Does anyone else feel like 2019 was just plain bananas?
Throughout all the craziness, many themes continued to arise in my personal and professional life. The most frequent flyer was the concept of confidence and mindset.
Ya’ll, our minds are powerful entities, and literally embody our thoughts. Meaning, our bodies react and behave according to how we talk to ourselves and how we think on a regular basis.
If we are constantly berating and condemning certain aspects of ourselves, our minds will not believe we are capable, and certainly not confident. True confidence isn’t hard to acquire with a little practice. It just requires some re-training of the brain.
That’s why I’m providing three different strategies to help you shift your mindset, deepen your confidence and, ultimately, achieve your lofty, inspiring goals. Bonus points if your goals include building a private practice!
The coming year can be a repeat of history, or it can be a year of growth and opportunity. It’s up to you and your mindset which one you choose. I hope you choose the latter, and here is your starting point.

Most of us immediately think of our careers, our hobbies, maybe even our successes. Rarely, do we actually identify ourselves through our interests, values, and morals. As you deeply ponder this, I hope you realize that the latter shapes who you truly are as a person.

This fierce but authentically genuine woman describes the adversity she faced earlier in life, how she overcame it, and how all this ultimately lead her to running a mental health private practice and podcast, managing a nonprofit for girls, and becoming a deeply connected, driven person.
Pamela AND I want you to be able to break all the glass ceilings and take a seat anywhere at the table. We want you to discover your truest self, and then use that insight to create not only a great career, but a wonderful life!
Have a listen, so you can learn how to begin this journey TODAY.

So tell me more about how you failed this week.
Has anyone ever asked you that question before?
Maybe, but probably not. Most of
us tend to focus on our successes because that feels a lot better.
But we shouldn’t discount our failures! I didn’t begin to understand this concept until later in life… long after the eye rolls and liquefied embarrassment of my father rambling about failure to my friends in the car faded.
I didn’t yet realize why my dad was so zealous about failure! But, as I heard and learned from other extremely successful entrepreneurs about why they embrace failure, I realized that failure helps me learn from my mistakes, improve my ways of thinking and executing, and ultimately helps me grow in so many aspects.
Now, my dad conversates with me and my friends on a regular basis, and we don’t roll our eyes! We listen intently, and soak in the wisdom from an entrepreneurial man who failed many times, but succeeded even more.
You just don’t want to miss this short, but oh so sweet, episode, I promise!

The moment when you realize that letting go of your ego and focusing on solving your communities' problems is the true key to success, you will never look back.
So often, we fixate on ourselves. We worry, "Am I saying the right thing? Do I look the part? Should I get more credentials? Is my content up to par with others in my arena?"
All of these are valid, understandable questions, but the answers to these questions will not necessarily help solve your communities’ problems.
Our Podcast guest, Monica Mo, shares how she achieved success and fulfillment when she embraced the raw, vulnerable, humanness of people, and let go of trying to seem qualified enough, saying exactly the right thing, and shed her ego.
I cannot lie, I have a major girl crush on Monica, and this episode highlights exactly why. I’m amazed by her life experiences and how she effectively uses them to enhance her business and life. I value how she leads with her heart and inner wisdom to aid and build her community. And, I respect her generosity and advice.
Be sure to listen until the end...because Monica asks a bombshell question that gave ME goosebumps. Monica and I would love to hear your answers!
ABOUT MONICA MOMonica Mo is the founder and CEO of WellSeek, an online community platform on a mission to dispel myths and spread truth in the health and wellness world. Through her work as Curating Editor of the WellSeek Collective and founder of SeekHer Foundation, a non-profit project celebrating a woman's rise and resilience in her mental health journey, she envisions a world where everyone can uncover their own path of health and happiness.

She's also a Council of Directors Member at True Health Initiative, a global coalition of world-renowned health experts alongside David L. Katz, Sanjay Gupta, and Deepak Chopra.

Word of mouth marketing… an ancient rabbit hole OR the secret sauce to create a sustainable, successful private practice?
What do you think?
Well, I let you know exactly what I think about word of mouth marketing and how you can utilize it to leverage your private practice. I discuss the what, why, how, and when of this marketing technique and, as always, provide you actionable steps to begin implementing this today.
Word of mouth marketing might not appear as sexy as digital, social, and email marketing because it’s becoming less and less common and seemingly requires extra effort. But, in reality, this marketing technique is a reliable, validated, and timeless strategy for businesses, especially dietetic private practices.
In this episode, not only do I showcase my own unique experiences with word of mouth marketing, I also highlight the main drivers of this marketing technique, discuss why asking for reviews or testimonials is paramount, and the power of referrals.
If you feel stuck with digital marketing or just desire more clients, as we all do, you won’t want to miss this insightful episode.

Does the idea of changing paths in your career scare you?
Many of us enter the job field in one area but transition into another area, even if it is simply a different concentration within the same field.
Well, our guest, Stephanie, did just this, and boy did she benefit!
While working as a GI specialist, Stephanie began a leverage practice group, which led to her offering cooking classes to her surrounding community. Ultimately, these cooking classes sparked her transition from GI health into coaching and mentoring other health entrepreneurs.
Stephanie shares not only how she spontaneously, yet, intentionally achieved this, and also provides some of her best organizational, marketing, and launching skills and tricks. She reminds us that change and magic happen when we are vulnerable, and Stephanie encourages us to continually learn and expand, but to always make sure you also take action.
In what ways will you take action after listening to this episode? I’d love to hear your answer!
