentoring health coaches for as long as she has been coaching herself, and she has first-hand experience when it comes to all things money and making a real profit with your wellness business. Unlocking Unlimited Earning Potential Even if it might not feel like it for you right now, as wellness entrepreneurs, we have unlimited earning potential. The key to unlocking that potential is figuring out your distinct ‘why’ and creating the right offers that are in line with it. Understanding your ‘why’ helps you to hone in on your target audience, and create more highly-targeted offers, which increases your confidence when selling. Michelle shares how from this starting point, increasing your profitability often isn’t about adding ever-more products and services, but by simplifying and doubling down on your existing “money-making activities”.Michelle suggests focusing on how you are earning money week by week and setting time-based goals around your income-generating activities to help track and narrow down where your profit is actually coming from. The more offers you make, and the more time you spend on your “money-making activities” the more profit you’re going to create. It’s a simple formula that can have a massive impact on your ability to develop consistent, predictable revenue.Beat Your Own High Score, Not Somebody Else’sWhen it comes to money and pricing, it’s so common for wellness entrepreneurs to get caught up in the comparison game. Instead of looking at what other people are doing, however, and pricing your services according to that, try and focus on what your service is truly worth to the people you are solving problems for.By pricing your products and services according to what it’s worth to your audience to solve, you can position your offer in a way that increases both your perceived value and your actual value.Instead of comparing yourself to someone else who appears successful, try and beat your own high score, not theirs. If you truly solve a problem in your clients' lives, they will be happy to pay you for the results you help them achieve. Where are you currently leaving money on the table?
