GROWradio

After reading a few comments in one of the Facebook communities I am part of, I decided to host an impromptu live video in the GROWradio Listener’s Lounge. To my surprise, the video ended up going viral, being shared by a number of people across Facebook and Instagram! As a result, I decided to download the video and share it here for you. If you struggle with money mindset, understanding how & what to charge for your offerings, and how to build a clientele in your biz, this episode should ignite something within you. I hope you enjoy it!

In season one I asked the The GROWradio Listener’s Lounge community what they wanted to see more of on the show. The resounding answer was more support for wellness entrepreneurs, and more solo episodes! Since I’m not one to disappoint, I recorded a Wellness Business Q+A to share my thoughts on some of your most pressing questions. To date, it is one of the most listened to episodes!

I decided to record another Q+A for season 2 of the show, but I received so many questions that I had to share my answers in TWO parts. This episode is part 2!

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the following questions:

• I’ve been feeling like everyone on social media is another coach or business owner... how to we find and connect with others that are actually people? I see suggested accounts but those are all businesses and/coaches…

• Is this your full time job? Or do you have a side job?

• I would love to know how you juggle your two offerings: business coaching and nutrition. I find I have the same desire (not business coaching) but to offer two separate niches really. Planning, launching, it all looks so effortless! which nothing ever is :)

• What would you consider to be the most important area to focus on for someone just starting out and how to reach people in an “organic” way?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the following questions:

• How to format my program/course, how to deliver it. Do I use a PDF? Meal plans? Videos? - Question From: Jennifer Taverner - Reach Jenn on Facebook or Instagram

• When I repost my content from IG to FB it doesn’t get as much visibility. What can I do about this?

• Personal page? IG? Facebook page? Public? Private? What should I do here?

• How do I market in FB groups?

• How to deal with negative or intrusive thoughts. I have 20 spots open for my program and only booked 3 so far. How can I remain positive if I don’t fill all the spots?

• I’ve been feeling like social media is full of so many people offering free downloads and challenges and classes and those kinds of things that people don’t even notice them anymore. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that and how to stand out and get people interested. I know a huge part of it is showing my humanness! I genuinely enjoy showing up in my IG stories and showing ME, and I get quite a bit of engagement over on IG but getting people to take the next step and join my community or email list seems to be much more challenging. - Question From: Melanie Maxwell - Reach her on Facebook or Instagram

Why does it seem like the words LEAKY GUT, MICROBIOME, and GLUTEN are being thrown around so often these days? Well, that’s a complex question I could answer about a dozen different ways. As a matter of fact, once you begin learning about the gut, you quickly realize that gut health is the foundation for overall health. You also start to realize that the way the average modern citizen is living is NOT in favour of a strong foundation. The odds are against the vast majority of us.

This episode of GROWradio will only “scratch the surface” of a topic I could speak about for days on end. I hope it serves you and those you love in some way. Be sure to bring a notebook, because this one’s jam packed!

In this episode we discuss:

• What “the gut” actually is and where it begins and ends.

• How gut health can impact the entire body, and why it’s one of the most integral foundational pieces to overall wellness.

• What causes food sensitivities, why you may have some newer one’s you never had as a child.

• 3 simple, yet powerful steps you can take to improve your gut health, and nourish both body and mind.
