Brigitte Cutshall is a health advocate and speaker who is passionate about encouraging others to lead their happiest, healthiest lives. She's the founder of Gemini Media, a creative enforcer, Real Things Podcast host, and author of five books.

Key Takeaways:

• Authenticity, openness to feedback, and clarifying aspirations foster trust-building. Ask thoughtful questions, listen empathically, identify shared values, and avoid forcefully pushing opinions.
• Advocate for yourself, ask questions, find supportive people, and make positive lifestyle changes. Pursue activities that bring positivity and endorphins without overdoing it. Pause, reflect, and focus on enjoyable activities to cope with overwhelming events.
• Cultivate positive energy, authenticity, and relationship-building to connect effectively. Find happiness through intrinsic motivation, self-acceptance, and embracing life's simple joys.
• Establish aligned, authentic relationships while adhering to standards. Let go of incompatible clients gracefully without burning bridges. Communicate truthfully and calmly, and allow time for thoughtful responses.

“Authenticity, that's just so important. That's how we connect and develop relationships.”

“Don't start off with a long story, that will turn people off. You want to get to the point, but you have to have some takeaways. You got to ask them the right question.”

“Pause and try not to react. Reflect on what's making you upset.”
